You have strong tendencies towards both an inverted triangle AND hourglass. I cannot be sure by the photograph you’ve taken, though. It’s best to keep your hands by your sides for body type identification so that your full silhouette is unaltered.Think you can take another pic? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hourglass-reverse-triangle-both#post-54595 Sun, 15 Mar 2009 21:33:36 +0000 Maya 54595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Actually, I just realized you have a similar shape as Ana, so my guess would be that like her, you're an hourglass that tends toward an inverted triangle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hourglass-reverse-triangle-both#post-54594 Sun, 15 Mar 2009 21:30:31 +0000 bolod 54594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I gotta say, I gain pretty evenly. I've been everything from 150 to 250 (i'm 208lbs in this shot) and my body kinda just expands or shrinks, but doesn't change shape in the least.<br /> I've actually never compared measurements, i'm guessing I would just halve my hip measurement against my shoulder on a straight line? Any advice on how to get accurate comparison? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hourglass-reverse-triangle-both#post-54559 Sun, 15 Mar 2009 18:17:40 +0000 Antje 54559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi bolod, I would say inverted triangle. I see the hourglass tendencies, too, but you're not that curvy in the hips, so to me the defining feature is still the strong shoulder line. Curious to see what others think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hourglass-reverse-triangle-both#post-54548 Sun, 15 Mar 2009 17:43:02 +0000 Kari 54548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shiny, that's a smart concept. I don't believe I've heard that method of identifying your body type before.</p> <p>(When I gain or lose weight I definitely notice it more in my bum and midsection than anywhere else on my body, so maybe I tend towards a pear or apple? Hmm.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hourglass-reverse-triangle-both#post-54453 Sun, 15 Mar 2009 02:25:00 +0000 shiny 54453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's tough with this photo because the top of your shoulders are cropped off, and you're not quite facing the camera head on, but I'm going to guess that you are an hourglass with tendencies towards inverted triangle. It looks to me like your shoulders are just a tad wider than your hips - but not drastically so. </p> <p>When you gain or lose weight, how does your shape change? For example, I gain weight first in my stomach but also very much in my upper body (back, chest, shoulders). But lastly - dead last - in my lower body (hips, butt, thighs) - so i definetly have a trend towards inverted triangle. A true hourglass will probably gain weight evenly all over. I am hourglass when I'm at ideal weight - but gain 20 lbs and I first lose my waist and next gain in my upper body so I quickly become an inverted triangle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hourglass-reverse-triangle-both#post-54452 Sun, 15 Mar 2009 02:23:58 +0000 Maya 54452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To my eyes, you are a very bodacious hourglass. Your shoulders do not look like they extend over your hips, which is what an inverted triangle would look like. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hourglass-reverse-triangle-both#post-54442 Sun, 15 Mar 2009 01:56:08 +0000 bolod 54442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your post on body types opened up my mind quite a bit. I'd always identified as an hourglass (b:w:h=45/33/45) but I also have linebacker shoulders and fairly large arms which i've always felt the need to cover up for the sake of overall body symmetry.<br /> Where would you suggest I fall on the spectrum? As per your advice, i found a ridic tight/form fitting dress and took this shot first thing in the morning today.</p> <p><a href="http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x161/zalexis/Photo658.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i185.photobucket.com/al.....oto658.jpg</a> </p>
