My god what a collection of hideous female specimens. I’m guessing it’s to make whoever identifies with one of the body types feel better about themselves.

Direct yourself off this page and go talk crap where it dosent make other girls on here with body types like that feel even more insecure than they already are ( take me for example)

My suggestion to anyone reading the post by “fart” is to just laugh at the pitiful soul. Idiots will be idiots, and some people enjoy stirring up trouble online because they’re too cowardly to do it in the real world.
These so-called “hideous” women are normal-looking people who are brave enough to stand in front of the camera without the usual props (photoshop, pancake makeup, nice clothing, posing, etc). They’re all wearing the same clothing (which isn’t exactly flattering for any body type) in order to outline the various shapes that women typically possess.

What the hell are idiots like this doing on a body shapes site? Judging by your name, you’re obviously a guy, so I’m doubting you fit into any of the 12 female body shapes described above – go troll somewhere else.

Joseph, if that is so, stick to the plastic ones you are used to and get out of here.

By: jenny on 7 March, 2008

I’m a vase, and I’m happy with that… although I do wish I had a smaller waist like an hourglass.
By: Jenni on 25 March, 2008
at 5:50 am
its very difficult for me (a seventeen year old) to identify my figure type with these models. Because honestly they carry much more weight than i do :S and are alot older. Can you help me? Im very tall, have a smaller top have than bottom, medium/large thighs, long legs, medium brests, large hips and a defined waist.
By: monica on 25 March, 2008

i have the same problem.. one thing i would do is go onto your favorite clothing store website and look at the models.

i am somewhere between a skittle and a cornet. small boyish top small chested ok waist but wide narrow hips that expand to wide thighs. i’ve been pretty good about hiding the parts i don’t like but friends think i am hiding my bdy in my clothes.

i’m a hour glass & i love it! i’m a little heavier than the model & i have a classic black girl butt that sticks out.
By: ki on 13 June, 2008
at 5:13 am
I’m an hourglass and I love it! And I do agree that certain clothes make me feel pregnant. :s Which is why I don’t like wearing hip-huggers, and if I do wear them I only wear them with a belt.
By: Emily on 11 July, 2008

i don’t really know what i am… everyone tells me i am an hourglass, but i’m very self conscience… i guess i am though. i do fit the description; i have a large chest and short waist… but that you for the help. Now i think i can finally believe my friends and family.

By: Charlotte on 2 August, 2008
at 9:37 pm
I agree with monica. I’m 17 too so I feel that these models don’t really apply to me. I think I’m an hourglass (31-23-31)? but I’m averse to V-necks because they make my breasts look too far apart =/ I wish I was a Vase because they’re taller! and I’m only 5’1″

They could have at least fixed up these models with makeup and different clothing.
They all look sweaty, ugly, dirty, and non-hygenic.
Make them look clean for once!
By: Meme on 6 August, 2008
at 6:41 am
Oops. Another dummy who believes that the photoshopped pics are the real ones. Wake up! BTW they’re wearing that type of clothing to give a better idea of true body shapes without masking anything. To show what different body types look like when wearing the same thing. And I’m pretty sure they even have some makeup on, just not enough to look like the plastic, doctored-up images you’re obviously used to seeing.

I’m a little heavy, but I’m pretty sure I’m an Hour glass. Big boobs, wide hips, my butt isn’t great or anything.

tankgod there are more than 3 shapes, but I still can’t place myself in any of them, though I must admitt these women are mostly middle aged or older.
I have the most confusing body shape i have to admit. see if you can figure it out:
I’m short, infact Im 157cm tall. 48 kj, so thats average wight, so my shape should be pretty obvious…not.
I’m pretty pettit, so that means I’ve got narrow shoulders, narrow hips and a tiny waist and rib-cage.
Slightly short legs, a long middle and long slender arms. I’m roughly a C cup and they stick out wider than my chest.
Though my hips are pretty narrow, narrower than my shoulders(i have to wear belts) I don’t have large thighs, but I have a decent bottom which sticks out like anything and strong calves which wont slim down no matter how much exercise I do. No matter how much a eat, my stomach never gets bigger, its always been flat. I think it all goes to my bum.
So i’m a short spoon????

Ehm, frum mai point of vue you seem to be an cornet or a goblet.

By: kalli on 24 January, 2009
at 1:58 am
Yeah, same problem here! I really thought I was a pear and then this woman’s tummy is sooo tiny haha. Then I’m like… cello? Emm i think not. Problem is all these woman are different weights so it’s hard to tell what’s the shape and what’s the extra fat :/

i have a huge butt, and small waist, and broad shoulders, so i dont know either. i´m more like the “chicken”, the hiphop-model form.
lol. just joking. but then again not beacuse of the really broad shoulders. my shoulders are like (dunnow how to measure them) 37, my bust a small 34D, waist 26, hips 38 and butt 40. all mix

By: Susan on 5 October, 2009

I think I am a goblet, I have the broad shoulders so that they can carry my breast which are large. My butt isn’t big,kind of flat like the typical white woman but I am a black female.i got those legs that are okay but they aren’t long because I am only 4″11″. what must I do to loose this body shape and become the shape I have always been, a hour glass.

