What am I ? Apple or rectangle ?

EM, the best way for us to tell you is if you can post a photo of yourself in something form-fitting, like leggings and a tank or cami. You can leave your head out of the photo if you like Stand with arms straight down. That's the easiest way to see your proportions.

I'd say primarily apple with a smidge of hourglass.

Going by this set of definitions I'd say you're an adorable apple.

Thanks for the pictures! Hmm. I was ready to say apple but I see a definite waistline, so I'm going to agree with Anna - apple with hourglass tendencies.

Welcome! First, let me say that you have a lovely figure - nice long legs! and a fantastic, warm smile! You should not be embarrassed by these photos at all, as you are gorgeous!

I see apple with hourglass tendencies, perhaps. Imogen Lampert has an hourglass called a figure 8, and I see. My sister is an apple shape and (as you can tell from Angie's guidelines for apples) she really doesn't have much of a waist at all and works to create one when she wants to look traditionally flattered. You, OTOH, do have a lovely waist! Perhaps not as defined as a traditional hourglass, but it's still there. So, I think you could take some ideas from both body types and see what works for you.

Thank you everyone ! This is very helpful.

Jenava - Thank you so much ! I have looked at Imogen's figure 8 and I think that could be it. I definitively have somewhat of a shelf, but my hips are very high so my waist looks non-existent.

I'll carefully read everything for apple and figure 8 and I hope I'll find clothes that better fits.
