Ok ladies, let's check out those bodies!

ahhh ladies. We seem to ALL have these types of problems....Personally, Im chesty and hippy which makes for so many problems. Buying pants is what bothers me the most, if i want a regular style to fit my waist, its TIGHT around my butt and uncomfortable. If i buy pants to fit my hips, unless they are low rise they are loose and drafty and sometimes even bunch around the waist. I can get around this by wearing low or ultra low rise pants, but sometimes you jsut cant get away with superlow pants....like at the office....grr

I only have that problem with straight skirts though!

I find I also have to go one size up (especially with jeans) because I have a smaller waist and larger hips. Plus narrower shoulders and larger bust. Although I'm about 20 pounds overweight, I prefer a few extra pounds to being too thin.

Despite the general "rules" dictated by the media... From all the men I've known over the years (not just love interests), it's RARE that I've met a man who truly prefers thin women to those with curves.

Now that's not fair! I'm "thin" but still have curves. There's more clarification that should be made there. Like, perhaps saying that they don't necessarily like skinny women who have no curves. Because being "thin" is not being underweight or skinny. I'm 5'8", 34B, have a small toned waist area and hips that you can actually notice, and a well-toned though bubbly butt! I might be on the smaller end as far as weight goes, but I know that I've still got curves that men like. I'm not annoyed or anything, I just get tired of "thin" girls being lumped in with a completely different group of girls who have no figure. Especially since I'm on the taller side.

It's frustrating.And who knows, maybe men here in Florida like different things than men in Canada?

I don't even buy blouses due to the infamous "gaping" problem.
But here is were you all are going to hate me. I really don't have a defined waistline- but um I really don't have "hips" either. So I don't haven't had a problems with stuff being too tight around the hips!!

vespacat · Apr 26, 2005

Katherine, I was not trying to slight you or anyone else, so I'm sorry if you felt that way.

I was simply stating a personal observation. It is something I've noticed over the years... in my experience. And experience is different for everyone.

Personally, I believe ALL women should be happy with their body structure, no matter what the media (or men) dictates as being acceptable. And we are ALL beautiful in our own unique ways.

I know you weren't, so don't worry. I certainly have no hard feelings towards you what-so-ever. I've just heard too many comments throughout my life I guess so I can be a little overly defensive about it.

I agree that everyone should be proud of who they are. I love my body and though I certainly have imperfections, I think I'm great just the way I am.

No worries my dear Jenn!

yosemite · Apr 26, 2005

I cannot buy suits. I am 5' 2" and wear size 10 top and size 6 bottom. I have the football shoulders and a 36 D bust and no hips!

There was one store that would sell jackets and matching pants/skirts separately so that I could actually get a suit but they went out of business.

I am however very lucky with mini-skirts - I have great legs (or so I've often been told) and at my age, if that's all I got left I'm-a-gonna-flaunt it!

laureen227 · Apr 26, 2005

ok, i have MULTIPLE issues! 1st off, i have an hourglass figure, but with too much sand! plus-size clothes that fit my seat or bust are ALWAYS too big in the waist, too long in the stride (pants) because they're assuming i also have a big waist! button-front shirts (which i never buy) gap even if they're big enough - the curse of bustiness!

i'm hoping after my surgery & i lose some of this, i will be more able to find clothes that fit

i forgot - i'm also only 5'2", so i have to hem EVERYTHING - skirts, dresses, pants... the petite lengths are too short, the average lengths are too long...

sweets · Apr 26, 2005

I"ve always said I inherited my mother's face, and my father's chest. SERIOUSLY! My mom and 2 sisters are all big busted...40+D's. I'm a 36(maybe)C. Go south from there and I have big hips and a booty. So straight skirts look horrible. I favor a-lines. My shirts have to be a little larger to accomodate the hips so my shirts always look like they're too large. And because of that, if I wear spaghetti straps or strapless, I look lost.

kittylover4ever · Apr 26, 2005

I'm the "other". I am short, have fat legs, tummy, big tush, big boobs, and short of wearing my potato sack, everything I have doesn't fit me quite right.

mferr84 · Apr 26, 2005

I am long waisted... but shorter legs, so jeans are a nightmare...

I have a long torso(sitting down in a chair, i look taller than my 6'1" husband.)

I have broad shoulders, and (used to have jumbo boobs)... now they are just large... t-shirts are almost the only thing that fits right....

by this description i probably sound like circus material... but i look quite normal i assure you

fwan · Apr 26, 2005

katherine want to trade bodies? then you can work out in mine

wellingtoncats · Apr 26, 2005

I have little short legs so finding pants that are the right length is hard!

lilysmom · Apr 26, 2005

My main problem is that I have no waist to speak of. My hips are only a couple of inches larger than my waist. That means that I have to buy a larger size than fits the rest of my body, and if I were to buy a dress, I invariably need to take it in on top. (I'm also not well endowed.)

So..... ummmmm... yeah.... who's posting the first pic to go along with their poll description. (just kidding!

I'm another tall, thin woman & have the same issues! I've never had a problem attracting men. Especially the dirty old leering pervs who hold doors open for me & tell me what a pretty girl I am...gross!
I've had problems with jeans all of my life because of my long, skinny legs, but in the past years have found ALOT of luck at Western wear stores.
It's not true about the clothes industry being catered to tall, thin women-they only model the clothes. I envy the girls who can walk into Wal-Mart & pay 15 bucks for a brand new pair of jeans!

with or without clothes??

tari · Apr 26, 2005

I'm another one in the busty and hippy category. If it fits around those areas, it doesn't fit in the shoulders or the waist. I have to have most of my dressy clothes altered. (Except, oddly, my wedding dress. Somehow that fit perfectly.) I've put on some weight, but even when I was really thin, I had the same problem. I can (Back in my dancing days everyone told me I was shaped more like a stripper than a ballerina!)

Sorry, Ryan...no pix.

Clothing is optional, but I'm not getting my hopes up.
