While yin is delicately sweet and yang is sharply spicy, together they are ambrosial.

Feed me fashionably fresh
Reachel,
I cannot figure out the ratio of my measurements to tell me if I’m proud to be a pear or have mystical curves. Here are my numbers:
34 inch bust (without my padded bra to make up the difference)! 29 in waist 39 inch hips.
Thank you for your help 🙂
Lady Penfold,
Your numbers indicate you are a lower figure. If the pear feature describes your experience, you should have a match. Good luck on your fashion adventure.
One more question: I am 5’2″ and 124# All my features are compact not long, I have very broad shoulders (15″ across from shoulder seam to shoulder seam), I wear a bra that makes my chest 35″ Does shoulder width balance a pear to make me a curve or is it strictly the bust? I am ready to embrace whatever I am I just don’t know (I should have included this in the first query). A very many thanks. I am wanting to do a look book just wondering whether to do the closet analysis!
The breadth of your shoulders would definitely affect your body type. If the breadth of your shoulders is within 2 inches of the breadth of your hips, I would categorize you as an hourglass as opposed to a pear.
And if you want to add a look book on to a closet analysis, I could offer you both for a discounted $175.
