I love that dress, and after reading Angies recent post about uni leg Maxi skirts, I can appreciate it even more!</p> <p>Every time someone posts their pearls, If I have a moment, I am looking at their WIW's. This is very helpful in getting some concrete understanding of the proportions. I am learning so much! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/share-your-favorite-proportion-pearls-of-wisdom/page/3#post-1492320 Sat, 16 May 2015 05:38:47 +0000 Adelfa 1492320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My recent realization--as in realizing I was already doing it--is that I need a defined hipline to feel okay. I have broad shoulders and narrower hips; and hormones and stress have done unkind things to my midsection. But if I wear a pair of jeans or a slim skirt with a fluid top, I feel good.</p> <p>As for the top of me, with my square shoulders and short neck (and big head too), it's definitely open necklines all the way! Vs or anything carved out. I think I like moto styling because the collar forms a V. My constant challenge is picking necklines low enough for flattery and high enough for work appropriateness.</p> <p>Great to hear everyone's thought process! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/share-your-favorite-proportion-pearls-of-wisdom/page/3#post-1492280 Sat, 16 May 2015 02:25:21 +0000 tulle 1492280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>E., a close friend has a figure very like yours, and she's always looked best in square and deep U-shaped necklines, too.&nbsp; So feminine with a neat waist.</p> <p>Suz, do you find that you can wear longer (tunic-length) cardigans, if you leave them unbuttoned?&nbsp; I don't look good in tunics, either, but long, narrow cardigans give me a slouchy 1920s feel that I like a lot.</p> <p>Staysfit, just wanted to say that I thought the proportions of that long striped knit dress &amp; short cardigan in your other post were just right.&nbsp; And a toned body deserves a dress like that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/share-your-favorite-proportion-pearls-of-wisdom/page/3#post-1492273 Sat, 16 May 2015 01:52:21 +0000 E 1492273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As someone with a long rise, long torso, shorter legs, shoulders slightly broader than my hips (my hip measurement is all in my bum, not the width of my hip bones, and my widest point is the top of my thighs vs hip shelf), and a slim waist, the most traditionally figure balancing look I can wear is a fitted top tucked into a full skirt that hits at my natural waist (and is fitted there) and ends around knee length. The fullness of the skirt makes my hips &amp; shoulders look equal and exaggerates my waist's size by comparison, moving me more towards the hourglass 'ideal' &amp; that length/style skirt gives the impression of longer legs too. &nbsp;Oh &amp; peplums work well, for similar hip-volumising issues, as long as the waist seam matches my natural waist. Usually they hit too high, on my ribcage instead, which makes me look boxier. Empire waists are not the most flattering option.</p> <p>As someone with a delicate, widely set bosom (traditional cleavage is pretty much a physical impossibility!), I've noticed body con knits with a round neckline (either crew or scoop) make me look bustier. And square necklines best play up my decolletage; I think because of the contrast between the straight lines of the clothing &amp; the rounded lines of my chest.</p> <p>My short neck looks longest if I'm either wearing my hair up or down at chin length or shorter.</p> <p>I have to pay close attention to the armscye region; a lot of armholes hit significantly lower than my actual armpit, which makes for a sloppy looking garment.</p> <p>My small curves look best in either very fitted looks to show them or deliberately waist surrendering/voluminous ones. The in-between ground of 'tailored,' like the traditional button down shirt, is very tricky, as it tends to just make me look boxy. Especially in wovens!</p> <p>That's about all I can think of for now! In case it helps anyone else. This thread has been great fun to read!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/share-your-favorite-proportion-pearls-of-wisdom/page/3#post-1492265 Sat, 16 May 2015 01:08:42 +0000 Staysfit 1492265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry I haven't checked back in for a while, I had a long work day! I am learning so much by reading everyone's pearls! Thanks for all the helpful tips everyone! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/share-your-favorite-proportion-pearls-of-wisdom/page/3#post-1492262 Sat, 16 May 2015 01:00:53 +0000 columbine(erin) 1492262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll have to back to read all the responses. What an educational thread, thanks for starting it Staysfit. </p> <p>I don't know if I have pearls to offer, but I do know as a curvy petite with full hips that I'm careful about waistlines on skirts and dresses. I look for dresses and skirts without gathers or large pleats, because they add bulk just where I don't want it, making me look both pregnant and pearish. Full skirts look cute on short me but it sure isn't elegant! Petite knee length sheath dresses have been my friend as they hit my defined waist in the right spot. Tucked high waists give me a longer leg line but also very pearish in the back view. It's not my favorite look on myself for that reason. