The Ultimate Body Type Checklist Over 40

[@dirvin9848]

Once, I was convinced that because my hips and thighs are slim, slender and straight that I looked FANTASTIC in skinny pants and jeans. NO!Oh, how I was wrong! I realized after studying photos that they just accentuated a short torso, thick waist and strong upper body. Thank you, Nada, for teaching me so many valuable insights and how to look for these myself.

Love your positivity and emphasis on balance. I liked that you picked 3 distinctly different ladies for the proportional type! That was so helpful!

[@NadaManley]

Thank you so much Stephanie! I think it's so important to focus on shape and not size, which changes and often depends on the label of the brand that you are wearing.

My body has changed so since I've aged. Before 40, I had sloped narrower shoulders a defined waist and rounder hips and saddlebag thighs. After 45, I've lost the saddlebag thighs and gotten straighter in the hips and my waist is gone and I now have a belly fat midsection. So if we are talking fruits--i went from a pear to an apple. I still have the narrow shoulders. I'm glad I lost the saddle bag thighs, but sad that I lost the waist!!

I am 68 & have Barbie's exact measurements! Hour glass! Mt only complaint is I have narrow shoulders. I wish I could afford have my chest put back in place.

Nada, I have challenges clothing both my top half because of my boobs 38G but narrow shoulders and hips yet my waistline is large because I gain weight in my tummy & is short waisted. My waist is very close to my boobs. So belts don't flatter me unless on pants. I don't have much booty but have slim legs that are flattering to me. Usually if the pants fit my waistline than the pants are too voluminous around the hips & booty. Most tailored pants don't have elastic wristbands but they are my friend. Your videos have been helpful as the tips given regarding proportions have helped me to understand why things work or don't work for me thank you! Keep up the good work ❤

Thank you so much Lynn! I so appreciate the comment!

I think I am a mixture of body types, my shoulders are my broadest measurement, but I have a small chest. When I have extra weight, it goes to lower abs and hips. I never gain weight in my upper body. It doesn’t matter what my weight is, my shirt size never changes

[@dianelessard9859]

I am a mixture as well. Not only is my chest small, but my rib cage is inverted. Quite a challenge to find a decent bra.

Thanks for this resource! What is difference between yellow and blue body type? It looked the same on the pdf. Also, can you be a red and short-waisted?

[@NadaManley]

@@maryannwheeler7170 yellow is the same as a blue except that it is plus sized so above at 12 or 14 by definition. And yes, you can be a red with a short waist. That is me lol.

[@maryannwheeler7170]

@@NadaManley thank you! I’m the same, red, only 2 sizes larger and 1/2“ shorter.🤣

[@Itisfinished403]

At a glance it doesn't appear that you have my bodyshape listed based on what I described on previous post.

The picture of Angelina wearing the strapless gown is almost a picture of a corpse. Her anorexia is winning the battle at that time. I was really worried about her at about the time her and Brad split. She really looked unhealthy.

[@NadaManley]

That was sad to see for sure. She looked very very thin
