I deleted them awhile ago, so I can access them anymore. It was a pain to use the timer so all the others have been taken with the mirror. Funny, when I saw the first photos, I thought I looked completely different than when I'm clothed as well. Hopefully it's not my mirror distorting things; then I may have to start this process all over again! </p> <p>Height- 5'6" give or take<br /> Bust-34" taken at the fullest part<br /> 30 1/2 taken underneath<br /> waist-29"<br /> hips-39-40" (couldn't get a consistent measurement) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-body-type-revisted#post-91853 Mon, 07 Sep 2009 16:27:36 +0000 Angie 91853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Karlie, I am a slim hourglass too. Not very curvy, and with an average bust size (30 or 32C). I stand at 5ft 6. I definitely have rectangular tendencies as well. You do not need to be super curvy to be an hourglass. I hope that makes sense! </p> <p>Now lets get going adorning that beautiful bod :0) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-body-type-revisted#post-91834 Mon, 07 Sep 2009 15:44:47 +0000 anne 91834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Karlie, did you use the same mirror to take your first body type pics as you have been with the clothes? I am asking because when I saw your first pics I thought I could have been looking at myself in the mirror; we looked that similar! (I am a pear but not strongly so, also have rectangle and hourglass tendencies).<br /> But when I looked at your clothed pictures you looked so much slimmer and taller!<br /> Would it be okay to ask your height and measurements? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-body-type-revisted#post-91826 Mon, 07 Sep 2009 14:13:51 +0000 karlie 91826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the input, ladies! It is soooo nice to know I can come here and get the kind, supportive advice I need! :)</p> <p>Angie, I never would have guessed I was an hourglass. It's a bit surprising to me, actually, maybe becasue I've always assumed that an hourglass required at least an average bust, whereas I have much less than that (barely an A cup). Reading up about the hourglass on YLF, I see that I was mistaken about the bust thing, but it's still a bit of a shock. And hourglass has always been synonyomous with curvy to me, and I've never seen myself as curvy-except maybe on the bottom. In any case, it's great to have this information. Thank you!!!</p> <p>I think maybe I used to be a pear when I was heavier and that's why I have such a lower body issue. I stuggled with my weight after both my girls were born; up until two years ago I was 20 lbs heavier than I am now. My hips and thighs are the first place the weight goes on, and the last place it comes off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-body-type-revisted#post-91755 Mon, 07 Sep 2009 05:16:53 +0000 Tanya 91755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was going to say that rectangle was the first thing that came to my mind, no pear tendencies at all in my opinion! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-body-type-revisted#post-91754 Mon, 07 Sep 2009 05:11:21 +0000 Angie 91754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for reposting your pics, Karlie. You have a beautiful, slim, lithe and in shape body. Wow. I can’t believe that body had children! I can’t even comment on your body type at this point because I am in awe of those gorgeous legs. Karlie!!! You have such slim thighs! You look so graceful, poised and elegant.</p> <p>No pretty pear tendencies in these pictures. I see a straight hourglass, quite rectangular actually. Is that what you see too? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-body-type-revisted#post-91671 Sun, 06 Sep 2009 23:16:34 +0000 Maya 91671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Karlie, I remember thinking you were a classic pear when I first saw your pictures but here you don't look that pearish to me. I don't know if the first set of photos were just inaccurate or if what you're wearing here or perhaps your mirror is camouflaging your shape a bit. Either way, I do not find your thighs to be out of proportion or the first thing I look at. So I conclude that even if you are a pear, it's clearly not that hard to balance yourself out using clothes as you have quite successfully hidden your pear tendencies in these pictures where you're not even trying. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-body-type-revisted#post-91669 Sun, 06 Sep 2009 23:09:56 +0000 karlie 91669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I deleted the original photos I posted to help determine my body type and don't have the time to re-take pictures right now. These were already on my computer; hopefully they'll do. If not, let me know and I'll take new pictures tomorrow. And sorry about the capri pants. I know your thoughts on them! ;)</p> <p><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v417/karlie72/outfits%201/?action=view&#038;current=013.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://smg.photobucket.com/alb.....nt=013.jpg</a></p> <p><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v417/karlie72/new%20clothes/?action=view&#038;current=010.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://smg.photobucket.com/alb.....nt=010.jpg</a></p> <p>If I'm not pear, I'm very curious to see what shape I am.