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/share-your-favorite-proportion-pearls-of-wisdom/page/3#post-1492183 Fri, 15 May 2015 20:33:54 +0000 Karie 1492183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think tunics and untucked button-downs are my friends as they help even out my proportions. Me in a cropped top is another "sign me up for the circus" look.I feel like I basically have no waist, as there is only an 8" difference between my waist and my hips, and a 5.5" difference between my waist and my bust.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/share-your-favorite-proportion-pearls-of-wisdom/page/3#post-1492108 Fri, 15 May 2015 16:32:24 +0000 Suz 1492108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>UKSue, thank you for the kind compliments! I am blushing. </p> <p>You're right - I do have some curves -- Angie dubbed me a slim hourglass/rectangle. There is no hourglass at all up top (except my shoulders) -- the curvy bits are on the bottom half. But it does mean I have a waist of sorts to show. Not a hugely defined one, but a waist nonetheless.&nbsp;</p> <p>Related to tunics -- I do like trapeze shaped tops on me a lot. Waist surrender works really well. But I don't wear the tops tunic length -- it just seems to throw things off on me.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/share-your-favorite-proportion-pearls-of-wisdom/page/3#post-1492095 Fri, 15 May 2015 15:54:38 +0000 tulle 1492095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting question! In general, I've found the old rule of top/bottom contrast in silhouette to be helpful:&nbsp; if one is tight or narrow, the other should be loose or wide, etc.&nbsp; (I think I found that in the Kibbe book, long ago; it must appeal to my Libra need for balance.)&nbsp; Dressing myself (5'2", with a short torso and longish neck &amp; limbs) I start with the neckline:&nbsp; big or fussy collars are out, but narrow, sharp ones work, and the very best is a simple, round neckline that grazes my collarbone--if I can find that in a tee, dress, or sweater, everything else seems to fall into place. After that, shoulders should be precise, not sloppy, and sleeves fitted. Cropped jackets, narrow-legged pants, 3/4- or elbow-length sleeves, and shoes with 2" heels all make me feel better proportioned, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/share-your-favorite-proportion-pearls-of-wisdom/page/2#post-1492094 Fri, 15 May 2015 15:53:36 +0000 Karie 1492094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a great thread! Team giraffe neck reporting for duty. I have a long neck, long face, long legs, narrow shoulders, slightly short torso, and finding my boobs is like a game of "Where's Waldo." From shoulder to shoulder I am exactly the same measurement as I am from hip to hip. I don't have any pearls of wisdom, but here's what I've noticed about me:</p> <p>A&nbsp;skirt with a high waist&nbsp;looks horrible on me. Horrible! Like, sign me up for the circus NOW.</p> <p>Tops must have structure at the neckline and/or at the shoulder line. No V necks! </p> <p>I look best when I visibly lengthen the rise, whether it's with an untucked top or a mid to lower rise pant with a semi tuck. </p> <p>I think cropped pants were made specifically for me. </p> <p>I can tuck in tops with skirts and wear a belt with a straight or sack dress, but if you look closely you will see the&nbsp;skirt/belt is&nbsp;usually worn slightly below my natural waist or the top is bloused out a bit.&nbsp;</p> <p>Dresses are hard to fit when they have a defined waist, because the waist is usually slightly off.</p> <p>Clothiers that "get" me? Gap, definitely Gap. Do you remember the episode of Seinfeld where Elaine finds a mannequin that looks just like her? Gap must have a mannequin of me. J. Crew usually gets me, as does BR. There used to be a Geoffrey Beene store in the outlet centers and WOW did they get me, but probably because they primarily made clothes for men!</p> <p>Thanks for starting this discussion, Staysfit!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/share-your-favorite-proportion-pearls-of-wisdom/page/2#post-1492072 Fri, 15 May 2015 14:53:11 +0000 Suz 1492072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya, your longer hair allows you to wear some necklines that would not work on those with shorter hair and your body type. But your longer neck allows you to wear the necklines that do work on long-necked, short haired types.&nbsp;</p> <p>You also have a longer waist, which visually means a lower neckline won't seem as low on you. I'm shorter, and slightly SHORT waisted (with a long rise), which means the lower necklines can look really low on me.&nbsp;</p> <p>I think you look great in tunics, too. Your limbs are relatively slender and the longer calves (relatively) help a lot.