I do see in this picture more pear tendencies. I don't know if this helps: I am at the lower end of my typically body weight, but I tend to gain it all over (upper arms, hips, thighs, face, tummy, chest) when I gain a few. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-diagnoses#post-141742 Sat, 10 Apr 2010 15:02:20 +0000 Angie 141742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Susan! May I see a picture of you standing with your legs closer together? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-diagnoses#post-141731 Sat, 10 Apr 2010 14:23:58 +0000 Queen Mum 141731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>you know, as I looked through your outfits in your blog, I'm seeing some pear tendencies. Looking at your silhouette, I see a bit of hourglass. Maybe you're an hourglass with pear tendencies. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-diagnoses#post-141730 Sat, 10 Apr 2010 14:21:14 +0000 Susan 141730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good question, Kim. I typically follow all three (rectangle, pear, and hourglass), but I also enjoy surrendering the waistline.<br /> Daligirl, that's nice of you to say. I have a 31" inseam, however, which I am quite sure is short for my height (5' 7 1/2"). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-diagnoses#post-141716 Sat, 10 Apr 2010 13:00:53 +0000 Queen Mum 141716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>which body type guidelines tend to give you the best results? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-diagnoses#post-141705 Sat, 10 Apr 2010 11:46:31 +0000 LuAnn 141705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look like a short waisted hourglass with great long legs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-diagnoses#post-141704 Sat, 10 Apr 2010 11:03:38 +0000 Louise 141704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bumping for Susan x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-diagnoses#post-141605 Fri, 09 Apr 2010 21:45:59 +0000 Louise 141605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd say you definatly have pear or hourglass tendancies x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-diagnoses#post-141602 Fri, 09 Apr 2010 21:38:31 +0000 Susan 141602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Seeing all the lovely pictures of the hourglasses (and reading their modifiers) makes me wonder what my body type is.<br /> Here's why, despite my high degree of self scrutiny, I have difficulty deciding:<br /> Inverted triangle:<br /> My shoulders the broadest part of my body, making woven shirts difficult to fit (but I am not that leggy, which makes me think this is not less likely)<br /> Hourglass: I have a 10" difference between my hips and waist<br /> Rectangle: I have only a 10" difference between my hips and waist. I have a small bust and bum.<br /> Pear: I have a small bust, and my bust measurement (35) is smaller than my hips (36). My legs are not as slender as my arms (I have quite athletic legs).<br /> I've historically thought I was a long torso-ed hourglass with pear tendencies. I thought my body was most similar to some one like Keira Knightley (not as slender), Claire Danes, or Mischa Barton- who are all longer torsoed, on the taller side, and seem to carry more weight on their lower bodies. But all my dress making and sewing books tell me that I am a rectangle or a pear. </p> <p>Thoughts? </p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/48178222@N02/4506423790/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/4.....506423790/</a> </p>
