It looks to me like you're an hourglass, but we'll wait for the experts to weigh in!

I think you look a bit pearish.

I think hourglass, but I am not an expert.
For the record you have a lovely figure, so don't be so hard on your self

welcome eff, and very brave! you look mostly hourglass to me, with some pear as a secondary type. at some point you will want to evaluate your figure including your whole height (head to toes) as this influences your proportions.

As Aunty said, you do have a very pretty figure, and you'll have a lot of fun dressing it!! you can play up your hourglass 'vavavavoom' aspects quite easily for fun, but with a nicely proportioned bust you can also tone down the 'yowza!' vibe without too much fuss for business or other occasions. lucky you! have fun, steph

You look like a pear to me. And hey, you so do NOT need to lose weight AT ALL. Don't worry about that

I think pear as well because it looks like your shoulders are a little narrower than your hips. You have a great defined waist and slim figure (do not need to lose weight!). You should dress to emphasize your midsection/waist!

Thanks everyone! For all the help and/or boosts. I thought I looked sort of like a cross between hourglass and pear, so I wasn't sure which category I fell into. As for my height I am 5'7 and (I think) I weigh between 130-135. I usually wear a size 5 or 7. What type of clothing would best suit my shape?

I would start with Angie's posts on hourglasses (http://youlookfab.com/2010/05/.....type-2010/) and pears (http://youlookfab.com/2010/04/.....type-2010/). You can see all of her body type posts here: http://youlookfab.com/category/body-type/
