I think I. am. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-body-type-am-i-9#post-1159668 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 20:29:00 +0000 April 1159668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for posting that extra photo! &nbsp;I'm sticking with hourglass. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-body-type-am-i-9#post-1159663 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 20:24:36 +0000 Gigi 1159663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome, Mara! I think April was right that having a pic with the arms straight down is best. I was going to say inverted triangle from your original pic, but with the straight arms, I have to say that I think hourglass is better.</p> <p>Imogen Lamport calls this an "X" shape:<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.insideoutstyleblog.com/2010/05/real-life-body-shapes-x.html">http://www.insideoutstyleblog......pes-x.html</a></p> <p>She has hints for dressing this shape. Her blog is full of helpful information.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-body-type-am-i-9#post-1159657 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 20:12:22 +0000 patsymaloo 1159657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I'm new at all this too (so perhaps better wait til someone with a more refined eye than mine turns up) but, although your shoulders look very slightly wider than your hips,&nbsp;I'm sure I spot at least a&nbsp;curve or two in there and a definite waist!&nbsp; [Waits with you to see what others say......] </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-body-type-am-i-9#post-1159653 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 20:10:12 +0000 mara09 1159653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>here's another picture with my arms straight down: </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-body-type-am-i-9#post-1159650 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 20:07:08 +0000 April 1159650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>m09, it would be easier to tell with your arms straight down in the front view. &nbsp;From the back view, it looks like your hips and shoulders are proportional to each other and your waist is smaller, which would suggest hourglass. &nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-body-type-am-i-9#post-1159635 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 19:59:13 +0000 mara09 1159635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello angie and everyone.
