New and need help w body type and dressing it

twinmom

Hello, I'm new here so sorry if I'm doing something wrong here. I think I'm a rectangle, banana, box body type. I'm busty (42DD), overweight (215 & 5'6"), have no butt, smaller hips, short waist, and carry all my weight in my mid section. I hate not knowing what to wear to help me look better. I don't like clothes that cling or are tight on my body. I don't like showing off my chest, I pretty much have no butt and everything I've tried to help accentuate my waist makes me look pregnant!! HELP PLEASE!!! This disabled, single mom of twins with no self esteem would be eternally grateful!!! THANKS IN ADVANCE!!

Welcome! You’ve come to the right place! I do believe Angie always says to start with a professional bra fitting and eyeglasses (if you wear them). The foundations if you will. Are there any particular styles that interest you?

Welcome! I agree with Rachylou that you have come to the right place. Great undergarments are an important beginning. It is also important to own who you are: a strong woman who also happens to be a mama of twins! I also think it is important to wear clothes and colors that make you feel great. It’s ok if it takes a while to figure out which pieces make you happiest. You will find lots of support and suggestions here.

Hi Twinmom,

If you look in the Blog Archives, you can see Angie's posts on different body types. Most of us are between body types, but it sounds as though you may identify as an Apple and I bet you have fabulous legs.

Whilst it can be confronting posting pictures, the feedback that I have received and the support from the forum has made it well worth the effort.

For me, YLF is a wonderful forum and I look forward to catching up on the news on a daily basis. It is great to have you join us.
