Quick answer

Your body shape is worked out by comparing bust, waist and hip measurements. Roughly equal bust and hips with a waist at least 9 inches smaller is an hourglass; hips 3.6 inches or more wider than the bust is a pear; bust wider than hips is an inverted triangle; little waist definition is a rectangle; and a waist close to or wider than the bust and hips is an apple.

How to measure

Bust: measure around the fullest part of your bust.
Waist: measure around the narrowest part of your torso.
Hip: measure around the widest part of your hips and seat.
