i'm a 36B

waist: 27

hips: 33

Answer 1

It depends on your height.  If you are 5'3", then you are petite.  If you are 5'10", then you are stick skinny.  If you are 4'11", then you are curvy.

Answer 2

You are an inverted triangle, because your bust size is bigger than your hips size.

"Defining your waist and softening your shoulders:

Look for tops in soft drapey material and avoid stiff fabrics without stretch.

Tailored shirts, V-neck wrap tops, and knitted tops with soft U-necklines will help define your waist.

Select knitwear, tops and jackets with waist belts, ties and ribbons to give you shape.

Layering knitwear or jackets with something soft and feminine underneath will also offer you definition where you need it.

Keeping your cardigans unbuttoned will soften your shoulders. Tops with soft sleeve treatment like raglans, dropped shoulder points and shoulder slits will also do the trick. Soft collarless tunics are a must for your body type.

You can wear any jacket length as long as it’s fitted to your waist. Keep the lapels small and consider collarless styles to narrow your shoulders.

Avoid halter necks, puffed/gathered sleeves, boat necks, epaulettes and strapless tops. They will exaggerate the width of your shoulders.

Shift dresses, bias cuts and tunic dresses are best. Soft dresses with V-neck ruffle detail will also work.

Wearing it all at the bottom:

Your narrow hips and slim legs give you tremendous choice when it comes to pants – you can wear it all. You look particularly good in boot cut jeans and cargo pocket pants.

Choose skirts that add bit of shape and curve to your body. Knee length skirts with contoured waistbands, patch pockets on the front or back are good. Full circle, tiered, pleated, bias and gathered skirts are also excellent.

Avoid pencil skirts if you are fairly busty – they will emphasize your broad shoulders make you look top heavy. "

Answer 3

You have a wider waist, and narrower hips, so to get a hour-glass shape, you should wear something to make your hips look wider. Try tops and dresses with cinched waists and wide leg pants.

Answer 4

Well you're top heavy... not exactly apple but you're an inverted triangle. try wearing heavier bottoms, like wideleg pants or bubble skirts. tops should probably be tighter.
