I agree that you look like an inverted triangle to me, with a little bit of hourglass thrown in.</p> <p>Just wanted to say welcome! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-new-help-with-body-type#post-12886 Fri, 27 Jun 2008 03:43:12 +0000 sbeck1981 12886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes it does! Thank you for your help. I'm going to read up on both of those types and try my first body-appropriate outfit shopping tomorrow--I have a party Saturday. Eeee! =)</p> <p>Have a good night everyone! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-new-help-with-body-type#post-12876 Fri, 27 Jun 2008 02:27:10 +0000 Angie 12876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Shannon! Ms. Legs! I’d say an inverted triangle that tends toward an hourglass. Does that make sense to you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-new-help-with-body-type#post-12857 Fri, 27 Jun 2008 01:07:12 +0000 sbeck1981 12857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm. When I buy shirts I buy L if they're regular, XL if they're button-down. I am guessing my formal shirt size is somewhere from a 14 to 16. My clothes are pretty informal! But it's really hard to find nice shirts that fit right because I have a big bust and long arms; almost everything has sleeves that are too short.</p> <p>And yes, I have a short waist and long legs--I need a 36 inch inseam. Gap online has jeans that come in long and extra long lengths. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-new-help-with-body-type#post-12834 Fri, 27 Jun 2008 00:35:58 +0000 Dani 12834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi, Shannon. I'm not good at the body type thing so I just wanted to say welcome!</p> <p>Do you wear a larger size on top (you mentioned 14 dress, but what size fitted shirt would you wear)? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-new-help-with-body-type#post-12828 Fri, 27 Jun 2008 00:25:56 +0000 Tanya 12828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Shannon, and welcome in case I haven't already said so elsewhere. I'd say an inverted triangle too. You look like you have very long legs, do you typically need long inseam pants? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-new-help-with-body-type#post-12823 Fri, 27 Jun 2008 00:19:21 +0000 Ana 12823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm...based on the first photo, I'd say inverted triangle that tends toward an hourglass. Do you also have a short waist, Shannon? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-new-help-with-body-type#post-12809 Thu, 26 Jun 2008 23:46:31 +0000 sbeck1981 12809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay! Got some pictures with jeans. You guys are fantastic.

Your expressions make me smile! </p> <p>I’m afraid I can’t tell for sure. Ideally, I need to see you in jeans with your arms down. I cannot judge the width of your shoulders with respect to your hips when your hands are on your hips. But for the mean time, I’m going with inverted triangle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-new-help-with-body-type#post-12733 Thu, 26 Jun 2008 14:17:23 +0000 sbeck1981 12733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi! Thanks for the input. Yeah, the shorts are a little too big. I am at work now (obviously paying no attention to work! ha ha), but I can post with tighter bottoms later on. Also, yes, I do wear a different size on the bottom than on top. I am like a 14 dress, but I wear 10 or 12 long in jeans. The shorts in the picture are 14s, but I wear them a lot because I like how they make me look, well, like I have more hips! =) </p> <p>Have a happy day you two. </p> <p>*Shannon </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-new-help-with-body-type#post-12726 Thu, 26 Jun 2008 13:39:47 +0000 Eva 12726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Nicole, your hips are not bigger than your shoulders, are they smaller than your shoulders? You definetly have a waist. </p> <p>You have a lovely smile, keep smiling! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-new-help-with-body-type#post-12711 Thu, 26 Jun 2008 11:20:04 +0000 Nicole 12711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Shannon!</p> <p>Are those shorts baggy on you? I think they are throwing me off as far as your body shape goes because I can't see your hips. Do you wear a different size on top than on bottom?</p> <p>I am not sure that I'd say you have broad shoulders. You look pretty proportionate to me. I see a definite indent of your waist. I'm just not clear on the hips. Do you have a pair of tighter fitting jeans that you could wear with that cami? Or maybe take some measurements?</p> <p>Right now I'd say you look hourglass, but you say you have narrow hips. You could be an hourglass with a tendency toward inverted triangle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-new-help-with-body-type#post-12704 Thu, 26 Jun 2008 05:49:46 +0000 sbeck1981 12704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi, I'm wondering about what my "official" body type is. =)</p> <p>I'm 5'10", have very broad shoulders, large chest (36D), short torso, long arms and legs, narrow hips.</p> <p>Pictures:</p> <p><a href="http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e290/sbeck01/1-2.jpg?t=1214459309" rel="nofollow">http://i41.photobucket.com/alb.....1214459309</a></p> <p><a href="http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e290/sbeck01/2-3.jpg?t=1214459337" rel="nofollow">http://i41.photobucket.com/alb.....1214459337</a></p> <p><a href="http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e290/sbeck01/3-2.jpg?t=1214459348" rel="nofollow">http://i41.photobucket.com/alb.....1214459348</a></p> <p><a href="http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e290/sbeck01/4-2.jpg?t=1214459363" rel="nofollow">http://i41.photobucket.com/alb.....1214459363</a></p> <p>(Pardon the silly faces!) =)</p> <p>*Shannon </p>
