Oval head is shaped more like an egg; oval on top. The oval neck is medium in length.

Round head is shaped more like a ball. The circle neck is shorter than the oval neck.

Square head is shaped more like a box; flatter planes. The square neck is shorter and wider than the triangle neck.

The rectangle neck is longer and not as wide.

Triangle head can be wide at top and narrow at jaw or vice-versa. The triangle neck is longer, or appears longer if jaw line is angled down to a V.

Shoulders are sloped down with smooth angle at base of neck and at shoulder points.

Shoulders have extra muscle at the base of neck and have rounder shoulder points.

Shoulders more square and straight across; square angle at neck and shoulder points.

Shoulders straighter across and broad in proportion to small waist.

Type 2 has full broad straight shoulder area which angles down to minimum waist.

Breasts are oval shaped. Chest is concave; dip in bone gives the appearance of more cleavage. Collarbone area is moderately smooth.

Breasts are circular shaped, fullness continues around under the arms. Chest area has more cleavage from round shape of breasts. Collarbone area is smoother because round flesh hides boniness.

Breasts are not as full, lines are not as curved. Chest area is more flat across; less cleavage.

Rectangle collarbone is more prominent on the longer body shape than on the shorter Square body shape.

Breasts are pyramid shaped, more perky and lifted. Chest is convex, fullness across breast-plate; less cleavage. Collarbone is distinctive and prominent.

Ribcage more oval than straight down.

Ribcage round and somewhat thicker.

Ribcage more straight up and down. Square boxy type ribcage is thicker.

Rectangular body ribcage is longer and more narrow.

Ribcage is V-shaped; the downward angle is easily seen from the back view.

Type 2 angles down into inverted triangle body line (so waist is not small)

Waist more medium with a smooth flowing oval curve.

Waist "shorter waisted" because space between breast and waist is less; waist is definitely small, but becomes covered over with weight gain (like two balls being pressed together.)

Waist has less indentation; the square boxy shape termed "short-waisted" is only because hipbone is right at waistline.

The longer rectangle body has hipbones right at waist also, but doesn't seem short-waisted because ribcage is longer.

Waist small in proportion to the hips and shoulders.

Type 2 Triangle shape has fuller waist but more narrow thighs as body angles down to ankles.

Back is slightly cylindrical from the side view.

Back is fuller and more rounded.

Back is flat and straight.

Back is straight; angles down to waistline.

Type 2 back is broader and thicker.

The key to the oval shape is low-set hipbones; the top of the hip is 2" lower than the waistline.

Circle shapes also have lower hipbones; the top of hip is 1½"- 2" lower than the waistline.

The square body shape has high-set hipbones right at the waistline.

Hipbones set high right at the waistline; therefore there is no hip-bone protrusion near the waist.

Rectangle has slight protrusion but hipbone is still set high at waistline.

Oval shape has oval line with a definite dip at side halfway between the hipbone and the thigh; the lower-set hipbones protrude.

Circle shape is rounder with a slight dip under hipbone as well, but this type is rounder in this area.

The square shape has less curve, more straight up and down lines with no dips; hipbone is right at waist so there is no lower hipbone to protrude and cause a curve.

Type 1 triangle thighs slant out. Since hipbone is right at waist there is no protrusion over the hip, so the line slants down to a full lower thigh.

Type 2 triangle has a fuller waist with narrow thighs.

Derriere has overall oval shape.

Derriere has round fuller shape; more Reubenesque.

Derriere is flatter, more straight down.

Type 1 has a fuller triangular shaped derriere.

Type 2 has broad fuller chest and back which angles down to narrow tapered hips with flatter derriere.

Arms have gradual smooth oval line.

Arms are curved; have a full fleshy spot at upper outer arm; the wrists are smaller.

Arm lines are less curved and more straight. Square boxy type has fuller arms, but still not curvy.

Rectangle arms are longer with slight curve.

Arms have straight taper to elbow, and then again a straight taper down to wrist.

Legs have a gradual oval-shaped line to the ankle. Knees are medium in size. Ankles medium, but the graceful oval curve of leg makes the ankles appear smaller.

Rounder lines on legs are more curved; slight indent under knee with fuller calf curving down to ankle. Knees smaller and rounded with slight curve under kneecap. Ankles small.

Square body type legs are more stocky. Knees medium. Ankles medium in size, less curve.

Rectangle legs are longer. Rectangle ankles are more slim than the stockier square type.

Legs have a straighter angled leg line which goes straight down to ankle with fullness through lower leg above ankle; no curve. Triangle legs and knees are fuller. Ankles larger; less curve indent.

Fingers and toes more oval shaped and longer. Palm area more oval shaped; longer. Feet more oval with a longer vamp from toe to heel.

Fingers and toes are bit more fleshy and round. Palm area more round. Ball of foot is rounder because of shorter vamp from toe to heel.

Fingers and toes more even across and square. Palm area more square than oval or round. Feet more square; shorter vamp from toe to heel.

Rectangle body differs from square; has longer fingers, palms, feet and vamp.

Ends of fingers and toes taper down to form angles; fingers are more pointed. Palm area more tent-like, not as flat. Feet has an angled high-instep and overall triangular shapes.
