The female body shape falls under five main groups. Your shape of body has nothing to do with the size of your body, per se.

Body shape classification is more concerned with the ratio of certain parts of your body to other parts.
Bear in mind that this body shape groups are not cast in stone. You may find that your shape falls into more than one group.
Moving on, here are the five main body shape groups

Hourglass
Pear
Straight
Apple
Wedge

Hourglass or Figure-Eight: This is said to be the balanced body shape.

You're an hourglass if:

Your waist is 8 to 10 inches narrower than your bust and hips
Your shoulders and hips are about the same width
You have a small waist

Examples of hourglass body shapes


To showcase your balanced hourglass-shaped figure,
Wear slim belts around your waist
Wear skirts and dresses that fall just below the knee or knee-length.

In the next post, I'll be talking about the Pear Bodyshape.

You're a pear if:

You have a slim upper body with a smallish bust
