I'm gonna guess inverted triangle.

I would agree with Kim on the inverted triangle.

And another inverted triangle nod from me! Hourglass is secondary. Great to see you post pictures Megan. Well done :0)

We welcome yet another fab Australian to our forum.

Thanks- that's definitely not what I would've put myself at- I must spend too much time focussing on my butt!

Now I definitely don't know what to wear!!!!

Megan, have you tried taking pictures when the camera is at waist height? I have a feeling that the camera "looking down" on your body ends up accentuating your shoulders a bit more than it would if the pictures were taken more straight on.

Megan

That's a good idea Kate- my boyfriend was taking the pictures for me. I'll ask him to retake them tonight from waist height.

My shoulders are a bit wider than my hips though and my boy's comment on the pictures was that he thought they made me look wider through my hips than I actually am.

I was also going to say I think the angle is exaggerating your shoulders.

I thought of that too, actually. But You still have a strong shoulder line.

Megan

Hi all,

yep, shoulders wider than hips (but only just). I wouldn't have picked inverted triangle because of my waist to hip ratio- I definitely have a curvy rear!
