But, it makes sense, I think, now that I'm thinking about it. I do gain weight all over - it's very easy to 'hide" it more that way. </p> <p>It's a good thing the rectangle's guidelines are pretty straightfoward - I was already doing a lot of them. Thanks again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-pear-or-hourglass#post-91851 Mon, 07 Sep 2009 16:21:56 +0000 Angie 91851@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi! The gals are right. You are rectangular and awfully cute :0) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-pear-or-hourglass#post-91816 Mon, 07 Sep 2009 13:13:55 +0000 malcontent 91816@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Honestly, I would say rectangle with hourglass tendencies. Hourglasses are usually defined by having a 10+ inch difference between the waist and the bust/hips and your bust and hips are smaller in relation to your waist line. Your figure looks balanced though and you do have a waistline so I would say your figure has some hourglass tendencies. I don't see you as a pear at all. Your legs look slim and it doesn't seem like you tend to store weight in your lower body. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-pear-or-hourglass#post-91719 Mon, 07 Sep 2009 02:35:46 +0000 inkstainedwriter 91719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you. That is helpful. </p> <p>Another thing I should note: I have TINY shoulders. Shirts and straps are always falling off. So I usually wear a smaller top to keep that in check. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-pear-or-hourglass#post-91716 Mon, 07 Sep 2009 02:29:44 +0000 Tanya 91716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great photo! I would say hourglass for sure now, and no pear tendencies whatsoever! If anything, there might be some rectangle tendencies, but I am not so good at this, so we should wait for Angie to chime in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-pear-or-hourglass#post-91714 Mon, 07 Sep 2009 02:27:21 +0000 inkstainedwriter 91714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just added a new photo now: </p> <p><a href="http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa92/whitneyshutterbabe/DSC_0051.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i202.photobucket.com/al.....C_0051.jpg</a></p> <p>Ignore the messy room! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-pear-or-hourglass#post-91710 Mon, 07 Sep 2009 02:19:28 +0000 Tanya 91710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see the other photos now I am afraid none of them are clear enough. Is there anyway you could have a new one taken, in a tight to and jeans, arms down by the side? Based on these I'd still say hourglass most likely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-pear-or-hourglass#post-91709 Mon, 07 Sep 2009 02:16:39 +0000 Tanya 91709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello and welcome! ( Sorry if this sis not your first post, I have not been following the forum closely lately). I am afraid those are all one same photo I would guess hourglass, but a better shot, straight on, would be needed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-pear-or-hourglass#post-91708 Mon, 07 Sep 2009 02:15:29 +0000 inkstainedwriter 91708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, great. I have the same picture up three times. Sorry. </p> <p>The other two should be:<br /> <a href="http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa92/whitneyshutterbabe/6616_505436525306_131500242_3014175.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i202.photobucket.com/al.....014175.jpg</a></p> <p>and </p> <p><a href="http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa92/whitneyshutterbabe/n131500034_30120485_3376.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i202.photobucket.com/al.....5_3376.jpg</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-pear-or-hourglass#post-91707 Mon, 07 Sep 2009 02:13:44 +0000 inkstainedwriter 91707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not sure about my body type. </p> <p>My measurements are this: </p> <p>hips: 41<br /> bust: 38<br /> waist: 33</p> <p>My body has changed a LOT since my son was born 14 months ago. I'm trying to lose some weight (I'm at 150 now), but life has been very busy this past year with two job layoffs, two moves, and two surgeries for my son (he's doing GREAT now). </p> <p>I think I was an hourglass when I was married three years ago. Picture of then, when I was a size 4/6:<br /> <a href="http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa92/whitneyshutterbabe/n131500034_30014217_9035.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i202.photobucket.com/al.....7_9035.jpg</a></p> <p>And now, when I'm a 8:</p> <p><a href="http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa92/whitneyshutterbabe/DSC_0051.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i202.photobucket.com/al.....C_0051.jpg</a></p> <p><a href="http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa92/whitneyshutterbabe/n131500034_30014217_9035.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i202.photobucket.com/al.....7_9035.jpg</a></p> <p><a href="http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa92/whitneyshutterbabe/n131500034_30014217_9035.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i202.photobucket.com/al.....7_9035.jpg</a></p> <p>The pictures aren't perfect, but should give you a better idea. The black shirt in that one does NOT work for me, I think. It's too short. Anyway, I know the idea with the hourglass is that the waist is defined. It used to be more so before he was born (mommy tummy is my main problem), so I'm not sure where that leaves me. </p> <p>Also, if a person has two types or leans towards a secondary type, how to combine the two into dressing guidelines? What advice do you give at that point? </p> <p>Thanks! </p>
