I really like the combo of your strong shoulder line and hourglass shape; I think you have a lot of dressing options for emphasizing your features. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-a-newbie#post-93496 Sun, 13 Sep 2009 13:49:54 +0000 Frenchie 93496@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you everyone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-a-newbie#post-93076 Fri, 11 Sep 2009 20:45:18 +0000 Inge 93076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A big welcome from me too Delphine. The lasses have your body shape sorted. I actually think you look great!! You have a fab little figure, there's nothing wrong with your arms at all, and if I looked that good in form-fitting clothes I'd fly to the US this very instant and buy everyone here a drink!-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-a-newbie#post-93070 Fri, 11 Sep 2009 20:32:34 +0000 Louise 93070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Delphine i'm so glad you feel a bit better, i was so sad reading your post earlier. I think it's awful when people use words like 'weird' and 'ugly' to describe themselves. I've got a big thing about positive body image at the moment and i hope we can help you feel fab soon x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-a-newbie#post-93029 Fri, 11 Sep 2009 17:07:00 +0000 sinead 93029@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Delphine, I would love to have your beautiful shoulders and hourglass figure. I predict that in a short time you will have lots of fun dressing your pretty shape. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-a-newbie#post-93023 Fri, 11 Sep 2009 16:50:57 +0000 Angie 93023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your English is wonderful, Delphine, I’m impressed! Welcome to our forum.</p> <p>You look like an hourglass. Lovely bod! Don’t let anyone else tell you differently. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-a-newbie#post-93016 Fri, 11 Sep 2009 16:37:56 +0000 Ana 93016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I beg to differ with your father. I'm not sure where you are from, but you don't look like any man I've ever seen. I agree that you are an hourglass. You have may have a slight tendency toward an inverted triangle. That is my body type too, and I have short legs like you. It's hard, but try not to let others get you down. There is nothing "wrong" with your body type (or anyone else's for that matter). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-a-newbie#post-92989 Fri, 11 Sep 2009 15:47:57 +0000 Tanya 92989@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Delphine and welcome! You are definitely a hourglass and have a beautiful figure. You most certainly do not look like a man with your tiny waist. Wear clothes that show it off! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-a-newbie#post-92965 Fri, 11 Sep 2009 14:23:22 +0000 Frenchie 92965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for your answer, I've spend my day reading this website and found a lot of good advice.</p> <p>I don't like my body because I used to be "very fat" (well, I've only lost 22lbs but looked fatter than I really was because of water retention and some allergies) and everyone keep saying I have "no hips" (well, it's true that 3 of my friends are pear) so I feel completely like "a man".</p> <p>So thank you everyone, your opinion helps me feel better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-a-newbie#post-92954 Fri, 11 Sep 2009 13:33:57 +0000 Alecia 92954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with the others. You look like an hourglass. My only difference I'd make is that I think you have inverted triangle tendencies. That's my shape, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-a-newbie#post-92947 Fri, 11 Sep 2009 13:28:29 +0000 lady-rach 92947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Edit - I don't think you were ever a rectangle with your previous measurements at all because you're bust and hips were equal!<br /> You are still a lovely hourglass shape with a beautiful waist so make the most of it as you have a gorgeous figure! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-a-newbie#post-92931 Fri, 11 Sep 2009 10:01:16 +0000 rute 92931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome!!!<br /> You have a shape similar to mine and I think you are an hourglass like me!</p> <p>Once you learn what is flattering on you you'll love your body! You have a stronger shoulder line and that is great and a nice waist, just focus on the posite aspects, not on the negative ones and think how can I have fun and take the best advantage of my body!<br /> You English is great by the way... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-a-newbie#post-92930 Fri, 11 Sep 2009 08:51:38 +0000 Louise 92930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look to me like you might be an hourglass you have a beautifully shaped torso x<br /> Edit- your arms look fine from here<br /> 2nd edit- and you certainly don't look ugly in form fitting clothes you look great<br /> 3rd edit- you don't look like a man at all </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-a-newbie#post-92928 Fri, 11 Sep 2009 08:21:07 +0000 Frenchie 92928@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Please, could you help me find my body shape and give me advice for dressing up. </p> <p>I took some photo with fitting clothes (so that's pretty ugly, I usually don't wear things like that).<br /> <a href="http://img193.imageshack.us/i/dsc00365r.jpg/" rel="nofollow">http://img193.imageshack.us/i/dsc00365r.jpg/</a><br /> <a href="http://img193.imageshack.us/i/dsc00366lx.jpg/" rel="nofollow">http://img193.imageshack.us/i/dsc00366lx.jpg/</a></p> <p>I know, my arms are weird-shaped. (I also have a small scoliosis and lordosis)</p> <p>My measurements are :</p> <p>39 (or 38,5) = shoulders<br /> 37 (a 34D in my country (and in the UK) and a 34C in the US, but I've lost some weight and am more likely to be a 32D) = bust<br /> 27 = waist<br /> 37 = hips</p> <p>(in cm it's actually : 98/100cm - 94 - 69 - 94 )</p> <p>I used some online calculators and turned out to be a "vase" (but I have short legs), an hourglass (I still think I have big shoulders) or a "S" (on myShape).</p> <p>My father likes to say I look like a man with my broad shoulders so I cannot see anything else on my body and would love to be a pear...</p> <p>Unfortunately, I think I am an inverted triangle... but my friends don't agree !</p> <p>Thank you for your help (and sorry if I make some mistakes in my sentences, I'm not very fluent in English but I love this language).</p> <p>EDIT: My measurement used to be 39-31-39 so I was a rectangle. </p>
