I do want to say welcome and you have a great figure, and your hips are totally normal and feminine. Since being here I've learnt that while everyone is unique we are all gorgeous x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-my-body-type-8#post-205494 Wed, 25 Aug 2010 02:12:38 +0000 Vix 205494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Lumina --</p> <p>Agree an arms-down photo would be best, but judging from the 2nd link (esp the back-of-bathing-suit view) you seem to be a Rectangle like me or a just-barely Inverted Triangle/Y.</p> <p>Designer and celebrity stylist Bradley Bayou notes that Demi Moore and Charlize Theron are Rectangles, and Cameron Diaz and Angelina Jolie are ITs -- so clearly you are in the company of women considered to be wild beauties with great bodies. For inspiration, you could take a look at how they dress and copy the looks that emphasize what you want to emphasize.</p> <p>I always wanted narrow hips so was taken aback to hear others call them masculine, ha. [I admit: it's not the lack of hips, it's the lack of an indented waist that gets to me!]</p> <p>I know Angie had lots of great dressing suggestions for Rectangles and ITs, so as mentioned do check out her body shape posts.</p> <p>Personally I am busty and short-legged so "boyish" looks don't work for me despite my hip/waist situation.</p> <p>Instead, I usually try to dress more like an Hourglass. That means I'm always on the lookout for tops/sweaters/dresses/jackets with rouching, diagonal pleating and/or peplums to help me fake a waist. </p> <p>Ditto for hip-banded tops, sweaters that one can tie at the hips, hip belts, front hip pockets, or back flap/detailed back pockets -- these create the illusion of rounder hips and a smaller waist. Oh, and thritto for tapered skirts or skirts that flare out from the knee down....</p> <p>Good luck! If you post pics of an outfit you don't like the YLFers will no doubt have a million ways for you to play up the curves you do have/add to the ones you want to boost. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-my-body-type-8#post-205325 Tue, 24 Aug 2010 15:18:25 +0000 shana 205325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, it's hard to tell without seeing your arms down by your sides. You might want to take a measurement around your shoulders too. Check out the tab for body type and you will find some examples from those you have previously requested help. You look very normal &amp; feminine, so no worries there! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-my-body-type-8#post-205307 Tue, 24 Aug 2010 13:57:40 +0000 biscuitsmom 205307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-my-body-type-8#post-205304 Tue, 24 Aug 2010 13:55:22 +0000 Polly (thunalata) 205304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Possibly a little tricky to do pics there... Hope the nude ones weren't taken there... lol </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-my-body-type-8#post-205295 Tue, 24 Aug 2010 13:41:16 +0000 lumina 205295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>thunalata: Thanks! I'll try to do that as I get home. Now I'm in a computer classroom at school... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-my-body-type-8#post-205293 Tue, 24 Aug 2010 13:25:45 +0000 Polly (thunalata) 205293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi lumina and welcome! - you look pretty normal to me! (and pretty, too).</p> <p>The best result for a body type identification is to have a photo in slim fitting clothes standing straight on with arms loosely at sides. </p> <p>Can you do that?</p> <p>ETA haven't seen people posting nude pics on here before. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-my-body-type-8#post-205292 Tue, 24 Aug 2010 13:22:01 +0000 lumina 205292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope to receive objective commentary on what my body shape is. Is it rectangular or hourglass or Y-shaped? My mom has been the only one who's ever commented my body shape. Once she said that my body is Y-shaped, then another time she said that I'm hourglass-shaped. I would really like to know the truth.</p> <p>Here are some pictures of my body.</p> <p>WARNING: they include nudity!</p> <p>I have censored the most sexual parts. If nudity is disallowed here, please delete these links and I'll take pictures with some clothes on. It's just that right now I don't have proper pics of my body with my clothes on!</p> <p><a href="http://leposyke.weebly.com/uploads/5/0/9/0/5090475/5188211.png" rel="nofollow">http://leposyke.weebly.com/upl.....188211.png</a><br /> ^^ more weight<br /> <a href="http://leposyke.weebly.com/uploads/5/0/9/0/5090475/133533.png" rel="nofollow">http://leposyke.weebly.com/upl.....133533.png</a><br /> ^^ less weight</p> <p>My measurements:<br /> Breasts: can't remember but it's less than the hips... perhaps something like 36 inches.<br /> Waist: about 74 cm = 29,1 inches<br /> Hips: about 100 cm = 39,4 inches<br /> Height: 173 cm = 5 feet 8 inches</p> <p>I have a protruding stomach. Fortunately, fat also gets into my buttocks and breasts. My legs, arms and back are pretty slim. I dislike my body shape. It's too boyish. I would want to have wider hips and narrowed shoulders. I've had a problem with my hips since my mom once told me that my hips are narrow. What I want to hear is that they're normal and feminine but please be truthful and objective. </p>
