I vote slight hourglass with a strong shoulderline </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yes-i-need-help-with-my-body-type-please#post-1693774 Thu, 14 Jul 2016 02:50:57 +0000 Gigi 1693774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am with Smittie: inverted triangle with secondary hourglass. The definition of an inverted triangle is that the shoulders are wider than the hips. Inverted triangles often don't have a defined waist, but that is not always the case. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yes-i-need-help-with-my-body-type-please#post-1693420 Wed, 13 Jul 2016 11:59:37 +0000 Liz 1693420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kris Ann, the body types are only huge generalizations. Many women do not fall clearly in one category or another. Since you're getting a variety of responses, you are likely a blend of body types. </p> <p>The main reason people want to know about body types is because they want to dress in a way that highlights or disguises some portion of their body or figure out what clothing silhouette might be most conventionally flattering on them. You look to have such a great frame for wearing clothes. It's hard for me to imagine that there is any silhouette you should stay away from or any body part you need to try to disguise. However, if you want to flatter your waist, you could look at the clothing guidelines for an hourglass and use those. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yes-i-need-help-with-my-body-type-please#post-1693417 Wed, 13 Jul 2016 11:51:11 +0000 Anonymous 1693417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look like an inverted triangle with hourglass tendencies. You do have a defined waist but to me the dominant characteristic is that your shoulders are wider than your hips. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yes-i-need-help-with-my-body-type-please#post-1693305 Wed, 13 Jul 2016 02:31:15 +0000 Kris Ann 1693305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am 5 feet, 5 1/2 inches, I weigh about 125 at the moment </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yes-i-need-help-with-my-body-type-please#post-1693276 Wed, 13 Jul 2016 01:54:33 +0000 Nishaa 1693276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG, you are me, minus the muscles and curly hair.. May be you can share your height?<br /> I was told I was an inverted triangle, hour glass and rectangle, even pear when pregnant.

We are thinking I should go with hourglass?&nbsp;</p> <p>This picture may be a little better??</p> <p>On another not they said I have an oblong face but I always thought it was square. LOL. I can see it though, high forhead had always bugged me.</p> <p>[IMG]<a rel="nofollow" href="http://i68.tinypic.com/sy721j.jpg[/IMG]">http://i68.tinypic.com/sy721j.jpg%5B/IMG%5D</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yes-i-need-help-with-my-body-type-please#post-1693179 Tue, 12 Jul 2016 23:04:38 +0000 Kris Ann 1693179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My waist and shoulders, my legs if they're covered </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yes-i-need-help-with-my-body-type-please#post-1693152 Tue, 12 Jul 2016 22:14:44 +0000 K. Period. 1693152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm similar to you in that I don't have a major waist, but I do have one. &nbsp;I almost feel like there should be a separate category for your body type--something like Dottie's slim hourglass or slight hourglass. &nbsp;</p> <p>The good news is that your body shape is extremely proportionate and you are in great shape, so you don't have any areas to camouflage. &nbsp;For me, since I don't have a super defined waist, I tend not to wear wear things that focus on the waist. &nbsp;I don't avoid it entirely--it just isn't my go to. &nbsp;Instead, I usually wear things that put the focus on my legs and slimmer hips. &nbsp;So, pencil skirts, shorter shorts, skinny jeans. &nbsp;</p> <p>If you were to pick out the part of your body that you feel the most comfortable highlighting, what would that be? &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yes-i-need-help-with-my-body-type-please#post-1693137 Tue, 12 Jul 2016 21:47:16 +0000 Dottie 1693137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I'd venture to say a slim hourglass.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yes-i-need-help-with-my-body-type-please#post-1693049 Tue, 12 Jul 2016 19:00:28 +0000 rachylou 1693049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree, the phone trick is brilliant!</p> <p>Re. Measuring - keep the tape measure flat from side to side in front - don't go around to the sides.</p> <p>You are definitely not an IT. The circumference measures imply shoulders wider than they appear relative to your hips. And you also have a waist. It doesn't come in as much visually as the circumference measures suggest, but you definitely have one. I vote for hourglass too. You don't have the elongation, I think, that would make rectangle styling work as good for you... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yes-i-need-help-with-my-body-type-please#post-1693040 Tue, 12 Jul 2016 18:47:15 +0000 Kris Ann 1693040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also could someone please tell me how to measure just the front? Is there a trick? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yes-i-need-help-with-my-body-type-please#post-1693024 Tue, 12 Jul 2016 18:30:43 +0000 Kris Ann 1693024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Lisa! The woman said I am so close to rectangle and women lose their waist as they age so might as well call it a rectangle now. I have a flat chest and butt so the idea of losing my waist made me cry!

I was stuck between an inverted triangle and an hourglass. Then they told me I am a triangle!</p> <p>My measurements are:</p> <p>shoulders: 38.25<br />bust: 34<br />waist 26.5<br />hips: 35.5</p> <p>I am not sure of the easiest way to post a picture.</p> <p>Thank you!<br />Kris </p>