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/share-your-favorite-proportion-pearls-of-wisdom/page/2#post-1492071 Fri, 15 May 2015 14:50:58 +0000 UK Sue 1492071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think we are, Staysfit! I also have an oval rather than round/square/heart face, though am only 5 foot 6 inches tall. I am a big fan of scarves (soft rectangular ones) doubled around the neck to fill in the gap and provide a long column focus point downwards. Very useful for covering up a neckline that is not quite right and covering the SNP if necessary. Long pendants also work for me to break up the expanse of chest left with a high neckline and wide shoulders and small/average bust, and in wintertime I live in roll-neck sweaters.<br /> Suz - maybe it is because you have slightly more interesting curves than me? I am quite angular and I am wondering if this has anything to do with the whole tuck issue for me. You always look fab - you were the first WIW person I spotted after finding Angie and this site and a lot of your outfits that you posted are now pinned to my secret Pinterest board of looks that I love! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/share-your-favorite-proportion-pearls-of-wisdom/page/2#post-1492067 Fri, 15 May 2015 14:16:46 +0000 Tanya 1492067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am very late here (life has been crazy busy lately) but what a fascinating discussion, that you for starting it Staysfit!</p> <p>I am another member of the Giraffe neck club, and my proportions are similar to Suz and UK Sue, with some differences.&nbsp; I have a very long neck ( and long arms, long upper body, long waist, long rise), and short legs on the other side.&nbsp; The shortness in my legs is in the thighs, the calves have relatively average length.</p> <p>When it comes to considering necklines,&nbsp; I generally look better in higher ones.&nbsp; However, while I have long neck and small-to-medium bust, my shoulders are fairly square ( not very wide, but not narrow idea, they look sort of like clothes hanger) and I have longer hair, so I feel this allows me to get away with other more open necklines.&nbsp; I wear deeper V-s, wraps, halters, off-the shoulder necklines, sweethearts, strapless etc.&nbsp; I will admit that I am not a great judge on flattery of necklines, because I can say which are great (higher ones ) and which are horrible (super wide and open scoops) but most look medium flattering to me and if I like them I will wear them.&nbsp;&nbsp; At some point when I have time I will post a proportion lab type of post with various necklines for you to analyze which ones are good and which ones not so much.</p> <p>Having very long waist and short legs, I do find what Suz says about skirts vs. pants and hiding the rise true.&nbsp; However, I wear jeans/pants 90% of the time so can not take advantage of that a lot. I think that tunics look fine on me, I actually wear tunic/shirtdress over skinnies silhouette fairly often. </p> <p>I used to be very concerned about elongating my leg line ( wedges, never tucking into lower waist bottoms etc.), but in the past couple of years I have relaxed a lot and do a lot of JFE outfits in that respects - I wear lots of flats, semi-tucks and jeans rolled just above the ankle these days.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/share-your-favorite-proportion-pearls-of-wisdom/page/2#post-1492042 Fri, 15 May 2015 13:17:15 +0000 Staysfit 1492042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As a proportion triplet with Suz and UK Sue, except in height, I can wear a tunic, but they often look boxy unless there is some waist definition.. There are other more flattering tops. I like them in the summer when it's hot and I want something loose. I'm willing to sacrifice somewhat on best look for comfort. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/share-your-favorite-proportion-pearls-of-wisdom/page/2#post-1492040 Fri, 15 May 2015 13:08:54 +0000 Suz 1492040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>UK Sue -- sounds like we are near body doubles! But I do not care for tunic length tops on myself at <b>ALL</b>. And I far prefer to tuck and belt or semi-tuck. Interesting!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/share-your-favorite-proportion-pearls-of-wisdom/page/2#post-1491992 Fri, 15 May 2015 09:50:51 +0000 lyn67 1491992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, some picties would have been so helpful indeed, but approximately got the point. Gaylene is also right! Could never articulate it so well she did, as I have had the same issues with the boats:-)) and Suz's &nbsp;skirts for a long rise was my matra for years! Now off to read others &nbsp;wise comments!