Good blogging now a days most of fat male and female are losing their waits at a fast pace. I have observed there on free online dating sites that there are specially created category for fatty singles. If you are single and also looking for a free online dating services sites than you can try it and can ask from the other fat ppls how they loss their pounds of weight in weeks, so join free online dating site.

Looks like with my 36B-32-38 I’m a coronet. Still trying to reduce my middle and drop from a 12 dress size to a 10. But I do have great legs, so I guess you can’t have everything.
By: Kelli Ann on 23 February, 2010

To make it somewhat simple for some of you wondering (the pictures are difficult to gauge, I think) –
Hourglass: Bust & Hips will be the same or no more than an inch difference between them, waist will have at least a 10 inch difference than bust/hips. ex. 35-23-36
Rectangle – hips/bust about the same and waist not more than nine inches smaller. ex. 33-26-34
Pear – hips at least two inches bigger than bust and less than a nine inch difference between bust & waist. ex. 33-28-38
I admire the desire to create more shapes but, some of the photos here look very similar. And they give no data or measurements to go by as a rule of thumb. Hope what I post helps some of you!
By: Cindy on 27 April, 2010

That’s way too vague and not at all accurate. You’re not taking into account the fact that a smaller-framed/shorter woman may have a lesser ratio because of sheer size. You’re also not considering the fact that women in the hourglass/pear categories will accumulate weight on their thighs/butt first. The hourglass will gain more evenly, but her estrogen-dominated frame still favors the most weight gain in the lower half. So an hourglass may measure higher in the hips if she’s carrying even a bit of extra weight. True pears will have several inches’ difference between upper and lower, while the hourglass’s measurements won’t be different by more than a few inches.
The 12 body types are more specific breakdowns of the 4 true body shapes: Pear types = bell, pear, skittle. Hourglass types = vase, hourglass, cello. Ruler types = cornet, brick, column. Apple types = lollipop, apple, goblet.

I’m a little confused on what my body type is. I think I’m a cello though. I have broad shoulders but I do have hips and some type of butt. I’ve been told that I am very proportionate. Can anyone help me out? Does it sound like I’m a cello?
By: clarissa on 13 June, 2010
at 8:36 am
I do believe I am a vase because the smallest part of my waist is very close to my bust and so it appears that my hips begin high up on my waist.
I have the problem of jeans/pants falling down, or not resting comfortably on my hips. I’ve been told to wear higher waisted pants.
Am I completely off? I’m desperatly searching for an explination for my fashion dilemmas.

Hrmmm.. I might be a skittle
I have small breasts, small torso 25 in waist (basically look like a 10yrold up top).. Smallish hips but thick muscular legs and thighs and a big butt
By: Monica on 24 July, 2010
at 9:22 am
well a year ago I found a test that explained more in detail the characteristics of the body types, unfortunately they removed it, so I only know the celllo characteristics
Cellos are like the bastard child of a pear and a hourglass
Broad shoulders, big boobs, small and short waist cellos have broad shoulders and arms can be kind of big ( pears have slender arms and long waists) cellos have big thighs and bum But slim calves (pears have heavy calves too, and hourglass tend to have shapely well proportioned legs) I hope that is of some help for some cellos out there

most of these models are overweight so it’s difficult to see what shape they really are. Body types emerge more distinct when there isn’t a heavy layer of fat covering up the forms.

I’m not sure if I’m an hourglass or an apple. My shoulders are same length as my hips, maybe a bit narrower. Large breast, wide hips and rouned curvy bottom. My back is very small and I’ve got a small waist too. Despite my breast measuring is not equal to the measuring of my hips, I agree more with the description of the hourglass.

I’m pretty sure I’m a cello, but I definitely weigh less than the woman they show. 35-29-42 with either 34D or 32DD boobs, depending on the bra. They don’t look that big on my frame, but all the other descriptions of bottom-heavy shapes say “small boobs”. I think most women who are bottom heavy but not exactly tiny on top or in the middle are either cello- or skittle-shaped, and the two discerning factors are whether your waist is short (you can’t fit two palms flat between your boobs and the slimmest part of your waist – then you would be a cello, and otherwise a skittle) and whether your calves are thinner than the rest of your legs (cello) or undefined (skittle). Hope this helped!

