She does have useful posts about X versus 8 hourglass. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-28#post-2245341 Sat, 25 Dec 2021 21:47:15 +0000 LAR101 2245341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m going to call an ‘X’ hourglass. </p> <p>The body type names are guidelines and many people won’t fit perfectly in one category. That’s why you’ll have more than one opinion here. It can be helpful to study all those categories to understand how clothing fits your body. </p> <p>I found your silhouette photos most helpful. </p> <p>Angie has some great notes on body type modifiers on this website. </p> <p>I believe someone called Imogen distinguished between the ‘8’ and ‘X’ hourglass.</p> <p>I also find it helpful to understand if one is long waisted, short waisted or medium waisted. </p> <p>Curious as to the different opinions, I took another look at your images. If your shoulders had more slope, I would be more likely to see a pear or possibly ‘8’ hourglass. As to your hips in the photos, one side appears more ‘8’ high hip and the other more ‘X’ low hip. I suspect it is just the camera angles but it’s common to have some real variation or be between types. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-28#post-2245179 Thu, 23 Dec 2021 18:42:46 +0000 rachylou 2245179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>High hip ‘8’ hourglass </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-28#post-2245171 Thu, 23 Dec 2021 16:50:57 +0000 The Cat 2245171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For identifying your body shape, you are to compare "other measurements," in particular hip and waist, with your shoulders, not your chest. (Bust size is a so-called body variation and might vary within all body shapes.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-28#post-2245169 Thu, 23 Dec 2021 16:44:43 +0000 chewyspaghetti 2245169@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look like a pear to me. Angie has dressing guidelines on the blog by body shape that are very helpful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-28#post-2245167 Thu, 23 Dec 2021 16:27:30 +0000 Cherry Mints 2245167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh!

If you're brand new, you won't be able to post photos directly at first, though. Lookthrough some of the old tbreads and posts on body type for some help also. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-28#post-2245149 Thu, 23 Dec 2021 14:09:51 +0000 Cherry Mints 2245149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello!! I was confused about my body type. I don't know if I have to compare the measurements of the rest of my body with my chest or my shoulders. If I use my bust I'd be a pear, but if I use my shoulders I'd be hourglass.&nbsp;</p> <p>Shoulders: 102 cm (40 in)<br />Bust: 93 cm (36.6 in)<br />Waist: 76 cm (30 in)<br />Hips: 105 cm (41 in) </p>
