And they are very bony. And they end in skeleton-like hands with bony, long fingers. My friends used to call me ET after the movie came out.</p> <p>I have a small head and generally have a hard time with hats. I am swamped in most scarves. I look like I'm playing dress-up.</p> <p>My calves are almost nonexistent (12"). When I do find a pair of knee-high boots that aren't too big in the calf (which is exceedingly rare), they are always too high in the shaft since I am only 5'2". I can't win! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oddly-shaped-or-sized-body-part/page/2#post-2138418 Fri, 14 Aug 2020 04:49:28 +0000 Anonymous 2138418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I forgot that my left foot is a half or even whole size bigger than my right foot, I always have to try on both shoes.

Luckily that's what my climate needs.<br /> Little head- hats are often too big, but it has to be Really cold for me to wear them.<br /> Very short waist- 1 hand, not 2. Waistbands and belts dig in when I sit.<br /> Combined with- big bum and high hipshelf. I can be frump or bombshell, not much in between!<br /> Long arms and legs- I'm 5'3 with 30 inch inseam. Often I buy tall pants for the length, and coats that cover my wrists are hard to find. But they often have Kennyhoods (refer to little head comment).<br /> It's just fit issues though.

I generally don't do long, pointy shoes because my feet stick out enough on their own. I feel no need to elongate them!</p> <p>Smallish head -- most knit hats fit me fine, but I need a kids or petite size for hats with a brim</p> <p>Broad, square shoulders -- wider than my hips! Certain shirt styles give me a "linebacker" look. Cap sleeves often end up looking like weird sleeveless shirts. Inherited this trait from my mom. :)&nbsp;</p> <p>Oh, and I apparently have a long nose, because every mask I've tried smooshes it, even the ones that are too big and go right up to my eyeballs!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oddly-shaped-or-sized-body-part#post-2138284 Thu, 13 Aug 2020 16:37:03 +0000 Echo 2138284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha!

More of a pain than sleeve length even!<br /> I do also have a pretty short torso.<br /> Like Janet, my height is all leg, though I’m not tall. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oddly-shaped-or-sized-body-part#post-2138264 Thu, 13 Aug 2020 16:02:05 +0000 Helena 2138264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laughing at Janet's comment; my head is the opposite, it looks massive in photos imo! I feel like Elaine in the Seinfeld episode where her ex-boyfriend told her she had a big head and then everything made her feel self-conscious, including when the bird flew into her head lol!!!!</p> <p><strong>Elaine</strong>: A bird ran into my giant freak-head.<br /><strong>Jerry</strong>: What giant freak-head?<br /><strong>Elaine</strong>: The one that sits atop my disproportionately puny body.

But when my son was younger I used to look at other children and think their heads were unusually small, when in fact, it was just the opposite - my son's head was unusually big!</p> <p>Preppy Pear, my daughter has size 11 feet, too. Funny, when Dh and I went to the Netherlands, size 11 (or its equivalent) was common in stores. Much like plus sized clothing, it cannot be that unusual a size in the US, so why do stores not carry as much stock in an 11 as they do in an 8? It is frustrating to have to order shoes for her since they're so hard to find in stores.&nbsp;</p> <p>As an aside, along with the curly hair, I've always wished I had very small feet because one can get amazing deals on shoes if they have tiny feet! At end-of-season sales, it seems there are always sizes 5 and 6 left!</p> <p>KikiG, I've noticed the same thing. I don't think I look as oddly proportioned in the mirror as I seem to be. I've seen people with noticeably short arms, and I don't seem to look like it. But, as I said, combined with the fact that I have a long torso, it makes things hard to fit. I am a comfortable height while sitting with Dh to hold a conversation because of the length of my torso, but when we stand up, he is 6'8" and I am 5'3", so I also have short legs. I guess I have become so used to almost any pants fitting me as full length that I don't really notice that anymore! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oddly-shaped-or-sized-body-part#post-2138253 Thu, 13 Aug 2020 14:57:32 +0000 Janet 2138253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Child-sized head — I always look weird in group photos, like I’m behind everyone else. Makes eyeglass frame shopping a challenge, and hats need to be available in small sizes or adjustable to work on me. </p> <p>My torso is also almost freakishly short for someone my height. Probably would have been more in proportion if I’d had a brace or surgery for scoliosis as a young teen, but too late for that now. When seated, I look very short. All my height is in my legs. I think I have the torso of a 5’3” person and the inseam of a 5’10” person! LOL </p> <p>To all of you who wished for curly hair, I would have happily traded you when I was young. I HATED my curly hair. Got teased for it, it was always a frizz bomb, hard to manage. It’s thinner, less curly, and more manageable now that I’m older. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oddly-shaped-or-sized-body-part#post-2138250 Thu, 13 Aug 2020 14:43:18 +0000 KikiG 2138250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Club T-rex, with extra short torso.&nbsp; I order petite suit jackets with 3/4 sleeves, and they fit like regular sleeves.&nbsp; Oddly enough, I don't look funny to the casual glance as one might think.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oddly-shaped-or-sized-body-part#post-2138246 Thu, 13 Aug 2020 14:01:14 +0000 AliceWonders 2138246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m short waisted. There is only a couple of inches between the bottom of my rib cage and my hip bones. I have so many outfits with shirts tucked into skirts saved in my Pinterest folders, but it’s the worst possible look for me. I also have to carefully consider the proportions of dresses and fitted shirts -the waists are often too low for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oddly-shaped-or-sized-body-part#post-2138245 Thu, 13 Aug 2020 13:49:31 +0000 Pat_P 2138245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Big head here!

I am bony and always have been. Leggings and skinny pants are not “filled out” my my legs so always look more like straights. Back when choker necklaces were all the rage, they were all too long unless I had them custom made. My head is small and children’s hats fit best. Feet were narrow until I had children. Then they got wider and a bit longer and I could wear regular shoes. </p>
