I'm a pear or a skittle. Everything is on the side of my thighs and hips. I have B cup boobs and very nice arms, collarbone etc.. Below my navel and above my calves is just.. Blah..

Only 8%? Wow. I'm a classic hourglass, tiny waist, big boobs big hips generally withing 3" of one another. I gain weight all over and lose it all over, big hands feet arms legs etc.

ok, so I'm a pear. I already figured bc my butt is, ahem, large. my only question is, how am I supposed to dress? They say a pear should show off her arms and shoulders. I have very broad shoulders (not a bad thing, theyre nice) and big arms. I mean like cellulite arms. I'm working on them and have been for a while (theyre alot smaller than they were), but I'm definately not comfy exposing them in public other than on jogs and that's just to keep myself from dying in this TX heat! lol

My mother-in-law is a pear too. I would say wear something a little more fitter, not tight but fitted. If you wear something with no shape, it will make you look bigger no matter what your weight is IMO.

I'm an apple. I store all my fat on my stomach while I have skinny legs and a small butt. But I do have big boobs.

I'm a pear and I typically like to wear darker, fitted but not tight clothing on my lower body and brighter colors and jewelry on my upper body. The key is to move the eye up to my face, chest and upper stomach.

Skirts are hard because they pretty much have to be knee length pencil skirts to work. If I wear a skirt that's looser or longer, it seems to hang from my hips and make me look huge.

I'm always in love with those patterned shorts or pants that are popular, but they would look terrible on me. Also, shirts that are blousier in the stomach area look bad on me because they hide my waist and slimmer upper body making me look like all of me is big. I really like the ruffly shirts, but have to find ones that show my upper body shape.

Also, I like to wear heels because they make me feel like my posture changes and is more flattering for my hips and lower stomach.

The more I read about you pears, the less I think the description fits me. I am bigger on the bottom than top, but not that substantially. And I just don't have that smallness on top that I associate with pears. I thought maybe I just had the wrong idea of what a pear is, but when I read what self-identified pears say, I think I was dead-on.

id say im a pear:dizzy:

my measurements are 38-31-43 ..... im like a hourglass mixed with a pear!
pearglass ! HA!

I'm not sure a pear/skittle? What is it called when you have: HUGE thighs, larger calves, thinner stomach, little boobs, and slightly thick upper arms?

My shape is straight.

According to this:

I am an hourglass. I don't have very big boobs though (34B on a good day), and I don't think I look like an hourglass anymore. I used to, but then I lost my boobs :( I don't know what kind of bodyshape I have, even when I look at photos. I always used to think pear, but maybe not.

I also gain like an apple (most of my weight goes right to my stomach!) but as I'm losing, my body is changing shape. I'm more pear, or going by the link April posted, a bell.

this was a link on what claire0412 posted, but it relates back to the thing I posted which is from Trinny and Susannah on the UK version of What Not to Wear.

It's quick quiz to see which one of their shapes you fall into, no measurements needed!

I came out to be a goblet, same as what I had indentified when I looked at the ones in the article I linked to yesterday.

Im like a slight hourglass lol. Small breast, small hips but ppl think they arent. I am kind of a straight hourglass lol. Depends on what Im wearing or my weight.
