Body Shapes:

Pear

Pears are heavier on the bottom than the top - usually there are one or two sizes difference between the two.  The waist is usually smaller and defined and most of the extra weight is in the hips and thighs.

Apple

Apples carry their weight around the middle - they will have larger bust lines and waist lines.  Usually they have flatter bottoms and great legs!

Hourglass

These lucky ladies have a curvy and balanced figure - it curves in all the right places!  The top and bottom are the same size.

Rectangular

This body type is straight up and down, without noticeable curves.
