Your figure has lovely, elegant lines - it should be a joy to dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-my-primary-and-secondary-body-type#post-369255 Sat, 18 Jun 2011 20:19:34 +0000 Suz 369255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I would say hourglass would be primary, with some info from the pear guidelines being useful as well. You have very nice curves! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-my-primary-and-secondary-body-type#post-369134 Sat, 18 Jun 2011 16:44:18 +0000 Kristine 369134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm certainly no expert either but I'd guess hourglass with pear tendencies. You have nice curves and they're fairly well balanced. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-my-primary-and-secondary-body-type#post-369133 Sat, 18 Jun 2011 16:43:22 +0000 Queen Mum 369133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would agree with rosee.. your shoulder and hip widths appear balanced. You do seem to also have a high waist.. thus the 8 shape you referred to.<br /> I'd say you probably want to go with the hourglass guidelines. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-my-primary-and-secondary-body-type#post-369110 Sat, 18 Jun 2011 15:50:28 +0000 Briar 369110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@rosee--my hips are 4 inches wider than bust </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-my-primary-and-secondary-body-type#post-369106 Sat, 18 Jun 2011 15:42:59 +0000 Patty 369106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry Briar--I'm not a shape expert but I can say you have a beautiful Bishon as your avatar! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-my-primary-and-secondary-body-type#post-369104 Sat, 18 Jun 2011 15:42:08 +0000 rosee 369104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would say hourglass primary with pear as secondary. The bust to hip ratio looks more pear, but your shoulders are nice and balanced with your hips. I'm no expert but I recognize what I see (I'm similar but with less balanced shoulders). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-my-primary-and-secondary-body-type#post-369096 Sat, 18 Jun 2011 15:36:05 +0000 Briar 369096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Following up on a body shape discussion from this post <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suit-salvage-2" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....-salvage-2</a>, attached are some pics to obtain your input on my body shape.</p> <p>I always thought I was a pear because I carry my weight in hips and thighs, however, I was told my primary shape is hourglass by one "expert", and yet another said I was an inverted triangle because my shoulders are wider than my hip. </p> <p>From the front view, my hips are narrower than my shoulders and my full thigh is as wide as my shoulders. Using a soft tape measure, my shoulder, full hip and widest part of thighs are actually all the same measurement. The fullness of my booty causes the hip and thigh to be the same measurement.</p> <p>@suz-I am familiar with Imogen's body typing and actually found YLF through her wonderful site. I typed myself as a high hipped 8 based on her descriptions.</p> <p>@janet-your description sounds like what I think I am, hourglass with pear tendencies.</p> <p>Angie and YLF--what do you see? </p>
