				<description>&#060;p&#062;Wow you are getting answers all over the place!  I hope Angie chimes in.&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;My guess is that you are an hourglass with pear tendencies.&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;And I also want to add that you look in perfect proportions and very fit!
&#060;/p&#062;

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Welcome Kate! I'm not the expert either, but based on these pics, I would say you are an hourglass with pear tendencies. Lovely figure! You don't need to worry on that account. Look at Angie's guidelines for both of those and see what you think!
&#060;/p&#062;

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Ah thanks, Kate!&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;I'm not the expert here either, but I would say hourglass mixed with rectangle. You have a fab figure!

				<description>&#060;p&#062;hmm I'm not sure...From the front view, I think you look like a rectangle with maybe pear as secondary. From the side, I think you look more curvy. I think in terms of dressing, you should probably check out rectangle/pear guidelines. In any case, you look great!
&#060;/p&#062;

				<description>&#060;p&#062;You look great! And welcome. I think you might primarily be an hourglass. I look forward to seeing some more of your posts!

				<description>&#060;p&#062;I'm no expert... but with your shoulders close to the same width as your hips and the 10 inch difference between your hips and waist, I'm guessing hourglass.... maybe with rectangle as a secondary.
&#060;/p&#062;

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Hi Kate and welcome!  I am able to see the first picture but not the second.  You look fairly rectangular to me.  I'm guessing though that as you lose the baby weight we'll see more of your hourglass figure come through.
&#060;/p&#062;

				<description>&#060;p&#062;I say you are a pear with rectangle tendencies but I can only see one of the pics (the first one) and I am also a newbie! Interested to see what everyone else will say. Welcome!

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Thank you all, hopefully the above links will help.   From what I've read on this forum so far, everyone here seems so kind and sincere--that is so refreshing! =)&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;My pictures are not the greatest, but I had a three year old as my photographer.

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Welcome!&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;Unfortunately, measurements don't give enough info because body shape has a lot to do with how your shoulders line up with your hips.  Seeing pics will help us figure it out, as soon as you can post them.   <span aria-hidden="true" class="emoticon emoticon-smile icon-emoticon-smile "></span>

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Welcome Kate!  I can relate to the post-baby gain...don't worry too much!  All in time - and you're right, it's best to dress for your shape now to look your best.&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;From your measurements, you sound like an Hourglass to me, but it would help to see a pic when you're able to post one!

				<description>&#060;p&#062;A big welcome to the forum Kate!!&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;You do need to be an active member (takes about 10 days) before you can directly post pictures on the forum, but if you like you can use a service like Photobucket in the meantime to upload your pics and post the link to the photos here?&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;Looking forward to seeing your posts!

				<description>&#060;p&#062;I see now there is a 10 day wait time before posting photos is enabled. I'll come back later.

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Brand new here, but loving it so far.  I am in desperate need of help identifying my body type.  It's about darn time I learn to buy clothes that will actually look good on ME--not the hanger, my sister, or a supermodel.   So here goes...&#060;br /&#062;
I'm 5' 5 1/2&#034;   weigh somewhere around 140 right now--I've had two babies in the past three years, with complications that caused major weight gain the first time around, I haven't lost all that weight. I'm also still breastfeeding.  I weighed 125 before I got pregnant the first time, so I suppose (and hope) it's possible that I could work to that weight again, but I'm learning to accept and work with what I am now.    =)&#060;br /&#062;
My current measurements:&#060;br /&#062;
bust 34&#060;br /&#062;
waist 28&#060;br /&#062;
hips 38&#060;br /&#062;
as you can see, I'm &#034;generous&#034; in the hind department; it's all genetics, I've accepted it.&#060;/p&#062;
