Find your body shape — hourglass, pear, inverted triangle, apple, or rectangle — from your bust, waist, and hip measurements. Enter the three measurements to see your shape and how defined your waist is.

Formula

Body shape is determined by comparing bust, waist, and hip measurements: • Hourglass: bust ≈ hips AND waist ≥ 25 cm smaller than both • Pear: hips > bust by >5 cm AND waist well below hips • Inverted Triangle: bust > hips by >5 cm AND defined waist • Apple: waist close to bust or hips • Rectangle: all three measurements roughly similar
  • Your shape is classified by comparing bust, waist, and hip measurements.
  • Hourglass: bust and hips are close in size, with a waist at least 25 cm smaller than both.
  • Pear (triangle): hips are clearly wider than the bust with a well-defined waist.
  • Inverted triangle: the bust is noticeably wider than the hips. Apple: the waist is close in size to bust or hips. Rectangle: all three are similar.
  • This is a styling and fit guide, not a health measure — it describes proportions, not body fat.

Bust 90, waist 70, hips 95 cm

Inputs
  • Bust / Chest: 90 cm
  • Waist: 70 cm
  • Hips: 95 cm

Hips slightly exceed the bust with a defined waist, giving a balanced pear-leaning shape with clear waist narrowing.
