Please help me figure out my body type

banananutmuffin

I've always believed I'm an "apple." I have a tummy pooch (my problem area), wear a 34D bra, slimmer thighs and a flat, flat butt. But maybe I'm wrong? What do you think?

I think you look fantastic, BM!!

It's a bit hard to tell without your arms down to your side, but I don't really see apple here, maybe rectangular tendencies? Are your shoulders about the same width as your hips?

Cute dresses on you!! This is what really helped me, I took a full length picture of myself (wearing underwear) using a tripod, from a distance away so it is not distorted. Then I print the picture out and trace over it with a pen using a thin tracing paper or paper held against a window so it is backlit.

That's how I figured out I was a classic hourglass shape. It's hard to tell sometimes just looking in the mirror.

Idk, BNM! I see some waist defintion there. If you are an apple you are doing a great job of dressing to create a waistline!
PS. Those dresses look AWESOME on you!

I think you might be an apply under Angie's guidelines, or an "H" under the guidelines of Imogen Lamport at insideoutstyleblog.com. That's what I am (poochy belly, skinny legs, flat butt, not as blessed as you in the chest, skinny arms, not a lot of waist curve. )

I cannot tell in the first picture because the sleeve is a little distracting. In the second it looks like your shoulders might be wider than your hips, which would mean you're an "inverted triangle".

First you have a lovely figure! The first dress looks amazing on you.. I say also inverted triangle because you have slim hips!

Welcome to the forum! You rock those dresses.

I'd say inverted triangle too.

Wow! I never thought Inverted Triangle before, but now that I think about it, it makes perfect sense! (Cap sleeves always make me look like a linebacker.) Hmmmmm... I've never read the tips for dressing a triangle. Now I'm going to have to check them out!
