I posted recently and I empathize with the feeling of being in scary territory. I was warmly received&nbsp; and I know you will be also. I do think you need to put on somethings that is "tight" so the others can see relationship of waist, hips etc, Now that you have uploaded the first photos the second are easier. I am printing out my guidelines for my body shape so I can internalize then when i go out shopping. Please continue to come back and post. This is a wonderful supportive&nbsp; community. <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-15#post-918821 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 18:21:18 +0000 Sunee 918821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm a body shape expert. I've been helping women with this for years. In truth though, it is almost impossible to tell in your photos. You&nbsp;definitely&nbsp;have the long legged type body. In order to figure out if you are an hourglass or rectangle, we'd need to be able to see if you have a defined waist? and how much smaller it is than your hips? In general, do you like belting things at the waist?&nbsp;<br />I'm not sure why you'd be&nbsp;embarrassed&nbsp;to post photos. You do have a desirable shape and you should learn to love it!<br />Once you figure out what shape you are, try getting some inspiration for style from somewhere like <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.fitvalet.com/">http://www.fitvalet.com</a><br />We know shape REALLY well. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-15#post-906110 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 17:22:50 +0000 Ali 906110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have my dream body but unfortunately I love food!..</p> <p>I'd say hourglass x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-15#post-905506 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 22:44:05 +0000 Anonymous 905506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks Bree and vesperholly!&nbsp;<br /><br />I had never heard of&nbsp;<i>slim</i> hourglass before I posted here, but that is what seems to be the best fit with rectangle second. I'm learning new things&nbsp;already. :-)&nbsp;<br /><br />I'm not exactly&nbsp;sure about the high hip, but I do have a short torso. I'm over 5'8" tall and when i sit next to a friend who is 5'3" tall&nbsp;in a restaurant booth we are the same height. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-15#post-904968 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 12:37:49 +0000 vesperholly 904968@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You look like a slim hourglass to me, and I can also see slight rectangle tendencies. You have such a graceful, light figure! Congratulations on finding the courage to post.<br /><br />Do you have a high hip? It's a bit difficult to tell with your loose-fitting top.<br /><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-15#post-904877 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 07:26:59 +0000 Bree 904877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I agree, lovely figure! I'd say slim hourglass/rectangle as well<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-15#post-902334 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 21:09:34 +0000 Anonymous 902334@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks Charmian and Inge!<br /><br />I'm sure if (...okay, WHEN...) I post more photos of outfits it will become clearer.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-15#post-902324 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 20:50:50 +0000 Inge 902324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I was thinking the same thing as Suz. And, you have a lovely figure! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-15#post-902314 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 20:45:00 +0000 Charmian 902314@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Congratulations on posting a picture of yourself! &nbsp;If you look far enough back in the archives you can see my first terrified posting too -- it takes a lot of bravery, and you should definitely&nbsp;proceed at the pace that makes you comfortable.<br /><br />I see an hourglass; your loose shirt is throwing me off a bit, you may have rectangle-like attributes too. &nbsp;You have lovely&nbsp;long, lean legs!<br /><br />ETA: alliteration unintended. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-15#post-902213 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 18:55:24 +0000 Anonymous 902213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks, Suz! &nbsp;I had not thought much about rectangle, but I could see that fitting.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-15#post-902198 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 18:31:29 +0000 Suz 902198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You have a terrific figure, first of all! Secondly, you look like a slim hourglass/ rectangle. But I could be mistaken about that.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-15#post-902178 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 18:09:49 +0000 Anonymous 902178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hi everyone-<br /><br />I think I know which body type I am (not 100% sure), but I'm uploading a couple photos to see what you think.&nbsp;<br /><br />I don't know my measurements, but I'm 5' 8 1/2" tall and when I gain weight it is always in my tummy area.&nbsp;<br /><br />If it weren't for the supportive and positive vibe of&nbsp;the forum, there is no way I'd be posting photos of myself for people to scrutinize. Of course, no face in these, but maybe next time... baby steps!! &nbsp;<br /><br />
