Your shoulders are prominent (in an attractive way), and though your hips are slightly curvy, they are narrower than your shoulders, so I would say: inverted triangle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/athletic-body-typebut-what-shape#post-1800890 Fri, 21 Apr 2017 20:03:59 +0000 Suz 1800890@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd say you are a slim hourglass with a strong shoulder line. Your measurements are very similar to mine, right down to the strong thighs, though my bust is a bit smaller. Angie typed me as a slim hourglass/ rectangle hybrid with a strong shoulder. I find the recommendations for rectangles are usually best in my case but IT recommendations are also good for some things and hourglass for others.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/athletic-body-typebut-what-shape#post-1800874 Fri, 21 Apr 2017 19:18:26 +0000 Mayou 1800874@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can you post photos ? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/athletic-body-typebut-what-shape#post-1786406 Sat, 11 Mar 2017 14:37:24 +0000 Anonymous 1786406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Gigi! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/athletic-body-typebut-what-shape#post-1786362 Sat, 11 Mar 2017 09:17:56 +0000 Gigi 1786362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello! I would say you are a mix of IT and hourglass. The definition of IT is just that the shoulders are broader than the hips. Most ITs do not have a lot of waist definition, but that is not the case for all. A lot of ITs wear a larger size on top than on bottom.</p> <p>I am a hybrid also: I have rectangular tendencies on top (somewhat flat chested) but am hourglass on bottom. I wear a larger size on bottom than on top, the reverse of you. It is tough to find dresses to fit when you are two different sizes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/athletic-body-typebut-what-shape#post-1786253 Sat, 11 Mar 2017 00:31:24 +0000 Kit 1786253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello, here's yet another "what's my shape" post...</p> <p>I feel like I am definitely a mix of two (or even three) body shapesI have a slim but athletic body type. &nbsp;Here are my stats:</p> <p>Height: 5'5"<br />Shoulders: 38" (square shoulder line)<br />Bust: 36" (34B or 32C, depending on the brand)<br />Waist: 27"<br />High Hip: 32"<br />Low Hip/Thigh area: 35.5"</p> <p>I wear a size 2-4 in tops, and a size 00-0 in pants and skirts. &nbsp;I always thought I was a Rectangle or IT, but I have these large muscular/curved thighs that stick out too much (probably from my 12+ years of figure skating as a child/teen). &nbsp;See here:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://imgur.com/ZgNyvq3">http://imgur.com/ZgNyvq3</a></p> <p>I think I have one body shape on top and another on the bottom. &nbsp;My friends and clothing salesgirls always describe me as "tiny" or "narrow," but I BDD so I never know.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://imgur.com/P7CfD0T">http://imgur.com/P7CfD0T</a><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://imgur.com/GgBOBpE">http://imgur.com/GgBOBpE</a></p> <p>My trouble spots are my belly and inner thighs. &nbsp;When I weighed more, I carried it in my chest and upper abdomen.</p> <p>Help! </p>
