Body shape help! (with photo)

somewhere in between, I think. Does it really matter how your body-type is labeled?
Me? I'm sort of shaped like a bagel.
 
Thanks for the reply:). Lol I'm sure you're not shaped like a bagel. It's not too important but I would like to know due to dress choice and what would be flattering on me. Any other opinions would be gladly appreciated:)

Um? What about asking for assistance in the stores you shop at? What do they say?
 
Get a friend to go with you. Or look at yourself in the mirror and think about what parts of your body you like, hate, or don't mind- get clothes to emphasise what you like, hide what you hate, and somewhere in between for "don't mind". (for example, I hate my thighs so should be wearing clothes to hide them, so wear neutral colours on the bottom- maybe something loose, like an A-line skirt- and brighter colours on the top, more fitting, to draw attention to my chest, which I like, and my waist, which is ok but better looking at that than my thighs. I've never had any "advice" about this, this is just something I've figured out on my own)

I haven't looked at your picture- it's something you need to figure out on your own, I think. Based on your feelings about your body which I can't account for.
 
Thanks for the advice Amy. I am just looking for a straight 'you look like a pear' etc kind of answers, but i appreciate the effort and detail of your reply;)
 
Watch "Trinny and Susannah" or the American equivalent - I forget the name but they have better taste, to my mind. Less tarty than the British take on it, but both have some really good principles. The ones that I've taken to most are:
ALWAYS dark wash jeans, never lighter colours, AND always boot cut!
V-NECKLINES to give length to the neck, and
DON'T emphasise your faults - be honest with yourself and if you don't have a waist, skim over it with your clothes and draw attention elsewhere. We big girls can usually flash a nice cleavage!
