Maybe I'm more apple-ish? Maybe both pear and apple? Is that possible? Or maybe I'm just seeing my self differently than anyone else (after losing weight I'm struggling a lot with the way my body looks, I always seem to think I'm bigger or smaller of what I actually am)</p> <p>Thanks again for your kind response! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-body-type-with-pics#post-418576 Thu, 08 Sep 2011 17:36:04 +0000 MsMaven 418576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>From the photos you look well-balanced to me--I'd agree hourglass. Not sure of secondary type though--your shoulders seem as wide as you hips. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-body-type-with-pics#post-418475 Thu, 08 Sep 2011 15:09:33 +0000 chewyspaghetti 418475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look like an hourglass to me (maybe with an apple tendency?)- welcome to the forum! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-body-type-with-pics#post-418417 Thu, 08 Sep 2011 12:15:42 +0000 Queen Mum 418417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am also thinking hourglass with just a hint of pear.

Welcome!<br /> You have a lovely figure!<br /> You seem and hourglass with pear tendencies, but I'm not sure! Let's see what the others say! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-body-type-with-pics#post-418402 Thu, 08 Sep 2011 10:57:18 +0000 Domitilla 418402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi everyone! </p> <p>I'm a long time lurker from Italy, I love clothes (and makeup...and nail polish...and necklaces, and earrings...you might think I'm a vain person, but I think style it's a powerful tool for self expression) but I'm pretty clueless about my body type. </p> <p>In the last couple years (I'm 23) I've lost about 65lbs, I've always tought I was sort of a "straight hourglass" if that is possible, but I'm not quite sure. I tend to carry weight pretty evenly but I have a belly and a kind of flat bottom (not my best features!) I think I have a long torso, slim legs from mid tight to ankle (they look pretty strange in the pictures I posted, I know), a defined waist and full breasts, but looking at my measurements I'm puzzled :-/ </p> <p>I think that I look better with clothes with a defined waist and I love belts at my natural waist or slightly higher if they are the wide elasticated kind. Trousers always tend to give me a muffin top (that's why I love higher rise) and to be HUGE on my bottom and tights (it's pretty impossible to find skinny jeans, I always have to take them to a taylor). In general I prefer (and I think I look better in) skirts and dresses to jeans and trousers (pants? Not sure about the right word )</p> <p> height: 5'3" (164 cm)<br /> waist: 29inch<br /> hips: 40 inch (widest point, wich to me is at about 10 inch from natural waist)<br /> breasts: 37 inch<br /> under the breasts: 31 inch</p> <p>(those pictures are kind of distorted but I couldn't manage anything better)<br /> <a href="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/850/bodytype1.jpg/" rel="nofollow">http://imageshack.us/photo/my-.....type1.jpg/</a><br /> <a href="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/189/bodytype2.jpg/" rel="nofollow">http://imageshack.us/photo/my-.....type2.jpg/</a></p> <p>(Ps: yes, those are jeggins I promise I always wear them with tunics outside the house ) </p>
