Can't figure out your body type? This will change your life.

[@ZForce5496]

I call myself an “appleglass”. I have broad shoulders and a full bust and full hips that are balanced with each other, but I also gain weight in my belly first, it sticks out, and even at my thinnest is soft and full, even if my waist is smaller than my hips and bust. I am never sure which fashion tricks I should focus on.

[@PetiteDressing]

Love the name "appleglass"!

[@manunascimxnto]

I'M EXACTLY JUST LIKE YOU AND IT CONFUSES ME SO MUCH UUUUGH

[@soniachauhan4459]

Totally. To top it all, I gain weight on my arms too. That makes it even harder. I've found that long sleeved dresses that are fitted on top and A line at the bottom look good. Wide leg pants also look great. Also, colours! Darker on top and lighter at the bottom.

Pear and hourglass are very similar. If you are only 1" less in bust/shoulders than hips, with a smaller waist, you would be in between. Otherwise, if the difference is 2" or more, you're a pear. She explained this in another video. That's how I finally figured out that I am in between hourglass and inverted triangle. My bust/shoulders are 1" more than hips, both measurements larger than waist.

[@PetiteDressing]

So glad to hear Karen!

[@gundog4273]

This makes so much sense. I'm between rectangle and hourglass. I've always said my torso is short and my legs are long. Too much waist to be a rectangle, not enough to be an hourglass. My shoulders and hips are wide but balanced. The styles you said wouldn't flatter were spot. On. Shapeless clothes... yuck. Shirts that tent out over your breasts... double yuck. Fitted shirts with a line skirts are my uniform. My favorite top has a neckline that's supposed to be a total no no for rectangles (a boat line) and the sides are ruched so it is very fitted. That paired with a flared a line skirt and I look my best. I find cutting the skirt at the calf works best to add some balance to my shape. Bringing the skirt all the way to the ankle looks unbalanced, probably thanks to my long legs.

[@PetiteDressing]

Thank you for sharing! Glad you like it!

[@heathhanz842]

Thanks for explaining that we can be a mix of multiple body types- this really rings true for me! I am in between inverted triangle/rectangle and apple. My shoulders are slightly broader, but my chest/hip measurements are pretty close. My torso and legs are balanced. My waist is slightly smaller than my hips but not too defined. My legs are always slimmest with little-to-no butt. And my extra fat is always on my chin/arms and tummy/lovehandles, kind of like a spare tire effect!

[@misskelly2871]

I was so excited for this video, especially because I have never seen one of these before. Your videos are so so practical and so useful and I'm so happy you make them. I was sad that I didn't feel my body type was covered. I have a super tiny waist, I have a decent sized butt/thighs and gain weight all over. I have small boobs but I have broad shoulders! If I had a bigger natural bust I would be a classic hourglass but the small bust throws everything off for me. My only conclusion is that I am a pear with broad shoulders. Would love for that body shape to be covered because your tips are so awesome!!!

Same here.

[@bethanyday3471]

are you just assuming your shoulders are wide or did you actually measure them? i have found 90% of women think their shoulders are wide but in reality they aren't. but you have described my mixed type. broad shoulders (39 inches), small chest (36 inches), natural waist/slightly small waist (28-30 inches), big butt (40 inches, but my actual hip bones are fairly narrow - just have a bit 'ole butt). these measurements become even more exaggerated when i am not overweight as i am now. 37" shoulder, 31" bust, 24" waist, 36" butt.

[@misskelly2871]

@@bethanyday3471 great question. Maybe I am assuming my shoulders are wide and they're not. They're wider than my hips, and a pear is typically described as having not wide shoulders. My measurements are: shoulders 40 inches, bust 34 inches, waist 28 inches, hips 36 inches, butt 40 inches. What do you think? My measurements indicate balance, small waist, just not a big bust lol.

[@bethanyday3471]

@@misskelly2871 we definitely have the same mixed body type lol. though i wouldn't say you have wide shoulders. but they are a bit wider than average (just like mine!). honestly ive only met about 5 women in my whole life who have hips that were wider than their shoulders. on average the hips are a bit narrower than the shoulders. getting away from these specific body types i'd say you're pretty balanced lady with smaller chest. how did you manage to measure your hips without the butt? i haven't figured how how to do that. i am only 5 feet tall though.

