Thanks! It really makes sense to have a roadmap for dressing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-17#post-1097829 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 22:25:59 +0000 Suz 1097829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A little like the rectangle. A little like the hourglass.&nbsp;</p> <p>You actually have a lot of freedom, and the issue is more to do with specifics, i.e. does the rise fit you, is the waist in the right place -- that kind of thing.&nbsp;</p> <p>If you're small on top (which I am but you are not) you go by the "upper" guidelines for rectangle more. My bottom half is actually quite muscular (more "hourglass-like") so I pay more attention to the guidelines for hourglasses there. Basically, pick and choose according to your own specifics.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-17#post-1097729 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 20:25:16 +0000 Madlovemom 1097729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So what are some guidelines for dressing for the straight hourglass? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-17#post-1097564 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 17:55:19 +0000 Madlovemom 1097564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Suz!