I still can’t figure it out. I’m 5’3″. Average shoulders, small bust on a wide ribcage. Big tummy, big butt, big thighs. Little calves and ankles. Like a bell, apple, pear mix.
By: Diana on 26 February, 2012

oh and wide hips
By: Diana on 26 February, 2012

I figured it out. I went to :
http://www.shopyourshape.com/body-shapes/spoon-body-shape.html?delvars=%5Btype+Function%5D&_searchKey=227151&radioGroup2=%5Bobject+Object%5D
And took a quiz. The result was: Spoon
As a Spoon Body type (sometimes called figure 8), your hips are larger than your bust and you have a defined waist. Your hips have a “shelf” appearance, you are prone to gaining weight in your tummy and have a tendency towards love-handles. While you may gain weight in your upper thighs and upper arms, your lower legs and arms are shapely and your best assets.
How to Dress a Spoon Body Shape
The key to dressing a Spoon body type is to draw attention to your upper body while deemphasizing your tummy and hips to create a more balanced appearance and create the illusion of an hourglass figure. Your legs are one of your best asset, so feel free to play with skirt lengths and show them off! To create the most curvaceous effect mix and match our suggested separates.

Honestly By how the models look I would put me in the hourglass section but I have never considered myself that. I am a bigger girl and though I am working on my waist line through belly dance I just naturally have a slightly bigger waist. I am 49 38 46. (I am a 42 DDD). I carry my weight equally throughout my body though and I do have broader shoulders but they are square and I have beautiful collar bones. (I am a literal definition of a big boned women with a size 8.5 ring size when I am thin and size 10 to 10.5 in men’s shoes and despite the fact that I am still a bit chubby right now even when I lost weight I was still a 44 34 41). i have somewhat shapely ankles and wrists and shoulders and collar bones as I said before and slightly longer arms than I should have. My legs are a big chunky as well. Not like too bad but just a bit because as I said I carry my weight equally.

To those who are confused, I can see why! The 12 body shapes described here are actually offshoots of the 4 true body shapes, which are Pear, Hourglass, Ruler and Apple. They’re simply variations of each type that are the most commonly seen on women:
The PEARS are as follows: bell, pear, skittle.
The HOURGLASS types consist of: vase, hourglass, cello.
The RULERS: column, cornet, brick.
The APPLES: goblet, lollipop, apple.
There are certain typical characteristics that determine each type.
PEAR: narrow shoulders/back/ribcage. Big hips/bum/legs. Slender arms. Small or medium breasts. Small waist. Pears often must wear 2 different sizes from top to bottom. Most or all weight gain on lower body. Bust measurements typically several inches smaller than hips measurement.
HOURGLASS: shoulders/bust measurement within a few inches of hips/bum measurement. Waist tapered. Breasts medium to full. Shoulders typically broad. Curvy thighs, bum. Weight gain is evenly distributed or slightly favors lower body.
APPLE: torso is full. Ribcage, breasts typically full. No/slight waist definition. Small bum. Narrow shoulders and hips compared to midsection. Weight gain typically occurs in the midriff, while arms and especially legs remain proportionally slim. The “goblet” is actually a different subtype known as the inverted triangle. Unlike the other apple types, goblets have broad shoulders and gain weight in the arms as well as the torso.
RULER: like the hourglass, upper and lower measurements are within a few inches, but there is little to no waist definition or curves. Shoulders are usually broad and well-defined. Weight gain is evenly distributed.
Typically, pears are shorter and heavier in the legs, with the exception of the bell. Skittles are less-pronounced pears and lean a bit towards the hourglass type. Bells are dramatically smaller on top, typically with sloped shoulders. Pears carry the most typical traits of the pear group. Typical pear measurements would be, as an example: 33-27-40.
Hourglass types tend to have higher waists and medium-length legs. They are usually squared in the shoulders and are prone to gaining weight in the belly and thighs, although their overall weight is generally evenly-distributed. Vases are somewhat stretched-out, slender hourglass types while cellos are the opposite. Typical measurements would be, for example: 37-27-38.
Apple types carry more weight in the midsection and are normally the most “chesty” of the bunch. Note that lollipops exhibit all traits of the apple but are longer-framed. Goblets are athletic-looking with larger upper bodies and thin lower bodies. Apples usually possess medium-length or long legs and arms.
Typical measurements would be, say: 40-32-36.
Ruler types normally are straight up and down. Bricks typically are more stocky and short in the legs, while cornets and columns are typically long-limbed and flat-chested. Columns are just taller versions of cornets. Typical measurements would be something like this, for example: 34-28-34.
Ok, that was a long post but I hope it helps break things down a bit! And remember, you can be a variation of a couple of types. Most importantly is that all body shapes have good qualities that should be admired!

Spot on with this write-up, I honestly feel this site needs much more attention. I’ll probably be back again to see more, thanks for the advice!

I have no idea what I am. It’s too hard to tell because all the bodies look totally different.
I have big boobs, big back, small shoulders, no hips, a small bum and my legs are long but not all crazy Bambi long.
WHAT ON EARTH AM I?

The new EP Pure Wet is a masterclass in experimental baselines
and echoey, breathy vocals all underpinned by varying funk and
R&B-based rhythms. I know a lot more music now than before and have changed
my tastes. I would recommend having a Mimosa out on the patio overlooking
the waterway.
