Female Body Type Calculator
How This Body Type Calculator Works
Understanding your body shape is the first step toward building a wardrobe that makes you feel confident and comfortable. Our calculator uses the specific ratios between your bust, waist, and hips to categorize your frame into one of the five primary female body types: Hourglass, Pear, Apple, Rectangle, or Inverted Triangle.
The logic is based on industry-standard fashion geometry. For example, the "Hourglass" figure is defined by balanced bust and hip measurements with a significantly smaller waist. In contrast, the "Rectangle" shape features measurements that are relatively uniform across the board.
Bust: 36″ | Waist: 26″ | Hips: 36″
Logic: Since Bust and Hips are equal and the Waist is at least 25% smaller than the Bust/Hips (36 * 0.75 = 27), this profile is classified as an Hourglass.
How to Measure Correcty
- Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your chest. Keep the tape level.
- Waist: Measure at your "natural waistline," which is the narrowest part of your torso (usually just above the belly button).
- High Hip: This is the top of your hip bone. Measure around the area where your hip bones protrude.
- Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your buttocks.
Common Body Shape Definitions
Hourglass: Your bust and hips are nearly equal in size, and you have a well-defined waistline that is significantly smaller than both.
Pear (Triangle): Your hips are wider than your bust and shoulders. This is the most common body type among women.
Rectangle (Straight): Your bust, waist, and hips are all fairly similar in measurement. You have a "straight" silhouette with little waist definition.
Inverted Triangle: Your bust or shoulders are wider than your hips. You likely have an athletic build and slender legs.
Apple (Round): You have a full bust and your waist measurement is equal to or larger than your hips. You tend to carry weight in your midsection.
