But superimposed on whatever frame we started out with. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/difference-between-secondary-and-primary-body-shape#post-1458399 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 22:03:16 +0000 Janet 1458399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would think that the primary shape is the one you most identify with, while you may have some aspects of your secondary shape, even though it doesn't totally fit your body.</p> <p>For instance, I primarily identify as an hourglass -- relatively small waist with defined hips, bust and shoulders, but I am a secondary pear because I tend to carry my weight in my hips and thighs, and I'm sensitive to figure flattery on the lower half of my body. My shape doesn't totally match the pear profile because of my shoulders and bust -- therefore pear would be a secondary type for me, not primary.</p> <p>I think most of us don't fit neatly into one category. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/difference-between-secondary-and-primary-body-shape#post-1458282 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 19:50:41 +0000 rabbit 1458282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bumping, but my understanding is that you might be mostly one shape (primary), but have one or a few attributes of another (secondary). &nbsp; So I'm mostly a rectangle shape, but have a little more backend than some rectangles, so from the side I'm a bit of a pear shape. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/difference-between-secondary-and-primary-body-shape#post-1458048 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 15:41:21 +0000 Jilena 1458048@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How can you tell which is a secondary body type and which is the primary body type? They're generally two bodies but mixed into one, right?</p>
