How it works
Enter your bust, waist and hip measurements using the same unit for all three. The calculator compares the proportions and classifies your shape as hourglass, pear (triangle), inverted triangle (apple) or rectangle, and shows your waist-to-hip ratio.
Frequently asked questions
How is body shape worked out?
The calculator compares your bust, waist and hip measurements. If bust and hips are similar and the waist is clearly smaller it is an hourglass; wider hips give a pear, wider bust an inverted triangle, and similar measurements a rectangle.
Does the unit matter?
No. Because the result is based on the ratio between measurements, you can use centimetres or inches — just use the same unit for all three.
Is body shape a measure of health?
No. Body shape simply describes proportions and is not an indicator of health or fitness.
Body Shape Calculator
Body shape is about proportions, not size, so the unit you use does not matter as long as it is the same for all three measurements. The tool compares bust, waist and hips to place you in one of four common categories.
The categories
- Hourglass — balanced bust and hips with a defined waist.
- Pear (Triangle) — hips wider than the bust.
- Inverted Triangle (Apple) — bust/shoulders wider than the hips.
- Rectangle — bust, waist and hips close in measurement.
