THE BODY TYPE : GOBLET

1/8/2013

Catherine Zeta Jones is a Goblet, wich is a very top heavy shape similar to the Cornet and Lollipop in many ways, but there are some differences. They have broad shoulders and a wide back, big boobs, not much of a waist, narrow hips, often a bit of a tummy and long legs (Some have a lot of tummy). Even though they have female curves, there is a big tendency for clothes making them look a bit boxy, square and masculine.
It’s just a case of accentuating the positive which is those lovely long legs and good bust line.

The most important guidelines.
- Anything square, chunky, to covering, or loose will make your figure look disproportionate and create an extreme version of the figure.
- Make sure to accentuate the space under your breast with a belt or something tightly fit, so your breast don't look saggy.
- Empire-line cuts, panelled skirts in a heavy fabric, or folded material will help cover the tummy for those who have it.
- Short skirts and high heels show those lovely long legs.
- Fluted skirts and ballon-sleeves helps you create curves in the areas that have less.
- Belts and pattern will help you break up and separate the different body elements for the curves to show through.
- Don’t be afraid to invest in some good shape-wear to smooth any lumps and further enhance your shape.
- Also make sure to have a great bras to keep those boobs up and away from your waist.

Remember, some of the world’s most attractive women are Goblets, so make the most of what you've got because you've got a lot of good stuff.

Hi! This site is great, but I still can't decide if I am a goblet or lollipop...or something else entirely! My measurements are 38-28-39. I have very broad shoulders(ex swimmer) but a small back, my bra size is 30GG. I have a short waist and fairly long slim but muscular legs. I also don't have a flat butt, it's round-ish. I know all my details, but I don't seem to belong in any category :( Do you have any advice for me? Thanks in advance!

Sounds like V-shaped and mesomorph body type (muscular) - also a bit of apple and retangle.

Could be also cornet (instead of the breasts)
- boyish and athletic;
cornets have smaller breasts, broad shoulders and longer legs.

Hi, Elisabeth. If you look at Angelina Jolie's Lollipop figure, you can see that she actually have kind of wide shoulders. What makes her a Lollipop is that her shoulders and back is still not enough to be as broad as a Goblet body type is. Another difference is that a Goblet has a heavier chest than a Lollipop, so that would also count a lot.

The defining features of the Lollipop are large but not heavy boobs, slim hips, proportionally small waist and long elegant legs.

The Goblet have large shoulders and a wide back, big boobs, not much of a waist, narrow hips, often a bit of a tummy and long legs.

So, the Lollipop will have a little more of a waist than the Goblet, and maybe less of a tummy.

As Callas commented below, the first message was a very good description of what many Goblets look like, and then in the second she suggested a Cornet, which also could fit depending on your chest and how that size looks on your body. A Goblet is in some ways a mix of a Lollipop and a Cornet, and I've seen many people that are Cornets wonder if they're actually a Goblet. Your chest sounds too large to be a Cornet, but without having seen you, you never know for sure. There is always the possibility of being an untypical version of your body type, especially if you have a very balanced figure that can begin to look like a lot of types. Body types are easiest to figure out, if your think of them in terms of shades of grey rather than black and white. It's all on a flowing many sided scale, and the hard part for many can be to figure out which side of the scale you lean toward the most.
Another trick, can be to first determine the feature(s) you find the hardest to dress, and then the one(s) you feel the most comfortable with. That can often highlight some dominant features.

Here's short about the Cornet as well, to cover all the bases: The shape resemble an upside down triangle, where the shoulders are broad, boobs are usually small, straight waist, slim hips and long, slender legs. (Usually = not always)

You mention that you have a short waist and long legs. A flat, but round bum. This combined with a large chest. You'r figure seems to be balanced from your measurements, so with a large chest I would consider Vase as well, as they have less of a bum than the other two hourglass types. However, they have a long and curved waist, so not a very strong fit.
Adding that one too, so you have the info: The Vase is the most elegant body type, and the signature features are big boobs, gently curving longer waist, hips equal bust, slim thighs and legs. They can also have a bit chunky upper arms.
I would look at the Brick as well, as they also have shoulder and hip width that matches, broad shoulders, long legs, and can have a chest and a bum. Examples of the Brick with more of a curvy look is, Jennifer Hudson, Eva Longoria, Rene Zellweger in the two first Bridget Jones Diary movies. To name a few that stands a part from the Kate Moss type of Brick.
Here's the Brick: Slight or no waist, longer legs, small bust and bottom, and usually broad shoulders, rather thick thighs and calves (in proportion to their overall size). Shoulder width is the same as hip width, without any particularly prominent body area. This shape can come in many sizes and for some the tummy is more prominent. The more body weight, the bigger the possibilities for a bum and a larger chest. The figure will still be a little rectangular, but can have the appearance of curves because of chest and bum. If it get's very curvy, it's starts to become a Cello for example. A slender Cello example is Serena Williams.
Also, about the Goblet again, I have seen that when many Goblets gain weight, they also gain a little to their thighs, hips, and bum. They still have the shape of a Goblet though, and will have most on the top half of their bodies (chest, tummy, upper arms). I hope this info will help you narrow it down a little, or clear up some things. If you're still stuck, you can send me some photos on idealiststyledotcom@gmail.com, if you'd like. That will usually clear things up.

Xxx, Sun.

Hi. My measurements are 36-26-37 and my shoulders are 40. I ears 36D bra I have quite muscylar legs, medium torso, longer legs and long arms. I usually tend to gain very easily muscles. What is my body typr and what types of jeans fit me and t-shitts fit me??

Hi, Kate! It sounds like you could either be a Cornet with a bigger bra size than the stereotype, or a Goblet could fit perfectly too. I would also Check out the Cello, and see If your muskulatur legs could be curvy legs that might balance your top half? Do you have a large but and thighs? If your bottom half is straight, it sounds more like you're a Goblet or a Cornet. It's hard to say what t-shirt and jeans fit you before we're sure about the body type. So, go to the Overview of all the body types, look at the body types that I've mentioned. Once you find your type, look at the "Best Looks" posts for, for example Goblet body type (you can find the "Best looks" posts on the body types overview. Let me know if you can't find it) and there you will find examples of the best kind of pants and tops for your body type. That said, I think all women look good in skinny jeans (you just need to find the right waist length. High-waisted, natural, or dropped waist?). A T-shirt with a open neckline that's not too wide, but rather breaks up your shoulders and chest area at then same time, would be beneficial. As for sleeves, stay away from 3/4 length sleeves (anything below your albow should be full length), and normal t-Shirt sleeves or broad straps are better for your shoulders and your chest.

I hope this helped :-)
