Yes that is right, my bottoms are larger and never fit in the waist. Okay I am clear now. I appreciate it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-body-type-pics-included#post-64703 Sat, 09 May 2009 23:30:10 +0000 Angie 64703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Devin, from the front, you are rectangular, but from the side you are pear shaped. For that reason you probably wear a larger size on the bottom than on the top. Is that right? </p> <p>You’ll need bottoms with fuller back rises to cover you from behind which will probably need waist adjustment (in order to fit that dimension too). Those are pretty pear guidelines. But you do not carry little extras on the thigh (rectangular tendencies) which means that you can also wear straighter clothing – as long as they fit well and are flattering from behind. I hope that makes sense.</p> <p>Congrats on the weight loss! You look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-body-type-pics-included#post-64623 Sat, 09 May 2009 05:19:48 +0000 Christie 64623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I agree ... rectangle with a bit of pear. That's what I am too and I am *glad* for my pearish curves, since they're the only curves I have! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-body-type-pics-included#post-64601 Sat, 09 May 2009 02:34:14 +0000 devin 64601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies! I would never have guessed a rectangle. My body has really changed since the weight loss. </p> <p>Angie I am not sure I understand. Does that mean I should follow both rectangle rules for the top half and pear rules for my bottom half, since my bottom half is fuller? Can I wear pencil skirts and skinny jeans? </p> <p>I have read the racy rectangle rules, but am unsure what makes me look completely flattering. Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-body-type-pics-included#post-64600 Sat, 09 May 2009 02:10:48 +0000 Angie 64600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome Devin! Thanks for posting pictures. You have lovely skin. You are a racy rectangle who tends towards a pretty pear. Does that make sense? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-body-type-pics-included#post-64584 Sat, 09 May 2009 01:24:46 +0000 Maya 64584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Devin, from the front you look like a rectangle to me, but from the side definitely a pear. That dress looks beautiful on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-body-type-pics-included#post-64583 Sat, 09 May 2009 01:16:53 +0000 medusa 64583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Devin! You look really good.</p> <p>My guess is that you are a rectangle with pear tendencies. I am very much not an expert though, so please wait to see what other people say! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-body-type-pics-included#post-64532 Fri, 08 May 2009 21:26:34 +0000 devin 64532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Shana! I will post better pics with more fitted clothing when my hubby gets home. I would be happy to help you all with whatever makeup advice you need! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-body-type-pics-included#post-64519 Fri, 08 May 2009 21:01:51 +0000 shana 64519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations on the weight loss!!! You look fantastic! From the measurements I would say pretty pear for sure but in the pictures you look more like a rectangle (can't see as much waist definition as your measurements indicate) - could be the picture though. Hope you're going to give us lots of makeup advice!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-body-type-pics-included#post-64507 Fri, 08 May 2009 19:18:21 +0000 devin 64507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello All! My name is Devin. I am a Makeup Artist from Houston, Texas. I have introduced myself on the forum and love Angie's blog. I have been reading daily and am absolutely addicted! I turned 30 last year and have recently lost 30 pounds. Since then I have really wanted to amp up my look and wardrobe. My style is a mix of modern and trendy. I would like to know what you all think my body type is. I am 5'2" and my measurements are 32-26.5-35(I think?). I believe I am a pear shape, but am unsure. Here are a couple of pics:</p> <p>I have edited to add more pics with hopefully better fitting clothing:</p> <p><a href="http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b348/devinjhans/Youlookfab/IMG_3874-1.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i22.photobucket.com/alb.....3874-1.jpg</a></p> <p><a href="http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b348/devinjhans/Youlookfab/IMG_3873-1.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i22.photobucket.com/alb.....3873-1.jpg</a></p> <p><a href="http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b348/devinjhans/Youlookfab/IMG_3872-1.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i22.photobucket.com/alb.....3872-1.jpg</a></p> <p><a href="http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b348/devinjhans/Youlookfab/IMG_3880-1.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i22.photobucket.com/alb.....3880-1.jpg</a></p> <p><a href="http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b348/devinjhans/Youlookfab/IMG_3879-1.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i22.photobucket.com/alb.....3879-1.jpg</a></p> <p>First pics added with looser clothing:<br /> <a href="http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b348/devinjhans/Youlookfab/IMG_3864-1.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i22.photobucket.com/alb.....3864-1.jpg</a></p> <p><a href="http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b348/devinjhans/Youlookfab/IMG_3860-1.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i22.photobucket.com/alb.....3860-1.jpg</a></p> <p>Thanks for your help! </p>