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/share-your-favorite-proportion-pearls-of-wisdom/page/2#post-1491988 Fri, 15 May 2015 09:19:29 +0000 Staysfit 1491988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cocolotion, I have a very small head in comparison to the rest of me, and my face is also relatively small. I tend to prefer some skin showing at my throat rather than buttoning all the way up, and when I wear turtle necks or cowls, Marley once pointed out that softer versions worked better than stiff. </p> <p>Your inclusion of head size has me thinking! </p> <p>UK Sue, it sounds like we are proportion twins! </p> <p>Marley, I know you say you cannot wear chokers, but I wonder if jewelry can be used to camouflage or help with any of our proportion issues? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/share-your-favorite-proportion-pearls-of-wisdom/page/2#post-1491981 Fri, 15 May 2015 07:58:20 +0000 UK Sue 1491981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another fabulous discussion - thank you ladies!<br /> I am also a fellow member of Team Giraffe with short hair, a square SNP and wider shoulders and a small-average bust and slender build. I also find higher necks, boat necks, crews and shirts/items with a collar work best for me, along with a small cowl that comes up to the SNP and a narrow small v-neck. Fitted shoulder seams and narrower arms also suit. It also goes with my tailored style personality. However I have a question - why do dolman, batwing and raglan sleeves not work despite having square shoulders, but things that are a much wider drape (albeit with a little structure) do? I have a high-neck poncho and a fabulous but mad top that I have that is basically a round circle with a hole in it and a tie under the bust that look fine (or maybe they don't - I guess I had better post some pictures!).<br /> My bottom half has a very long rise and so proportionately shorter legs, especially my calves, and I carry any extra weight on the top of my thighs. I also have ridiculous feet and have to wear orthotics so closed shoes only and no more than 1 inch heels. I am a neat hourglass/rectangle. Like Staysfit I look better in straight-leg trousers and need some waist definition. However I look grim in a belt and also the part tuck doesn't work for me, which I don't understand - I look better in something that comes down to the top of my thighs, which theoretically doesn't work as that is my widest point. Go figure!<br /> How fascinating it all is and how wonderful to have found such a knowledgable forum who are so generously willing to share all they know! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/share-your-favorite-proportion-pearls-of-wisdom/page/2#post-1491978 Fri, 15 May 2015 07:36:02 +0000 CocoLion 1491978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My biggest pearls of wisdom are:<br />- wear open or v necklines due to my short neck and small head. &nbsp;So, the opposite of you StaysFit.<br />- take great care in selecting where my tops end. &nbsp;Particularly, avoid tops that end right at the fullest part of my hips, drawing the eye right there.</p> <p>I didn't read all of the response so apologies if this is redundant. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/share-your-favorite-proportion-pearls-of-wisdom/page/2#post-1491967 Fri, 15 May 2015 06:34:12 +0000 Gigi 1491967@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haven't read all the responses, but I remember reading on Kelly's Alterations Needed blog that if you are short-waisted, you can visually extend the length of your torso by wearing a belt that is the same color as your top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/share-your-favorite-proportion-pearls-of-wisdom/page/2#post-1491959 Fri, 15 May 2015 05:49:31 +0000 Marley 1491959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a short neck - as well as a muscular looking neck - broad and muscular shoulders. The shoulder-neck point is a very important thing for me to be aware of when choosing tops for myself! I always, always, always, have to cover the shoulder-neck point - which doesn't make sense because isn't that what a long-necked slim shouldered person is supposed to do? I just know that I absolutely can<i>not </i>wear a boat-neck top - it only makes my shoulders look broader and my neck shorter. I also have a really tough time with any type of "choker" necklace or short statement type of necklaces. Again, they shorten my neck and look as though I am being strangled! Also, as much as I've tried to wear a buttoned up shirt buttoned all the way to the top button - I just can't do it! There is just not enough room between my upper chest and my chin to get all of those buttons buttoned! (Actually, I have a difficult time wearing a buttoned up shirt - period - even when leaving the top couple of buttons un-buttoned because my chin gets "stuck" in the collar! Seriously! So annoying!) I have found that a collared neckline only works on me if I pop the back part of the collar - not the front. By popping the back, I can get a vertical and slimming line coming around to the front of my neck and it works. Slender V-Necks, obviously, work well for me.</p> <p>Being someone without much of a butt, I really like the semi-tuck because the soft roundness of the back gives the illusion of having a nice round butt!</p> <p>And - one last thing. Eye- or sun-glasses. My eyes are large and round. My nose is large and round. Round glasses on me are <i>horrible!