It's so great that you like your long waist! I'm short-waisted but generally dress as if I were long-waisted, wearing lower rise pants, etc., to lengthen my torso! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/proofing-my-body-type#post-1045602 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 18:19:59 +0000 Anonymous 1045602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with the long hour glass too. I would also be interested in a link to that post on waist length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/proofing-my-body-type#post-1045599 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 18:16:23 +0000 Janet 1045599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jurocha, can you link to that post about measuring for short- or long-waistedness? I've never seen that before. I'm pretty sure by any measurement I am quite short-waisted, but I'm curious... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/proofing-my-body-type#post-1045542 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 16:37:43 +0000 jurocha 1045542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Echo: I found Angie's post about a formula to discover whether you're long-waisted or not. Eye-opening moment: I can fit almost 3 (2,5 for sure!) hands between my bust and my belly-button... This means I am long-waisted.</p> <p>I learned some "tips" for dressing this body-type from the same post. But I also noticed that I don't care for a long-leg line as much as I should. I actually like the "disproportional" look of a longer torso... Good news: my body is in sync with my own preferences. I am a lucky one, after all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/proofing-my-body-type#post-1045535 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 16:27:42 +0000 Echo 1045535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If there are pear tendencies, they are very slight. I don't see that your hips are at all wider than your shoulders. You look like a straight-up hourglass to me. I will leave long waisted-ness (although that isn't technically a word) for a better camera shot.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/proofing-my-body-type#post-1045528 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 16:17:39 +0000 jurocha 1045528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, girls! I will try posting a picture from a better angle. But I am satisfied with your assessment already. I've been watching my body closely lately and I was inclined to say "hourglass/pear", since you agreed... I guess we are alright. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/proofing-my-body-type#post-1045454 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 13:28:05 +0000 Janet 1045454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really think the camera angle is giving some distortion here. If you can get a picture from further back from the mirror, that would help. I have a feeling this is making your torso look longer and your legs shorter than they actually are. Phone cameras are notorious for distorting images. </p> <p>I would guess you are an hourglass, but if you really want to know, I would try having someone else take a picture from a bit of distance, and not hold the camera too high or too low. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/proofing-my-body-type#post-1045447 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 13:16:32 +0000 Lantana 1045447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hourglass. Your shoulder width and hip width are the same and you have a defined waist. Not a curvy houglass, more a willowy one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/proofing-my-body-type#post-1045429 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 12:48:38 +0000 Suz 1045429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Again, the camera angle could be drastically influencing what we see but my guess is hourglass. Great figure!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/proofing-my-body-type#post-1045399 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 10:58:50 +0000 Anonymous 1045399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I say a long hourglass or slight pear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/proofing-my-body-type#post-1045391 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 10:23:42 +0000 jurocha 1045391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was suspecting to be a pear myself. I guess the inverted triangle idea I had was more due my former aversion to shoulder details on clothes than a true assessment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/proofing-my-body-type#post-1045389 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 10:17:34 +0000 anne 1045389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't see IT actually. I think you a long torso hourglass or X shape. If any thing a slight lean to pear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/proofing-my-body-type#post-1045386 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 10:10:28 +0000 jurocha 1045386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Since my last online order also has some winter sports gear on it, I decided to ask you ladies to proof my body type. To my eyes, I am an inverted triangle going towards hourglass. </p> <p>Is it correct?<br /> (I look like a sausage in this combo. But hey, its gear! It is supposed to be under everything else, so apart from us no one is ever going to see my as the terrible gray sausage!) </p>
