Ah those were the days - Chadstone, Knox City, The Glen, DFL Moorabbin and Melbourne Central - ahhh - happy times. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-shape-bible-advice-for-bells#post-599743 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 06:41:09 +0000 Fruitful 599743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL Kiwichick, I wouldn't know how to even find the first post! You're a bit like me. I read a list of over 7,000 names when trying to name my youngest child!</p> <p>Lol I almost want a showdown, I'm convinced I am the ultimate pear! Never seen anyone on this forum as pear-y as me! My definition of a pear is small bust, full hips/butt though; some people with average busts call themselves pears but I respectfully disagree </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-shape-bible-advice-for-bells#post-599741 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 06:36:27 +0000 Kiwichik 599741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yeah and dedication wise I started at the first post and am up to page 1279.

I'm a pear not a bell and I'm 5 ft 9 in with a long waist. Looking at everything you've posted even though most of the threads are old is providing me with a wealth of information. So if you're still out there thank you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-shape-bible-advice-for-bells#post-589 Sat, 02 Feb 2008 20:20:41 +0000 Plushpenguin 589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you agree with the advice given for the bell shape? It seemed pretty good to me, but I was surprised not to see any sleeve and shoulder volume, and I've always heard that short-waisted pears should not wear a thick belt around their natural waist. It seems like the advice was a little skewed due to the fact that the woman chosen to represent the bell shape was a little larger than average. I'm actually a bit too thin and I'm just not sure if it all applies to me. They describe the "bell" basically as a short-waisted classic pear with very small breasts and a tiny frame (frame refers to bone size not weight). That's me to a T. But for some reason they say that people who fit this description are generally middle age and overweight (what??), so they chose a model to fit this description. My suggested "fashion icon" is Hillary Clinton (what????) Even so their advice is the best I have ever seen for my shape in a fashion book. </p>
