This is very helpful.</p> <p>Jenava - Thank you so much ! I have looked at Imogen's figure 8 and I think that could be it. I definitively have somewhat of a shelf, but my hips are very high so my waist looks non-existent.</p> <p>I'll carefully read everything for apple and figure 8 and I hope I'll find clothes that better fits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-am-i-apple-or-rectangle#post-1168815 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 00:24:30 +0000 Jenava 1168815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome! &nbsp;First, let me say that you have a lovely figure - nice long legs! &nbsp;and a fantastic, warm smile! &nbsp;You should not be embarrassed by these photos at all, as you are gorgeous!</p> <p>I see apple with hourglass tendencies, perhaps. &nbsp;Imogen Lampert has an hourglass called a figure 8, and I see. &nbsp;My sister is an apple shape and (as you can tell from Angie's guidelines for apples) she really doesn't have much of a waist at all and works to create one when she wants to look traditionally flattered. &nbsp;You, OTOH, do have a lovely waist! &nbsp;Perhaps not as defined as a traditional hourglass, but it's still there. &nbsp;So, I think you could take some ideas from both body types and see what works for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-am-i-apple-or-rectangle#post-1168813 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 00:18:13 +0000 April 1168813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the pictures! &nbsp;Hmm. &nbsp;I was ready to say apple but I see a definite waistline, so I'm going to agree with Anna - apple with hourglass tendencies. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-am-i-apple-or-rectangle#post-1168774 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 23:06:11 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1168774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Going by <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2006/04/18/the-body-type-%E2%80%9Cbalancing-act%E2%80%9D/" rel="nofollow">this set of definitions</a> I'd say you're an adorable apple. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-am-i-apple-or-rectangle#post-1168773 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 23:01:31 +0000 annagybe 1168773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd say primarily apple with a smidge of hourglass. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-am-i-apple-or-rectangle#post-1168772 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 22:59:56 +0000 EveMarie 1168772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I posted some pictures.