</i>&nbsp;They only emphasize the roundness of my nose - I look as though I have 3 noses! LOL! I need to wear a shape of glasses that counteracts all of that roundness.</p> <p>And - another last thing. &nbsp;Hair and face shape. I have a pointy chin and therefore would look better if I wore a hairstyle that balanced out that point with some soft curls on the sides. I'm not sure what length of hair looks best on someone with a short neck? It seems that since longer hair seems to work well on someone with a long neck, that shorter hair would work better on someone like me - but I'm not sure. I wonder if it's better to cover up my thick, muscle-y neck?</p> <p>Midi skirt length is best on me just right below my knee - because, like Suz, the length of my leg from knee to ankle is short in relation to the length of hip to knee.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/share-your-favorite-proportion-pearls-of-wisdom/page/2#post-1491772 Thu, 14 May 2015 22:15:13 +0000 DonnaF 1491772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love chunky footwear, especially with platforms, since inflexible shoes is what the podiatrist ordered.&nbsp; Plus, I thought the chunkiness would balance my athletic calves.&nbsp; Well. . . .if one is 5' 1", there's a point at which somewhat outrageous footwear becomes ridiculous and is just.too.overwhelming.&nbsp; Back to moderation.</p> <p>Actually, I think the same is true with other styles.&nbsp; My shoulders are on the narrow side and my facial features are fairly small.&nbsp; My frame is merely small, not tiny, but certain things can still overwhelm than I'd like.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/share-your-favorite-proportion-pearls-of-wisdom/page/2#post-1491752 Thu, 14 May 2015 21:25:16 +0000 Staysfit 1491752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Unfrumped, I'm glad you brought up shoes. I haven't considered toe shape to coordinate with what I am wearing, but I have some shoe rules for myself also. </p> <p> For example, I cannot wear Birkenstock Arizonas, but I can wear the Floridas. If you look at them, the big difference is the width of the strap going over the arch of the foot. I do much better with a narrow to medium narrow strap on a sandal. I'm guessing that has to do with my calf size being small, and my overall frame being small, because I am tall and my thighs are powerful and muscular. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/share-your-favorite-proportion-pearls-of-wisdom/page/2#post-1491743 Thu, 14 May 2015 21:07:53 +0000 texstyle 1491743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great insights!&nbsp; Fun post Staysfit. </p> <p>Thinking about neck and collar proportions, I find that sometimes when I put on a certain top I just "need" to put my hair up. My striped top today is a good example. Maybe it's the slighter higher neckline&nbsp; and covered collarbone area that makes me feel this need as my neck is neither short, nor long but with my hair down it can likely appear shorter so I probably need a deep v or something to balance it. Maybe that's why I usually like v-necks so much.</p> <p>And unfrumped - I know what you mean about shoes. I feel too much like an ice cream cone in pointy shoes or overly delicate shoes myself. Since I wear a lot of shorts and cropped pants I've found that shoe choice is so much more of a factor. Not that it wasn't already a huge factor.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/share-your-favorite-proportion-pearls-of-wisdom/page/2#post-1491737 Thu, 14 May 2015 20:39:18 +0000 unfrumped 1491737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lots of good lessons here!</p> <p>One that was a surprise to me was that shoes that were too slim, pointed or "insubstantial" do not&nbsp;look that great&nbsp;on me with a tapered, slim pant. Since with that style of pants I'm already pushing the envelope on the ice-cream cone effect, "small shoes" make that worse, and instead I need something to balance the hips. Kind of like the bootlcut effect. I don't&nbsp; need FrankenShoes, but need more rounded shape, such as a real loafer instead of a pointy flat; can take some chunk in the heel, some vamp; if pointy, need to have more substance, like a shootie, than a ballet flat.<br />Also, while "twee" may not be the right word, the look was not what I wanted. Too dainty or too&nbsp;Mary Tyler Moore&nbsp;or something. &nbsp;Something about needing juxtaposition.</p> <p>This was an interesting revelation to me because I just assumed that it'd be good to wear dressier shoes, or pointy-toes if I had them.</p> <p>It also was a bit disappointing to find yet another "proportion limitation" regarding what goes with what.&nbsp; Sheesh.&nbsp; However it did help me get more focused in looking out for the right shoes for the right bottoms. And it reminds me to Try Things On with the intended partners. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/share-your-favorite-proportion-pearls-of-wisdom/page/2#post-1491727 Thu, 14 May 2015 20:06:57 +0000 Suz 1491727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is so fascinating.
