I would never have guessed inverted triangle, since I've never thought my shoulders were that broad, but it makes sense - I'm about a size 8 on top and a size 4-6 on the bottom. I also thought the little extra around the middle made me more of an apple. </p> <p>Thanks again - this site is such a huge help! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-idea-what-my-body-type-ishelp#post-108263 Mon, 30 Nov 2009 03:30:21 +0000 Angie 108263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Inverted triangle to me, Tricia. Thanks for the picture! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-idea-what-my-body-type-ishelp#post-108231 Sun, 29 Nov 2009 23:15:57 +0000 Tricia 108231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Try this (sorry Maya, took it before I saw your post)</p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_GkbfDyw7pck/SxMAESGTO9I/AAAAAAAAJdg/o3ZoUYsxOsg/s512/IMG_2778.JPG" rel="nofollow">http://lh4.ggpht.com/_GkbfDyw7.....G_2778.JPG</a></p> <p>You're right, definitely not an hourglass...I guess I didn't realize how much my body has changed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-idea-what-my-body-type-ishelp#post-108227 Sun, 29 Nov 2009 23:03:39 +0000 Maya 108227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tricia, the best way to take a body type picture is straight on, arms at your sides, with form-fitting clothes (personally I find it hard to determine when the person is wearing black, as you can't see any detail in the picture, but it's no big deal if that's all you have). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-idea-what-my-body-type-ishelp#post-108224 Sun, 29 Nov 2009 22:57:32 +0000 Tricia 108224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Would it help to take one even more straight on than that? I'd really welcome your input. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-idea-what-my-body-type-ishelp#post-108216 Sun, 29 Nov 2009 22:15:18 +0000 Angie 108216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for posting pics, Tricia. It’s hard to say because your pics are taken from the side and not straight-on. But I was going to go with inverted triangle and apple before hourglass. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-idea-what-my-body-type-ishelp#post-108197 Sun, 29 Nov 2009 21:01:51 +0000 Tricia 108197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Queenie, no, I think you're right - I think I've just been in denial. No wonder I've been having so much trouble with clothes since my kids were born - I've been dressing for the wrong body shape. When I looked again, I realized it's not my waist that's small - it's above my waist, the top of my rib cage, that's the smallest part of my midsection. I wonder if there's a way to emphasize that or if it just looks like you're trying to fake a waist in a different spot?</p> <p>Fathenry, thanks! We had a blast on Halloween. My husband and I both work in technology-related jobs, so our crowd got the LOLcat joke immediately. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-idea-what-my-body-type-ishelp#post-108194 Sun, 29 Nov 2009 20:29:38 +0000 fathenry 108194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wish I could help but I'm not an expert on the body shapes at all. I had to comment though because I love your halloween pic and the pic of the outfit that you posted! Very cute, love that belt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-idea-what-my-body-type-ishelp#post-108165 Sun, 29 Nov 2009 15:37:59 +0000 Queen Mum 108165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I"m inclined to say apple still, but I could be wrong. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-idea-what-my-body-type-ishelp#post-108162 Sun, 29 Nov 2009 15:30:38 +0000 Tricia 108162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think they are - I think they're about the same.</p> <p>I'm just confused because I look much more apple-like in these pictures than I usually do. They were taken a couple of days ago, but here's one where my waist looks much smaller - this was taken on Halloween, obviously! :)</p> <p><a href="http://photos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs040.snc3/12739_182890384466_760049466_3814700_8251300_n.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://photos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/h.....1300_n.jpg</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-idea-what-my-body-type-ishelp#post-108158 Sun, 29 Nov 2009 15:15:49 +0000 Queen Mum 108158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I"m thinking apple or inverted triangle. would you say that your shoulders are wider than your hips? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-idea-what-my-body-type-ishelp#post-108154 Sun, 29 Nov 2009 15:02:02 +0000 Tricia 108154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always thought I was an hourglass. I'm small boned but I'm busty for my frame, and my waist is smaller than my hips and bust. Since I had kids, though, I have some extra around the middle that I never had before. I took these pictures this week and they don't look the way I see myself in the mirror - I could swear my waist is smaller than this, but maybe I'm imagining it?</p> <p>What would you say my body type is? Excuse the bathing suit - I haven't bought a new one since my youngest was born last year and I know it doesn't fit that well anymore.</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_GkbfDyw7pck/SxKOxBBUp9I/AAAAAAAAJcQ/fW6NtbXC_O8/s512/IMG_2767.JPG" rel="nofollow">http://lh3.ggpht.com/_GkbfDyw7.....G_2767.JPG</a></p> <p>Here's one in clothes, if that helps:</p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_GkbfDyw7pck/SxKMcdXSPlI/AAAAAAAAJbA/WQJgMKyKGRI/s512/IMG_2737.JPG" rel="nofollow">http://lh6.ggpht.com/_GkbfDyw7.....G_2737.JPG</a> </p>
