So you are all cheering me up.</p> <p>Shana I have always had a curvy bum - but I think it has flattened somewhat</p> <p>Tam, we had a big discussion on changing your body shape a while back<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-your-body-type-change?replies=18" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....replies=18</a> </p> <p>Here are a couple of my original photos (that was before the "wear jeans" thing came in)<br /> <a href="http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm234/anneinoz/100_5280-edit.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i297.photobucket.com/al.....0-edit.jpg</a></p> <p><a href="http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm234/anneinoz/100_5287-edit.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i297.photobucket.com/al.....7-edit.jpg</a></p> <p>As you can see I wasn't an extreme, stereotypical Trinny-esque pear - with narrow shoulders, skinny arms and wide hips.<br /> Also, that was 3 months after my 3rd baby so there would always be changes in the intervening months.<br /> I think pregnancy etc has broadened my rib cage a little, as well as thickened the waistline. I have been doing weights a little but I doubt in the amount necessary to build much shoulder muscle! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/am-i-really-a-pear-1#post-38626 Wed, 10 Dec 2008 06:23:28 +0000 Eva 38626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A beautiful hourglass. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/am-i-really-a-pear-1#post-38624 Wed, 10 Dec 2008 06:21:03 +0000 Maya 38624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anne! Your body is just melting! You look great. I also don't think you look all that pearish. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/am-i-really-a-pear-1#post-38619 Wed, 10 Dec 2008 05:46:03 +0000 yublocka 38619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow I didn't realise you could change what underlying shape you are! You don't look peary at all though anne!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/am-i-really-a-pear-1#post-38616 Wed, 10 Dec 2008 05:23:14 +0000 shana 38616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anna, you look fantastic! I also think you look very hourglassy - and you have such a perky bum! Mine is flat as a pancake after birthing two babies.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/am-i-really-a-pear-1#post-38587 Wed, 10 Dec 2008 00:45:51 +0000 anne 38587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Nicole. I love them too! For anyone from Australia looking for straightlegged, high rise jeans I recommend them - Jeanswest "W" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/am-i-really-a-pear-1#post-38586 Wed, 10 Dec 2008 00:39:51 +0000 Nicole 38586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Anne, I just want to say that your new jeans fit you really well. You look great from all angles. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/am-i-really-a-pear-1#post-38568 Tue, 09 Dec 2008 23:04:13 +0000 anne 38568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks! Interesting! I was prompted to ask by 2 things<br /> 1. I have been buying the same size on the bottom as top now<br /> 2. I was fiddling around on an automated body type thing on Wardrobe 911 and it asked me to measure my shoulders, which I hadn't done before (mind you it said my body type was "undefined" ie didn't fit any of those categories)</p> <p>But I don't feel so bottom heavy, I reckon in the side profile pictures I look more like a rectangle or apple, so I was surprised by the what everyone said! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/am-i-really-a-pear-1#post-38513 Tue, 09 Dec 2008 16:50:39 +0000 Tanya 38513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also think that you look more hourglassy now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/am-i-really-a-pear-1#post-38497 Tue, 09 Dec 2008 15:33:24 +0000 Becky 38497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You do look terrific, Anne. I second the hourglass tendencies. Keep up the good work! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/am-i-really-a-pear-1#post-38491 Tue, 09 Dec 2008 15:16:25 +0000 Angie 38491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are definitely looking more hourglass-y, Anne. You look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/am-i-really-a-pear-1#post-38478 Tue, 09 Dec 2008 13:38:03 +0000 anne 38478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My body shape has changed somewhat in the months since I first asked that question here - so I am asking for a recount.<br /> Here are the unflattering pictures - in one of the side profile ones I am holding my tummy in, the other not - but I'm not sure which is which!<br /> I am not wearing a padded bra, which I often do<br /> Approxmate measurements<br /> Shoulder 39<br /> Bust 33-34<br /> Waist 29-30<br /> Hip 37<br /> <a href="http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm234/anneinoz/9dec08145.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i297.photobucket.com/al.....c08145.jpg</a><br /> <a href="http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm234/anneinoz/9dec08144.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i297.photobucket.com/al.....c08144.jpg</a><br /> <a href="http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm234/anneinoz/9dec08143.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i297.photobucket.com/al.....c08143.jpg</a><br /> <a href="http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm234/anneinoz/9dec08142.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i297.photobucket.com/al.....c08142.jpg</a> </p>
