I'm gonna have to get a professional to do the measuring then. It seems that every time I measure my partner she has a bigger belly than hips.

I, like most women carry all of my weight on my hips, butt, and upper thighs.
Even though I have a tree trunk like body, there is slight hourglassing going on, my waist is slighly smaller than my hip measurment.
Her on the other hand is completely the opposite (or so it seems to me) No butt or thighs to speak of but instead she carries her weight alot higher, around the belly and boobs.

*sigh* I fear I might have to make a road trip to have a real kiltmaker measure her instead of doing it myself.
