What is my body shape?

[Anonymous]

I have been on a weight loss journey, and have dropped from 250 to 180 I’m still working on losing weight and building muscle but I’m at the point where I have to buy new clothes, problem is I don’t even know how to determine my body shape to try and find things that fit.

Congratulations on the weight loss. And your efforts to build muscle shows.
You definitely don't look flabby. You don't have rolls.
You are still heavy but you have a good shape. I'd describe you as voluptuous.

With the size of your boobs and the shape of your hips, you might have an hourglass figure. I wouldn't call it pear shape with those nice boobs.

As far as buying clothes on-line that fit, I have no idea.
But keep up the good work in losing weight and getting fit. It's working for you.

I think the best way to find things that fit you is to get all measurements necessary so you can assure and when you purchase maybe go with a safe size, I'm not sure what body shape it is but I think you can always try on the clothing before buying no?

I had planned on ordering online there aren’t many options around me for clothing.

[ChicoFromThe305]

Ooh so online purchases, I see your issue, wouldn't measuring the circumference, height, width and length along with the size on the label help you find something, maybe outside your area, maybe imported clothing from other areas, that's I your area is as limited as you got me thinking

[Asker]

I can and will try that thank you. I was seeing things that explain body shape and the style of clothing that best fits to look more put together. So that was part of the reason for asking.

Yeah my area is actually limited we have places like Walmart and target but the actual clothing places are pretty much for kids (carters and children’s place) or wildly inappropriate for me

[ChicoFromThe305]

I figured, I believe that online is probably a way to make it more flexible when it comes to quantity and selection, although the issue is indeed size related and getting your size in measurements the internet will understand in a search will be a bit complicated but I think once you uses all your calculations to come up with a size it will be easier to shop online you've got like a curvy body type but I dont think if you search curvy for clothing options that you size would pop up although I think if you can figure out what size it is in the way they measure it then you might.

[Asker]

Thank you, I will definitely try measuring and matching. And I see what you mean.

[ChicoFromThe305]

Cool best of luck missy, I hope you find a good source for fashion.

[Asker]

Thank you, I hope so to and thank you for the genuine answer without mocking me it’s truly appreciated

[ChicoFromThe305]

No problem, your body looks fine to me although I wish I could help more with your problem, hopefully I was at help in some way. Good day 💯

A curvy kind of average, and that is meant as a compliment.

I think nowadays, they call them "Plus Sizes"

[Asker]

Well hardy har har clearly I know I am fat hints the weight loss comment 🙄

[Opinion Owner]

I was merely pointing out that there are words and terms that are being used today that were never used in the past. I was assuming that you didn't know this

[Asker]

Then I am truly sorry for my negative response and would like to offer you a sincere apology.

I’d also offer an explanation of my response A lot of people use plus size as an insult, a round about way of calling someone fat. While I know I still fit it that category I still get defensive based on prior experiences.

what I was asking about is used to describe the shape of the body. Like hourglass (I know I am not this but it’s the most recognizable shape in my mind anyways) there are other ones pear, apple rectangle and a few others from what I’ve seen online. Apparently these shapes help people find what is supposed to be most aesthetically pleasing on them.

Chubby keep working on the weight loss

[Awantika03]

Chubby

[Asker]

Yes I know but I was looking for the whole rectangle, apple pear thing to determine what cut of clothing to look for

[Wise4myage]

Curvy?