[@marigold4149]

My shoulders are broadest part of my body; there’s some waist definition, but when I gain weight it’s in the belly and the curves go away. I try to emphasize the shoulders and define the waist; belts are my BEST friend. Your videos are very helpful for petite fashion, Chi; thanks for making these!

I'm a true hourglass and even when I gain weight, I keep a very small waist. My waist never is larger than 24". But as I gain weight in my thighs, butt, arms and bust, I also gain weight in my lower belly below my natural waist line. So when I'm heavier, I feel like all the clothes I'm supposed to wear to bring attention to my naturally small waist also call attention to my lower belly. 😒

I was so hoping that you would suggest styles for each of these mixed shapes, and you did! Yay! When I was a young, busty, slender hourglass with long legs, I always felt my body was too sexy, and wanted a smaller bust. Now, I’m always trying to make my waist look slimmer (Type 3). I think you should run with the nomenclature of mixed body types 1-4, you could call them M1, M2, etc., that would be groundbreaking and help so many women!

💐Hi Kimberly: Agree w/you on 🏵️Chi's utter brilliance. She is the first stylist to EVER identify all of my unique challenges as a voluptuous (not obese) hourglass⏳. While 5'7", her wisdom still applies. 🤔 Can definitely see how her using codes to differentiate the Mixed Body Types would be an excellent learning device for her viewers who fall in those categories. 😉 I understand what you mean. Have a showgirl shape w/a girl next door persona. My body has always been way too va-va-voom for my comfort level. Wearing figure flattering, body conturing clothes helps to reduce any appearance of bulk around my smallest mid-section, but that also gives too much attention to curves. That 👀draws the wolves. 😁Admire ladies that have the ability to keep 'em @ bay. 💚 Bridget from Cali ☘️ (using my pal's YT acct)

Thanks for your great descriptions. I also am a combo and find it hard to find a perfectly described body shape. I am a ‘soft natural ‘ in the kibbe body type system. I guess a combination of rectangle, inverted triangle and romantic or softer hourglass. I don’t have long legs like a rectangle or inverted triangle often have. I have fleshy thighs and upper arms. I am medium to large boned. I have a soft curve to my waist but become more rectangle or boxy if I gain weight. My waist is never tiny like an hourglass but not straight up and down either. My chest and hips are close to the same measurement. I gain weight all over. I am an endomorph and can look fleshy but can also look more muscular like a mesomorph if I work out hard. I have broad shoulders and chunky feet. I have a butt. I have a fairly big rib cage and long torso. When I’m at my thin weight I have small boobs but boobs become bigger with weight gain. I also have thicker ankles which I am not fond of and feel self conscious about them when exposed. I really appreciate your tips for making legs appear longer, waist smaller, and shoulders less wide.

I think I am a short waisted hourglass. I am a busty 5'2" (34DD). My measurements are 35-27-36. I have small shoulders and slim thighs. For most of my life, until curvy styles came in I couldn't get comfortable clothes. Pants were always too tight on my hips and belly but too big on my waist. I have only ever found one button down shirt that fits me properly and that's because it was chosen by bra size. When I lose weight it comes off everywhere at once but no matter what, even though my waist is small, my stomach is still round in front. Does that mean I am apple or pear shaped? My legs are long for my height and short-waisted to the point where I have trouble with wrap dresses and tops. The only clothes that really work are fitted from just below my bust down below my natural waist but that disguise my belly at the widest part of my hips. How can I branch out to other styles? Can you figure out why some ruched items look good but others just make my belly look even bigger?

Hi Chi ! Wow thank you 👏🏼👏🏼you’ve nailed it . Thank you a jillion times 🥰

[@GracefulLiving1]

Your Channel is so helpful and make me proud and grateful to he petite as well

[@lpscynthia]

I struggle with finding my shape because I have broad shoulders and an apple shape as well as large thighs and slender lower legs/arms. My bust is small though, so its confusing.

[@marieclaire1559]

Still confused a little bit... I have a small chest but my shoulders are slightly wider than my hips... But boat necks look good on me while off the shoulders garments disrupt the balance between my hips and my shoulders. Moreover I tend to gain weight on the lower part of my belly and on my hips and I don't have much waist definition. But my legs are slightly longer than my torso🥴🥴🥴 Maybe I'm an apple/pear inverted triangle?😅

[@Mialinna7]

Thank you, you are the best!, I'm not petite but you give so much good advice that i haven't find anywhere else. I'm an inverted triangle and apple (now i know) and have struggled with how to dress all my life but your videos have really helped me ❤❤❤❤

[@PetiteDressing]

Thank you Caroline! So happy to help!

