I've been following your blog for awhile but hadn't gotten around to measuring myself. Here I am:

Bust: 39
Waist: 32.5
Hips: 40

I also happen to be 6'0", which led me straight to the linear figure page. Now, according to your descriptions, I'd fit in this linear type, but I definitely have a bust. So am I more of a middle figure? I don't know where I fit!

So what exactly would you be if you have a small chest with very broad shoulders and wider hips. You certainly don't look like a pear if you have broad shoulders. I think the shoulder measurement is just as important as the bust measurement.

Amy, even with an enhancement, you could still have a narrow shoulder line. So, yes, even with an ample bust, you could still be a pear. One way to check is to measure the frontal breadth of your shoulders against the frontal breadth of your hips.

Reachel-

I love your blog. Thank you so much for all you've posted so far! I think I have been pear-ish most of my life, but after some "enhancement" I don't seem to fall into the exact pear category anymore. Is it possible to have a more ample bust and still be a pear?

I didn't know there was a picture of me floating around the internet, but it looks like there is, and you used it for this post!

I think I'm hooked. I'll be back for sure.

I've never been so happy to be a celery before! Finally, pretty clothing options for my hips = waist proportions. Can I kiss the person who invented the padded bra?

Thank you for all of your wonderful tips!

To Hannah- The cheat sheet has more information than the blog posts. Exacting details on the jackets, pants, skirts, etc for your body type.

To Cindy- There is actually fantastic sales going on at Anthropologie right now. I've seen tops going for $10 and $14. However, if you don't mind sacrificing quality, check out Forever 21. They copy a lot of Anthropologie's designs, but their cuts are geared toward teen bodies and the items usually only hold up to a season of wear.

Rachel I love Anthropologie, it's amazing, but not in my price range. Is there anyway to get the style at a lower price?

Thank you Reachel! Very helpful; I definitely identified with your description. Is the "cheat sheet" a replica of the blog post or does it contain more details?
Nice job on the video, too!
