My vote goes to rectangle.&nbsp;Your bottom and top look really balanced. You seem to gain weight proportionally so I don't think you're an apple shape. You're beautiful </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/am-i-a-rectangle-apple#post-1346451 Wed, 03 Sep 2014 21:24:23 +0000 Anonymous 1346451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're face and body are stunning, talk about natural beauty! I'm unsure what shape you have, though it is very beautiful. In relevance to that, from the looks of your photo your hips are curvy and your shoulders line with them nicely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/am-i-a-rectangle-apple#post-987574 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 15:25:48 +0000 sweetpotato 987574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for all the compliments, and help identifying my body type. It's hard for me to be objective when it comes to my own body!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/am-i-a-rectangle-apple#post-987297 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 04:29:39 +0000 froggiebecky 987297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello and welcome!&nbsp;<br />I'm agreeing with echo--rectangle first, hourglass second.&nbsp;<br />You've got a lovely smile in your engagement photo! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/am-i-a-rectangle-apple#post-987285 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 03:45:49 +0000 Beth Ann 987285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome!&nbsp; I'm in agreement with the others --- I'd say hourglass first, because I associate a true rectangle with a smallish bust.&nbsp; </p> <p>Welcome!&nbsp; It's good to meet you!&nbsp; Make sure you check out Angie's "formulas" and "ensemble" posts.&nbsp; These can help as much as identifying body type in helping you gain confidence and move forward. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/am-i-a-rectangle-apple#post-987184 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 01:54:30 +0000 Echo 987184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that you look like a racy rectangle, with secondary hourglass tendencies. You look fantastic, and welcome to the forum! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/am-i-a-rectangle-apple#post-987180 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 01:51:41 +0000 ManidipaM 987180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I too see a high-waisted (ie short-waisted) hourglass, rectangle as secondary maybe but not apple.</p> <p>Even with the same measurements at waist and hip, it depends how things are distributed, you know? For instance, I'm a rectangle-turned-apple myself, but my waist measurement is typically (well, even just postpartum) smaller than my hip measurement---HOWEVER, that's not what you *see* when you look at me, because my hip measurement used to come from junk in trunk but hardly any flare at the sides. So front on, I looked straight from ribs to thighs. You may well be the opposite!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/am-i-a-rectangle-apple#post-987130 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 00:44:10 +0000 sweetpotato 987130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Alright, I added some new pictures. Hopefully they'll help.&nbsp;</p> <p>I have started "researching" fashion and how to dress body types, because shopping &amp; putting together outfits is a chore for me. Although I like dressing up, I'm not much good at it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/am-i-a-rectangle-apple#post-987080 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 23:54:00 +0000 sweetpotato 987080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for the welcomes and helpful comments.

It's a lovely picture of yourself that you've posted. I'd lean towards rectangle before hourglass going solely by your photo. While your waist measurement is definitely smaller, if I draw lines from shoulder to waist to hip (we artists can't help ourselves!) I think the visual effect tends towards rectangle with hints of hourglass. In any case, I guess you'll find the tips for dressing both of those shapes really helpful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/am-i-a-rectangle-apple#post-987033 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 22:43:52 +0000 DonnaF 987033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome!&nbsp; I would say hourglass and rectangle; not sure which is primary and which is secondary.&nbsp; You have a lovely figure and wonderful long legs! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/am-i-a-rectangle-apple#post-987009 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 22:05:11 +0000 Ornella 987009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To me you look like&nbsp;primary hourglass, secondary rectangle. Welcome. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/am-i-a-rectangle-apple#post-986996 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 21:51:52 +0000 Lantana 986996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Sweetpotato and welcome. You have a very defined waist so I would agree that you are an hourglass. You'll find a mine of helpful hints here on how to dress that shape. Many forum members have also found it useful to pop over to Imogen's Inside Out Style. She has lots of clues about shape and proportions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/am-i-a-rectangle-apple#post-986995 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 21:48:15 +0000 marit 986995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I too would say primarily rectangle, secondary hourglass. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/am-i-a-rectangle-apple#post-986980 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 21:24:38 +0000 sweetpotato 986980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you! :)</p> <p>The picture is from my husband &amp; I's engagement photo..</p> <p>I am definitely short-waisted. From my hip to the floor, it's 36" and from my hip to my head, I'm 26"... It explains why petite pants usually don't fit me, even though I'm only 5'2" -3"&nbsp;tall. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/am-i-a-rectangle-apple#post-986976 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 21:20:20 +0000 Anonymous 986976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome! I think you look hourglassy too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/am-i-a-rectangle-apple#post-986974 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 21:18:29 +0000 sweetpotato 986974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aww.. Thank you. ^__^</p> <p>I figured I was a rectangle (plus size/ curvy) because my waist and hip measurements too similar to make me an hourglass... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/am-i-a-rectangle-apple#post-986973 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 21:18:23 +0000 Suz 986973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome to the forum! You are lovely-looking.&nbsp;</p> <p>It is tough to tell for sure from measurements and a clothed picture, but you look quite balanced. I would say rectangle with secondary hourglass, and you also look as if you are short waisted, although that might simply be what you are wearing or the angle of the photo.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/am-i-a-rectangle-apple#post-986972 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 21:14:27 +0000 CocoLion 986972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>...

Or, maybe my shoulders are broad enough to make me an inverted triangle?</p> <p>I really appreciate your comments!&nbsp;</p> <p>Thank you!&nbsp; </p> </p> <p>EDIT: I added some (unflattering) photos of me in exercise clothes... Hopefully they'll help..The waist band of the pants are hitting right at/above my belly button, at the thinnest part of my waist. You can see I get thicker below that, then thinner below that...</p>
