What is My Body Shape 1. Your body shape is not defined by what a tape measure might say as it goes around your body. It is true it will give you a circumference measure, which can be necessary when buying clothes. What your body shape is telling you is the silhouette that your body creates on a wall. What is the 'shape' you create? I once saw a girl on stage who, from where I sat, was balanced from her shoulders, through her waist to her hips. There was little defining shape, so in my calculations, she is what I would refer to as a champagne glass, Straight and tall. No defined waist or hips. Interestingly when a tape measure was placed around her body it showed her as having a larger bottom/hips. This was due to the fact that she had a bubble butt. You know a Kardashian behind. She was not full in the hips but everything she was told to wear described her that way. Do this quiz to see what your silhouette is. The outer edge of my shoulders are about the same width as my hips. If I drew a line down they would be on the same line or within a centimeter or half an inch True False Your email address: Your name: Loading...
