Online calculators make me out to be a pear, but my shoulders are much broader than any pear, enough so that I'm an invert triangle, though small-busted. Shoulders make a difference! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-body-type-am-i-10#post-1729045 Mon, 19 Sep 2016 03:41:03 +0000 Gigi 1729045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your shape sounds similar to mine, and I consider myself to be a slim hourglass, with a bit of rectangle on top. I also sometimes call myself "curvy on bottom," since it is the bottom half that is curvier. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-body-type-am-i-10#post-1729039 Mon, 19 Sep 2016 03:26:29 +0000 rachylou 1729039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey, we're really quite alike. I'm also 32C, but an inch shorter and 15lbs more (at 115, I go to the hospital because I'm type 1 diabetic and medium frame). You sound very fine-boned. Could probably do some great 'pixie' looks </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-body-type-am-i-10#post-1728836 Sun, 18 Sep 2016 17:13:57 +0000 chewyspaghetti 1728836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You sound like a similar shape to Angie so you can take inspiration from the outfits that work for her. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-body-type-am-i-10#post-1728827 Sun, 18 Sep 2016 16:36:56 +0000 hazard 1728827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you rachylou<br /> I measured like you suggested ,,, a little tricky don't know how accurate but it looked like shoulders 17, bust 13, waist 11.5, hips widest at low point and 16.5.,, approximately..... So I'm taking a wild guess that I'm a rectangle/ hourglass,,,, or a less curvy version of hourglass and a more curvy version of a rectangle an ectomorphic hour glass :)<br /> also to note I do not have a small bust in spite of my narrow bust line I'm a 34b to a 32c ... Which I see as average and in proportion to my body ,,,<br /> In reading the ward tobe suggestions I think the ones for hourglass work i.e. Higher waisted jeans, button downs that are fitted at the waist ,,, but I can also pull off blouses with ruffles or details because I'm not as voluptuous as a more curvy hourglass<br /> Thank you all !!! I love this !!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-body-type-am-i-10#post-1728798 Sun, 18 Sep 2016 14:59:59 +0000 rachylou 1728798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Width from side to side, only in front. So, like instead of wrapping a tape measure all around your waist, you'd just hold it up in front of you pulled straight... But you do sound like a slim hourglass/rectangle. My measurements are similar, tho I note my torso is short and my legs relatively long...which is another aspect besides shape that affects how clothes look...if I'm not careful and emphasize my waist, it can look like my legs start at my neck (!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-body-type-am-i-10#post-1728776 Sun, 18 Sep 2016 13:37:14 +0000 hazard 1728776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Liz<br /> I haven't figured out how to post a pic but I took your advice.<br /> When I consider my silhouette from my shoulders down I'm an hour glass ,,, I just never looked at myself that way,,, because I often thought of an hour glass bust and hips being the same size ,, but when I visually draw lines from my shoulders I can see the hour glass shape although less curvy on top as bottom ,,,, my shoulders are the same width as my hips at low point,,, and my waist is defined ...thank you!!! You and surefit have been so helpful!!!<br /> One thing I would like to share about jeans.... Like the advice on avoiding muffin top I have found low rise jeans don't work ,, I get muffin top and when I sit plumbers butt!!!! With my underwear showing ,,, higher waisted jeans are great! Jones of New York makes a fabulous Jean with built in tummy panel as a bonus!!! They work great for slimming and accentuating a small waist and avoiding muffin top </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-body-type-am-i-10#post-1728774 Sun, 18 Sep 2016 13:15:19 +0000 Liz 1728774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The best way to determine body shape is visually (not by numbers and measurements). Look at your silhouette face on, in front of a mirror, with your arms at your sides. You can post pictures of you like this (face on, full length, arms at your sides) and we can help you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-body-type-am-i-10#post-1728773 Sun, 18 Sep 2016 13:07:48 +0000 hazard 1728773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>thank you stays fit!!<br /> my waist is markedly smaller than my hips .,, it slopes down no shelf (never considered my shoulders until this forum and although narrow ,,, they match my hips! I had never measured! ) ...also I have a narrow rib cage ... Bust 34.5 and under bust 30! If that's a factor. I really would like to figure this out!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-body-type-am-i-10#post-1728760 Sun, 18 Sep 2016 12:46:49 +0000 Staysfit 1728760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It sounds like you could be rectangle or hourglass. If your hips and shoulders are the same then is your waist noticeably smaller? I think there is a guide of waist ten inches smaller than hips, which yours isn't, so probably rectangular with slight hourglass tendency. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-body-type-am-i-10#post-1728759 Sun, 18 Sep 2016 12:40:40 +0000 hazard 1728759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My shoulders are 37 same as my hips<br /> Not sure what you mean by front width never heard of that measurement,,,,, </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-body-type-am-i-10#post-1728726 Sun, 18 Sep 2016 06:02:36 +0000 rachylou 1728726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shape goes more by front width than circumference...
