I don't think they are terribly disproportionate... just still getting used to looking at them, I guess. Thanks for the info, Bran888. I remember reading about X and 8 a while ago, but that low/high hip makes it very clear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-my-body-type-15#post-445176 Sat, 15 Oct 2011 15:43:33 +0000 bran888 445176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Shu: An X shape comes from Imogen's body types...she classifies two types of hourglasses: X and 8. An X's lower hips are the largest part of the lower body while an 8's higher hips are the largest part. Most hourglass/pear combos are X's, I believe. I would say that JennyAnne is an X, too, because of the lower hip. I originally didn't see the pear because her legs are very slim (lucky!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-my-body-type-15#post-445171 Sat, 15 Oct 2011 15:01:38 +0000 Shu 445171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>JennyAnne, I know, I was so excited to finally learn that the hourglass is defined by shoulders on top and not bust! Krishnidoux, what's an X shape? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-my-body-type-15#post-442786 Wed, 12 Oct 2011 16:17:42 +0000 krishnidoux 442786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To me, you first looked pear with secondary inverted triangle... but I correct myself: I think you are an X shape. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-my-body-type-15#post-442783 Wed, 12 Oct 2011 16:13:58 +0000 JennyAnne 442783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Shu. I totally understand the bowling pin feeling. You know, I think I feel that way because although my shoulders are strong, I am pretty small-busted, and I think of a larger bust as being a requirement for hourglass. I see in other discussions that it's the shoulders tha really matter in determining the body shape. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-my-body-type-15#post-442671 Wed, 12 Oct 2011 14:34:14 +0000 Shu 442671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep, hourglass I'm an hourglass too, and I know what you mean about seeing the hips. I find that if I'm wearing an outfit that doesn't accentuate my shoulders as well as my hips I feel a bit like a bowling pin. My shape is more exaggerated than yours so that may be more exaggerated than you feel though, but I get the issue with your eyes going straight to the hips. Maybe we can both work on that?:) Your figure is lovely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-my-body-type-15#post-442576 Wed, 12 Oct 2011 10:54:26 +0000 JennyAnne 442576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much for all of the input. It's helpful to see the sillhouette in black and have fresh eyes. I truly am happy with my body, but it's easy to see hips sticking out in the mirror in skinny jeans, you know? I'm looking forward to taking a WIW pic today. Just having this forum is good motivation to put in a little effort in the morning. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-my-body-type-15#post-442554 Wed, 12 Oct 2011 09:48:15 +0000 ButterflyLady 442554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also agree with hourglass - you've got a lovely figure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-my-body-type-15#post-442522 Wed, 12 Oct 2011 08:10:13 +0000 Aunty 442522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have a fabulous figure!! I agree with hourglass. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-my-body-type-15#post-442455 Wed, 12 Oct 2011 04:32:27 +0000 Queen Mum 442455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with the others.. you look like an hourglass. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-my-body-type-15#post-442454 Wed, 12 Oct 2011 04:31:22 +0000 bran888 442454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Personally, I don't see any pear. You are definitely well proportioned, but I'm not sure if you would be considered a rectangle or hourglass, maybe in between? You can see which dressing guidelines suit you best, though either shape is easy to dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-my-body-type-15#post-442324 Wed, 12 Oct 2011 02:04:59 +0000 Anonymous 442324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ummm, I'd say you're a 'P' for Perfect! You look like an hourglass to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-my-body-type-15#post-442063 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 21:20:20 +0000 Irene 442063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hourglass </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-my-body-type-15#post-442043 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 20:49:58 +0000 CocoLion 442043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome!</p> <p>You look very well-proportioned. I would guess hourglass first with secondary pretty pear. That is also how I classify myself. This body type is also described as the hourglass X type (as opposed to hourglass 8) by Imogen.</p> <p><a href="http://www.insideoutstyleblog.com/2008/09/body-shapes-explained-x-shape-hourglass.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.insideoutstyleblog......glass.html</a></p> <p>She advises to stick with bootcut pants but I regularly wear skinny jeans. I also regularly wear tops of different lengths, not just short tops. However her advice for necklines is spot on for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-my-body-type-15#post-442039 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 20:44:06 +0000 Suz 442039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome to the forum! You have a fab figure! I'd call you an hourglass! Looking forward to seeing your style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-my-body-type-15#post-441999 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 19:52:06 +0000 JennyAnne 441999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here is my official black leggings and tee shot. I keep flip-flopping about what I am. I could use some unbiased eyes. My hips definitely stick out, so sometimes I think pear, but I have wide shoulders, too, so I think maybe inverted triangle. Then again, often I think my waist is undefined, (H) but here, you can definitely see it. Hourglass? </p> <p><a href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6113/6234984977_9486f70bba.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://farm7.static.flickr.com.....f70bba.jpg</a> </p>
