Similarly stuck on things like the shoulders and the back. How do you know if you have a narrow or wide back, or big shoulders?Jenny Wrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09330929532686952884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553172421381359137.post-61527244145523069952011-10-13T00:37:40.872+02:002011-10-13T00:37:40.872+02:00What about tracing out a photo to use for figure a...What about tracing out a photo to use for figure analysis & as a croquis for designs? That way people can preserve their modesty!

I love strong shoulders and things nipped in just slightly above the waistline. Like you, my small bust and narrow ribcage go out to a big difference in lower hip. Oh, I sent you an email--thanks!--I forgot this was Blogger/Google which doesn't have a contact page...Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00404449004824638306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553172421381359137.post-77589927309235424302011-10-12T18:19:23.988+02:002011-10-12T18:19:23.988+02:00Absolutely agree with Barbara.

Sewing has helped a LOT with understanding my body shape vs. the "average" and why certain looks do and don't work for me---but this is taking it to the next level.<br /><br />I'll have to think about whether I'm prepared to post analysis pics (if I even have any leotard-type clothes to work with in the first place...)Tanit-Isishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15824217102632813598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553172421381359137.post-91051436766906972482011-10-12T09:08:46.694+02:002011-10-12T09:08:46.694+02:00Great post!
