I came to YLF thinking I was a pear, and found I'm an hourglass instead! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/argh-the-dreaded-body-shape-question#post-271545 Wed, 29 Dec 2010 03:37:03 +0000 LeahJanes 271545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Thank You Angie :)</p> <p>Now to re-assess everything I thought I knew about dressing for my shape. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/argh-the-dreaded-body-shape-question#post-271523 Wed, 29 Dec 2010 02:58:41 +0000 Angie 271523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good to hear, Leah! I forgot to say that you have a lovely body. Shame on me for forgetting </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/argh-the-dreaded-body-shape-question#post-271520 Wed, 29 Dec 2010 02:54:36 +0000 LeahJanes 271520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a very different image in my head of what my figure looked like than the pictures actually show. It's a good exercise to do.</p> <p>I'm taking the pictures down now! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/argh-the-dreaded-body-shape-question#post-271518 Wed, 29 Dec 2010 02:50:22 +0000 Angie 271518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for hourglass! I see no rectangle or inverted triangle tendencies, Leah. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/argh-the-dreaded-body-shape-question#post-271516 Wed, 29 Dec 2010 02:48:52 +0000 LeahJanes 271516@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh dear! Here I was thinking I was an apple with inverted triangle or maybe some hourglassy tendencies. I'm pretty bad at this body shape stuff.</p> <p>Thanks for the input guys. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/argh-the-dreaded-body-shape-question#post-271479 Wed, 29 Dec 2010 01:07:16 +0000 Velma 271479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd agree with Jenava: a rectangle/hourglass. Lucky you! You have a pretty, balanced shape that should be fairly easy to fit and style. </p> <p>Doesn't Angie say she is an hourglass/rectangle or rectangle/hourglass? There's good company! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/argh-the-dreaded-body-shape-question#post-271476 Wed, 29 Dec 2010 00:59:53 +0000 Jenava 271476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you are rectangle, but with hourglass tendencies. You have a short waist, and slim legs. Your hour-glass-ness takes the shape of an 8, rather than an X. I got this from insideoutstyleblog.com and I find the differentiation to be helpful, since I'm an X hourglass, which is much different. I think you look a lot like her examples of H's and 8s. Check on the left pane of her blog for a link to the post explaining each one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/argh-the-dreaded-body-shape-question#post-271474 Wed, 29 Dec 2010 00:52:49 +0000 Becky 271474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for hourglass! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/argh-the-dreaded-body-shape-question#post-271465 Wed, 29 Dec 2010 00:02:09 +0000 Lisa 271465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm also going with hourglass. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/argh-the-dreaded-body-shape-question#post-271429 Tue, 28 Dec 2010 22:27:08 +0000 Maya 271429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I guess hourglass too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/argh-the-dreaded-body-shape-question#post-271426 Tue, 28 Dec 2010 22:25:51 +0000 medusa 271426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My thought was rectangle with hourglass tendencies or hourglass with rectangle tendencies. I'm not the best at this, though, hopefully Angie will comment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/argh-the-dreaded-body-shape-question#post-271425 Tue, 28 Dec 2010 22:20:41 +0000 Louise 271425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Inge I see some hourglass or perhaps pear? x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/argh-the-dreaded-body-shape-question#post-271393 Tue, 28 Dec 2010 20:23:28 +0000 Inge 271393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not very good at this, but I'm definitely seeing hourglass tendencies. I'm sure the others will chime in shortly;-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/argh-the-dreaded-body-shape-question#post-271388 Tue, 28 Dec 2010 20:02:14 +0000 LeahJanes 271388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I figured it was about time post some pics and get a firm idea of my body shape. I have an idea but I might be completely off, as weight loss has meant my body looks quite different now. </p>
