Help: which body type am I?

Nena

I've posted here before but I lost a little bit of weight and want to know if my body type changed. Which body type am I? Do I have a secondary type?

Hourglass, perhaps? It might help to be not quite so zoomed in on the photo though.

hi nena you look like an hourglass but bumping for more opinions wiser than mine.

I agree that a photo that isn't zoomed in so close would be helpful, but from what I can see here, I would suggest a figure 8 hourglass.

You sure look like an hourglass to me.

So what kind of photo should I post?
I have big boobs and a little pooch, my butt is small so that's why I was doubting if I'm an apple, inverted triangle or hourglass. Or a rectangle with big boobs. With some clothes I feel top heavy and I don't have big hips like a typical hourglass.

You are an hourglass. Roughly equivalent shoulders and hips with a dipped waist. A rectangle goes straight down with no waist dip. An apple has bigger hips than shoulders. An inverted triangle has smaller hips than shoulders.

ironkurtin, I thought that inverted triangles and apples were top heavy. Thank you for you comment.

I have so many doubts about how to dress my body shape. If I don't cinch the waist, I look top heavy and if I do cinch it I look slimmer and more proportionate but sometimes I think the "curvaceous" siluette makes me look older or not so "modern" style-wise.

Waist cinching to compliment your figure is a number one hourglass trait.

This might be helpful for dressing tips. I think you are probably a figure 8 hourglass because you seem to have the high "shelf" hip (I am this body shape).

Gigi, that was indeed really helpful! I asked in her forum and she answered I'm an 8 shape for sure. I'm taking notes!
