I mean how long time do they grow bigger? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-body-shape-2/page/2#post-1480775 Mon, 27 Apr 2015 05:15:25 +0000 catgirl 1480775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, I'm an IT and have come to like my shoulders&nbsp; - models often are ITS so clothes will hang properly.&nbsp; One clue for me is that when my arms hang straight, the don't come close to touching my hips.&nbsp; But you are very young and still have a ways to go developing&nbsp; - so don't focus on that.&nbsp; You look very proportionate and not IT to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-body-shape-2/page/2#post-1480774 Mon, 27 Apr 2015 04:59:36 +0000 dana0153 1480774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay thank you very much! You've really helped me </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-body-shape-2/page/2#post-1480738 Mon, 27 Apr 2015 02:58:05 +0000 Marina 1480738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think "square shoulders" are a lot more angular, they create literally square/perpendicular lines. Your neck-shoulder transition is smooth and your shoulders have beautiful rounder form actually. I will use an exaggerated example to explain what I mean (I'm not a native speaker too).<br />In this photo Cameron Diaz is thinner and more muscular than usual. If you look at her shoulder-to-arm line (along the vertical white line) you can see her shoulder form and her arm form easily, right? There is a ")" form around her shoulder and a visible meeting point between shoulder and arm. This is what I mean by "defined shoulder". Yours are not that muscular nor exaggerated, but I can see the actual shape of your shoulders and the point where your shoulders and arms meet (it's visible in a good way). If you look at my arm that same line looks flat. Note that my arm if flexed in this photo - I was carrying a coconut - and there is no more than a shadow of a shoulder or arm visible. My shoulder/arm is by comparison "undefined".</p> <p>It's not that you look like a V, but since you have well shaped/defined shoulders you can show them off and make then look larger on purpose easier than a girl with undefined shoulders (you can do that to create a more accentuate X shape, but then you will need to use some V-shape tips to do the same with your bottom and keep everything in balance). Girls with undefined shoulder can make them look larger with some effort too, but we need to be extra careful to not end with fatter/weird arms instead of larger shoulders </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-body-shape-2/page/2#post-1480595 Sun, 26 Apr 2015 19:51:53 +0000 dana0153 1480595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So I'm not IT, but I can look like I am because of my shoulders? Is it because they're "square" :)? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-body-shape-2/page/2#post-1480433 Sun, 26 Apr 2015 13:07:36 +0000 Marina 1480433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi, Dana. You have a lovely figure :)</p> <p>I'm sticking with one of my previous guesses: your shoulders are not broad/large, they just have a well defined shape. I really think defined shoulders look gorgeous in A-line halters and tops with a V string/line coming out of its center, but if they really bother you, there are some tips to make then look smaller:<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.insideoutstyleblog.com/2010/09/how-to-minimize-wide-or-square-shoulders.html">http://www.insideoutstyleblog......lders.html</a><br />(this blog has an article about how to broaden your shoulders, you may look there to see what to avoid too)</p> <p>About your body shape,&nbsp;from your mearurements I would expect your hips to look larger and that's not the case at all. Your chest and hips look well balanced. I still think you are primary a column, but with something of a neat-hourglass too.<br />&nbsp;In the link above there are sections about body shapes. I believe you may use above tips to make your shoulders look smaller along with I-shape tips to create a slender figure or you can show off/emphasize your shoulders and go for some V-shape tips to create a more X-like figure.<br />Note that you are not really an inverted triangle/V, but you can easily create the visual illusion of larger shoulders because their well defined shape, so you can use it to your advantage and get more outfit options </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-body-shape-2/page/2#post-1480375 Sun, 26 Apr 2015 08:00:27 +0000 dana0153 1480375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ahahah okay<br /> Thank you very much </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-body-shape-2/page/2#post-1480244 Sat, 25 Apr 2015 23:10:14 +0000 rachylou 1480244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I meant I don't think you are an IT, and I'm willing to argue it. And I was just teasing that my best friend would tease me and call me 'fat cow' for arguing </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-body-shape-2#post-1480210 Sat, 25 Apr 2015 20:44:52 +0000 dana0153 1480210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you! This help me so much!