Yes, they're 6000 feet tall, and the circumference of a toothpick, but what's their *next* defining feature? That's right - shoulders! The rest of us are all whining and moaning about how our breasts or our tummies or our hips are messing with the line of the drape - but inverted triangles wear the clothes like goddesses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2nd-try-body-type-help#post-201446 Mon, 16 Aug 2010 21:34:14 +0000 Alison 201446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I must have missed "statuesque" - not a word I have thought of in relation to myself before! I will have to ponder appropriate adjectives. </p> <p>Funny, my brain can see how strong shoulders would be good for clothes, but I struggle with it. I'm sure YLF and Angie will have me sorted in no time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2nd-try-body-type-help#post-201417 Mon, 16 Aug 2010 20:53:33 +0000 Katja 201417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always think of "inverted triangle" as "walking clothes hanger" (that's a compliment, by the way). So many garments hang so well from a strong shoulder line. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2nd-try-body-type-help#post-201415 Mon, 16 Aug 2010 20:47:45 +0000 Erika 201415@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think most of the people before me were correct in "Inverted Triangle" but also try "Rectangle." That's me too!

And any adjective will work as long as you are happy with it. </p> <p>Maya, you can be an edgy Euro hourglass. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2nd-try-body-type-help#post-198467 Wed, 11 Aug 2010 01:31:49 +0000 Maya 198467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I never liked being "hot" Alison (that is one of those words that just rubs me the wrong way), so I'll gladly trade. I'd rather be an inverted hourglass (since it's basically the same thing anyway...). And you can be a hot triangle! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2nd-try-body-type-help#post-198452 Wed, 11 Aug 2010 01:21:38 +0000 Lisa 198452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice job with the repost. Now you can streamline your shopping like I did. Knowing my body type helped a lot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2nd-try-body-type-help#post-198142 Tue, 10 Aug 2010 16:01:14 +0000 Alison 198142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies! At least know I know for sure what I'm dealing with.</p> <p>I do kind of wish there was a more exciting way to describe this one, all the others are adorable, pretty, hot, racy...somehow being inverted doesn't sound as fun. I like to think of it as an ice cream cone, with a slightly less pointy end. So maybe waffle cone? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2nd-try-body-type-help#post-198104 Tue, 10 Aug 2010 15:11:05 +0000 medusa 198104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Alison, well done on posting some more photos! Inverted triangle indeed, and I'd say you have rectangle tendencies as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2nd-try-body-type-help#post-198097 Tue, 10 Aug 2010 15:03:43 +0000 Angie 198097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done! Thanks for the extra effort. </p> <p>You are an inverted triangle as you suspected. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2nd-try-body-type-help#post-198088 Tue, 10 Aug 2010 14:49:58 +0000 firefly 198088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Alison. I'm definitely no expert, however I would think inverted triangle. I'm not sure about the secondary body type though? Hopefully some of the real experts will chime in soon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2nd-try-body-type-help#post-198076 Tue, 10 Aug 2010 14:15:21 +0000 Alison 198076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tried again, this time with workout clothes. Please excuse the post-work, pre-dinner, I-can't-believe-I'm-posting-these-on-the-web scowly face. :)</p> <p><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/r8pxipyX7THWMNc2AgbhTxKjShmjcZYc5u1jzyx9bKA?feat=directlink" rel="nofollow">http://picasaweb.google.com/lh.....directlink</a></p> <p><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/llRAiMA0mvDrgTX84xRvlxKjShmjcZYc5u1jzyx9bKA?feat=directlink" rel="nofollow">http://picasaweb.google.com/lh.....directlink</a></p> <p>My guess is still inverted triangle, maybe with a side of rectangle? As I mentioned in my other post, my shoulders and upper back make my top half at least a full size different than my lower half. Input from the experts would be greatly appreciated.</p> <p>Thank you! </p>
