I should come here more often. I have NEVER received so many compliments in my life! You have made my weekend!</p> <p>My arms aren't that great as they are flabby. Someone asked if I had a short back, and I think the answer is no. Maybe regular or average? My shirts and tops are sort of long because I like them to help hide my belly. I'm not terribly worried about how my belly looks (I'm a proud mama of three beautiful kids!) as much as I am worried about it for health reasons. </p> <p>I do agree with the poster who said something about an apple middle due to belly bulge. As I took the pic from the front, it doesn't show, AND I was wearing control-top tights! :-)</p> <p>Yes, I love wearing dresses, but don't always find the right type. I think a wrap or faux wrap would be nice and would help hide belly bulge. </p> <p>You have all been so kind. I've had a rough year and I am so happy to be a part of this group. Thank you! Thank you!

I think I'm an hourglass with a smidge of the 2 c section apple tummy too! Beautiful, aren't we? great legs! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/putting-myself-out-here-need-help-on-body-type#post-570438 Sat, 17 Mar 2012 20:16:55 +0000 Meghan R 570438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for hourglass! You have a gorgeous, shapely figure. I don't see you as a pear. </p> <p>And hooray! for being brave enough to post a body type pic:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/putting-myself-out-here-need-help-on-body-type#post-570353 Sat, 17 Mar 2012 19:02:54 +0000 Vix 570353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree that it's a smidge hard to be definite given your arm position, but you do look *very* much an Hourglass to me as well. </p> <p>[I guess there's a possibility of a very slight Triangle/Pear, but if so your shoulder-hip proportions can't be too far apart.]</p> <p>Lots to play up here...waist, legs, hips, shoulders/arms...whether all at once or bit-by-bit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/putting-myself-out-here-need-help-on-body-type#post-570325 Sat, 17 Mar 2012 18:33:18 +0000 ManidipaM 570325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you're an hourglass with maybe a tiny side order of IT --- and you have BEAUTIFUL arms and legs! So shapely --- just like your lovely, lovely hair! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/putting-myself-out-here-need-help-on-body-type#post-570197 Sat, 17 Mar 2012 16:12:07 +0000 Freckles 570197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous figure, don't see extra weight at all. You may have poison eye on that...</p> <p>I am no expert but I think the ladies recommendation of hourglass fits the bill.</p> <p>Welcome to the forum. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/putting-myself-out-here-need-help-on-body-type#post-570104 Sat, 17 Mar 2012 13:11:40 +0000 Anonymous 570104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks like a beautiful hourglass to me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/putting-myself-out-here-need-help-on-body-type#post-570074 Sat, 17 Mar 2012 11:42:37 +0000 krishnidoux 570074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for hourglass. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/putting-myself-out-here-need-help-on-body-type#post-570072 Sat, 17 Mar 2012 11:27:59 +0000 Inge 570072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome to the forum, SA! You have a lovely figure!<br /> If your hips are a little wider than your shoulders (it's a little hard to tell in the picture because your arms are up) there may be some pear tendencies, but I definitely see waist definition and hourglassy traits too.</p> <p>If you like, you can bump this thread to get Angie's input after she's back from Chicago.</p> <p>Have a wonderful weekend! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/putting-myself-out-here-need-help-on-body-type#post-570065 Sat, 17 Mar 2012 10:52:55 +0000 Emily 570065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rock on, hourglass </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/putting-myself-out-here-need-help-on-body-type#post-570046 Sat, 17 Mar 2012 07:05:30 +0000 christieanne 570046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are smiling in the picture which is a good start </p> <p>I vote hourglass as well.

I think hourglass with secondary trait of apple (since you said you are carrying extra weight in the abdomen, although I can't see it in the picture). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/putting-myself-out-here-need-help-on-body-type#post-570027 Sat, 17 Mar 2012 06:02:09 +0000 jayne 570027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hourglass and to be specific, I guess a short back? You really need to go on Imogens site and read up there about shapes! So helpful to get started and make a list of do and dont for your particular shape.<br /> <a href="http://www.insideoutstyleblog.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.insideoutstyleblog.com/</a></p> <p>welcome (I am long back hourglass) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/putting-myself-out-here-need-help-on-body-type#post-569988 Sat, 17 Mar 2012 04:37:40 +0000 Beth Ann 569988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I say hourglass too, and welcome to the club! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/putting-myself-out-here-need-help-on-body-type#post-569977 Sat, 17 Mar 2012 04:23:28 +0000 Nakidra 569977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oh, I agree with dianthus!!! You have a wonderful shape.Do you like to wear dresses? I bet a dress that accentuates your waist would look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/putting-myself-out-here-need-help-on-body-type#post-569976 Sat, 17 Mar 2012 04:22:35 +0000 Meredith1953 569976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>SeattleAttic,<br /> First off ,welcome to the angst that is posting a body pic# Congratulations!<br /> Second. You are NOT squat! . The pic you have posted is of a very nicely proportioned lady! You have definition at the waist and your shoulders and hips seem to be in great balance. I am by no means any kind of judge but would classify (I hate that phrase) as an hourglass. with a slight emphasis on your shoulders . I personally love athletic shoulders. You must look awesome in halter styles! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/putting-myself-out-here-need-help-on-body-type#post-569971 Sat, 17 Mar 2012 04:12:48 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 569971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think you look squat at all. I think you look like a traditional hourglass. </p> <p>I think you have a pretty shape and bet you look gorgeous in a pencil skirt and pretty top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/putting-myself-out-here-need-help-on-body-type#post-569966 Sat, 17 Mar 2012 04:06:33 +0000 seattleattic 569966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, now that I've seen it up here, I feel like the image makes me look squat. I'm not squat, so I don't know if that will affect how you will be able to help me with body type. I kind of felt like I was pear-shaped, but now I don't know. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/putting-myself-out-here-need-help-on-body-type#post-569964 Sat, 17 Mar 2012 04:04:47 +0000 seattleattic 569964@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi all, I joined a bit back, but have decided to bite the bullet and post a photo to get help on body type. I am wearing black DKNY tights and a Yummie Tummie camisole.</p> <p>OK, I am 5 foot 5 inches and weigh about 168 lbs. I am a 36C and have a bit of waist definition which is fine, except that I have tummy bulge. Partly due to a C-section 6 1/2 years ago and partly due to being a bit overweight! </p> <p>Usually my thick curly hair is down and I am wearing contacts, but I thought that if I didn't take a pic tonight, I never would. So here I am, warts and all! </p>
