I'm an obese hourglass and it's hellish trying to find clothes that fit. 50-25-40. For one thing, my band size is so small that I have to order bras online, because none of the stores around here sell smaller than a 30" band. And I pretty much have to wear baggy shirts because the size difference between my waist, chest, and hips is so extreme that it looks bizarre in clingy shirts. And I get the waist-band problem with pants being tight around my hips but gaping up top.

I'm actually trying to lose about 80 pounds, not because I care about how I look, but because I'm sick of being unable to find clothing that fits me.

From the sound of it, since the bust and hips aren't equally proportional or close to equal, it seems more like your a vase shape instead of an hourglass. There's some clothes in the information on how to dress for a vase shape here:

and here: http://www.wikihow.com/Dress-if-You've-Got-a-Vase-Shaped-Body

Best of luck to losing the weight. But there are ways to dress for your body type.

Thanks for those links, very cool.

No problem! I think it's useful to know exactly what kind of body type you have so you can find the perfect fit that makes you feel great. There's a lot more variety in female body structures than the broad terms like "banana", "apple", "hourglass", and "pear". Some people have broader shoulders than others, or thicker thighs with little bums, or big chests that are much larger than their hips but accompanied by a narrow waist. When you find your specific shape, you can focus on getting clothes with the right cuts and designs that can make you look and feel fabulous. :)

I always like reading about people discussing their bodies, because it lets me see what an incredible variety exists out there.

It's interesting to hear you call yourself an "obese hourglass", because your waist measurement is less than mine, but I'm an absolutely tiny person, barely more than 100 lbs.

I guess it helps me feel really good about all kinds of different body types being out there. I feel you with your struggles to find something that fits and is to your taste, and I definitely hope you can find clothes you like and feel comfortable in.
