Newbie looking for help with determining body type

TallWoman

I have been lurking for months and love this site. I'm ready to jump in and start asking for advice. I'm a little over 5' 11'' and my photos are not attached. Hmm... let me try that again.

Hi TallWoman- there is a waiting period before you can post pics, but you can upload them to a free photo hosting site like Snapfish or Photobucket and post a link to them here.

It might just be camera angle, but you look like a taller version of Alaska Girl to me- Inverted Rectangle with a little apple thrown in for good measure. Do you find your shoulders are the most difficult part of your body to fit?

I find it impossible to find button up shirts/blouses that will work for me. If they fit my shoulders they hang awkwardly on the rest of me. I do best in stretchy tops under tailored jackets.

Yep, I had the same thought as chewy...inverted triangle or, maybe a bit of a rectangle with IT tendencies, something like that. Your torso is long but straight, so sort of like a stretched out IT or a rectangle with broad shoulders. (-:

Welcome! Glad you can join us and I look forward to hearing more from/about you, tallwoman!

Khris, too funny! You have a good eye.

Tallwoman, I was just going to post that you look like the tall version of me - broad shoulders, narrow hips, rectangle-y through the middle. From the side you are more rounded than me, though - I've got a flat derriere.

Welcome, tallwoman!

You are a statuesque inverted triangle with rectangular tendencies.
