    Yep, we do. I'm a little bigger in the bust than my mom, and she has more belly, but we could wear the same clothes pretty much. I don't have any sisters, but our body type runs in most of the women in my mom's side of the family.

    Sort of...My mom and my sister are both very slim. Proportionally, though, my mom's chest is pretty big for her body and she doesn't have any hips. My chest is huge for my body (or for anyone's, lol), and I don't have hips either.

    I would say we do. Medium chest, thin waist and round hips. Though I am size 2-4, and mom is 8 and I am 2 inches shorter :)

    We sort of do.. We all have the same sort of pear-type small chest + small waist + wide hips shape going on, but I'm 3 inches taller than both of them and my hips are proportionately larger to my body than theirs are.

    Yes! We are all short and on the heavier side. My sister and I totally have "bubble butts" but hers is much more pronounced than mine because she's thinner, lol.

    All 3 of us have big hips. Definitely bottom heavy, haha

    Not at all.  My half sister is a very large woman and we have nothing about us that is the same, and My mom is alittle taller than I am and has long legs with a short torso, while I have a better proportion than my mom does (but she has really awesome legs and I don't )

    @AbbyDabbyDoodleBug: One of the first comments my FI made about my body is saying that I have a bubble butt. I love that term.

    My mom was more busty than I am and carried her weight in her stomach.  Mine is carried in my hips and thighs.  I'm also leggier than she was and have a longer torso.

    We're not entirely dissimilar, but I am large framed and she is small framed.  I think I am longer in the torso than she is and have a more muscular body type even without lifting.  After a few years of weight lifting, I've become way more muscular - we're actually almost exactly the same height and weight but between bone size and muscles I'm 3-4 sizes smaller.

    Not at all.  I'm 5'5 and very lean and take after my dad (he's 5'11). We have tennis player type physiques and my mom and sister are shorter and thicker with bigger boobs. I'm very lucky I take after my dad, but my mom looks great and has an hour glass figure and only weighs 135 (5'3) and is almost 60.  My sister is 5'1 and very over weight.  It's a shame, if she lost weight, she'd be the tiniest hottest thing ever..beautiful face.  But she really doesn't take care of herself and eats crap and complains and is in denial as to why she is fat (umm maybe stop eating mcdonalds 2-3 times a week?)

    Not at alllll... it's weird.  I am a definite pear shape, although I've become a little more proportional from losing some weight, but definitely have big ol' hips and small boobs.  My sister is straight up and down... no hips or boobs.  My mom is an "apple" shape, and carries all her weight in her stomach and upper body.

    So we're nothing alike!  My sister is probably more like my mom, but she has a very high metabolism that my mom never had.

    Nope. My mother is very tall and thin, no butt and probably a B cup at best.

    I on the other hand am short and thick, D cup and bubble butt. I seriously HATE these genes. She can buy anything off the rack and nothing ever fits me.

    I am taller then both my sister and my mother so my legs are longer but we are generally the same shape. My sister and I share most of our clothes but since she's had a babies her clothes are slightly bigger then mine. We all carry our weight in our thighs and hips. Ugh :(

    Before her first major Lupus flare up and Menopause, yes. We're built very similar- same joint problems too, gives me a nice heads up that I'm in for years of hip, knee, ankle, and back pain.

    She's a good 15lbs lighter now than I am so we can't really share bottoms (she's boney while I have curves) but except for the deeper v-necks we can share tops (the only time she was my size up top was when she was nursing). I also borrow her shoes when I'm home (my favorite pair of flats started out as hers).

    It's harder to see similarities now. She's constantly working out and biking, and I'm not. I'm also a wee bit shorter.

    We all have hour glass shapes but my mum and I are smaller in the bust whereas my 2 sisters are bigger.  My sisters and I all wear the same size clothes so we can still borrow off each other.

    My mom and I both have small busts and my sister has curves.  However, my mom and sister are bigger than me in general and can easily gain weight; I am naturally very petite and small like my Dad.

    Nope, not at all body wise. She is petite, small boned, small frame with a small bust. I can pick her up easily. She is around 5'5".. While I take after my dad. I'm medium/big boned, wider shoulders, big boobs, taller.. More stakier and not as high of a metablism and have more muscles and long legs. So body wise we are pretty much opposite but I look like how she did when she was younger (same round face, brown hair, blue eyes).

    Me, my mom and my grandma who passed away twelve years ago all had the same body shape. Petite, small boned, small waisted but very soft and curvy with big boobs and big hips. We just grew an inch with each generation. Grandma was 5'1", mom's 5'2", I'm 5'3". My mom's a lot prettier than I am though.

    My mom, sister, and I all have almost identical body types. We're all very slender, slightly curvy, and range in height from about 5'4" to 5'6". We can all share clothes, and my sister and mom can even share shoes! I so wish I could because my sister has the cutest shoe collection, but I'm a couple sizes smaller.

    No, my mom and I are complete opposites.  I have boobs, an ass, and hips.  She's a stick with absolutely nothing.  She's always questioned where the hell I came from.  :P

    My mom and dad both carried their weights in the stomach area, and I am definitely on guard against that. I am similarly built to my mom in that I have narrower hips and a more straight/apple build. My sister is an all around more petite version, too.

    What I don't understand, though, is that both my mom and sister had/have boobs proportional to the rest of their weights/sizes/statures/shapes. I am pretty much flat chested. I don't get it. What happened to me? It's not fair!

    One of my sisters and I take after our dad, who is skinny and athletic. My other two sisters are more like our mom, who's average height/weight and not very curvy. I'm the only sister with any boobs to speak of, haha. Won the genetic lottery with that one.

    Nope!  My mum and sister are both petite 5'4 and 5'2, very slim, with small chests and very slim hips.  My brother and I are giants by comparison!  He's 6'7 and I'm 5'11!  I have a very curvy figure.  Large chest, smaller waist, big ole booty.  Sometimes I really wish I were a size two, like my pretty sis, but then again...FI really likes the boobs.  Can't win them all, I guess.

    My 2 sisters, my mom, and I could all share clothes. We're all betwee 5'7" and 5'10" and wear the same size. From the outside we look like the same body type, but my mom and middle sister have "birthing hips" and my youngest sister and I are more boy-shaped.

    Nope, my sister, my mom, and I aren't the same at all! My mom is very petite and boyish almost, small boobs and waist and hips, 5'3. My sister is a lot curvier than me and my mom, 5'5 with bigger boobs and hips and has a very womanly figure. She thinks she is "fat" and "overweight," but she is really very beautiful. I am 5'4 and slim, but I have rather proportional curves, not "curvy" but I have some assets. We are all very different and can't wear each other's clothes at all (not even each other's shoes! My mom is a 7, my sister is an 8 1/2, and I am a 5 1/2 or 6!)

    I have no sisters, but from what I can remember, I think I do have the same body shape as my mother, but she is shorter.

    I know that I don't have the same body type as my cousins on my father's side of the family. They are more apple-shape and I am more hourglass. I would love to have their slender calves!

    I don't have sisters, but my two cousins and I have my gramma's curvy figure and her rack.  They even look just like her.  I look like my mom but that woman was 5ft10 110lbs after 5 kids.  she had to put on weight her whole life .... my brothers wives all look EXACTLY alike, just like my mom, my dad's brother thought two of my brother's wives were sisters.  I am 5ft3 ... she was flat chested and they called her NAAA (No Ass At All) yeah neither of those are problems i have.
