In my family my shoulders are the widest (except for my Dad's) so I am very lucky I suppose. They need to be wide to help take the focus off my thighs..... (which I believe is my worst part) :0)</p> <p>Sounds like ChristineB you and I are similar in shape! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-143#post-57423 Mon, 30 Mar 2009 17:17:52 +0000 ChristineB 57423@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your shape is very similar to mine, except my bust is a little bigger. I consider myself either a pear with a strong shoulder or an hourglass with pear tendencies.</p> <p>When dressing I have to pick &#38; choose which advice I follow for each body type. For example, since i have a strong shoulder line, the advice that is given for pears accentuate the shoulder doesn't work for me. However, I am self consious of my thighs, which are my widest part, so not all hourglass advice works for me either.</p> <p>BTW, you have a very nice shape!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-143#post-57322 Mon, 30 Mar 2009 09:39:44 +0000 ImogenL 57322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting, you do look hourglass to me - you have lovely shoulders that balance your hips pretty well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-143#post-57242 Sun, 29 Mar 2009 21:36:19 +0000 mscholtz 57242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>thank you guys !!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-143#post-57169 Sun, 29 Mar 2009 16:53:01 +0000 Tanya 57169@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that you are a pretty pear with some hourglass tendencies. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-143#post-57166 Sun, 29 Mar 2009 16:48:44 +0000 Angie 57166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done!

I'll have to go back to the hourglass page and take another look at it.</p> <p>Will be interested to read what others think as well.</p> <p>thanks </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-143#post-57122 Sun, 29 Mar 2009 11:48:14 +0000 anne 57122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good work. I think I'd say Hourglass with a slight tendency to pear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-143#post-57120 Sun, 29 Mar 2009 11:25:16 +0000 mscholtz 57120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ImogenL for your reply.</p> <p>As promised I have uploaded some photos... ignore the one side on - that profile shot will be changing in about 4 days time (after my stomach operation) good bye belly, hello flat stomach and belly button that isn't an outie - yay.</p> <p>Anyhow, back to the topic.</p> <p>Here are some picts of me wearing Leggings and a top (the top isn't as fitting as I thought, and you can see some gathers/ wrinkles on the sides, but I think you can get an idea from it none-the-less.)</p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/8122903@N08/3394163013/in/photostream/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/8.....otostream/</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/8122903@N08/3394979008/in/photostream/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/8.....otostream/</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/8122903@N08/3394176093/in/photostream/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/8.....otostream/</a></p> <p>So Pear with inverted Triangle tendencies, or Pear with hourglass tendencies??</p> <p>Look forward to your thoughts on "what body type I am. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-143#post-54659 Mon, 16 Mar 2009 04:22:32 +0000 mscholtz 54659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>sorry guys, really busy on the weekend, will try to take picts shortly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-143#post-54206 Fri, 13 Mar 2009 07:26:43 +0000 ImogenL 54206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those measurements sound pretty hourglassy to me, so draw attention to your tiny waist and up toward your face. Put detail and curve on your bust line - frills, flounces, pockets or other detail on the bustline to balance your hips and draw attention up toward your face and away from your thighs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-143#post-54205 Fri, 13 Mar 2009 07:05:58 +0000 anne 54205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello from another Aussie - looking forward to the photos - your measurements are very similar to mine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-143#post-54196 Fri, 13 Mar 2009 04:51:59 +0000 Angie 54196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're spot on! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-143#post-54160 Fri, 13 Mar 2009 01:13:40 +0000 mscholtz 54160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Angie,</p> <p>I was scared you'd say that!! I hate having my photo taken, I'll see what pict I can get on the weekend. </p> <p>I'm assuming the tighter the clothes the better to see the outline! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-143#post-54147 Fri, 13 Mar 2009 00:44:07 +0000 Angie 54147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi other Aussie gal! I appreciate the effort that you took to relay your measurements but we’ll need a visual to accurately assess your body type. This post will help: </p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/2009/03/11/refresher-identifying-your-body-type/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2009/03/.....body-type/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-143#post-54127 Thu, 12 Mar 2009 21:52:49 +0000 mscholtz 54127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Angie,</p> <p>I'm hoping you can help me! I have always thought of myself as a pear, but last night I took some measurements and now I'm not sure.....</p> <p>My measurements are below:-</p> <p>38" - shoulders (widest part)<br /> 28" - waist at my skinniest 30 1/2" at my true waist (but I'm having surgery soon to fix a hernia which is making this larger than it should be)<br /> 39" - hips - at the widest part or 37 1/2" at my true hips.</p> <p>I have a bootylicious butt and carry my weight in saddlebags :(</p> <p>I am small boobed (around a 32 - 34 A or AA) so only tiny.</p> <p>Oh I should also mention that I'm only 5 feet 3" tall (160cms) and weigh around 55 - 56Kg or around 122 - 123 in pounds.</p> <p>I hope you can help me out. I'm thinking of going through my wardrobe shortly and would really like to know what items of clothing I should keep / toss for my body shape.</p> <p>thank you,</p> <p>another Aussie gal </p>
