Trinny And Susannah Body Shape Quiz

Making their television debut in 2000 for Granada television and being thrown into the limelight a year later when their popular What Not To Wear Show was broadcast for the first time in 2001, Trinny Woodall and Susannah Constantine have become household names up and down the country.

Helping thousands of women to feel better about themselves (in excess of 5,000, according to an interview with Nicole O'Neill on 6 October 2007 on MSN) by understanding what women's clothes they should wear, they devised a list of 12 different body shapes, 8 more than the traditional apple, banana, pear and hourglass and published them in the Daily Mail newspaper in 2007.

According to the two fashion advisors, the 12 different female body shapes are as follows.

Apple. Starting off with a traditional body shape, Trinny and Susannah explain that the shape is generally round, with any excess weight being gained around the stomach area. The primary positive point of this body shape is the breasts and womens clothes should be purchased to highlight this area.

Hourglass. Big breasts are a plus for hourglass women, too, but they have a slimmer waist than the apple shape. The main problems are often under the hips and around the bum, as these areas tend to gain weight quickest.

Skittle. A longer version of the more traditional pear shape, a woman with a skittle body shape will have a long body, be slim on top and have large thighs.

Vase. Similar to a skittle in terms of the vase being a slight change to an already existing body shape, the vase is simply an elongated version of the hourglass. Not quite as large on the breasts or hips, they do not have as many curves in general, being slightly flatter in the areas where an hourglass is curvy.

Cornet. The cornet body shape is one that a lot of catwalk models posses and is, in essence, a very slim and athletic one. Curves are not prominent with a cornet body shape, but your slim legs and skinny waist are your assets.

Lollipop. With large breasts, slim arms and legs and a smooth stomach, the main problem with a lollipop shape is that as the frame is quite small, it is easy to look top heavy because of the large breasts. The traditional banana body shape is somewhere between this and the cornet shape.

Column. Tall and somewhat stocky are the characteristics here. Long arms, legs and torso are primary features, with the issue being that weight is distributed on your torso to make you look boyish.

Bell. Often the body shape of petite women, large bums with comfortable thighs and waist play the main role with a bell body shape, with most other parts of the body being slim.

Goblet. Broad shoulders and a large back are the key points with the goblet shape, which rest beautifully on very long, slim legs with perfect ankles.

Cello. Similar to both a goblet and a vase, a cello body possesses broad shoulders with large breasts, thighs and bum. They are not overly large, however and almost everything appears to be in proportion.

Pear. Another traditional body shape, the pear shape is often made up of a long, slim torso with shorter, larger legs. The whole upper body has very little problems, with the waist down causing the most issues.

Brick. This shape is one that most people who feel that they do not have a body shape actually have. Relatively boyish in its appearance, there are generally no major accentuations on the body and womens clothes should be purchased to help emphasize what curves are apparent.