<br /> Rachylou I'm not sure I understand what you mean (14 year old Dane, not so good at English yet hehe) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-body-shape-2#post-1480200 Sat, 25 Apr 2015 20:18:34 +0000 approprio 1480200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Take heart, Dana! You look lovely,&nbsp;Nobody's perfect, and we all have things we like and dislike about our appearance. It's important to learn to love your body, with all its little quirks and imperfections.</p> <p>If you're an IT, you have one of the best body shapes to hang clothes on. A strong shoulder line gives structure, as AM says. That's why it's a very common body shape for models. But your shoulders don't look so very broad to me.&nbsp;</p> <p>Please don't try to loose weight. You body looks perfectly healthy and you're still developing. Instead, learn how to eat healthily and get plenty of exercise. That way, you'll grow naturally and avoid weight problems in the future.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-body-shape-2#post-1480180 Sat, 25 Apr 2015 19:01:38 +0000 rachylou 1480180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, gotta argue, hehe So not IT. IMO, your shoulders are just standing out because of the stark contrast with the black tank. Taking it all in at once, as would a bypasser on the street...zero IT, even with the contrast. And the measurements support my findings, lol. You can call me fat cow now. My bff would </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-body-shape-2#post-1480087 Sat, 25 Apr 2015 15:17:41 +0000 dana0153 1480087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know, and thank you very much. I think I've looked at them so much and just thought, they were so big that it's stuck in my head now. I think they're a little less inch wider than my hips. So they are a little broad?</p> <p>It's probably hormones and I should give my body time to grow and develop. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-body-shape-2#post-1480056 Sat, 25 Apr 2015 14:38:49 +0000 Summer 1480056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dana, I think you are focusing too much on your shoulders - which are not overly broad - instead of seeing yourself as a whole. &nbsp;You are a pretty girl with a lovely figure, no need to worry. &nbsp;By the way, don't forget that many fashion models are IT shape.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-body-shape-2#post-1480049 Sat, 25 Apr 2015 14:05:45 +0000 dana0153 1480049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay thank you<br /> So I just took a look in the mirror and I think I'm IT. My shoulders is wider than my hips and compared to the rest of my body they are huge. Especially when I wear big T-shirts, but I really love wearing them.<br /> On me it just look wierd because I'm not getting any taller </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-body-shape-2#post-1480046 Sat, 25 Apr 2015 13:58:46 +0000 AM 1480046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have broad shoulders and I wouldn't call your's overly broad AT ALL. But shoulders can be a big plus. They add structure to your clothes. I have friends that have very small, sloping shoulders and they seem to have problems of their own with clothes appearing to hang off them with gathering and poor form. You have a nice trim figure. We all fuss about our bodies a bit but in the end it is good to accept it and try to love thy self. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-body-shape-2#post-1480038 Sat, 25 Apr 2015 13:52:01 +0000 Summer 1480038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi, Dana,</p> <p>First, may I say that you have a lovely, trim feminine figure whatever shape you decide it is.</p> <p>I agree with most of the others that you are probably a mix of IT and rectangle, but you are not extreme in any way. &nbsp;You can use the guidelines for both shapes, but please don't get too hung up on the "rules". &nbsp;At your age there is plenty of scope for just having fun experimenting with lots of different styles - that will tell you a lot more about what suits you and what doesn't. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-body-shape-2#post-1480028 Sat, 25 Apr 2015 13:29:01 +0000 dana0153 1480028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just think my shoulders look SOO big </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-body-shape-2#post-1479990 Sat, 25 Apr 2015 10:37:01 +0000 dana0153 1479990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay thanks, your answers helps me a lot!<br /> I see some different meanings about my shape, and I guess I don't fit any shape yet ;)<br /> So I hope I will, when I'm done developing </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-body-shape-2#post-1479988 Sat, 25 Apr 2015 10:20:47 +0000 rachylou 1479988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh and no. You have no worries about looking masculine. You don't. These shape terms are for picking clothes that fit well and therefore flatter. These body shapes aren't what make the world see that a female is a female or feminine. What does, tho, is pretty interesting. The science is fascinating. And actually, losing weight would be unhelpful toward that goal. 