Shoulders balanced with hips, less than 10" difference between waist and bust or hip. </p> <p>You might read through the rectangle guidelines and see if the offers any ideas that sound promising to you. If some of the suggestions remind you of clothes you have loved, then you're probably on the right track. Check the hourglass guidelines, too.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-am-i-a-true-rectangle#post-1279982 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 04:09:49 +0000 bullermom 1279982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely! Once I'm a full-fledged member I will post some larger pics. I've never heard of photobucket but I will look into it! :-). My shoulders are 41" around. I hope that helps! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-am-i-a-true-rectangle#post-1279732 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 00:14:09 +0000 Gigi 1279732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, we're no help at all. I was going to say you look like a rectangle, but Joy has a good point. Maybe you'd like to wait until you become a full-fledged member and then post some larger pics? Or if you can upload some pics to an external website (like Photobucket), you could link to them now and not have to wait. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-am-i-a-true-rectangle#post-1279717 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 00:06:09 +0000 Suz 1279717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>From what we can see, I'd say you are a rectangle or possibly a slim hourglass. Or smack dab in the middle, like me. &nbsp;:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-am-i-a-true-rectangle#post-1279699 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 23:41:10 +0000 Anonymous 1279699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I suspect that the top you are wearing in your photo is making you look more rectangular than you are. Your shoulders look broad. I'm guessing that you are an hourglass. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-am-i-a-true-rectangle#post-1279695 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 23:33:05 +0000 Mo 1279695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Similar to what Janet said, I have measurements almost identical to yours and I'm an hourglass, so numbers help but photos are the true test. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-am-i-a-true-rectangle#post-1279686 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 23:19:05 +0000 cciele 1279686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hm, I don't think she can post full-size pics yet! But from what I see, you look rectangle-ish to me.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-am-i-a-true-rectangle#post-1279682 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 23:14:33 +0000 Janet 1279682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think photos tell the story more than numbers. Can you post a larger full-length version of your profile photo? For instance, my measurements are similar to Ceit, and I'm also very elliptical, but somehow I'm more hourglass/pear than she is.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-am-i-a-true-rectangle#post-1279646 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 22:14:17 +0000 Anonymous 1279646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Squinting at your teeny photo, you look fairly similar to me, and I am a rectangle. I am 35-29-39, elliptical (wider from the front and flat to the side), 5'7", 135lbs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-am-i-a-true-rectangle#post-1279639 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 22:08:38 +0000 rachylou 1279639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not Angie - but do you have your shoulder-width measurement? That matters a lot in terms of actual silhouette. But from the hip v. waist measurement, you don't sound like a rectangle... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-am-i-a-true-rectangle#post-1279627 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 21:49:20 +0000 bullermom 1279627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Angie! I am trying to figure out my body type. I thought I was a rectangle, but it says that it is a rare body type, so maybe I'm not. I don't know how to post a photo to your forum so I added a photo as my profile picture, but my measurements are 34 bust, 27 waist, and 36 hips. In my opinion, I look better from the side and in a good pair of jeans than anything else. I am 5' 5.5" and about 130 lbs. I have a high clavicle, long neck, pixie cut, and about a hand and a half between the bottom of my chest and my belly button. I don't know if that will help to determine shape or not, but I could sure use some help. I am attending a wedding this summer and am struggling to find a dress that I like. I've been doing online shopping because I have 3 boys 5 and under and spending lots of time trying clothes on at the mall just isn't in the cards. I don't want to buy something online that will certainly look horrid. I appreciate your help! </p>
