It is an online clothing store where you can choose from different body types and pick the one which suits you the best. Basically, you can try on clothes and see what works and what doesn't.&nbsp; I am attaching the image to give you a little insight about how it works:) I hope someone will find this website helpful!:)<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-body-type-inverted-triangle#post-893747 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 19:34:10 +0000 Banoffi 893747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks for your welcomes and&nbsp;responses everyone! &nbsp;Most of my clothes problems are with suit jackets (petite sizes are limited, and&nbsp;if I get one that fits in the shoulders, it just hangs around the waist) and pants (baggy in the butt!). &nbsp;I try to avoid anything resembling a cap sleeve on summer tops as they make my arms look enormous. &nbsp;;) https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-body-type-inverted-triangle#post-893715 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 19:02:07 +0000 qfbrenda 893715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Welcome to the IT club.&nbsp; :)&nbsp; I look pretty similar to that except you have more of a defined waist than I do and I'm 5'1".&nbsp; Several babies can do that to a body.&nbsp; ;)&nbsp; <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-body-type-inverted-triangle#post-893711 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 18:58:45 +0000 Gaylene 893711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yup, that image looks pretty familiar, except that I'm about 4" taller with at least a couple of those inches residing between my bust and my waist (such as it is) which make me long waisted. Belted tops usually fit around my ribs instead of near my waist.<br />I actually like my broader shoulders so I don't tend to follow the guidelines for the IT shape as much as for the racy rectangle.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-body-type-inverted-triangle#post-893706 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 18:55:57 +0000 Tanya 893706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think you are right, your figure does look like IT. &nbsp;You have&nbsp;beautiful&nbsp;shoulders. &nbsp;And welcome! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-body-type-inverted-triangle#post-893699 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 18:47:17 +0000 catgirl 893699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hey, you look like me!&nbsp; And I'm an IT and 5'1".&nbsp;&nbsp; I can't tell if I'm short waisted as I'm fairly rectangular through the middle and also not a lot of booty.&nbsp; Welcome!&nbsp; There are several others here with this body type. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-body-type-inverted-triangle#post-893697 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 18:44:34 +0000 Banoffi 893697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hi,<br /><br />I am new to your blog, and am loving it!<br /><br />I am trying to identify my body type. &nbsp;I have broad shoulders, no real defined waist and a flat bottom. &nbsp;I think I'm an inverted triangle (??), but I am also short (5'2") and am very short-waisted. &nbsp;I've posted a photo if that helps. &nbsp;Thanks!<br /><br />&lt;code&gt;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://tinyurl.com/bmojwdu">http://tinyurl.com/bmojwdu</a>&lt;/code&gt;
