If I am this shape what should I wear...

I'm 5ft 5, broad shouldered, muscular with a large frame. I think the woman in the picture is taller than me and has bigger boobs but my thighs are more muscular and defined (and bigger, lucky me!). The only bit of me that goes in, is just under my rib cage and I'm carrying some love handles above my hips. I have literally no curves.

I really struggle to find flattering clothes and I seem to look the size of a house in pictures even though I'm only a 10/12. What sort of shapes do you think would suit me?

Would you say you are a rectangle shape?

Re tangle

If so, this article may be able to help. It describes the shape and suitable clothes.

Definitely a rectangle - kind of like a breeze block.

Thanks, I'll take a look.

Thank you! Reading that I'm more of an "inverted triangle" although I don't have much inversion. A rectangle with a wide bit at the top. I feel so massive at the moment but I'm not fat. My stomach is flat and I have a 4 pack. I'm just wide. I feel ungainly and unfeminine.

You could wear anything with a body like that! I'd walk around in a bikini if I had a figure like that.

Crop tops are in at the moment and they would look perfect on you.
