I think you are an hourglass! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-sure-what-my-body-type-is#post-1373467 Fri, 10 Oct 2014 21:55:19 +0000 debo 1373467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, I hope this helps. If not, I will try to think of something else. Thanks a ton!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-sure-what-my-body-type-is#post-1370671 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 20:02:26 +0000 Dixie 1370671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You can upload it to photobucket or imgur, and post the link here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-sure-what-my-body-type-is#post-1370460 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 14:46:09 +0000 debo 1370460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, I put on a skirt and shirt that I wore a lot before I gained the second round of weight. My hair is wet and no make-up, and ignore the packing in the back, but see if this helps.<br />hm, how do I attach a pic - or since I have only been on the forum 24 hrs can I not upload my own pics? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-sure-what-my-body-type-is#post-1370217 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 02:32:38 +0000 Dixie 1370217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, it can be a tight tank top and leggings or something like that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-sure-what-my-body-type-is#post-1370215 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 02:30:35 +0000 debo 1370215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will have to take a photo - hm, I do not own a swim suit at all currently, so not sure what I can use that is very fitted. Since this is the first time I have really gained weight, I would say in the chest area and maybe through the waist. I will try to take a photo in the next day or two - leaving tomorrow for a MUCH needed break out of town!!! hm, would a slip and camisole work? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-sure-what-my-body-type-is#post-1370199 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 02:12:21 +0000 Dixie 1370199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I love body type posts! You need to share a little bit more, like where you gain weight and a full body photo, with a straight angle and fitted clothes/bikini/underwear. Weight, size and measurements don't say a lot about body shape :/ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-sure-what-my-body-type-is#post-1370192 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 02:06:41 +0000 debo 1370192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not sure what my body type is - and I have recently gained weight (a good thing). However, my bra size changed and it is really making it hard for me to figure out what I am... I do not have a recent photo, so I will have to look into that to post. I am 5'3" 110lb, thin - I am sort of between a 0 and a 2 right now and definitely cannot wear 'curvy' clothing. I was fitted recently for new bras and a 32D does really well. My waist is about 25 inches and hips are 32-33 inches. (I do not have a measuring tape, so I am using a yard stick so I went generous instead of close on measurements). I have always been told that "style" is not my thing... but I have decided that I am going to learn. I get lots of compliments on my outfits, but I really stress them and want it to be easier. </p>
