Remember that guidelines are just that, and play around with different shapes and materials to see what is most flattering. Take lots of pictures and post here so we can all weigh in.</p> <p>On a side note, I have fallen really behind in reading posts and hadn't seen your WIW ones. The one you re-posted here - wow! You look fantastic. The haircut (I know it's recent) is so becoming on you. You are much farther ahead than I am in getting my style together, so kudos on all the work and thought you are putting into it. You are doing SUPER. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-do-with-my-square-hips#post-162772 Thu, 27 May 2010 14:21:53 +0000 Tara 162772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>On a slightly unrelated note, I was just looking at your pics from Photobucket and you have the most beautiful eyes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-do-with-my-square-hips#post-162708 Thu, 27 May 2010 12:41:14 +0000 Itari 162708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the feedback I think I can manage something. Good thing that I like skirts and dresses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-do-with-my-square-hips#post-162511 Thu, 27 May 2010 01:17:10 +0000 Angie 162511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You looked really good in that purple dress with the stirrup leggings. It was roomier on the hips. </p> <p>I vote pencils that do not taper in from the hip down, stitched down pleated A-lines and fit and flare dresses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-do-with-my-square-hips#post-162457 Wed, 26 May 2010 22:04:36 +0000 LuAnn 162457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree-a-line skirts and try tunic tops w/ a belt and empire waist dresses and shirts. Wearing a blazer that tapers towards the waist will create the hourglass shape and pants and jeans with straight legs. I think you would look great in trouser jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-do-with-my-square-hips#post-162441 Wed, 26 May 2010 21:43:58 +0000 rute 162441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My advice is, at first, try everything, guidelines are guidelines but everybody is different!</p> <p>Try A skirts, pencil skirts, post photos and hear what we have to say (I'm saying that because we sometimes are too hard with us and others see us in a different way!</p> <p>Have fun! Go to a store, try different things and take photos in the dressing room! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-do-with-my-square-hips#post-162440 Wed, 26 May 2010 21:42:32 +0000 Itari 162440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I guess I had to wait for Angie, then </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-do-with-my-square-hips#post-162436 Wed, 26 May 2010 21:30:15 +0000 Rosie 162436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So am I! Was just trying to think of something that created more differentiation... but it could totally backfire. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-do-with-my-square-hips#post-162430 Wed, 26 May 2010 21:24:51 +0000 Itari 162430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ummm... I thought that tulip skirts were a no-no for pears? I'm pretty much in the deep end of pearishness. On the other hand, my body is an example of the 8 shape on Imogen's blog and the skirt guidelines are much different from YLF ones... ah, I feel so confused. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-do-with-my-square-hips#post-162422 Wed, 26 May 2010 21:10:06 +0000 Rosie 162422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm... you know, this might sound crazy, but with your amazing waist, have you looked at tulip skirts? I'm trying to find a nice one to show you. I'm wondering if the intentional form might help with the narrow waist. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-do-with-my-square-hips#post-162418 Wed, 26 May 2010 21:05:52 +0000 chewyspaghetti 162418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fit and flare 50's style dresses. Did you see Angie's recent post on them? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-do-with-my-square-hips#post-162417 Wed, 26 May 2010 21:05:17 +0000 londonkiwi (now back in NZ) 162417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You could totally do a-line skirts that have some structure and are perhaps more gently a-line. As the skirt is meant to have some volume, so no-one is to know whether or not you you are more also have volume underneath...</p> <p>Until recently I was also dubious about the skinny jean and tunic look, but done right I think that it looks great. You could also try a skinny or straight legged black pant.</p> <p>Also - how about a sheath dress with a waterfall cardigan over the top? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-do-with-my-square-hips#post-162414 Wed, 26 May 2010 20:57:22 +0000 Itari 162414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rosie - yes, but I think it doesn't really work for me. I believe that A-line skirts make me look more bottom-heavy.</p> <p>crazyone - you won't see me in skinny jeans. Just don't like them. However, my Tuesday WIW was something similar to your idea: <a href="http://s867.photobucket.com/albums/ab233/fouloleitari/ylf/?action=view&#038;current=100_9738.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s867.photobucket.com/al.....0_9738.jpg</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-do-with-my-square-hips#post-162409 Wed, 26 May 2010 20:47:33 +0000 crazyone 162409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>wrap dresses and skinny jeans+tunic tops that hit you mid thigh. you can belt the tunics for more definition. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-do-with-my-square-hips#post-162407 Wed, 26 May 2010 20:45:38 +0000 Rosie 162407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you tried a-line skirts? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-do-with-my-square-hips#post-162405 Wed, 26 May 2010 20:40:32 +0000 Itari 162405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You probably know what I'm talking about...<br /> <a href="http://s867.photobucket.com/albums/ab233/fouloleitari/ylf/?action=view&#038;current=100_9858.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s867.photobucket.com/al.....0_9858.jpg</a></p> <p>It's a giant square. My body is exactly the same width from hipbones to thighs and I find it really annoying. However, I don't have a flat and square bottom - it's round and prominent.</p> <p>I have no idea what to do. Is there any way to soften those vertical lines and not to add any volume to my hips? I look even more pear-shaped in voluminous skirts and dresses. </p>
