I too would say hourglass with rectangle tendencies. The cut of your clothing will bring one or the other to the fore. I really don’t have much of a waist, but I’m not willowy and have toothpick ankles, so I don’t think of myself as that rectangular. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-shape-confusion-2#post-1873573 Mon, 01 Jan 2018 06:06:01 +0000 Anonymous 1873573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd go with hourglass because of your shoulders.. You may have to experiment with what you feel best wearing. At the moment, I have similar measurements and consider myself a rectangle with IT and apple tendencies. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-shape-confusion-2#post-1873570 Mon, 01 Jan 2018 05:01:36 +0000 Em 1873570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello! I’ve been searching this for a while, but unfortunately no one seems to have run into this problem. I have so many different body shape suggestions, and I really can’t settle on one. I’m pretty average elsewhere (I’m 5’4 and 135lbs), and my measurements are: Shoulders: 38, Bust: 34, Waist: 28, Hips: 38. Based on that, I either hear that I’m a pear or a neat hourglass. However, if I just measure the width, I get: Shoulders: 16, Bust: 17, Waist: 14, Hips: 16. That usually gets me the rectangle shape suggestion. I can only really see a figure from the back, in the front there’s not as much waist definition. Does anyone else have this issue? </p>
