How To Discover Your Body Shape

I think that I'm a rectangle. Shoulders are about 2 inches larger than my bust but the rest of the measurements are in line with rectangle. So happy to be a part of this community. Marie-Anne, I love your videos. Thank you!

I’m either a rectangle or an inverted pyramid. In the mirror, my hips looks slightly narrower than my shoulders. But, it is very close!

My shoulders are 4 inches larger than my hips. Is that significant enough for inverted triangle? Yet my waist is 25 % smaller than my shoulders but 20% smaller than my hips. Am I an inverted triangle or an hour glass? Thanks so much!

Hour glass! Love you! Marie Anne

Plus sized rectangle.

Rectangle

I am an apple, short (155cm), elderly (76) and I sew my own clothes because very few stores stock clothes that fit and flatter.

I needed to get 49 years and watch your Video to recognise that I have not a pear- but an hourglass-shape... thanks a lot, Marie-Anne! 😘

Narrow shoulders, large bust, no real waist, large hips - hippopotamus-shaped?!

I’m an hourglass pear! I think …

I used to be hourglass. Now I'm a rectangle apple. Depends on the time of the month. 😊

if you are measuring- you are wearing your bra that lifts I'm assuming?

Im more of a butternut squash than a pear....(lol)

Can you help me determine if I am an hourglass or rectangle? My measurements are: Shoulders 42", Bust 41", Stomach 34", Hips 43".

Merci Marrie-Anne. My shoulders are almost same size as my hips but my bust is smaller. And I have a slim waisr. What then is my shape? Hourglass ir pear?

Hello hello 🌹 what if bust 89cm, waist 60 cm and hip 93 cm? I think i have triangle shape because i have thin legs.

Thank you!

Pear

Yes

I use to be a rectangle, but now at 70 years young and being 30 lbs overweight…I am more apple

The narrowest part of my torso is NOT my waist. I would call myself apple-shaped if I am being polite, pregnant-shaped if I am being more direct. In looking into the mirror, my apple is all out front, not much to the sides. My waist is 43" and right under my bust, the narrowest part of my torso, is 40". That's a really large difference. This also results in my waist and my bust being about the same measurement. I was an hourglass until I was well into my 40s. It is a known thing that some hourglass shapes become apples when they get fat. That's me.

Im def a regtangle. But pretty happy with it!

View of the front, I thought I was slightly hourglass. I believe my measurements are rectangular (40/40/38/43). I will be following you with much interest to see how I can maximize the good while minimizing the not so good. I am 75 yo, with two adult daughters.

Yes

Yes

Hourglass

I am an Apple but with wide hips and shoulders but am very short because I have Down Syndrome

I am a full hour glass I think. My shoulders are 104 cms, bust 109 cms waist 94 cms and hips 114 cms. Would people agree?

Thank you for the complimentary body shape class.

I am a rectangle, with my shoulders and chest a bit wider but only about 2.5% wider so I'm still a rectangle. (42/38/33/39) I am also 6'0 tall with very long limbs, so I often am challenged finding longer sleeves and inseams.

I believe I need to focus on accentuating my waist but also be a bit mindful of not calling too much attention to my shoulders so I may need to avoid boatneck necklines and anything that will make my shoulders stand out. I have a super wide ribcage but a very small bust (38A)

In the 80's everything had shoulder pads and I was a lot thinner back then but they never worked for me anyway!

I'm not so sure what I am. Shoulder and Bust are 41 and Hips is 45 so that would make me a pear? Plus with child-birth I have a tummy.

Thank you, this helped to confirm I am a pear. I thought like Annie who commented below, maybe I am a combination so on a piece of paper I put two dots apart for my shoulders, then below two more dots in slightly for my bust, then two more slightly in more for my waist, then two wider than my first set for my hips. That really showed I'm a pear!

Im 37.5 in my shoulders
40 for my bust
33 for my waist
And 37.5 for my hips
What does this make me ?

I am a rectangle. Really enjoy your videos!

Marie-Anne, I know I am a rectangle but I also have a problem with being long waisted with very sort legs. Any help for me? Do you have a course that addresses this issue? I am looking through all your courses and have joined the course website.

I’ve been watching a lot of your videos, and I love them. I’ve always thought I was a pear, but after reflecting on what I’ve learned from your videos, I might be some kind of combination. My hips are wide, but my shoulders are fairly broad, too. I’ve never thought of myself as busty, but I guess I’m a tad larger than average. I do have a waist, but it’s short. And my belly is starting to resemble an apple. I guess it’s time to break out the tape measure! 😄

Yes

Definitely a pear

Thank you so much, now I know that I’m a rectangle👍👍👍

Yes

Thanks Marie-Anne at 69, I finally know my shape. I was an hourglass when younger but am now a rectangle with a long torso

38.5/38/28/38.5 making me an hourglass. Just confirming what I thought although the hourglass of my youth was 35/25/35, oh well I am in my 50s so I guess there has to be some change.

Shoulder 37, bust 34, waist 27, hips 37...my shoulder and hips are same length and waist is quite defined..but I have smaller bust line.. I'm confused am I hourglass or pear.. I'm petite 5'2.5 as well.

So I am 39-39.5-31.5-39.5 is that a rectangle? I guess I’m not 25% less in the waist. My legs are not thin, but not really big either, more medium. I’m 5’7”, and have long legs but a short waist.

I am mix of rectangle, apple short waisted busted 5 ft 5 inches with 41 shoulder, 40 bust, 32 waist and 40 hips. Measurements actually suggests I am an inverted triangle? Am I right??

❤️Muchas gracias!! Now I know I'm an Inverted Triangle body shape.

I'm an hourglass! I've been hidden under the fifty pounds I have lost in the last seven months! My hip bones are wider since having babies but there is definitely some definition there at last! still I have fifty pounds to lose.
So, at 64 I say it's never too late! thank you. Jayne.

Wow, I always thought I was an apple... or maybe an inverted triangle... I just can't believe how off my perceptions were. Turns out my shoulders are almost down the millimetre the same size as my hips.. I have no idea why for years I thought I was "broad shouldered." I also had a completely wrong perception of my waist, which is not apple at all. Huh. I'm glad you asked us to take measurements because I had to re-do them 3x before I could believe what they were saying: I'm a rectangle!

Helpful! I found out that my wide shoulders make me an inverted triangle. Not a stick of celery. A problem is that to get sleeves long enough and shoulders that are wide enough to fit, the chest and torso are often too big on shirts, dresses, and blazers. I’m on the thin side. The ones that fit are treasures to keep. I have classics from 50 years ago that I still wear. Thank you.

shoulders 43, bust 42, waist 40, hips, 45 (in inches) je pense que je suis une rectangle.

apple plus inverted triangle...big breasts are the most prominent, broad shoulders next, and of course, my tummy
