Ask Angie: body type?

Anonymous

Angie,
How can I post a picture of myself to figure out my body type? Do I need to use a computer instead of a mobile device?

Edited: NEVER MIND I found the active member instructions !

Hourglass! You will have to wear some wrap dresses for me (I’m too straight to wear them but love the look)

So not a pear or triangle ?

I'd probably go with an hourglass with a strong shoulder line. It's a bit hard to tell, because the cold shoulder top might be creating an optical illusion.

Did you ask about pear or triangle because you've thought you were those shapes?

Liz, yes I might need to get a different shirt, that was just the only fitted one I had.
And I Just always thought that because my bust is medium I didn’t have an hourglass figure but I am learning more

Beautiful figure! I'd say you are a pear because your shapely hips appear to be the most prominent part of your silhouette

Looks like X hourglass. (Shoulders and hips the same)

I would say you are an X hourglass.

Your shoulders are slightly wider than your hips, so you might have a bit of a secondary triangle shape (most people are a blend of body types). But you are definitely not a pear, because for a pear, the shoulders are not as wide as the hips.

Ok here are pics without cut outs in shoulders. If I have triangle tendencies do I dress for a triangle or hourglass?

Your hips are prominent and really noticeable! I think you have a pear shaped body.

I do not agree with pear assessments because you have a strong shoulder line. Your shape is similar to mine when I was younger and slimmer, but my shoulders are not quite as strong as yours (I tend to carry weight more in the low hip, but that's changing with age, and my waist is not as small as it was). I've always related most to hourglass/pear dressing guidelines.
