I think it wasn’t until my 50s that I really analyzed, and began shopping for, my body shape, it makes a huge difference in how flattering my outfits look on me. The earlier you can do this, the better your wardrobe choices will become.
So true Kimberly! Thanks for sharing your experience ♥
Oh makes sense .
I'm 56 now and starts intrest now 😊. But much that jag like'd to wear they say suit's my body. I wounder about my color also now. I'm not sure.
I’m glad that you touched upon that there are different nuances of each body shape, so that has to be taken into consideration when dressing for their body shape. For example, Katie Holmes and Halle Berry are both triangles, but Katie is the classic “pear” where she has larger hips, while Halle doesn’t have larger hips but she has larger thighs. I’n also glad that you touched upon that not all apple body types are plus-sized. There are apples that are “slim” as well as mid-sized.
Thanks so much for your comment Jennifer!
This is amazing! I think I am apple shaped but I might be a bit of a mix. It’s helpful to see celebrities who are the same type with different heights and sizes.
Thanks Kellie! I'm so glad this was helpful 🙂
Great video….very informative! You helped me confirm that I am an inverted triangle (carrot) shape…..I always assumed i was more apple shaped…..but, I think that was more due to having children without exercise. Now that I am exercising, my proportions are very defined. I look forward to a body shape specific video in the future.
Thanks Christy! I'm glad it was helpful.
Such a great video! Amazing 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thanks Caroline! 😊
Very good information! ❤
Thanks Suravi! Glad it's helpful.
Very interesting and informative. Thank you. I’m a inverted v didn’t know that. Cool
I'm glad this was helpful Michelle and that now you know your body type.
I’m between an hourglass and a rectangle. My waist is 2 inches larger with than it should be for a perfect waist:hip ratio. But this is because my frame is short/petite, very narrow and delicate, and I’m just too short-waisted to have a big indent at the waist. My ribs sit right on my hipbones, there’s just not enough vertical space for narrowing between them. I used to obsess on my “too narrow” hips and shoulders and “bigger waist”, but not anymore, I’ve just learned to style my shape better.
Thanks for your comment Kimberly!
Looking forward to your up coming videos on how to dress your body type. I’m a rectangle shape
Thanks for your comment Laura!
Thank you so much! 🥰 you've explained this so well. I was trying to figure out what shape am I. I was between the boyish and hourglass now I know that I'm an hourglass shape, because my shoulders are broad, and my bust and hips are the same proportion and my waist is not too small .
You're welcome Lisa! ❤
Wow. Your careful and professional explanation helped me finally understand my body shape -- a classic triangle. Thank you so much.
You are welcome Karole ❤
Great video! Do you have any celebrity recommendation of more heavy set rectangular shape? Bust is 36 etc.
Thanks Stephanie! Oprah, Amy Schumer, Octavia Spencer, and Queen Latifah are considered rectangle shapes by many. But some consider them more apple or hourglass shapes. In reality, they may be somewhere in the middle.
Hey Erica, great video I really enjoyed this! It was so educational & insightful. I now have a better idea of what my body type now is, I’m leaning towards both pear-shaped and rectangular almost but my measurements would help me clarify. Thank you! Keep it up!
Thanks so much! 😊
Love this content. I’m a rectangle with slightly broader shoulders. It’s a struggle. 😅
Thanks Jessica! Stay tuned for a video featuring how to dress the rectangle body shape. 😊
@@EricaBallStyle actually I measured myself and I am an inverted triangle (shoulders 2 inches wider than hips) Now I understand why I am so hard to shop for. Your tips are really amazing.
@@jesswnukow Hopefully knowing your body shape will make it easier to shop now Jessica! I'm glad this has been helpful 😊
very helpful! I've always thought I was an apple but recently someone told me I was a pear. But my butt is flat and my middle is full. That HAS to be an apple. Describing how the body changes as you get older/gain weight has helped me determine I am an apple. THANKYOU!
You're welcome Rhona! I'm glad this was helpful for you ❤
This was really informative…..I’ve always wondered what my shape is….I think I was a pear in my younger years….but now I’ve become an hourglass….my top and bottom sizes are the same and my waist is half an inch smaller than what you described but my chest is not big….as I do weight train the fullness has left….I do enjoy dressing myself though! Lol.
