What is my body shape? Rectangle? Apple?

Having recently lost weight after having finished having babies, I'm starting from scratch style wise. But I can't seem to work out my body shape. I'm 5'7, weigh
9 stone 7, I'm a size 8-10, generally nearer a 10. I have a bit of a mum tum, which makes me think I'm maybe an apple, but I do think I could also be described as a rectangle. I just want to know so that I can start to dress for my new figure better.

What do you think? Not the best photos sorry! I don't have many where I don't have a child on my hip!

@9Stone7 what helped me in terms of finding out my shape was having a free
appointment with the personal stylist at John Lewis. I’d recommend it.

We need to see you from the back, feet together, arms by your sides, shoulders in full view, standing straight.

Slim apple?

Where were the photos taken?

i think you look straight up & down, is that a rectangle?

Honestly, just get a tape measure and work out your bust, waist and hip measurements( you can add in lower hip and shoulder measurements for more precision). There are various guides on line once you know your measurements. Also get a properly fitted bra and underwear.

It's hard as your hair means I can't see your shoulders so can't compare the width of them to your hips and waist. When you put weight on, where does it go first, too.

Plenty of body shape calculators online that will tell you this once you input your measurements.

I think you’re the same as me, inverted triangle.

Game0fCrones · 04/02/2025 18:21

I'll second inverted triangle.

You're upper body dominant.

9Stone7 · 04/02/2025 20:39

Inverted triangle! I think you're right, thanks.
