Body type help please :) - YouLookFab Forum

You'd think I would be able to figure this out but I am stuck. I feel like I could fit almost every catagory!

I think my shoulders are slightly wider than my hips but I don't think my hips are narrow enough for inverted triangle.

Rectangle? I do have some definition in the waist but not a whole lot and definitely do have curve in the hips.

I feel apple-ish because of major fluffy bits in the middle that you can't see in the photo. And there's no way I'm posting a side view! If I gain weight it goes straight to my stomach area.

I have a flat bust and flat bottom so I don't feel like I'm an hourglass even though I know that it has more to do with shoulder width compared to hips. But again, not a super defined waist like most hourglasses.

I'm pretty sure I'm not a pear but sometimes I feel like I am if I'm only looking at my bottom half.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'd like to find out what I'm supposed to be wearing but my main concern will always be disguising the midsection. Thanks!

You look like a slender hourglass to me, but if your concerns with dressing are about your midsection, you should read the suggestions for apples. I suspect that anything that draws the eye up to your pretty face (Love your expression!) would be a plus.

You look like an slim and pretty hourglass to me.

I have the same issues with my midsection and do a lot of surrendering the waist to conceal it.

@ Joy - thanks for the compliment and your help. I had to laugh a little because I always look horrible in pictures!

@Alaskagirl - I'm not very comfortable with surrending the waist yet. I feel like it makes me look bigger than I am but maybe my eye is just not used to it. I definitely feel more relaxed in tops that are looser though since I am not worried about my stomach pooching out the whole time!