Thanks for your comment Carolyn! I def have experienced women's body shapes changing or leaning towards a different shape as they get older. If you're not curvy on the top or bottom you may be more of a rectangle shape. But if you do have curves with a smaller waist then you are most likely an hourglass. 😊
I’m definitely pear. I’ve lost 80lbs, and am still a pear. When I was heavier I was closer to an hourglass, but most of the weight came off of my torso, shoulders etc. I lose weight from the top down, and the top of the thighs/hips are much wider than my shoulders now.
I would think most pre-menopausal women would be pears, with numbers shifting to apple and straight after menopause. Good to know! I enjoyed your video.
Thanks Natalie!
This was what's very nice. I have not finished watching the video, but I know I am a rectangle shaped lady.
I'm glad it helped you know your shape Zelda! 😊
@@EricaBallStyle Have a blessed evening.
@@ZeldaSews ❤❤❤
I'm top heavy and my mid section is also heavy
It's hard to say without your measurements or seeing you but if your hips are slimmer then you may be an apple shape.
New to your channel.
I am still confused to what I am. How can I figure this out? Do I measure shoulders, bust, wait and hips ? If I send you a picture would you be able to tell me?
Hi Cindy welcome to my channel! It can definitely be confusing to figure out your shape.
Use a tape measure and measure your shoulders, bust, waist, and hips.
An inverted triangle's largest measurement will be their shoulders; generally, the bust, waist, and hips are on the smaller side.
A rectangle shape has very close bust, waist, and hip measurements.
An hourglass has a very close bust and hip measurements and a relatively smaller waist.
A pear's largest measurement is their hips and generally has a smaller bust and waist.
An apple typically has a larger bust which is close to size as your waist while shoulders are wider than your hips.
Hope this helps! ❤

Erica my shoulders 37, bust, 36, waist 30, hips 37. I have a bit of a muffin top. Love your videos. K
Thanks Kitty! Sounds like you are an hourglass shape. This video gives styling tips for the hourglass 👉 th-cam.com/video/-UPW2SbzbX0/w-d-xo.html

Thank you so much, k
@@kittyoreilly3104 ❤
My measurement are almost the same. Shoulders 37, bust 35, waist 27 and hips 35.
@@lisafrancis8468 Because your bust and hips are the same size and your waist is more than 2 inches smaller, it sounds like you are an hourglass Lisa. You can watch this video on the hourglass shape and see if it resonates th-cam.com/video/-UPW2SbzbX0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Pb9wVz76omC0jYm5
Hi! I've been trying to figure out my body type for a while since I'm trying to switch up my style. I keep going back and forth between inverted triangle and rectangle, but I'm not sure.
Shoulders 37.5 in.
Bust 32 in.
Waist 28.5 in.
Hips 35.5 in.
Hi Syria! Not to confuse you more, but I'm wondering if you are more of a pear shape? Do you tend to need a bigger size on the bottom than on the top? Inverted triangles generally have small hips in comparison to their shoulders. And rectangle shapes have very similar measurements between their bust, waist, and hips.
@@EricaBallStyleYes! My lower body is bigger than my upper body, and I sometimes have to find pants that fight just right. I can see myself being more of a pear since I have fuller hips and thighs compared to my bust and shoulders.
@@syria0110 This video is all about a pear shape. See if it resonates with you th-cam.com/video/DpNo9pZoeEc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=2f8SOOKRhGizQkGO
I believe I am a rectangle. 34” bust, 26” waist and 34”hips? My shoulders are bigger than hips.
Hourglass🙂
It sounds like you may be more of an hourglass Beverly. Unless you aren't curvy at all.
I used to be a perfect hourglass, and it was so easy to dress. Now, at 73, I’m more of a barrel which isn’t so easy to dress.
As we get older and our bodies change, it can def make it harder to dress and feel great in our clothes. Working with a Personal Stylist can help you find clothes and ways to style items for your current shape.
I was an inverted triangle but as I've gotten older, more of a rectangle. I am looking forward to how you style these body type videos. Not to be negative but...there's nothing real about KK's shape.
Thanks for your comment Christine! Women can definitely "change" their natural shape with surgery. I hope we can encourage women to love whatever shape they have instead of trying to fit into some idealized image of a body shape.
She looks like a clown
I am an older hourglass. I struggle to find women my age to use as inspiration. Any ideas for 70 + hourglass celebrities?
Hi Jennifer! Helen Mirren is a gorgeous hourglass with great style. And Sophia Loren as well. Raquel Welch as well but she sadly passed away earlier this year. There are many images of her style over the years that I think you will find inspiration from.
