I'm a 15 year old and I'm 5 foot 9 and 130 pounds. I've always thought that my butt is really big and that I'm a pear shape. Can you tell by my measurements if I'm really a pear shape? They are: 32-27-37. I can't believe my waist is a whole 10 inches wider than my butt!

Sorry, I meant it's 10 inches thinner.

That's actually a great waist to hip ratio (27/37=.729). My psychology professor was doing research and found that .7 has been the ideal for models over the years (from Marilyn Monroe to Twiggy being close). So you have a great shape, my ratio is about the same as yours and I'm healthy and active

Yes, you are really a pear shape. This is the most common shape of women in America.
Buy tops in slim [ not tight ] fits with hems from hipbone to about 4 inches below.Empires, v-necks, scoop necks, or boatnecks, and textured turtlenecks.
Skirt bottoms in A-lines - not pencil, not super full, are best.
Low-rise, flat front, boot cut pants are best - avoid gathers, pleats, cuffs, or tapered.
Dresses in Empire waist, or ruched look great.
Swimsuits in v-neck, wide set straps, brighter top/darker bottom are good. No boy leg or super-hi cut legs.
PS: 5'9" and 37 inch hips is pretty skinny - try building up shoulders, chest and arms with pushups, pullups [ underhand and overhand ] and some light weightlifting.
Caution- pears tend to gain more weight in their butt/hips, so maintain normal weight [ 130 - 155 ].

Pear shape is a pretty general term. It means hips larger than bust and wider than shoulders. You probably have small breasts and it sounds like you have large hips. I wouldn't worry about it. It doesn't sound like you are unhealthy or anything. Your waist does not sound wider than your butt. That must be typo.

I am 5foot9 and 140 lbs is pretty average.
i dont think you look like a "pear" by the measurements.
Maybe you are too focused on your butt. Your waist is perfect.

you extremely won't understand what look stable on your shape till you start up attempting on robes. you will possibly desire to hold %. of robes you like to the shop once you circulate next week, so the staff can pull samples of comparable kinds. i myself needed an prolonged one shoulder chiffon gown final 3 hundred and sixty 5 days, yet that style regarded awful on me, so I went with an A line strapless cocktail length taffeta gown.
