Your shoulders are broader than your hip width. Hope that makes sense! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-my-body-type-6#post-128211 Wed, 24 Feb 2010 21:35:15 +0000 Samantha 128211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I totally relate to you Kate. I do feel like I'm a border between an hourglass and an inverted triangle. The measurement of my top is the biggest part of my bust line and the measurement on my bottom are my hips. However, my shoulders are larger than my hips. </p> <p>I try to stay away from bulky shoulders myself. They make my shoulders look to muscular and square. Strapless tops and dresses are my fav to wear and I love me a pair of skinnys! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-my-body-type-6#post-128209 Wed, 24 Feb 2010 21:30:10 +0000 Kate 128209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>also check out this one on dresses: <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2007/06/04/dresses-for-inverted-triangles/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2007/06/.....triangles/</a></p> <p>For your body shape, it's less about the measurements and more about where you carry your weight. When you say your top is smaller than your bottom by 3 inches, what exactly are you measuring? What makes you look like an inverted triangle is that your shoulders are wider than your hips. </p> <p>I'm about the same size as you (5'3", 115 lbs, size 4 or 27 on the bottom, size small shirts) and have a body shape that is on the border between an hourglass and an inverted triangle. If I wear a bulky sweater on top and skinny jeans on the bottom I definitely look like an inverted triangle. I also hate flutter sleeves or sleeves with any poof to them because they make my shoulders look much broader than the rest of me. I also stay away from cap sleeves. Instead I either show my shoulders, or have a more fitted short sleeve. My main goal is not adding bulk to my shoulders. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-my-body-type-6#post-128183 Wed, 24 Feb 2010 19:32:11 +0000 Louise 128183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>here's Angie's blog on inverted triangles x<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2006/05/22/the-statuesque-inverted-triangle/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2006/05/.....-triangle/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-my-body-type-6#post-128177 Wed, 24 Feb 2010 19:26:15 +0000 Samantha 128177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks! Interesting... My tops are usually small in size, and I wear either a 26 or 4 in pants. My top is smaller than my bottom by 3 inches. What is an inverted triangle? </p> <p>If I am an inverted triangle which articles of clothing suit me best? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-my-body-type-6#post-128012 Wed, 24 Feb 2010 02:54:39 +0000 Angie 128012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for reposting pics, Samantha. You have a much stronger shoulder line than I do which is why you rock strapless dresses! I see quite a strong inverted triangle. Do you wear a bigger size on top than on the bottom. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-my-body-type-6#post-128007 Wed, 24 Feb 2010 02:34:57 +0000 Kate 128007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>hmmm, I think I might see some inverted triangle tendencies in there too, but maybe I'm just biased because I'm about the same size and age and have my own inverted triangle inclinations... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-my-body-type-6#post-127997 Wed, 24 Feb 2010 01:35:25 +0000 chewyspaghetti 127997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for posting those Samantha.<br /> You look like a rectangle/hourglass to me (a little curvier than a rectangle, but a little straight for an hourglass). It's the same body type that Angie has, so you will be in good company </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-my-body-type-6#post-127995 Wed, 24 Feb 2010 01:07:48 +0000 Samantha 127995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry I took forever to post these... below are links of my front, side and back view.

Yeah... better photos will probably make it easier, huh? I'll take proper photos and post them as soon as I can! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-my-body-type-6#post-126869 Fri, 19 Feb 2010 20:14:42 +0000 Angie 126869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another welcome from me and you are so pretty! But as Khris suggested, we'll need another type of picture to determine your body type. Think you can post one? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-my-body-type-6#post-126852 Fri, 19 Feb 2010 17:43:30 +0000 chewyspaghetti 126852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome to the forum Samantha!<br /> If you can post a full body shot straight on with your hands at your sides and wearing fitted clothing, it is very helpful in determining body type.<br /> From those shots, I really can't tell. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-my-body-type-6#post-126849 Fri, 19 Feb 2010 17:35:37 +0000 Samantha 126849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I could never figure out what my body type is? I have an idea of what kind of silhouettes look nice on me, but I'm not too sure what is appropriate for my body type. I'm 23 years old, 5'2" and currently weighing at 115lbs. I have long legs for my height and a short torso. This can give me the illusion of height. The biggest part of my bust line is approximately 34", my waist is 26" and my hips are 37". Does this make me an hours glass or petite figure? </p> <p>Here are a few links of my figure:<br /> <a href="http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r33/du-jour/DSC00350-1.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i140.photobucket.com/al.....0350-1.jpg</a><br /> <a href="http://s140.photobucket.com/albums/r33/du-jour/?action=view&#038;current=beauty1.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s140.photobucket.com/al.....eauty1.jpg</a><br /> <a href="http://s140.photobucket.com/albums/r33/du-jour/?action=view&#038;current=red-03.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s140.photobucket.com/al.....red-03.jpg</a><br /> <a href="http://s140.photobucket.com/albums/r33/du-jour/?action=view&#038;current=me.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s140.photobucket.com/al.....ent=me.jpg</a></p> <p>Let me know what you think? </p>
