If I got my true size its kind of small in the band a 32yet an H cup. I just wear a 36DDD or 38DD which tends to work the same. No one really likes to sell H cups. Especially in a small band.</p> <p>My shoulders are wide like hers maybe more considering she works out And I dont. So I've heard. It's never been the problem when dressing as long as I'm not wearing extra small. And I haven't done that since I gained 10 lbs anyways. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-body-shape-is-abigail-ratchford-and-how-can-i-get-a-body-like-hers#post-1594007 Thu, 17 Dec 2015 02:56:07 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1594007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree, you're probably an inverted triangle or hourglass, depending on how broad your shoulders are. Even though it's one of those classically desired 'Playboy bunny' body types, it truly can be hard to dress a busty hourglass shape, especially with the current trend in loose, drapey and oversized casual wear. Fitted clothes aren't very easy to find right now, and what you can ends up looking very evening/clubwear or dated. If you're a news anchor and you can get your sheath dresses professionally tailored, you're all set though!</p> <p>I would think that boyfriend jeans would be challenging, unless they're intentionally oversized for effect and paired with a fitted top - I'd try a skinny jean or slim straight jean instead, particularly if you're wearing a looser top. And make sure that your bra is the right size and fits properly and keeps everything 'locked and loaded', like What Not to Wear used to say.</p> <p>Angie's got some figure guides in the blog archives which you've probably already found, and Imogen Lamport's are really helpful too: <a href="http://www.insideoutstyleblog.com/category/body/body-shapes-explained" rel="nofollow">http://www.insideoutstyleblog......-explained</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-body-shape-is-abigail-ratchford-and-how-can-i-get-a-body-like-hers#post-1593962 Wed, 16 Dec 2015 20:48:47 +0000 Deanna1015 1593962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm actually most similar to her least retouched photo. The one where her waist isn't the smallest but is very flat</p> <p>I try to emphasize waistline with whatever I wear as long as I'm not wearing dark pants my waist is actually balanced I think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-body-shape-is-abigail-ratchford-and-how-can-i-get-a-body-like-hers#post-1593959 Wed, 16 Dec 2015 20:28:11 +0000 CocoLion 1593959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome to the forum!</p> <p>The pictures of Abigail look retouched, with the exception of the third picture where her waist doesn't look as small. &nbsp;You might want to consider this, that not even she really has the body that is pictured. &nbsp;Especially the second photo which looks the most retouched.</p> <p>She does appear to have a fairly long torso. &nbsp;Do you have a long torso? It sounds like you are a classic hourglass with a large bust, wearing open necklines and emphasizing the waist are key to flattering this body type. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-body-shape-is-abigail-ratchford-and-how-can-i-get-a-body-like-hers#post-1593958 Wed, 16 Dec 2015 20:15:28 +0000 Deanna1015 1593958@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There are differences with her though and myself being that I'm short and she's tall. And shes skinnier than me by probably 10 lbs maybe less but other than that she's typically my shape. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-body-shape-is-abigail-ratchford-and-how-can-i-get-a-body-like-hers#post-1593954 Wed, 16 Dec 2015 20:03:07 +0000 Deanna1015 1593954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah I might be my shoulders are wide too to support my chest I hold my fat in my chest mainly just like her we have the same skeletal structures only problem is I have a lot more problems in my waistline. And like back. So like I have back fat problems that don't show in clothing but outside of it I have to stand up really straight and my waist isn't as toned. It's mainly I think a matter of not working out but I was curious how to dress? My waistline is defined normally too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-body-shape-is-abigail-ratchford-and-how-can-i-get-a-body-like-hers#post-1593817 Wed, 16 Dec 2015 10:49:59 +0000 Summer 1593817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome, Deanna! &nbsp;I can't really improve on Gigi's excellent reply. &nbsp;Post a picture if you like, and we'll try to help you to work out your body shape. &nbsp; &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-body-shape-is-abigail-ratchford-and-how-can-i-get-a-body-like-hers#post-1593795 Wed, 16 Dec 2015 07:57:27 +0000 Gigi 1593795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deanna, welcome to the forum!</p> <p>I would say that Abigail is an inverted triangle because of the pic that shows her shoulders to be wider than her hips. I would say that she has a secondary hourglass shape because of the difference in width between waist and hips.</p> <p>Body shapes are generally based on your skeletal structure and where you tend to deposit fat, so it is not usually feasible to try to imitate someone else's body shape--we're simply not in enough control of these fundamental traits. At You Look Fab, we try to find our own body shape and then learn how to flatter it. Do you think you might be an inverted triangle also?</p> <p>Measurements don't tell the whole story, because two people can have the exact same measurements but look very different because of how they appear from the front rather than from the side. Also, some people have a short torso with long legs, and others have a long torso and short legs.</p> <p>If you really want to know what your body shape is, you are welcome to take a picture of yourself in tight-fitting clothing (like a tank and leggings) and post it to the forum when you have achieved Active Member status. You can also post your pic to an external site and link to it if you do not want to wait until you are an Active Member. You can cut off your head so that the image is unidentifiable as yours. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-body-shape-is-abigail-ratchford-and-how-can-i-get-a-body-like-hers#post-1593783 Wed, 16 Dec 2015 06:10:45 +0000 Deanna1015 1593783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a similar shape to her kind of but I'm a lot straighter I guess you could say. my measurements are 40-27-36 measurements. Hers are listed as 41-26-37.. I have seen in some clothing she has some of the same issues it seems I have found myself facing. And she looks good in boyfriend jeans which is my go to style other than that like dresses I have no idea to flatter my figure. And loser clothing I feel just really fat. What works and what shape is this? Top heavy a nice Apple or what? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-body-shape-is-abigail-ratchford-and-how-can-i-get-a-body-like-hers#post-1593776 Wed, 16 Dec 2015 05:50:43 +0000 Deanna1015 1593776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm just curious I'm 120 lbs and kind of like feel frumpy in a sense I've thought maybe losing my weight again. I bumped into this beauty and since I've wanted to achieve similar. I'm not too far off considering measurements so more I was wondering what techniques working out and for now how to dress?</p> <p><a href="http://moejackson.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/abigail-ratchford-100214-21.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://moejackson.com/wp-conte.....214-21.jpg</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.gotceleb.com/abigail-ratchford-kandy-magazine-november-2014-2014-11-29.html/abigail-ratchford-kandy-magazine-2014-02" rel="nofollow">http://www.gotceleb.com/abigai.....ne-2014-02</a></p> <p><a href="http://m.news.iheart.com/articles/whats-hot-461580/photos-abigail-ratchfords-scorching-hot-midnight-13584769/" rel="nofollow">http://m.news.iheart.com/artic.....-13584769/</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.hawtcelebs.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/abigail-ratchford-marya-gullo-photoshoot_1.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.hawtcelebs.com/wp-c.....hoot_1.jpg</a> </p>