[@gee5837]

😂😂😂😂😂I love your sense of humor...the beginning of the video got me laughing

[@astrowave4732]

Thank you so much! I’ve finally found my type! An Hourglass\Rectangle! Thank you because I’ve been so confused!

[@andyherrick3265]

I am an apple and rectangle. My hips waist and shoulders are the same width, I have a large bust and gain weight in my stomach first. My legs are always thin and I have no butt. Thanks for your videos!

[@mandycheng1508]

Such a great video. Thank you for making it. I think I am a rectangular pear. I am rectangle with board shoulder and no waistline but I have a wide hips but a flat butt! When I gain weight, it’s all over. I can be wrong. I am not sure.

[@gracegamboa1819]

I just love y0u! Your channel is amazing! Simple explanations and very clear .😍💜

[@PetiteDressing]

Thank you so much Grace! So glad to hear I can help!

[@caroltaylor4282]

Rectangle hourglass? My waist definitely goes in but it’s higher and so are my hip bones. Figure 8? Slim legs. Hips and bust are the same.

[@divestedkonservativekarame4269]

My measurements are 35.5 right now 24.5 35.5. my bus is around 38 39 in? When I gained weight like 5 or 10 lb. Usually it's like five I'm usually around 37 and shoulders 37 inch hips. And a 26 in waist my bus is 38 in. Now the thing is my bust area is very long. And it's the biggest part of me. So I think that's why people think I'm top-heavy. And I am top-heavy. But I think our glasses can have bigger breasts than everything. As long as the shoulders are the same as the hips so that's it is similar

[@Godsholydaughter]

Ma'am my shoulder is 36 Chest is 31 Waist is 26 Hip is 34 what am i ????????

[@arunicahom-choudhury1641]

I think I would say I'm apple/ hourglass as I have broad shoulders, full bust, a bit of tummy, big hips and bum

[@stargwynn1]

What about broad sloping shoulders, small bust, small waist, with bigger hips and butt but not as big as shoulder….?

[@fayeoc1103]

Broad shoulders, small bust, big belly ( protruding) , big hips. I think i have apple, inverted triangle

[@flushthecatnip]

This has probably been one of the most useful body type videos I've watched. I've always wondered if someone could be more than one body type, because mine never fit into one category. According to your video, I might be a rectangle- pear. I have a large bust, no matter how much I weigh. My waist is short and not well defined, my hips and booty are average tho, and my hips are the same width as my shoulders. My legs are weirdly long (and so are my arms) for me to be only 5'2". Thank you so much for this, it has been so helpful! 🥰

[@PetiteDressing]

Thanks for watching!

[@skcjeet]

Love the dress 11min, 40 seconds in. Do you have a link? Love the video

Finally somebody talks about this!. I think I am a pear + inverted triangle body shape

[@PetiteDressing]

So glad to hear from you, Maria!

[@AnaiTarot]

I'm a petite Pear- hourglass, and plus size, It's taken me years to figure that out, thank you for your videos, I can finally style myself in 30's 🙈

[@PetiteDressing]

You are so welcome, Thanks also for watching!

[@stoicepictetus833]

I call myself a pear, but my measurements are close to an hourglass. My shoulders are 11/2" smaller than my hips and my waist is 8"smaller than my shoulders. I have thick thighs (my worst) and wear a D cup on my boobs. I tend to put on weight all over; I've recently lost weight and am now a size 10, but was a size 14. I put on weight all over my body, but stayed the same ratio (i.e. remained slightly bigger on my thighs whilst I put on weight). Love your channel; the most informative I've come across re petities - have started shopping already now I've got my confidence back after the weight loss - was 'tenting up' before. Thank you! 🙏👏

[@laurasievers3966]

Can you be an hourglass with hip dips? My shoulders are wider than my waist, big bust, small waist, and wide hips. But because of the hip dips I am not sure...

[@m.e.5]

wide legged trousers may help fill in those hip dips. Your body type is beautiful!

[@PetiteDressing]

Yes it's possible for hourglass to have hip dips!

[@xtelfolaj]

So I think I'm a mix between an inverted triangle and pear. I'm skinny built, small chest with broad shoulders. However I always had a smaller waist that curves in. My hips are smaller than my shoulders but because my waist is smaller it gives me the illusion of a curve. When I gain weight it usually goes to my lower body. Does that fit that body type?
