Need help with Body Type pictures Included.

I'm needing help with figuring out my body type. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. I did have my second baby 6 months ago and still have some baby weight, I am bf so I doubt I lose it until she stops. Thanks for the help.

Sweet! My vote is hourglass with a secondary apple.

You are adorable and I love your hair. And I agree with the others - hourglass with secondary apple!

Thanks. I feel like a mess so being called adorable and sweet is not at all what i expected. I know I'm curvy and postpartum always leans towards apple so hourglass with secondary apple that makes sense.

Oh my goodness . . . of *course* you're adorable! Your smile lights up the room in that photo. You may feel like a mess, but you feel lively and likable! (And have great hair. )

Thank you Liz for the kind words. I do love my hair so thanks for all the complements. So I have a couple questions about my shape. I have read Angie's post on the hot hourglass and adorable apple. I have been surrendering the waistline which I think helps because I think I have a short waist and defining it seem to emphasize that and make my bust and hips look even bigger, not something I want. So I've been wearing a lot of flowy tops and skinny ankle jeans typically topped by a cardigan and paired flats. I have issues with my bum. It's very high and curvy on the top and not so much on the bottom, not really sure what to do with this? It does work well in dresses though it make my legs look long. I guess what I'm asking is what should I wear? Most skirts and dresses are out because they define my waist too much. I'll try to post some outfits I wear and maybe you can give me some pointers. Thanks

I agree with the others on your body type -- and the fact that you hardly look a mess! Your hair is so carefree and modern, hardly baby-mama hair! And an hourglass is such wonderfully feminine and balanced body type, I think you Angie's archived posts are a perfect place to gain some ideas on dressing the "transitional" body of a bf mom.

Your go-to "formulas" sound perfect. I think, however, you can and should feel free to define your waist. The wrap dress looks great to my eye!

You strike me as a Figure 8 hourglass.

I would think the same as the others--hourglass with apple secondary.
