I'm definitely getting straighter. I appreciate it so much that you were able to clariify my body shape. I've reviewed the racy rectangle guidelines: belted jackets and coats, tops &amp; dresses with ruching, pencil skirts ...yes those are flattering for me. I will have to experiment with a wider belt. I've avoided belts as they seem to thicken me but mine are all thin. Thanks again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/repost-newbie-help-with-body-type#post-131616 Sat, 06 Mar 2010 18:26:46 +0000 Angie 131616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, DH! You have a very similar body to me :0). You are slap bang in the middle of hourglass and rectangle. A straight-ish hourglass is what I like to say. I use a lot of the rectangle guidelines though, just because I seem to be getting straighter. I look forward to seeing more of you and your style, ladyjane. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/repost-newbie-help-with-body-type#post-131613 Sat, 06 Mar 2010 18:17:33 +0000 ladyjane 131613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had my DH take them this time. Hopefully my sihouette is more clear</p> <p><a href="http://i644.photobucket.com/albums/uu165/ladygrey64/DSC_8953_001.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i644.photobucket.com/al.....53_001.jpg</a></p> <p><a href="http://i644.photobucket.com/albums/uu165/ladygrey64/DSC_8959_007.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i644.photobucket.com/al.....59_007.jpg</a></p> <p><a href="http://i644.photobucket.com/albums/uu165/ladygrey64/DSC_8955_003.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i644.photobucket.com/al.....55_003.jpg</a></p> <p>Thanks for your input </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/repost-newbie-help-with-body-type#post-131474 Sat, 06 Mar 2010 02:10:06 +0000 Angie 131474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome to the forum! Thanks for posting your pic, but I need your legs straight in order to see the silhouette of your body! Think you can post another picture? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/repost-newbie-help-with-body-type#post-131461 Sat, 06 Mar 2010 01:24:52 +0000 ladyjane 131461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for your replies. My measurements are 35-26-36 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/repost-newbie-help-with-body-type#post-131459 Sat, 06 Mar 2010 01:09:05 +0000 Kristine 131459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think so too, hourglass with rectangle tendencies? If you can post your measurements, or just think about them yourself, it might help. I think the general rule is less than 9 or 10" (between bust-waist-hips) is closer to rectangle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/repost-newbie-help-with-body-type#post-131429 Fri, 05 Mar 2010 23:03:14 +0000 Queen Mum 131429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>well, Angie has the final say on body types around here, but I'm going to take a stab at it to see how I do ;-)<br /> You look slightly hourglass and slightly rectangular to me. Maybe a rectangular hourglass? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/repost-newbie-help-with-body-type#post-131421 Fri, 05 Mar 2010 22:48:18 +0000 ladyjane 131421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi here is another photo that is hopefully more clear. Please help me determine my body shape.<br /> <a href="http://i644.photobucket.com/albums/uu165/ladygrey64/sil.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i644.photobucket.com/al.....64/sil.jpg</a></p> <p>Thanks so much. </p>
