				<description>&#060;p&#062;No, you're right Angie, it's a rubbish photo. I will take another one with the proper camera and be back!

&#060;p&#062;Butterflylady, ideally I need a head on front picture with your arms relaxed by your side. I can't judge your shoulder width from the picture at this point. Think you can manage another one? Sorry to be a mare.
&#060;/p&#062;

				<description>&#060;p&#062;I'd agree with hourglass with secondary pear, since your hips are slightly wider than your shoulders. You look great.  <span aria-hidden="true" class="emoticon emoticon-smile icon-emoticon-smile "></span>

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Don't worry, we're pretty gentle around here.   <span aria-hidden="true" class="emoticon emoticon-smile icon-emoticon-smile "></span>   I'm guessing an hourglass, but I'm bumping for Angie.   <span aria-hidden="true" class="emoticon emoticon-smile icon-emoticon-smile "></span>

				<description>&#060;p&#062;I think you might have something there, Alicat - reading that blog, I might be an 8 shape? As A line skirts really don't suit me at all, they make me look so wide it's frightening ... I'm finding this really confusing *sigh*

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Hi, you are so pretty!  To me you look like a low-hip hourglass, or X shape.  Here's some more info:&#060;/p&#062;

				<description>&#060;p&#062;You look like an hourglass to me.  It is a bit hard to tell though without a straight front photo.

				<description>&#060;p&#062;First, I think you look great in the swimsuit.  You have a really nice shape and appear very solid which is wonderful especially in swimwear.&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;It looks like you may be an hourglass but it might help if you provided the measurements.  Most hourglasses have about 8-10&#034; difference between the waist and low hip measurement.  I looked at the very top of the shoulder and compared to the widest point on the hip by using the distance to the edge of the mirror.  Although this may not be accurate if you aren't standing straight, it does appear that your shoulders and hips are very similar in width which is also a characteristic of the hourglass.
&#060;/p&#062;

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Thank you - I have edited the title to say 'Ask Angie'!&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;It was really hard to take the picture - I might have another go with my camera (I was using my phone) and put it on timer mode.

				<description>&#060;p&#062;I can't see one side of your waist (the camera is in the way!), but I'm wondering if you are an hourglass?  I see some indentation on the one side of your waist that's making me think you do have a waist....plus what you said about clothes that fit your hips being too big at the waist.  Perhaps an hourglass with a tendency toward IT? &#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;Congratulations on posting a photo!  I know it's unnerving that first time, but that bathing suit looks really nice on you (both the cut and the color).&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;I'm sure more people will weigh in soon.  And if you edit your posting title to have &#034;Ask Angie:&#034; at the beginning she'll be sure to weigh in with her expert opinion.   <span aria-hidden="true" class="emoticon emoticon-smile icon-emoticon-smile "></span>

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Ooh, thank you, wasn't expecting that!&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;ETA  I've just read Angie's blog posts, and she talks about slim hips and legs for an IT, and those I don't have. I have hips the same width as my shoulders and chunky thighs/short legs. Clothes that fit my hips are normally too big at the waist.
&#060;/p&#062;

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Please be gentle with me - I feel hugely brave posting this photo (in a swimsuit - aarrgh!!), as I am having real issues with my body at the moment. I have lost 4 pounds, but have another 14 or so to go.&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;I *think* I might be a rectangle? Or an hourglass?&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;Thank you, in advance.
&#060;/p&#062;
