I dont have accessories but as I start building that collection, atleast I want to understand what clothes fit better on me and how to pair them better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-body-type-7#post-245238 Fri, 05 Nov 2010 15:17:03 +0000 Angie 245238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shana and Vix: </p> <p>"Apple seems to be the default category when even the slightest belly is seen".</p> <p>I'm going to respectfully disagree with your rant. There are many, many hourglasses, pears, inverted triangle and rectangles with extras around the middle who are not adorable apples. It might be a secondary body type instead. </p> <p>Rutuja, you'll find that your body shape will change over time since you've just had a baby. Body type guidelines are just that - guidelines. They are a good place to start and most people are a mixture of a few body types. Take the guidelines that work and keep adapting them as your body changes. </p> <p>You will have no trouble looking great right now though. It's a promise </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-body-type-7#post-245221 Fri, 05 Nov 2010 14:51:07 +0000 Vix 245221@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shana, count me in as "+1" on the side of that rant. Though of course many of the "downplay the middle" dressing strategies work no matter what one's shape.</p> <p>Rutuja --</p> <p>At the risk of sounding pervy, your side view shows a caboose that looks like it does a million lunges a day -- it's up and a bit out like a bikini model!</p> <p>IME, -O, and memory not many Rectangles are so blessed. Which makes me think you are more in that Pear/Hourglass category. </p> <p>Your shoulders and hips are very balanced -- with hips looking *slightly* wider to me. [Like "Did you know Halle Berry is a pear?" wider.]</p> <p>As Shana said, maybe try to think about/look for photos of your pre-baby shape...if your waist truly *in* then I would think Pear/HG is on target; if you were more straight up and down Rectangle seems more accurate. </p> <p>I always think it's useful to look at all shape categories, try the tips that seem to make sense, and see the results. So I'd do that. </p> <p>I don't think you'll have any problem looking great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-body-type-7#post-245184 Fri, 05 Nov 2010 12:59:08 +0000 shana 245184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Apple seems to be the default category when even the slightest belly is seen. I almost feel like it's not a real category because when you gain a certain amount of weight your true body shape gets lost and at that point fat=apple. So you might really be a rectangle or a pear but no one can get past the belly to really say! Anyway, that's my little rant about the apple body shape. In your case, since you've just had a baby, your stomach and chest will eventually change so you might be an apple right now but it's probably not your real body shape. You might want to think back to your pre-preggo body - were you straight up and down, upper body bigger than lower or vice versa, did your weight accumulate in your hips and thighs or somewhere else? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-body-type-7#post-245129 Fri, 05 Nov 2010 04:04:09 +0000 rutuja 245129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone! I thought apple was one with a bigger upper body and pear was one with a bigger hip/thigh. Anyways, I will read up about apple body type now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-body-type-7#post-245060 Fri, 05 Nov 2010 02:03:02 +0000 Angie 245060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats and welcome to the forum!</p> <p>You are 100% adorable apple </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-body-type-7#post-245007 Thu, 04 Nov 2010 23:22:40 +0000 chewyspaghetti 245007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look like an adorable apple to me- congrats on the babe! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-body-type-7#post-245002 Thu, 04 Nov 2010 23:06:42 +0000 Megan 245002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your baby is absolutely adorable!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-body-type-7#post-245001 Thu, 04 Nov 2010 23:05:22 +0000 rutuja 245001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am guessing rectangle tending to pear.