'Course becoming morbidly obese would also be unhelpful, but in a different way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-body-shape-2#post-1479985 Sat, 25 Apr 2015 09:47:42 +0000 Dixie 1479985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have a long way to go! Your body is not done developing. Don't worry about body shapes yet :/&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-body-shape-2#post-1479984 Sat, 25 Apr 2015 09:34:27 +0000 rachylou 1479984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, very smart to do across measures as well as around, and with the pics... I've very similar measurements. I'd say you're a rectangle / mild hour glass.</p> <p>Did you do an under-bust around measurement too? That's also very useful to know. The difference between the bust and under-bust will tell quite a bit how things will drape.</p> <p>As you are still growing, I'd definitely redo the measurements in a year's time. Or at the start of the new school year when/if you do back to school shopping (that's when I always got my new clothes). Or outgrow what you've got noticeably. I think 14 - 15 is when one day I realised I'd gotten taller than the refrigerator! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-body-shape-2#post-1479978 Sat, 25 Apr 2015 07:42:53 +0000 dana0153 1479978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm posting pictures from my phone, should I do it from the computer instead? Would that help making the picture better ?<br /> But agan doesn't the rectangular body shape have also have a little wider shoulder than hips (sometimes)? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-body-shape-2#post-1479976 Sat, 25 Apr 2015 07:31:49 +0000 dana0153 1479976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay so I'm IT?<br /> Then I really hope I haven't stopped developing </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-body-shape-2#post-1479834 Fri, 24 Apr 2015 22:10:21 +0000 Sveta 1479834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You body looks like IT to me. However at 14 it is most likely not finished to develop yet. Give it a couple of more years - up to 16 or maybe even 18 when the feminine body really develops (breasts and hips).<br />And no, you do not look manly at all, you look like a lovely young girl </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-body-shape-2#post-1479829 Fri, 24 Apr 2015 21:52:54 +0000 Staysfit 1479829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No Dana, losing weight will not change your body shape and would only make you look masculine not feminine. There is really no way to change your body shape. &nbsp;Your body shape is determined by your skeletal structure and you cannot alter that. &nbsp;Hopefully you will learn to love the body you have, whatever shape it is. &nbsp;Also, your body should continue to grow and change for a year or so more now that you have had your period. &nbsp;I would focus more on wearing feminine clothing, and eating healthy food. &nbsp;You will not look masculine. &nbsp;(I'm a physician, I really know about this stuff &nbsp;)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-body-shape-2#post-1479827 Fri, 24 Apr 2015 21:50:43 +0000 Liz 1479827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don't worry -- you don't look remotely manly! And, unless you were to gain a <i>whole lot </i>of weight,&nbsp;body type is not an issue of weight. This is genetic stuff.&nbsp;<br />Losing weight would not change the width of your collarbones and shoulder bones and pelvic bones or whatever bones those are that determine the width of your shoulders compared to your hips. &nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-body-shape-2#post-1479824 Fri, 24 Apr 2015 21:43:23 +0000 Tanya 1479824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would say you are somewhere between rectangle and IT, can't say exactly as the photos are not&nbsp; very good.&nbsp; Could you do a full length body one,&nbsp;&nbsp; but bigger than the first photo you posted? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-body-shape-2#post-1479822 Fri, 24 Apr 2015 21:35:19 +0000 dana0153 1479822@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have this one too<br /> My shoulders and hips looks almost similar, but as you can see my shoulders look very broad.<br /> I'm very short and I really don't want to look masculine at all. If it's not only in my head I look very manly, does I help to loose weight then? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-body-shape-2#post-1479783 Fri, 24 Apr 2015 20:49:58 +0000 dana0153 1479783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>But isn't there any other body shapes with wider shoulders than hips? If I search the rectangular body shape on google images it looks like their shoulders is wider too </p>
