				<description>&#060;p&#062;Well first I'd say you look damn good for someone who delivered twins!&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;I'd *guess* Rectangle/H Shape (I'm one too, and can't bear the T&#038;amp;S term &#034;Brick,&#034; ha -- though &#034;Bread Loaf&#034; I could take!).&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;In general you look really &#034;straight&#034; to me. Your shoulders do look a smidge wider than your hips, but IIRC some body type guides give a +/- 5% on that. &#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;One thing I'll say about a Rectangle shape...I find it pretty easy to throw my shape towards an Inverted Triangle or a Triangle/Pear when in the mood to play with proportions! I usually aim for (barely indented!) Hourglass, and now that I have clothing combos that work fairly well for that my life is a lot easier.&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;Have you looked at Angie's body shape/clothing guides yet?
&#060;/p&#062;

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Rectangle, I guess. Maybe with some secondary type.
&#060;/p&#062;

				<description>&#060;p&#062;It looks like we need Angie's help on this one! I don't know if she's on the forum much right now, but hopefully at some point she can sort you!

				<description>&#060;p&#062;At first glance, I immediately thought rectangle. I'm somewhat of a rectangle myself. Imogen on her blog, Inside Out Style, has a series on body type that shows real people as examples. I think it's always hardest to type oneself but  you might give it a look.
&#060;/p&#062;

				<description>&#060;p&#062;You look like an inverted triangle to me because it appears like your shoulders are wider than your hips otherwise I would have said rectangle.

				<description>&#060;p&#062;my guess would be hourglass.&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;Sorry that your post seemed to get buried.  I remember seeing this before but must have not had time to comment at the moment.

				<description>&#060;p&#062;I'd really like your opinions on what my body type is.  At first, I was thinking it may be Apple, but now that I'm looking at the body shape bible, I'm thinking the Brick (rectangle) or the Cello (hourglass).&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;My shoulders so appear to be slightly larger than my hips, my bust is average, or slightly bigger, my waist is definitely a problem area and my legs are not great.  I can handle them from the knee down, but the upper part is not pretty.  &#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;Its hard to tell from this picture, but my stomach sticks out a fair bit (I feel like I look pregnant) and I have a lot of sagging skin from my pregnancy with my twins.  Its hard to hide unless I wear long tops, but then my torso looks even shorter.&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;So, here I am.  Excuse the no makeup and hair not done.&#060;br /&#062;
