Hourglass: This is known as the perfect body shape. You have an hourglass figure if your hip line and your bust line are the same width and your waist is well defined.
Inverted triangle: You have an inverted triangle body shape if you have a large bust, or you have broad shoulders, or both. You most likely are a long-legged vertical body shape with proportionally slim legs.
