I have learned so much from all of you by reading your questions and answers. I'm always amazed at your wisdom, honesty, and kindness.</p> <p> I'm still having issues with fit and I appreciate Maya and Nicole sharing their insights. Muequita and eternalvoyager - thanks for the body shape assessment. At least I know that part now! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/possible-pear#post-38225 Sun, 07 Dec 2008 05:08:18 +0000 Maya 38225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know, I think I had the opposite problem. I was wearing my pants too tight because I kept hearing about how women wear their pants too big, and pants/jeans grow, etc. I started sizing up to a 27 and it's so much more comfortable.</p> <p>Anyway, welcome Chelle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/possible-pear#post-38224 Sun, 07 Dec 2008 04:01:28 +0000 Nicole 38224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>hi Chelle, welcome to the group. </p> <p>I agree that your pants are a size too big. I think this is a common mistake women make--thinking that looser clothes will make us look smaller--because we feel smaller if our pants are loose. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/possible-pear#post-38137 Sat, 06 Dec 2008 18:04:36 +0000 eternalvoyageur 38137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are definitely an hourglass. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/possible-pear#post-38129 Sat, 06 Dec 2008 17:26:20 +0000 Munequita 38129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely a slim hourglass! Welcome to the forum, Chelle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/possible-pear#post-38127 Sat, 06 Dec 2008 17:21:32 +0000 chelle 38127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for taking a look, Angie! I'll be looking over your hourglass recommendations. I have been checking out all of my pants. They all seem to be about a size too big. I guess I have comfort issues! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/possible-pear#post-37690 Thu, 04 Dec 2008 17:25:54 +0000 Angie 37690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yup. Hourglass for sure. I was thinking that you could down a size in your jeans. Good for you for noticing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/possible-pear#post-37689 Thu, 04 Dec 2008 17:21:19 +0000 chelle 37689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I wear basically the same size on top and bottom. I have a bad tendency to buy my bottoms a size too big. I'm working on buying the right size for me. </p> <p>At ATL I wear size 6 pants but have to alter the waist. Wish I could find a brand that did not need to be altered! I wear a Small or Xsmall dependending on the cut of the top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/possible-pear#post-37686 Thu, 04 Dec 2008 16:58:32 +0000 Angie 37686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You don’t look pear shaped at all. Thanks for taking another pic! You are a slim hour glass. Do you wear a bigger size on the bottom than on top? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/possible-pear#post-37676 Thu, 04 Dec 2008 15:47:29 +0000 chelle 37676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope this one is a little better!

I’m glad you’re enjoying our site. </p> <p>I wish I could see your silhouette a little better. The angle of the camera seems to be distorting my perception. By the looks of it you tend towards the pretty pear body type, but it could be the lens angle. Care to take more photos? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/possible-pear#post-37663 Thu, 04 Dec 2008 14:45:52 +0000 chelle 37663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If it is helpful, here are my measurements:<br /> 33<br /> 27<br /> 37</p> <p>As far as sizes, not sure if I wear a smaller size on top. At ATL I wear size 6 bottoms and Small or XSmall tops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/possible-pear#post-37662 Thu, 04 Dec 2008 14:16:24 +0000 chelle 37662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello all!</p> <p>Love this website! Hope you can help me identify my body type. I've included a side shot to show that I have a tummy. These are my NYDJ jeans that seem to enhance my roundness rather than smushing it. I don't wear them much!<br /> Anyway...thanks in advance and please let me know if I did something wrong with the links!</p> <p><a href="http://s703.photobucket.com/albums/ww38/chelle_bucket/" rel="nofollow">http://s703.photobucket.com/al.....le_bucket/</a><br /> <a href="http://s703.photobucket.com/albums/ww38/chelle_bucket/" rel="nofollow">http://s703.photobucket.com/al.....le_bucket/</a> </p>
