Body type?
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?

Why worry about what body type you have? We're all so different and we change as we age. You might have been a very slender child, but now you're a girl, with the dreaded "baby fat" who will change into a woman who goes through stages. Embrace each of those changes, love who you are not what you look like. And puhleeeeze, don't compare yourself to women in magazines who have been digitally altered and airbrushed !! Eat right and exercise and please yourself first and foremost.

You sound like a pear shape. Just imagine a apple, it's big all the way around so that wouldnt be you. A hour glass, big at the top super thin in the middle and big again at the bottom again, that wouldnt be you as you said your chest is in porportion to your body and u has just a bit of a belly. A pear is average/ at the top, slimd down in the middle and is a bit bigger at the end, as you said large things and a rump~shaker. ok so there ya go...

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

You sound like a pear shape body. You know i see those to all the time in magezines and i am like what category do i go into? Truth is not every girl belongs to a category like that. So i wouldn't pay to much mind to it. Pear body shape is when the lower half of your body is bigger. Just like a pear.
Hope I helped

Well its hard to say. I believe that hourglass usually refers to the "ideal" female shape (lol if there is such a thing). Pear shape is when your bottom end is disproportionately big. Apple shape I think only applies to plump guys (but you get the idea... its being kinda round).
Its all a question of proportions. I dont think you fit perfectly into any of these categories. Certainly you dont sound pear or apple shaped. So, by process of elimination, I guess the closest would be hourglass.
