I have the X hourglass shape, which is different than the high-hip of the Figure 8. At any rate, I'm glad you sorted this out. Knowing your body type and how to dress it is very important. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-my-body-shape-2#post-1147188 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 04:48:32 +0000 Anonymous 1147188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome, Smiling. You may want to make a Pinterest board of the types of outfits that you like to help define your style </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-my-body-shape-2#post-1147181 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 04:37:14 +0000 Gigi 1147181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay! I am a figure 8 too, 5miling, and I'll be honest that I felt like a freak until I found Imogen's site. I just never saw anyone with a body shape like mine.&nbsp;There aren't many models who are figure 8 shaped--although I actually saw one in the Victoria's Secret catalog the other day! Figure 8's are moving up in the world. :^) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-my-body-shape-2#post-1146655 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 18:01:57 +0000 5miling 1146655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you everyone! I am now proud to say that I know my body shape and can try to learn how to dress it! I never in a million years would of thought myself as a hourglass, because my shoulders are so much wider than my hips. But when Gigi showed me that website about an 8 hourglass figure, it described my body type better than any other website. Now I can follow guidelines to get a wardrobe to best dress my body. Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-my-body-shape-2#post-1145651 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 18:03:44 +0000 ironkurtin 1145651@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hourglass.&nbsp; You're gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-my-body-shape-2#post-1145644 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 17:53:17 +0000 Angela 1145644@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I was going to say an inverted triangle (like I am) but I'm not sure after reading all the other comments I have a very strong shoulders with smaller hips and waist. I was a bit of a boyish shape when I was a teenager but my waist is slightly more defined nowadays; I'm 36-31-41.<br /> I wish you lots of luck on your style journey! I wish I had stumbled upon a resource like this as a teenager, it could have really changed my outlook on a few things ;)<br /> Keep 5miling! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-my-body-shape-2#post-1145550 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 16:30:37 +0000 El Cee 1145550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see a very lovely hourglass -- perhaps with a slightly high hip. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-my-body-shape-2#post-1145214 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 07:32:08 +0000 Gigi 1145214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote hourglass also.</p> <p>It's hard to tell from the pic, because the tank is a little bunched up, but you may be a variation on hourglass that is called a figure 8. Figure 8s have a high hip that protrudes a bit, like a shelf.

It has been a revelation to me; they fit much better on me than low-rise! So it's worth a shot :)</p> <p>And also try the "curvy" fit some stores offer. I stayed far away from them before, thinking it wasn't my fit, and boy was I wrong! It works perfectly for a round butt and an hourglass figure (at least it did for me). It reduces the&nbsp;gaping at the back, so less chance of showing your butt crack to the world when you sit down (that's a big plus). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-my-body-shape-2#post-1144805 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 22:47:39 +0000 Sal 1144805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am brand new too and I would go hourglass as well.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-my-body-shape-2#post-1144800 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 22:44:54 +0000 Caro in Oz 1144800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi &amp; welcome.&nbsp;You have a great body with a strong shoulder line so I'm guessing you could wear almost anything In my experience nothing beats trying on lots of clothes to find out what you like &amp; what feels &amp; looks good.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-my-body-shape-2#post-1144795 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 22:39:18 +0000 April 1144795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome, 5miling!</p> <p>I'm voting hourglass. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-my-body-shape-2#post-1144790 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 22:32:17 +0000 5miling 1144790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>&nbsp;So I'm having trouble figuring out my body shape. I'm still going through puberty but im near the end. So I'm clearing out my whole closet and buying a new wardrobe with all of my birthday and Christmas money. I need to know which body shape guidelines to follow so I can look my best.&nbsp;I have shoulders wider than hips, a bust and bum that are around the same size, and a denfined waist. I am short waisted and my bum is round not flat. I'm a little bit taller than 5'3 and my measurements are 38-27-36. If you guys could help me it would be such a big favor! Here are some pictures (though the tank is kinda rolled up so my waist isn't as defined as it normally is)&nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj211/5miling/picture018_zpsc96ed4b2.jpg">http://i273.photobucket.com/al.....6ed4b2.jpg</a></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj211/5miling/picture020_zpsf45e3e5a.jpg">http://i273.photobucket.com/al.....5e3e5a.jpg</a></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj211/5miling/picture019_zps29974ccc.jpg">http://i273.photobucket.com/al.....974ccc.jpg</a></p> <p>Thankyou!</p> </p>
