well, Angie has the final say on body types around here, but I'm going to take a stab at it to see how I do
You look slightly hourglass and slightly rectangular to me. Maybe a rectangular hourglass?

I think so too, hourglass with rectangle tendencies? If you can post your measurements, or just think about them yourself, it might help. I think the general rule is less than 9 or 10" (between bust-waist-hips) is closer to rectangle.

Welcome to the forum! Thanks for posting your pic, but I need your legs straight in order to see the silhouette of your body! Think you can post another picture?

I had my DH take them this time. Hopefully my sihouette is more clear

Thank you, DH! You have a very similar body to me :0). You are slap bang in the middle of hourglass and rectangle. A straight-ish hourglass is what I like to say. I use a lot of the rectangle guidelines though, just because I seem to be getting straighter. I look forward to seeing more of you and your style, ladyjane.

Thank you Angie! I'm definitely getting straighter. I appreciate it so much that you were able to clariify my body shape. I've reviewed the racy rectangle guidelines: belted jackets and coats, tops & dresses with ruching, pencil skirts ...yes those are flattering for me. I will have to experiment with a wider belt. I've avoided belts as they seem to thicken me but mine are all thin. Thanks again.
