Maybe a picture will help? I find that the recommendations for the hourglass body shape are usually more suited to me, but I can definitely use some of the recommendations for IT as well, which is why I thought hourglass first and IT secondary. A picture would really help at this point but I'm not sure how to link one? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-determine-my-body-type#post-2031748 Sat, 01 Jun 2019 10:40:22 +0000 Staysfit 2031748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome to YLF! I like your screen name!<br /> I have a feeling you would be an IT with hourglass as a secondary. If your shoulders dominate, then you would need to factor them in when you consider the types of styles that you wear if you want to go for what looks conventionally flattering. My frame has both IT and rectangular characteristics, The athletic part predominates, and the IT is less noticeable, so I mostly adhere to suggestions for athletic, rectangular builds, and IT comes secondary. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-determine-my-body-type#post-2031692 Sat, 01 Jun 2019 01:20:04 +0000 Bonnie 2031692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad you joined us.

It does seem that you are an hourglass with IT tendencies. Read the reccommdations for both.<br /> <a href="https://youlookfab.com/2014/02/06/how-to-dress-the-inverted-triangle-body-type-2014/" rel="nofollow">https://youlookfab.com/2014/02.....type-2014/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-determine-my-body-type#post-2031677 Fri, 31 May 2019 23:26:27 +0000 chochipcookie 2031677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey guys! This has been bugging me a long time. When I use calculators they always say hourglass but I feel otherwise. I think I may be an hourglass with I.T tendencies? My measurements are 38-26.5-37 and shoulders are 38. However, from the front it looks more I.T like. Without my shoulders, my bust and hips align nicely with a well defined waist. But bring in my arms and shoulders and they seem to overpower everything. From the front, my shoulders measure 15 inches across and my hips measure 13 inches across, could that be why?</p> <p>I'd love to attach a picture but from what I've seen it's best to do that first thing in the morning in form fitting clothes from a straight on angle, so I'll have to do that tomorrow.</p> <p>I'm new here by the way, hi! </p>
