I'm confused. There are all these different terms for various body types: pear shape, hourglass, apple shape... I don't know what type I am! Explanations on the internet are often vague -- do these generalisations apply to all women? I'm not sure where I fit in.
Let's see, if it helps... I'm 164cm, 52kg, with a well-proportioned chest (relative to my body), fairly narrow waist, large thighs and hips (but otherwise slender limbs, e.g. arms), just a bit of belly, and... umm, a well-rounded backside. Does anybody know what body type I am? (link)

hourglass, i'd say: out at the chest, in at the waist, out at the hips and bum. A "true" hourglass figure would have the chest and hip measurements exactly the same coupled with a small waist.
pear-shaped is someone who's hips and bum and quite abit larger than their chest (so if you were to measure chest, waist and hips you might get something like 34:26:42
apple is someone who doesn't really have a tapered waist and is generally quite round in the stomach area, so their measurements might all be fairly similar
you can also get top-heavy- large chest, slender thighs and hips and boyish- lacking curves in any area and slim.
Hope that helps a bit
