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.

Finally a video on mixed body types! I noticed that the mix pear/hourglass was missing though.

[@DD-po2hh]

Right

[@sparker7768]

Me too! I love wearing more form-fitting dresses, skirts and jeans that emphasize my naturally emphasized thighs 😃

[@dammar117]

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.

[@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!!!

[@ericadewitt1337]

You have described my mixed body type exactly. I would like to hear Chi talk about this type of body as well!

[@gloriacook2708]

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.

[@karenrobbins6656]

I never thought I fit into the typical body types. I think I am a rectangle with a little bit of waistline but not enough to be hourglass. I’m glad I found your channel. I’ve learned a lot from all your videos

[@PetiteDressing]

So glad to hear Karen!

[@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!

[@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!

[@KatharinaEwers]

I'm an hourglass with a small bust and skinny legs 😀 I gain weight evenly, but by the time I gain enough to have normal-sized bust and legs, I get a protruding stomach. If I lose enough weight to have visible abs, my bust and legs become non-existent.

[@sarahredfox7942]

Thank you so much for this!! I think I'm an hourglass rectangle/ or inverted Triangle rectangle 😅😅😅🤣🤣

[@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!

[@justsayin5048]

Omg you just described my body type

[@spiceponies]

Love the videos, I'm 5' so it's really refreshing to get petite advice from someone who is genuinely petite herself! Would love to see one which is half way between hourglass and inverted triangle! I look like an inverted triangle from the front because my shoulders are slightly wider than my hips but I measure nearer an hourglass thanks to my glutes as I have a waist of X, bust of X+10" and hips of X+9".

[@PetiteDressing]

Thanks for letting me know!

[@mrscmeier9570]

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. 😒

My Shoulders are: 36, Bust: 34, Waist: 24/25, & Hips: 34. I look like a mix of rectangle, hourglass, and inverted triangle. Even though my breast are uneven, they are the same measurement as my hips. But my waist is about 8.5 inches smaller than both hips and bust. My measurements are like that of an hourglass, but when I look in the mirror, I don't fully see it. I still struggle to find the right clothes for me, because I either look boxy, or curvy with a full bust, or look like I have either small or muscular shoulders. I'm so confused.

@@chiomontenegro well that's a bit hard to tell you what to wear, considering I'm not an expert myself. Likewise, I'm still in confusion with defining my own body type. However, have you ever looked up videos or online articles about what a spoon, or a spoon/rectangle body type could wear? And where to shop at? If not, then I would recommend that you check those out. They could be more helpful with tips and advice than what I'm giving you. I hope this helps out a least a bit 😊

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)

Oh my goodness! Thank you for this video!

You are so welcome!

Waist is 9" less than hips and 10" less than bust/shoulders. I finally figured out I'm in between hourglass and inverted triangle. Hourglass: hips = bust/ shoulders. Inverted triangle: bust/shoulders are 2" more than hips. In my case, bust/shoulders are 1" more than hips. It was on another of Chi's videos that I finally understood why I didn't really look like the hourglass I assumed I was.

[@cj434]

small chested hourglasses exist too

[@alinafischbach]

I am 5`2 and my shoulders are a little bit bigger than my hips. I have a waist, but it is only about 22% smaller than my hips. I coud be a mix of Hourglass and Rectangle with a belly. But I don´t have a short torso. My legs are short and my torso is longer. It is quiet hard to define my bodytyp.

[@tonidoll7955]

I’ve watched so many fashion videos but yours are the most helpful

[@sevenis9712]

I am so happy to see a new video! I think before my menopausal weight gain I was a pear and now I’m pear apple. I was always small in shoulders and waist but had butt and thighs. Still smaller up in shoulders but now tummy butt and thighs. Lol

[@emmiepehush]

I loved this video but I still can't figure out my body type. I am 5'1, with broad shoulders, I have small breasts 36 B, I work out so I am muscular and toned! I have a flat belly with an 8 pack. My torso is short but my legs are definitely not long, average pro portion to shorter, I'd say. They are very toned and defined, but I purposely hold back on heavy weighted squats so I can fit off the rack clothing. Do you have any idea what body type combo I could be? I'm not sure how to include a picture here but I know that would be helpful . I have an account under eloquentlyemmie and you could view some images there. I love your channel, you have so much fashion and style knowledge. ❤️💃 I call myself an athletic petite but still can't get my body type mix figured out . I would really appreciate your help. Thank you! ❤️ Emmie

[@PetiteDressing]

Hi Emmie! Sounds like you have some features of rectangle and inverted triangle- both can be quite athletic shapes! Inverted triangle has smaller hips than shoulders, while rectangle looks like straight up and down with a squarish look.

[@lf9341]

Finally! I am a rectangle hourglass! Kibbe was so confusing!

[@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

[@windflowerrainstorm6497]

please change music! to leas terrible music!!!!!! please i luv your channel

[@terifairbanks8569]

Chi, As I wrote earlier I am 4,8 but also quite heavy at this point, I am in the process of trying too lose 100+ lbs, due to medical reasons, but like you said my thighs also gain weight. Shoulders 50 inches Bust 36 inches Waist line. 47 inches Hips. 56 inches Inseam. 25 inches Thighs Separate 25 1/2 inches together (51) inches

To me Serena Williams has a relatable body type. But not really

[@sarahevens4831]

I would love to see more about mixed body types but first I want to tell you: I LOVE your videos. You make things so easy to understand. I also love your sense of humor! 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?

[@stargwynn1]

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

[@cynthiabrown5994]

Noted- thanks for sharing Deb!

[@anshuka3852]

Im hourglass/pear shaped 😂. My shoulder looks broad but my hips measurement is wider than my shoulder and I've defined waist

[@AkihitoMr]

Petite and chubby hourglass here. My shoulder and hip bone are the same but my arms are fleshy. So it's give an illusion of inverted triangle😅😅😅

I was so happy, that there was a video about mixed body tipes. Since I think I have one. My personal combination isn't in the video though. First I thought I had an hourglass-figure. My shoulders are about the same width as my hips, and I have a small waist. BUT I have thicker legs as well. Espacxially down of the butt-region. So I guess I'm part hourglass, part pear?

[@lynxycon.exe-_-]

I ha be an hourglass but very small bust so I casino myself as pear/hourglass

[@universgaming4288]

Thanks sister

[@susanmctavish8347]

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.

[@PetiteDressing]

You're welcome ❤️❤️

[@Joy_Mission]

Apple and rectangle! I have narrow shoulders and narrow hips but gain weight in my waist. I have long torso, short legs, no defined waist. After five kids I have struggled to lose the weight around the midsection. Help!

[@emanuelamarchetti5559]

Good point, these are archetypes, abstractions, not real bodies anyway, reality is always more messy ;)

[@jayrox4464]

Even though I’m not petite your advice about styling my mixed body type was very helpful. Thank you.
