In fact I would say you were an inverted triangle with a defined waist and possibly some rectangle tendencies </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-body-type-4#post-285702 Tue, 25 Jan 2011 07:04:33 +0000 xinamin 285702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi, I had ballet class today so I took some pictures in my leotard.

What a splendid start to the weekend. </p> <p>If you can load up a picture of yourself in form fitting clothes, that would be best. It's more accurate to determine body type that way - rather than talking measurements. Look forward to seeing you and your style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-body-type-4#post-284338 Sat, 22 Jan 2011 15:06:44 +0000 Lynne 284338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome, Xin! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-body-type-4#post-284253 Sat, 22 Jan 2011 06:19:23 +0000 Kate 284253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Xin! Welcome! To determine your body type, Angie will need to see a picture of you. You should stand up tall, face straight toward the camera, and take the picture with your hands at your sides (get someone else to take the picture, or use a timer). Also, try to wear basic, close-fitting clothes so that we can see your shape. Is that doable? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-body-type-4#post-284237 Sat, 22 Jan 2011 05:17:58 +0000 xinamin 284237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Angie,</p> <p>I just started reading your blog this year. I really respect what you have to say: you are able to quantify how to look good and still leave plenty of room for self expression.</p> <p>I would like your help on figuring out what body type I am. I think I am first a pear and second a rectangle. Pear because I have small breasts but big butt and thighs. Rectangle because I am flat on top and have no waist. I have pictures but I'm not sure how to attach pictures to this text box.</p> <p>I am 5'3". The length from my collar bone to my belly button is 14 inches. The length from my belly button to the floor is 38 inches. Does this mean I am short waisted and long legged? I have a friend who is also 5'3" but my hips are higher than hers. I also have a friend who is 5'11" but my hips are the same level as his. </p> <p>I have flab but I'm not fat. Size 1 jeans from Gap are loose on me. The smallest mass produced bra 32A is too big for me. I am going to try The Little Bra Company when I get a chance.</p> <p>I am 27 but look and dress like I am in college. I am your typical Asian girl. My entire wardrobe pretty much consists of pea coats, tee shirts, jeans, sneakers, and uggs. I would like to wear more dresses this year. </p> <p>However, I am not sure what shape would flatter my body type. Empire lines seem to make my breasts look smaller and my butt bigger, like a triangle. So maybe something fitted until the waist and then flares out? Should I go with solids or prints? Color blocks will probably make me look short? Should I wear thick belts or skinny belts or no belts? Should I wear boots or oxfords?</p> <p>Also, could you recommend some places to buy warm tights? I am always cold, hence the pea coats and uggs, even though I live in SF.</p> <p>Sorry for such a long query. Thanks in advance!</p> <p>Sincerely,<br /> Xin </p>
