Close. Only about 8 to 9 percent of the female population fit the definition of the classic hourglass figure: the bust and hips about the same size and the waist at least 9 inches less. 36-24-36 is considered ideal for that type. The prototype was Mae West. Marilyn Monroe and Raquel Welch were hourglasses. Contemporary women include Salma Hayak and Scarlett Johansson.

Would these measurements 36-26-40 be hourglass measurements?
AnswerThose dimensions on a woman would be a 36-inch bust, a 26-inch waist and 40-inch hips, so yes. That is an hourglass figure.This is definitely *not* an hourglass figure. More of a "busty pear". You have the chest and the waist but a little bit extra junk in your trunk.

How do you work out a figure as a percentage of another figure?
Divide the figure (usually the smaller one) into the base figure (usually larger). Then to get the percent figure, multiply the fraction by a hundred. For example, in a class 34 students, 11 are male, what percent of the class is male? 11/34=0.32 then 0.32X100=32%.
