Now I just need to learn to dress this new body! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-am-i-4#post-286262 Wed, 26 Jan 2011 05:00:25 +0000 Deb 286262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome, Ashley!</p> <p>I echo Stephanie above - I wanted to post and say that I think you may be an hourglass ... but most of all, I want to extend kudos on losing so much weight! It took a heck of a lot of willpower and perseverance to achieve what you have. You look wonderful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-am-i-4#post-286260 Wed, 26 Jan 2011 04:57:30 +0000 CocoLion 286260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks like hourglass to me too.</p> <p>If you feel like you might have pear tendencies, then I would go with that as a secondary tendency.</p> <p>I am an hourglass. But unlike you, when pants fit in the hips, the waist is too tight. So my secondary tendency is apple. No one else sees this in me, but I'm pretty sure of this. </p> <p>I envy your nice long waist. Your legs don't look short to me. You are lucky to be tall. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-am-i-4#post-286247 Wed, 26 Jan 2011 04:38:11 +0000 Stephanie 286247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm no expert on body type--you look like an hourglass to me, but others will know better--but I wanted to congratulate you on your amazing weight loss! You look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-am-i-4#post-286237 Wed, 26 Jan 2011 04:20:06 +0000 Sveta 286237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi and welcome, Ashley!<br /> I think you are an hourglass. It does not look to me that you are long-waisted though...<br /> I have the same problem with pants and skirts being too loose in the waist when they fit the hips. For that the only solution is alteration! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-am-i-4#post-286231 Wed, 26 Jan 2011 04:11:34 +0000 ashley 286231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, I've taken some (hopefully) better photos. Please help!</p> <p><a href="http://s1235.photobucket.com/albums/ff430/ashleywd40/" rel="nofollow">http://s1235.photobucket.com/a.....shleywd40/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-am-i-4#post-285793 Tue, 25 Jan 2011 15:47:00 +0000 Angie 285793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome, Ashley! </p> <p>If you could take a picture where the camera angle is straight on and not from the ground, we'll get a more accurate perception of your silhouette. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-am-i-4#post-285742 Tue, 25 Jan 2011 13:53:29 +0000 anne 285742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HI Ashley. Welcome! You have a beautiful profile pic and a lovely curvy figure. I am not quite sure if it is pear or hourglass either - the front on shot you have looks like your hips are wider than your shoulders (eg a pear) but it might be affected by the angle at which you have taken it (from below). Anyway there are plenty of us who tend towards 2 or more shapes and the advice for pear and hourglass is pretty similar anyway. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-am-i-4#post-285741 Tue, 25 Jan 2011 13:42:57 +0000 ashley 285741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi there,</p> <p>I've been reading and lurking for awhile, but I can't decide what shape I am. I'm thinking either pear or hourglass.</p> <p><a href="http://s1235.photobucket.com/albums/ff430/ashleywd40/" rel="nofollow">http://s1235.photobucket.com/a.....shleywd40/</a></p> <p>I'm 5'8" and have a relatively long waist(I have trouble with one-piece swimsuits) and short legs. I recently lost about 70 pounds (30 to go), and I basically have no idea how to dress myself now. I currently wear a size 12 for pants, a medium for tops, and a 10 for most skirts and dresses. I have a large bust, and have trouble with button-down shirts because of it. I also tend to have trouble with both pants and skirts being too loose at my waist when they fit my hips. Any advice would be very much appreciated!</p> <p>Thanks so much in advance for all your help! </p>
