Measurements?
 

For some reason these measurements seem really weird to me.
Does anyone else have similar ones or am I doing it wrong?
I've never really taken my own measurements before.

Bust: 50 inches
Waist: 42 inches
Hips: 48 inches
Arms: 17 inches
Thighs: 28 inches

Oh and I'm 5'4" at 242 lbs.

You seem pretty normal to me, nice hour glass shape. I'm more of a pear shape but here are mine if you wanna get an idea. Everyone is different.

I'm 5'3" 205lbs

My measurements as of today:
Neck: 14
Bicep: 13.5
Forearm: 10
Chest: 40
Waist: 33
Hips: 45
Thigh: 26.5
Calf: 16.5

Your measurements seem pretty normal to me. You seem to fall more in the rectangle body type. Here is a calculator that'll tell you your body type.

Hourglass
A woman with an hourglass shape is equally balanced on top and bottom; that is, her bust measurement and hip measurement are about the same. Another characteristic of this figure type is a defined waistline. When a women has an hourglass figure, the difference between the bust and/or hip measurement and the waist measurement is usually ten inches or more.

Considered the ideal figure type, the hourglass shape is the figure type to keep in mind when considering clothing options. When you create the illusion of an hourglass shape if you have one of the other figure types, you'll also succeed in emphasizing the areas you want to emphasize and de-emphasizing the others.

Triangle
Women who have triangle-shaped figures have proportionally smaller busts and/or narrower shoulders and larger hips and/or thighs when compared to women who have hourglass figures. Also known as a pear-shaped figure, the triangle-shaped figure is the most common figure type for women.

Dressing for a triangle-shaped figure means selecting clothing that draws attention to the bust, creates a defined waistline, and minimizes hips and thighs.

Inverted Triangle
A woman who has an inverted triangle-shaped figure has proportionally smaller hips and/or thighs and larger bust and/or wider shoulders when compared to a woman who has an hourglass figure. The inverted triangle is not a common figure type; however, with the popularity of bust enhancement by plastic surgery, it's becoming more common.

Dressing for an inverted triangle-shaped figure means selecting clothing that minimizes the bust and creates a defined waistline. Otherwise, a woman who has this figure type may look too top-heavy.

Rectangle
Women who have rectangle figures have relatively equal bust and hip measurements, just as a woman who has an hourglass shape does. However, a woman with a rectangle-shaped figure doesn't have a defined waistline. There's little difference in waist measurement when compared to bust and/or hip measurements, so the rectangle shape is more or less straight up and down. A variation of this shape is sometimes called an apple when the waist measurement is larger than the bust and/or hip measurement.

The major challenge for women who have a rectangle shape is to create the illusion of a defined waistline, which will make them look more like they have an hourglass shape.

it said "sorry your body is not in the four shape sizes we calculate" for me. lol.

oh wait if i change my hip measurment by one inch it give me hourglass :)

Lol, I got that too. I fall in between pear and hourglass so I guess that confused them.

I got banana. O_o

i'm an inverted triangle what a joke!!! :(((

Those measurements sound right to me~!

Lol, huh.. I'm not a banana!
My measurements are 42-31-42
11 inch difference.. proportion is ~.74 which last time I checked is hourglass?
But the website keeps saying banana! that's not right... the last thing I've heard people describe my shape as is banana/straight..
--
Hmm.. if I keep the proportion but go down in inches, it says hourglass. So I guess this site doesn't recognize fuller hourglasses..

Doesn't seem very accurate to me . . . Like Starrynight said, there's a formula for determining hourglass (which I fall under). This site called me a straight or banana at 39-29-39!!

Wow, that is odd, maybe it's not so good of a calculator.

lulz. i'm a straight up banana.

thanks girls!

heh, it recognised my pearness alright :D

but then I'm 34 - 25 - 39 so it's kinda hard to mistake.... thems some BIG hips in comparison :P

Hahaha, this site is insane. It called me a banana and I'm 35-29-36. I am literally shaped like a pear, no one would EVER call my figure "straight" or "banana."
