On your other thread you were asking about how to disguise the apple midsection, so in order to do that you need to ignore some of the suggestions for hourglass shapes even though you are technically an hourglass. It all depends on whether you want to show your curves or minimize them.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Traci</b> dresses brilliantly and always looks amazing so you might want to check out some of her WIW posts.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pls-help-me-work-out-my-body-shape#post-1665260 Sun, 22 May 2016 13:20:49 +0000 Traci 1665260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think we have similar builds. I consider myself an apple with hourglass secondary. I find the apple guidelines most helpful because I'm more inclined to try to cover or balance my belly. Recognizing the hourglass just helps me make sense of things like why a scoop neck works better on me than a V. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pls-help-me-work-out-my-body-shape#post-1665237 Sun, 22 May 2016 12:35:03 +0000 Staysfit 1665237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with the above.

You have a definite waist and shoulders look like they balance hips. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pls-help-me-work-out-my-body-shape#post-1665220 Sun, 22 May 2016 11:57:57 +0000 rachylou 1665220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree, an 8 hourglass, meaning you've got visual weight at the high hip...a sharper in-out at the curve. Apple tendencies... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pls-help-me-work-out-my-body-shape#post-1665189 Sun, 22 May 2016 10:15:40 +0000 mamacandoit 1665189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I finally got round to taking some pictures.<br /> Pls could you help me determine what my body shape is.<br /> I believe it's hourglass but my tummy is very large as are my hip pads.<br /> Thank you. </p>
