    Thank you for this! I just did the measurements and I am considered Pear Shaped. Over the past 5 months I have lost 30 pounds by doing the Intermittent Fast, eating much healthier, drinking plenty of water, better choices (which is rare) with fast food and dining out at a sit down restaurant. Even before the weight lost I’m pretty sure I was still Pear Shaped. I’m getting ready for summer because you are showing too many cute fashions and I want to look cute to, be healthier and hopefully get off of some meds! 😁

    Great video Mrs. Angela! My whole life I've felt like I was rectangle shaped but after taking my measurements I discovered I'm actually an hourglass shape! My hips and shoulders are the exact same measurement and my waist is approximately 9-10 inches smaller. Thank you so much for this. It has unexpectedly boosted my confidence

    So glad that you did this video. I was struggling to identify my body shape. I have not done any measurements yet, but I know that my weight gain is distributed throughout my entire body. From the description, I am almost certain that I am a square/rectangular shape. Not sure if my shape will change as I move forward towards my goal to lose 40lbs by May. However, I'm looking forward to implementing more of your fashion tips. Again, thanks! You're awesome!

    What an eye-opening video!! First, THANK YOU for highlighting the beauty of all body shapes and the women who have them. That feels good. Also, I used to be an inverted triangle in college (shoulders broad, and my waist was only 1 inch different from my hips). I have always viewed myself as an apple/inverted triangle because I have large breasts, broad shoulders (which I love), and a tummy (which I don't love). However, thanks to your video, I just measured myself (12 years and 3 kids later) and ya girl finally has hips!! I could cry lol. my waist is 8 inches smaller than my shoulders, almost 7 inches smaller than my hips.

Don’t matter what I do, the weight goes straight to my midriff. When I go on a diet, I lose my behind and bust so fast, but the midriff refuses to budge. I now dress accordingly to my apple shape and it’s alright with me.🥰🥰🥰

    Production, you laughing a little too hard at our Girl. Thank you for this. I’m definitely an Apple shape. Large top and stomach with slimmer bottom. It takes talent and a creative eye to style this shape type.

    I am still a little confused lol. I think im rectangle but i think i cud be hourglass. I have broad shoulders, big breast DDD and big booty. So my hip and shoulder measurements are always higher than my waist but from the front i don’t notice the difference that much. Im stepping into a new me and want to dress for the occasion. But i want to know what are the best things for me to shop for.
