I dont think you have enough of a pear inclination to warrant shopping for a pear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-my-body-type#post-12446 Tue, 24 Jun 2008 14:59:33 +0000 Sarah 12446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do miss the weather, but more than that I miss my entire family. Someday I hope to move back. This 100+ weather is definitely outside my comfort zone!<br /> Okay, so should I shop as an hourglass or pear? I have tried on high waisted pencil skirts (very fitted to the knee) and they look awful (unfortunately, because I love the look). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-my-body-type#post-12443 Tue, 24 Jun 2008 14:41:02 +0000 Angie 12443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah ha! Another former Seattleite. We are currently enjoying our PERFECT Summer weather. Do you miss it? </p> <p>Thanks Sara. Pis are great. Tanya is spot on. You are an hourglass that tends towards a pretty pear (EVER so slightly). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-my-body-type#post-12441 Tue, 24 Jun 2008 14:12:12 +0000 Tanya 12441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Based on the photos I'd still say an hourglass with a light tendency towards the pear. Angie will for sure disperse any doubts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-my-body-type#post-12440 Tue, 24 Jun 2008 14:03:05 +0000 Sarah 12440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay ladies, I took the photos last night. They are not very flattering, but I guess that is the point. :)<br /> <a href="http://letitrainagain.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">http://letitrainagain.blogspot.com/</a><br /> Re: the sunburn - that's what happens when a Seattle girl moves to TX! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-my-body-type#post-12296 Mon, 23 Jun 2008 17:28:28 +0000 Plushpenguin 12296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks like you already know what looks good on you. It's hard to tell exactly, but you look like a slightly bottom heavy hour glass. The book "Body Shape Bible" calls your shape a cello. You should check it out by the way. Looking is free, and you'll learn a lot just by checking out the small section on your shape.I know I did. The only real difference between a cello and a regular hour glass is that cellos can't always carry off a pencil skirt or straight leg pants. You obviously can rock a straight cut pencil skirt, but I'm not so sure about tapered skirts or straight legs. Your lucky to have such a balanced shape. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-my-body-type#post-12264 Mon, 23 Jun 2008 14:57:34 +0000 Angie 12264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the pics, Sara. I’m afraid I can’t tell. Ideally, we need a picture in jeans and a form fitting top. Hope hubby is able to help out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-my-body-type#post-12262 Mon, 23 Jun 2008 14:45:10 +0000 Sarah 12262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all fairly recent. The most recent are the last ones I posted. Both of my sisters are pears (one is 5'9" and one is 5'3" [I'm 5'6"!]), and as I'm losing more weight I see bigger hips. I also have a big bust, so sometimes I think that throws me off.<br /> It's hard to get my husband to take my pictures for me since he leaves earlier in the morning and gets home much later. But I will do my best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-my-body-type#post-12260 Mon, 23 Jun 2008 14:31:47 +0000 Nicole 12260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sarah, Are these recent photos? Or have you lost more weight since taking them? I can see why you are wondering if you're a pear. You seem to have a cross between a pear and an hourglass shape. But some photos look more pear than others. I think the angle of the photos contributes to this. Maybe another photo taken directly, instead of in a mirror, and at the correct height would make it easier to give a better opinion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-my-body-type#post-12259 Mon, 23 Jun 2008 14:17:39 +0000 Sarah 12259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have always assumed that I was a VERY curvy hourglass, but I want to make sure before I do any more shopping. My stimulus check arrived and I plan on doing some serious damage. My body is changing a lot since I've been losing weight, and lately I've wondered if I might be a pear.<br /> This is a link to my clothing blog...are you able to see enough to figure out my body shape?
