Body type? (photos included)

bigi

Hi everyone,
I found this site a few days ago, what a great resource! I'm hoping you can help me figure out what body type I am from these photos (oops, I need a new bra and a less clingy top). Do I have a long waist? Also, I was wondering if it's possible to tell from my photos if I have thick or thin bones (I have no idea how that is determined, I'm just curious). I appreciate your help!

Welcome Bigi! You look like an hourglass to me, but I am no expert, so maybe wait for some other opinions as well!!

Welcome Bigi! You have a lovely figure. I guessing you are somewhere between an hourglass and a rectangle with a strong shoulder line. Your waist looks high. As far as bone structure, someone else may be able to tell you how it's determined...probably from measurements at wrist or ankle. You don't look big boned though.

Hi Bigi! My take is that you're a rectangle. WE have the same shape but I'm smaller in the bust. If I put on any weight, it goes to my belly and, whoa, the apple rears its head! I'm short-waisted, too, and I've learned from this site, to sit my belts higher on the smallest part. It's magical! I look 5 lbs. thinner! I'd love to hear Angie's take!

Welcome to our forum and good job on posting pics so soon! You are slap bang in the middle of an hourglass and a rectangle (so am I actually). You look long-waisted but not terribly so. Does that assessment sound right to you?

Thanks for clearing things up for me, ladies! I have seen sort of a waistless hourglass in the mirror, and it didn't make sense to me. Also, my parents didn't get it quite right when they made me, so the bum went to the belly area, ha ha. I think I have considered every body type, except the rectangle. Don't know why I didn't think of that. It all made sense when you mentioned rectangle. Off to read some more about it. Thanks again!
