    Body Shape

    Try here http://www.calculator.net/body-type-calculator.html TBH I would not be too worried what shape you are, if you look in the web any one who is a 12 is plus size , but in the UK the average dress size is 14, the two do not logically match.

    From mother to daughter

    What a nice group of items you have here, I bet the watches might not take much effort to get working again, the clothes drier was my night mare as a kid we had one the same and if it collapsed with the clothes on as there is only two wires stopping that from happening I was in so much trouble...
