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.

If your bust is 38 waist is 30 hip is 40 and bra size is 36B will be your measurements be 38 30 40 or 36 30 40?

Well to have an hourglass figure your waist to hip ratio should be around .7 and this ratio happens to be .75. The lower body is an hourglass figure. The bust is only two inches smaller than hips, which is just about right [we should have some booty]so Id have to say hourglass :)


Is 39-28-40 hourglass?

Possibly. According to the numbers, it's not, because an hourglass figure must have a waist that is at least 25% smaller than the hips and bust (which should be nearly identical), meaning that the measurements should be 40-30-40. However, the best way to figure it out is to look at yourself in the mirror. An hourglass shape has a narrow waist and full, proportionate hips and bust. Is that what you look like?

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.
