I always feel so matronly wih my gigantic bosom!</p> <p>Although I must say I rocked the 80s with the shoulder pads and pegged pants! LOL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inverted-triangle-advice#post-243067 Mon, 01 Nov 2010 16:25:26 +0000 Carole 243067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Searching for how to dress my IT shape is how I found YLF. I was so frustrated shopping and wasn't sure why. I came to realize that I'm unusually high waisted as well, that magnifies the problem. I too gravitated naturally to shapes that are best for me, longer tops, jackets, low slung belt, flares, A-lines, v-necks. But having guidelines really helps to zero in on the right styles and shapes. Less time and money wasted shopping for sure! Yeah! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inverted-triangle-advice#post-242988 Mon, 01 Nov 2010 13:59:18 +0000 shana 242988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks AG. I'm an IT too and have learned many of these tips simply by trial &amp; error over the years. Of course if I had found something like this many years ago, I could have saved myself some grief and lots of closet orphans! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inverted-triangle-advice#post-242914 Mon, 01 Nov 2010 06:53:05 +0000 Marley 242914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amazing how that happens isn't it? I've realized the same thing - instinctually, I've known (at least with certain clothing items) what works on my body type and what does not. (That website is kind of fun!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inverted-triangle-advice#post-242900 Mon, 01 Nov 2010 06:11:29 +0000 catgirl 242900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So aside from Angie's hugely helpful post, I found this very brief discussion claiming that IT is the "second best" after hourglass. Fie on any ranking of body types!</p> <p><a href="http://www.style-makeover-hq.com/inverted-triangle-body-shape.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.style-makeover-hq.c.....shape.html</a></p> <p>What I found interesting is that I have naturally veered toward the recommendations, whether or not they are in style. I have always liked wide-leg pants and printed a-line skirts, cut-in shoulders, avoided high necklines.</p> <p>See (MaryK), I'm doing homework too! </p>
