I used to have 37 in hips, then 36, then 35 and so on. </p> <p>I've maintained the same weight for 18 yrs (since I was 15 yrs old, before 15, I weighed even less), but my measurements keep shifting. I want my hips back :-(</p> <p>So hard to gain weight...the grass isn't always greener ladies. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hello-what-is-my-body-type#post-490050 Sat, 17 Dec 2011 16:09:59 +0000 nychic 490050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Ladies! I didn't realize I had more responses until now. Thanks for the compliment Steph. Elsa, how do I use the calculator? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hello-what-is-my-body-type#post-264609 Sat, 11 Dec 2010 15:46:04 +0000 elsa 264609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>thanks for the welcome Angie! </p> <p>Maya &amp; Angie, we all have our different ways of approaching things and that's what makes us beautifully different :)</p> <p>Kate, i simply use those 5 celebrities as representation of the 5 common body types:</p> <p>Angelina Jolie = Apple<br /> Cameron Diaz = Rectangle<br /> Halle Berry = Hourglass<br /> Jennifer Lopez = Pear<br /> Naomi Campbell = Inverted Triangle </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hello-what-is-my-body-type#post-264443 Sat, 11 Dec 2010 02:25:24 +0000 Angie 264443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome to the forum, Elsa! I am also a professional fashion stylist with 18 years of international rag trade experience. I prefer to view body typing as art - and a place to start with how to dress your lovely body. Measurements do not clearly determine body type in my opinion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hello-what-is-my-body-type#post-264411 Sat, 11 Dec 2010 01:29:12 +0000 Maya 264411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry Elsa, we'll have to agree to disagree. Body typing is an art and not a science. My shoulders measure wider than my hips and bust but to call me broad shouldered would be hysterical. I have the softest, narrowest shoulders of virtually anyone I know. I am sometimes unable to fill out the shoulders in even the smallest size available. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hello-what-is-my-body-type#post-264366 Fri, 10 Dec 2010 22:19:31 +0000 Kate 264366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for inverted triangle with hourglass tendencies.</p> <p>Elsa, you have a very interesting approach to body types. I'm curious how Angelina Jolie, Naomi Campbell, Cameron Diaz, Halle Berry, and Jennifer Lopez fit with the more traditional set of body types. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hello-what-is-my-body-type#post-264360 Fri, 10 Dec 2010 21:54:37 +0000 Steph 264360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I only needed to look at the first photo and immediately thought inverted triangle. You also have hourglass tendencies since you have a small waist, but (at least in these photos) your shoulders seem broader than your hips and chest.</p> <p>(Oh, and your arms are amazing. I am so jealous!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hello-what-is-my-body-type#post-264359 Fri, 10 Dec 2010 21:52:25 +0000 elsa 264359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>hey nychic! </p> <p>i actually disagree with Maya (sorry Maya), body type is 100% determined by measurements. </p> <p>i'm a professional fashion stylist here in NYC and this is one of the major things i see women struggle with... not knowing their body shape and then not knowing how to dress for you body shape. </p> <p>i created a body shape calculator on my blog, if you're interested: <a href="http://www.blog.elsaisaac.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.blog.elsaisaac.com</a> - you can instantly find out your body shape and i give you a free corresponding guide! </p> <p>hope that helps you some :)</p> <p>xx,<br /> e </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hello-what-is-my-body-type#post-261055 Sun, 05 Dec 2010 03:24:49 +0000 Maya 261055@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Body type isn't determined by measurements. It's just something you need to eyeball.</p> <p>You have a strong, straight shoulder line and your hips are very slim, hence IT. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hello-what-is-my-body-type#post-261039 Sun, 05 Dec 2010 02:38:06 +0000 nychic 261039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the replies everyone.</p> <p>Hmmm, inverted triangle. That is a new one I've heard. Even if my shoulder-to-shoulder is 18 inches? Based on the article's description, I don't see how my measurements fit into the inverted triangle realm. Very interesting though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hello-what-is-my-body-type#post-261005 Sat, 04 Dec 2010 23:58:02 +0000 anne 261005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Maya - definitely inverted triangle </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hello-what-is-my-body-type#post-261001 Sat, 04 Dec 2010 23:46:20 +0000 Kari 261001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Huh - I'm not able to open the URLs.
