Dear Angie and YLF Forum Members,

Hi Everyone! I’m a new member of the forum even though I’ve been reading the YLF blog for a few months now. Finding a new ‘You Look Fab’ email in my inbox is one of the highlights of my day. I’d like to learn to dress my shape properly to become more confident in my clothing choices but first I need to confirm my body type.

I’m 5’7 ¼” tall (can’t forget that quarter!) and fairly certain I’m a ‘pretty pear’. I’m not sure if I have a secondary body type, hopefully you can tell me! I have a slim upper body with a small bust (my bra size is 36 B), a relatively flat stomach and a small waist. I’m short waisted with a 12” front rise, a 32” inseam and I have heavy thighs, a flabby behind and saddle bags (which I’m continuingly trying to tone). I tend to wear a size XS or small on top, a size 2/4 in dresses and a size 4 in pants/ jeans (Boden size 10).

I’ve taken two pictures of myself in a bikini which I thought would be the best way to showcase my shape. Sorry that they’re a little fuzzy.

So am I ‘pretty pear’? Depending on the answer, can anyone recommend a pair of trouser type jeans?

Thanks so much!
