Somewhat bland but mildly interesting on general principles nonetheless.
Yes, the measurements 40-30-38 typically describe an hourglass figure. An hourglass shape is characterized by a significant difference between the bust and waist measurements, with a defined waist that is narrower than both the bust and hips. In this case, the 10-inch difference between the bust (40 inches) and waist (30 inches) suggests a pronounced hourglass silhouette.
and the question is ...
It depends on what the waist was before.
To convert inches to centimeters, you can use the conversion factor where 1 inch is equal to 2.54 centimeters. Therefore, a 26-inch waist is approximately 66.04 centimeters (26 inches × 2.54 cm/inch).
A 92 cm waist measurement is approximately equivalent to a 36-inch waist. To convert centimeters to inches, you can use the conversion factor where 1 inch equals 2.54 centimeters. Therefore, dividing 92 cm by 2.54 gives you about 36.2 inches, which is typically rounded to a 36-inch waist in clothing sizes.

For the bust-waist-hip measurements you take the body circumferences (in inch) at the fullest point of the bust, then the thinnest point of the waist and again the fullest point of the hips.
A pear shape is typically characterized by hips that are wider than the shoulders, often with a hip measurement significantly greater than the bust measurement. While a 40-inch hip measurement alone doesn't definitively classify someone as pear-shaped, it can contribute to that body type if the waist is narrower and the bust is smaller in comparison. Ultimately, body shape is determined by the proportions of the bust, waist, and hips together.
What dress size is for a thirty inch bust
Probably a US size 6 (which is UK size 8 I think...)
The most standard measurements are 34-24-34 (bust, waist and hips in inches). Models are allowed to be smaller than these sizes but no larger than one inch in any of these areas.
I'm a 34 waist and 46 hips and I am in a 12.
Well these are my exact measurements and I would say at least a 12 but your chest can cause differing.

To determine proper proportions, take into account not only the bust size but also the waist and hip measurements. A general guideline could be a 10-12 inch difference between bust and waist measurements and a 8-10 inch difference between waist and hips. However, everyone's body is unique so it's important to consider individual body shape and proportions as well.

As of April 2011, Selena Gomez's measurements were 34 inch bust, 24 inch waist, and 36 inch hips. However, measurements change all the time, and are not constant, so they might be slightly different now.
