Period. 971747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>***DonnaF*** I'm blushing! Really! &nbsp;It is nice to know that the way I dress hides my linebacker shoulders so well. &nbsp;I actually measured them after Peri posted that she may be the most IT of ITs out there and I even surprised myself--we'll just say I've got some serious shoulders and leave it at that!&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Raelou, I looked again and I still think you and I have very very similar body shapes, so I would still&nbsp;say you are an IT with rectangle tendencies. &nbsp;The outside measurement of your shoulders looks to be wider than your hips. &nbsp;Pictures can be more informative than measurements for this because they flatten out the horizontal lines. &nbsp;That way the fact that you have a nice&nbsp;round rear view&nbsp;(like I wish I had!) doesn't throw off your objective assessment. &nbsp;</p> <p>Hopefully Angie will weigh in too, though, since I learn tons from her comments!&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> <p>ETA: the disproportion with my shoulders is more obvious in <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-weekend-edition-2">this outfit post </a>than most. &nbsp;Even with a little extra bulk in the hips due to the front-tuck, you can see that my shoulders are quite wide even though my hips are slender in comparison. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-this-really-my-body-type#post-971722 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 02:17:24 +0000 raelou 971722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for letting me know about the link.

Haha! I want to form a *lou* club. Haha! </p> <p>Post your link again!

Can you fix your link? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-this-really-my-body-type#post-970406 Thu, 04 Jul 2013 04:02:40 +0000 DonnaF 970406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi, Raelou;<br />You didn't highlight to the end, so your link didn't work here.&nbsp; I saw your new pics with the long sleeves on your old post, however.&nbsp; I think everyone's consensus is that you are an IT with a Racy Rectangle as a secondary.&nbsp; What this means is that many of us are a combination of body types, including one type from the front, and another when viewed profile.&nbsp; Thus, if one's goal is to dress for figure flattery, it is good to read the tips for both types.</p> <p>And do note that K appears to be your body double so check out her WIWs.&nbsp; I can't believe that her shoulder size is two sizes bigger than her hip size, but then she really knows how to dress her body. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-this-really-my-body-type#post-970383 Thu, 04 Jul 2013 02:34:30 +0000 raelou 970383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie,<br />Hey!&nbsp; I'm new to the website and had posted some pictures under body type but it was recommended that I post photos that didn't have cap sleeves as it may have been influencing how my body type was determined.&nbsp; Before I posted a few other pictures everyone was saying I was an Inverted Triangle with rectangle tendencies (what are those tendencies?) but am not sure it will still be the same with the new pics that don't have cap sleeves.&nbsp; I just need confirmation if you don't mind taking a peek.&nbsp; Thanks!<br /><div> <p><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/105736974432631020196/20130703?authuser=0&amp;authkey=Gv1sRgCMLso9Lzrv-AeA&amp;feat=directlink" rel="nofollow"><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/10" rel="nofollow">http://picasaweb.google.com/10</a>.....directlink</a> </p> <p> </div> </p>
