      Perception is reality so if others have always called you short waisted even though you actually are not, then it must be something in how you dress that gives a short waisted appearance. Hopefully some of Erin's advice can help you identify the cause.

      @@marleenvu8365 It's more about what fits you best, and what gives you the most appealing overall appearance. If you are short-waisted wearing high-rise, you will appear more "frumpy", but the same garment in a mid or low-rise results a more fitted appearance. And none of it says a thing about you as an individual. The information is about making the most of what you have!

    everyone who is totally freaking out, saying “why is everyone and hourglass, now?”- it’s okay! simply judging by the profile pictures or names (as in names like Hellokitty345) most of these people are under 18 or even under 13! your body isn’t fully developed when you are under 18, they may not be a natural hourglass. when you hit puberty your body usually changes, these people could possibly not even have hit puberty- don’t stress because you don’t feel like you fit in, YOU ARE PERFRCT!

    My measurements say I'm an hourglass, but the mirror says I'm rectangle. That because my curves can only be seen on the side. I have no hips, but I do have a bum on the back. Also my bust is the biggest of all the measurements. Just a weird mixture of things.

    I actually like formulas! Here they are as you laid them out:
    Inverted triangle: Shoulders = hips + 2 or more inches OR Bust= hips + 4 or more inches.
    Triangle: hips = shoulders + 2 or more inches OR hips = bust + 4 or more inches. (Fun sidenote: triangle is the MOST COMMON BODY TYPE AMONG WOMEN.)
    Circle: waist is greater than shoulder, bust, or hip by 2 or more inches.
    Rectangle: Shoulders, bust, waist and hips are *essentially* the same size. Specifically, the waist is NOT 8 inches smaller than any of the other measurements.
    Hourglass: Shoulders, bust, and hips are *essentially* the same size and the waist is 8 inches smaller than any of the other measurements.
    --Tall, petite (5'4" or shorter), and plus sizes have no impact on these body shapes.--
    Long or short waisted: place hands stacked below center of your bust.
    If the bottom hand covers your belly button, you're short waisted.
    If the bottom hand reaches but doesn't cover your belly button, you're considered proportionate.
    If there's space from the bottom hand to your belly button, you're long waisted.

      That's where shape comes in. I've known people who have to size up because their hips are bigger than their waist measurement, or their bust doesn't fit their waist size. I usually have to size up in flannel shirts since my shoulders are wider than most women my size. With stretchy things, I can fit a smaller size shirt since my bust isn't that large, but I usually size up when things have long sleeves or more structure like a coat. It all varies.

      Turns out I'm short waisted, though I'm tall. I always thought I was long waisted because of always having issues trying to buy one-piece swimsuits that don't give me a wedgie! But I now think that's because I'm tall overall. Yikes, lots of complications!

    What am I?
    I have small breasts, wide upper thighs, really slim waist when viewed from the side. But I look rectangular up front from hip to bust.
    When I purchase pants I always have that annoying waist gap. Everything fits perfectly except the pants waist, its too wide.

    Thank you for this! I always debated whether or not I was truly an hourglass because my lower half isn’t much bigger than my shoulders and I didn’t know how small ones waist needed to be to fit into hourglass. This has really helped me figure out the clothing that styles nicely for my body type too, so thank you! I’m 15 and my measurements are S: 36” B: 32” W: 22” H: 38.5” 😊

    @timelessbeautiesbyjacqueline 4 года назад +3

    Hi Erin love this series thank you. I work with women determining their body shapes also and I think there is confusion with the measurement of including the shoulders. The old way we just used the bust, waist and hips which was so much easier and straight forward. When we include the shoulders there is another element and could put you into 2 categories instead of 1. I do consider both aspects. These videos definitely are helpful to many. hugs xx Jackie

    I love this video! So clear and helpful. I'm a petite, short-waisted, hour glass and it seems like any top that is not stretchy looks like it's too big for me. Even with petite cuts, the obvious waistline of a fitted top falls below my very obvious waistline. Since I'm short, anything not fitted makes me look shorter, and boxy. Looking right now to see your tips for my body type!

    I’m an hourglass - 35-25-37 - and very long waisted. The most life changing thing I’ve recently learned about my body type is the long waisted part. I feel like we all learn if we are an hourglass, triangle, etc. but no one talks about the waist part, and that seems to be what has helped me most in finding clothes that look good. Vertically I’m built like a penguin! It helps explain why I always feel I need to wear heels to look good and why I look so bad in low rise pants.
