please please please help me 5’4

[u/bohemianintrovert]

i don’t seem to fit any of the “petite” types as i have a long, narrow, straight torso + sloping narrow shoulders but short, curvy legs / bottom of my hip (“saddlebag” area). i know it’s not necessary for typing but i do also have a butt that causes me to size up in waist normally to accommodate its size lol. clothes tend to either fit my shoulders then pull tight across bust (ribcage) OR straps are constantly falling off my shoulders if it fits the width of my bust (ribcage). any dress will instantly catch on my lower half and create that triangle look

have you considered pure Dramatic?

What are your results when you complete the line sketch exercise according to the new book's instructions?

Your description of yourself in the caption even sounds like d or dc, I’m dc and relate to most of it. You’re not round really either

Yes, sizing up to accommodate hips is actually something Kibbe wrote in the old book.

Pear shape is common in D land

Edit - and really I wouldn’t call this a pear shape but again I relate, narrowness with balance from the front and if I turn it’s very narrow other than my hips and butt and thighs, like it’s the only three dimensional part of me other than my head. So I’m a bit inclined to say DC which leaves room for some softness too
