Instead, I dress FOR my best features (as much as possible) and to disguise/minimise my worst features. </p> <p>In your case, you have lovely arms and legs, well shaped, strong shoulders, and your only "problem" area is a little bit of tummy (which is pretty normal!!). Flaunt your arms and legs, and don't have things clinging too tight to your tum, and I think you'll be sure to look fab!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-my-body-type-18#post-880024 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 11:46:35 +0000 Suz 880024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you are a runner with great legs! </p> <p>Hey, that's like Janet, too....</p> <p>More seriously, you're tough to type, as the variety of answers here suggest. But I would say...primary body type somewhere between racy rectangle and hourglass, with a secondary apple tendency. So...you might find reading ALL those guidelines helpful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-my-body-type-18#post-880020 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 11:39:42 +0000 anne 880020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And I would be going with rectangle ( lots of different responses here!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-my-body-type-18#post-879761 Sat, 16 Mar 2013 23:22:02 +0000 Janet 879761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your measurements are not far from mine -- my waist is a little smaller, and my back narrower, but my bust bigger. But our shoulder and hip measurements are the same and I'm about a half inch shorter than you. I also have the same issue with inseam lengths! </p> <p>I would say you seem pretty hourglassy to me, verging on rectangle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-my-body-type-18#post-879749 Sat, 16 Mar 2013 23:12:21 +0000 rachylou 879749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you are a short-waisted hourglass/rectangle... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-my-body-type-18#post-879736 Sat, 16 Mar 2013 22:40:19 +0000 Mona 879736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Runcarla, I think you are a rectangle with pear/hourglass tendencies. Such nice shape to pull a lot of styles off easily. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-my-body-type-18#post-879735 Sat, 16 Mar 2013 22:39:58 +0000 annagybe 879735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not very good at this but you are similar to me, except I have a bigger chest.<br /> Primary hourglass, secondary apple. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-my-body-type-18#post-879734 Sat, 16 Mar 2013 22:36:50 +0000 Carla 879734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thought I was an apple/ rectangle, but now I'm starting to rethink my body type. Rectangle/ hourglass? I 've been at this weight and these measurements for 25+ years, so likely won't change much.</p> <p> 5 ft 7.5 in.<br /> 148-152 lbs</p> <p>Around shoulders 40 in.<br /> Around bust 37 in (32 D)<br /> Waist 31<br /> Fullest part of hips 39</p> <p>My narrowest part is under my bust to the bottom of my rib cage ( 30 in.)<br /> I usually wear a size US 8 or 10 or a medium<br /> My main fit problems are shoulders/ sleeve length (33 in), and inseam ( 34 in) usually not long enough. Getting tall sizes helps, but I'm on the short end of tall!</p> <p>Can you help ID my body type? </p>
