not sure what my body type is

debo

I am not sure what my body type is - and I have recently gained weight (a good thing). However, my bra size changed and it is really making it hard for me to figure out what I am... I do not have a recent photo, so I will have to look into that to post. I am 5'3" 110lb, thin - I am sort of between a 0 and a 2 right now and definitely cannot wear 'curvy' clothing. I was fitted recently for new bras and a 32D does really well. My waist is about 25 inches and hips are 32-33 inches. (I do not have a measuring tape, so I am using a yard stick so I went generous instead of close on measurements). I have always been told that "style" is not my thing... but I have decided that I am going to learn. I get lots of compliments on my outfits, but I really stress them and want it to be easier.

Oh, I love body type posts! You need to share a little bit more, like where you gain weight and a full body photo, with a straight angle and fitted clothes/bikini/underwear. Weight, size and measurements don't say a lot about body shape :/

I will have to take a photo - hm, I do not own a swim suit at all currently, so not sure what I can use that is very fitted. Since this is the first time I have really gained weight, I would say in the chest area and maybe through the waist. I will try to take a photo in the next day or two - leaving tomorrow for a MUCH needed break out of town!!! hm, would a slip and camisole work?

Yes, it can be a tight tank top and leggings or something like that.

Ok, I put on a skirt and shirt that I wore a lot before I gained the second round of weight. My hair is wet and no make-up, and ignore the packing in the back, but see if this helps.
hm, how do I attach a pic - or since I have only been on the forum 24 hrs can I not upload my own pics?

You can upload it to photobucket or imgur, and post the link here.

Ok, I hope this helps. If not, I will try to think of something else. Thanks a ton!!!

Hi Debo. I think you are an hourglass!

Greetings, Debo! I see an hourglass, too. It's possible that the stripes in your skirt and wallpaper are throwing off my eye a bit -- you have a beautiful, strong shoulder line. It's possible you have a bit of "IT tendencies."

That said, I don't often shop or dress with my body type in the front of my mind. Instead, I think of repeating successful silhouettes and proportions. Taking a quick pic of your outfits for awhile -- either to post here, or just for your own benefit --- can give you an idea of the combinations that work best for your body type as well as your lifestyle.
