The areas of your body where you carry the most fat determine your body
shape so, for some women, it is possible to determine their body shape
simply by looking at them. However, there is also a more exact way to
determine your body shape. All you need is a measuring tape. By
measuring your waist circumference and your hip circumference and then
calculating your waist to hip ratio you can determine if you are an
apple, hourglass, pear or ruler.

In order to determine your shape, measure your bust at the
fullest part of the breast line, your waist at the narrowest part of the
waistline and your hips at the fullest part of your bottom. Make sure
you keep the measuring tape straight across. Write these numbers down
and then do some math to determine your body shape.
Divide hip by waist number for your hip/waist ratio
Divide bust by waist number for your bust/waist ratio
Divide waist by hip number for your waist/hip ratio
Divide waist by bust number for your waist/bust ratio

The apple shape is also known as the middle figured shape.
Apple-shaped women tend to have average bust size, a larger belly and
then small or flat hips and bottom. If your waist/hip and waist/bust
ratio are each greater than .75, you are an apple.
-
Pear-shaped women tend to carry fat in the hips/butt/thigh
area and have small breasts and a small/flat stomach. If your hip/waist
ratio is greater than 1.25 and your waist/bust is greater than .75, you
are a pear.
-
If your hips/butt and your bust measure within 2 inches of
each other or your waist/bust ratio is less than .75, then you are an
hourglass. Women with an hourglass shape have large breasts, a small
stomach and large hips, butt and thighs. The hourglass shape is widely
regarded as the ideal shape.

Women who have ruler-shaped bodies tend to be lean and have
very few curves. Other terms for ruler-shaped women are linear, straight
or column shaped. If your shoulder width is equal to your hip width or
your bust, waist and hip measurement is the same or very close to the
same you are a ruler shape.
