Am I a 8 or a X hourglass ?

Dolores

Hi there

I am struggling to find my exact body type so I might need your help
I font that I have some love handles and a hip dip (which I am very self conscious about) but on the other hand, my low hips seems to be the largest point of my lowest body.
What do you think ?

Thank you very much

look most like an hourglass to me. An 8 would have the widest part of lower body at the hips that jut out closer to waist and then pretty straight down from there.

Welcome to the forum, Dolores. From your picture and your comment about your low hips as the largest point of your lower body, I'm guessing you're an X hourglass with a lovely defined waist. Typically, but not always, X hourglass shapes have shorter legs in relation to their upper bodies. That's why pants/jeans may pull accross the crotch area.

From your pofile photo you look like a slim hourglass.

Please consider to put some info into your profile. This is a great way of introducing yourself to the forum, plus it might make it easier for others to give you more specific advice. You might enjoy reading others' profiles.

I think you’re definitely an X hourglass. It’s a gentle sloping to the hips. I think the 8 has a ‘higher hip.’

I think you are an X. I agree with Vildy.

Dolores

The cat : thank you very much for all your informations, I will upload more photos as soon as I can just so you can get a better idea

And you're right, I need to introduce myself into my profile !

Dolores

Vildy : okay, I see ! Thank you very much for your answer

Nuancedream : Thank you You're right, I think I am long-waisted

Rachylou and Gigi : thank you as well !

Hi Delores, I agree you are an X.

Dolores

Thank you Lily, what makes you say that ?

Dolores

Hi

I don’t know if that changes anything but I thought it could help to get a better picture

Thank you

Again, you look like an X, not an 8. You don't have those high hips which are characteristic for an 8.

Hi Dolores I agree with The Cat. A slim X hourglass I would think.
I have hip dips too.
