I used to wish i was less curvy on the bottom half too, but dont mind now.<br /> Angie has on the advice section how to dress different body types, and id also suggest inside out style blog. There she differentiates between figure 8 style hour glass (short waist high hip) and x (longer waist lower hip). Im an 8 shape which seems the trickier one. Dresses are good, bottoms must have stretch, and stiff a line skirts just make me look big all over. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topics-for-your-body-type#post-1958193 Thu, 20 Sep 2018 09:50:15 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1958193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You don’t have to wear skirts! You might want to look carefully at how Janet (in the forum) dresses. I think she is beautiful, but she says that she has big thighs and it isn’t easy to find the right things that fit. </p> <p>I’m sorry to hear you are having such a hard time! I was never quite your measurements, but I was 36-26-36, just one inch bigger than you around the waist, for years and never had a hard time finding things that fit. I’ve noticed on sizing charts that clothing makers seem to be stepping away from that hourglass shape, towards a bigger tummy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topics-for-your-body-type#post-1958190 Thu, 20 Sep 2018 09:34:29 +0000 Anonymous 1958190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another option is to buy jeans that fit your hips and have the waist altered. &nbsp;I understand that quite a few bodybuilders have their clothes altered to fit their uniquely beautiful bodies. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topics-for-your-body-type#post-1958185 Thu, 20 Sep 2018 09:16:55 +0000 Staysfit 1958185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marryykatt, I hate to say this, but I think we need a picture. We can tell nothing from your measurements. They are completely normal. There is nothing disproportionate about them whatsoever. Change the lenses in your glasses. You should be able to find plenty that fits. If you have muscular thighs, and cannot find jeans, wear skirts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topics-for-your-body-type#post-1958174 Thu, 20 Sep 2018 07:04:36 +0000 Marryykatt 1958174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really need help. I am 5’7. I have a 34B breast size, a 25 in waist size, and a 36 1/2 in hip measurement. I have such a hard time finding clothes I’m confortable in and that actually fit. I am very conservative and can not bring myself to wear crops tops and things such as that. I’m not against them by any means. I just don’t feel comfortable and it seems everyone my age wears these things. I’m 22 and I just need help with what to wear and where to begin feeling comfortable with the way I am made. I am very “bottom heavy” as it would be and I have tried every diet you can think of to help with this. I used to compete in body building competitions, I’ve had multiple trainers, and I’ve gained muscle and lost fat. I haven’t lifted heavy in a year and have become slightly smaller and I still continue strength training for health reasons but sadly nothing has really helped slim my bum or hips the way I would like. surely I’m not the only one with such a wide range in measurements. Just needing advice on what to wear or how to dress for my snap. But really any advice at all would be much appreciated </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topics-for-your-body-type#post-1941790 Thu, 26 Jul 2018 21:51:58 +0000 Space Piranha 1941790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Apparently I'm a banana, but I sure don't feel "athletic!"

I also am slender and thin. I can wear anything. I just wish a had filled out more in the bust-line area. Oh, well. Anyway, for your comment about where to shop for clothing for good prices. This really depends entirely on your actually budget. Also, how much time do you have or are willing to use for shopping/searching for clothes. So, if you are very limited on both, shop for clearance items and they are all over the malls and all stores. If, you have time and not much cash. Check out the tag sells/yard sales in the ritzy areas of larger cities. Also, if you have time try the Goodwill or Salvation Army stores. You really need time to search for items but, you will be surprised at the low, low, prices. But, you really have to go thru each item and like I said this takes time but usually worth it. The better Used item stores are usually best at larger cities, also.<br /> Well, hope that helps. Oh, Kohl's is a great place for sale and clearance items, sometimes better than any tag sale or anywhere else for the quality and price.</p> <p>Sincerely,<br /> Trisha<br /> ***I have clothed 6 children over the yrs by doing what I mentioned above and they were kept "in style" all the while. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topics-for-your-body-type#post-76802 Sun, 05 Jul 2009 15:40:14 +0000 Trisha 76802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, for the past 6 yrs, I have been an amputee. I really do not care for that label but it is true. So, my body-type is somewhat less without a 1/4 of my left limb gone now.<br /> I try not to advertise my situation(disability) during outings, school, or to the public. Meaning, I wear clothes that do not show my prosthetic. Well, at least I try. Which is why I joined this site.<br /> Hope to make some changes in the fashion industry with several attire for women. So, not will these ideas enhance certain apparel for limb amputees but for ALL girls and all women.<br /> SO, if anyone out there in cyber-space knows how to assist or knows someone that would help assist me, please, please let's get going and further this business adventure. Or at least, to make a change for the good of all women. Whether it gains anyone financially or not. I do not know forsure but it is way past the time for a change. So, send your thoughts, comments, advice, or assistance. <a href="mailto:p_irelan@yahoo.com">p_irelan@yahoo.com</a> My sincere thanks.

How exciting for you and also probably makes you a little pensive dressing a new body.