@@EricaBallStyle sad, I didn’t know Raquel Welch died. In addition to her bombshell figure, she was very beautiful.
@@kimberlyperrotis8962 I know it was really sad. It wasn't really in the media at all.
I always thought I was a pear because I have a smaller bust (4" smaller than my shoulders and hips). But my shoulders and hips are the same width and I'm about 20% smaller at my natural waist. However I gain weight in my tummy. 😅🤷🏻♀️
It sounds like you may be a pear. An easy way to know is if you wear a size larger in your bottoms than your tops.
@@EricaBallStyle yup, sure do. Thanks for clarifying. 😊💕
@@vasgarcia Anytime! ❤
Your comments are very interesting. A lot of models have a 25% smaller waist than their bust & hips. Sorry but Gigi is an hour-glass not a rectangle. Weight really does need to be considered here. It's easier to see well-defined proportions on a bigger women than Slim. Most of the women you described as hour-glass are bigger, whereas all the rectangles women are slimmer.
Gigi is definitely not an hourglass. If anything, depending on the photo, she appears to be an rectangle/inverted triangle
Hi i hope you can help me find my body shape
my shoulders are 36.5
My bust is 39
My waist is 32.5
My hips are 36.5
Based on just your measurements, I'd say you are an inverted triangle. Watch this video to see if it rings true for you 👉th-cam.com/video/yMCNQ9I7KOc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=UK91JAAQli1RaO7G
@@EricaBallStyle thank you 😊

(I m 6 month postpartum and still have a tummy😢)
What am I? Can someones please help me?
I m struggling with my new body after having kids. Please help 🙏
I'm sorry you're struggling with your new body after having kids. I think it can take a year for your body to stabilize after birth. It sounds like you may be a pear shape that veers towards an hourglass. Were you more of an hourglass before having kids?
See I’m wider at the shoulders but my hips are significantly wider than my waist and bust as a matter of fact I have a larger bum so a lot of the styles for inverted triangle aren’t flattering…
Are you a pear or hourglass shape Jan?
Wow, I would have guessed Beyoncé was hourglass. Interesting! 🧐
She can def appear to be an hourglass. Her stylist does some amazing styling tweaks with her outfits to make her appear more that way. I'll be talking about this more in my upcoming videos where I'm sharing how to style each of these types.
@@EricaBallStyle thank you! By the way, I think I am an apple shape. Looking forward to your tips and if I'm doing anything correctly. 😅
@@alamedadanceparty You're welcome!
LOL, I'm an inverted triangle-rectangle-pear. My shoulders are the widest but it doesn't look like it. I have a butt. I am petite & 113 lbs (5'3"). I cannot for the life of me figure out my real "type."
It canbe confusing Mary! If you have curves then you can rule out a rectangle shape. Inverted triangles generally have more narrow hips and a smaller backside. If your bust is on the smaller side and you find that your tops are a smaller size than your bottoms then you may be a pear shape. Hope that helps!
Im 4/10 what does that mean, being honest because I don't no,😊😂
I don't think I understand what 4/10 means 🤔 Let me know so I can help you figure out your type Sarah!
@EricaBallStyle oh sorry I forgot to my Clare, I'm 4feet 10ich,
@@SarahJacobs-nb3lw Ok that makes sense. Any of the body types can be on the shorter or taller side. Height is not really a factor. Think about your shoulder/bust, waist, and hip measurements in proportion to each other to determine your body shape. Hope that helps!
@@EricaBallStyle thanks 😊 🙏
@@SarahJacobs-nb3lw You're welcome Sarah ♥
Most clothes are cut to the outdated formula of the bust and hips being exactly equal and the waist 12 inches smaller. There are very few, if any, real women with these exact proportions, so essentially the clothes fit almost no one well. Every single garment I’ve bought in the last 50 years is too big in the shoulders and hips, often ridiculously so. This is why I don’t wear stiff-fabric trousers like jeans, they look ridiculous sticking out in empty flaps at my hips. With their flat-felled seams, taking in the hips is not an alteration I want to bother with, it’s rarely successful. Blazers, too. This oversized blazer trend is awful, why doesn’t it go away? I won’t buy one, ever.
There are very few women that can buy off the rack and have clothes fit them perfectly. That's why a great tailor is key. I'm with you on the oversized blazer trend. Clothes look better on the body when they fit.
Alot of these models and Hollywood beautiful women are men
