At 15, your body is still changing. You seem a bit of both inverted triangle and hourglass, so read suggestions for both and see what works best for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-confused#post-2191144 Fri, 30 Apr 2021 00:25:32 +0000 Nyah 201 2191144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much everyone ....

Look at yourself in the mirror, take selfies, and determine for yourself what you like. I think we often get caught up in finding out our *category*. What you are ultimately after is what *flatters* your shape. The best way to do that is to try stuff on and *look in the mirror* and really see what is there. Every body is different - even one body over time changes dramatically - even if you more or less fit into a sort of shape pattern, there are so many differences that one shape simply doesn't fit all. Also, the clothing recommendations based on body shape types often are targeted at a very standardized judgement of beauty; long legs, slim waist, plump bust. Not everyone cares or wants this. Decide for yourself what you like and how you want to look. Look at how clothes hang on you, and how you feel moving in them, and iterate as a response to what you learn. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-confused#post-2191077 Thu, 29 Apr 2021 20:48:52 +0000 RoseandJoan 2191077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Nyah, a photograph can be really helpful when determining body shape. </p> <p>If you have a front facing photo wearing close fitting clothing such as leggings and a vest I am sure we will be able to help. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-confused#post-2191075 Thu, 29 Apr 2021 20:46:46 +0000 Helena 2191075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yes, good point too Rachy </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-confused#post-2191074 Thu, 29 Apr 2021 20:46:25 +0000 Helena 2191074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, based on the measurements you share, could you be a bit of both? I don't think we always slot into body types totally cleanly. Sounds like you have the hourglass curves, with the more dominant shoulder line of the inverted triangle ... and might want to consider both when dressing? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-confused#post-2191073 Thu, 29 Apr 2021 20:44:37 +0000 rachylou 2191073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Side to side measurements, instead of circumference measurements, would be more telling I think... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-confused#post-2191071 Thu, 29 Apr 2021 20:39:33 +0000 Nyah 201 2191071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi everyone I really need some help figuring out if I'm an hourglass shape or more so a top hourglass or if I'm an inverted triangle!?.....
