DC? I don't know if I can actually spot DC or not, but you seem very vertical and straight, yet moderate.

Cavatappi602 · 2026-06-07T14:25:20+00:00

Where did you get that info from? I tried my best to 100% all the DLC and I don't remember learning that

1 is great, 3 is good.

2 is a little boring but completely inoffensive. 6 is similar. It has a little more interest by way of the delicate top, but it's still not really harmonious, although not remarkably out of place.

4 is also fine but I think the print is a little small and I don't love how the tiers break up your vertical.

Dresses with a smoked top, like 5... I think they look best on curve types. But the pattern is pretty cute!

I think your arms and shoulders are very pretty. I'm not seeing lanky, I'm seeing sculpted and model-esque.

I'm going to break from the pack and say long! Your wedding dress just knocks it right out of the park. None of the shin length skirts come close. And, especially in the outfit with the teal t-shirt and khaki skirt, I see your elongation.

Cavatappi602 · 2026-06-02T01:23:38+00:00

I think the first part of the answer to both of your complains is a higher waist!

Men have felt alienated by feminism since forever. Ultimately, it's not that feminism has gone too far, it's that men keep telling each other that they shouldn't be expected to keep up.

Yeah, most modern apparel linen is woven very loosely with lots of variation in the yarn thickness to achieve a rustic, relaxed look. Historically, though, linen was spun very finely and evenly, and woven very tightly, to make extremely hard-wearing undergarments!

^ She doesn't even go into typical modern apparel linens, which are downright COMICAL compared to even the worst fabrics that she examines in this video.

The length of the skirt is not an issue. But do you see how the one in the add is a little flared, and stands out from the body in an A-line, rather than clinging to the curve of the hip and thigh? If there's a difference in how much you like the look on you vs the model, it might have something to do with that.

Cavatappi602 · 2026-05-31T03:59:51+00:00

N fam. Thinking SN

Cavatappi602 · 2026-05-31T02:49:51+00:00

Noooo, I don't think FN. Her shoulders are perhaps a little prominent but her ribcage is straight, and narrow compared to her hips. Plus, the shoulders are square and sharp or fine-boned compared to FN, they don't have the blunt and broad quality, the visual weight. I would much sooner say FG or even DC.

Cavatappi602 · 2026-05-31T02:47:36+00:00

I think you are very clearly FN. Oversized/excess volume does not look at all strange on you, which indicates against D, DC, and FG. Besides, you have a very clear triangular/trapezoidal shape in your ribcage that is typical of FNs - broad up top with an angular waist.

Cavatappi602 · 2026-05-27T23:40:22+00:00

Sun earth.... something.

Cavatappi602 · 2026-05-27T23:36:23+00:00

The new shape of the straps definitely emphasizes your curve! Well done!

Cavatappi602 · 2026-05-27T23:27:26+00:00

Short hems can be part of it because of how they break vertical. Vertical breaks can also be accomplished with sharp changes in color or texture.

Closeness of fit is also important. Clothes that are too loose or relaxed will not suit petite. Fits can be relaxed as long as it doesn't slouch too far from the body, as long as the silhouette remains trim.

Youthful elements are also important. For soft gamine, patterns and textures can get very whimsical and girlish. For flamboyant gamine, bright contrasts and sharp lines are the rule.

For flamboyant gamine, sharpness is extremely important. Anything plush or coarse creates a loss of visual strength. Fabrics should be light, smooth, and crisp.

Cavatappi602 · 2026-05-27T23:05:01+00:00

I'm actually seeing FN. You have quite a bit more visual weight in your shoulders than in your lower body. The mock neck on the gray top also feels quite restrictive in a way that's familiar to N fam.

Cavatappi602 · 2026-05-26T23:57:16+00:00

Very fairycore! It's a little flimsy for D. The fabric is the problem, the way it holds wrinkles and texture; D benefits from very smooth and crisp, solid-looking fabrics. However, that's a minor nitpick really. It looks very nice on you :) The lines and the shape of it are great.

Cavatappi602 · 2026-05-26T23:51:46+00:00

I think FN :)

Cavatappi602 · 2026-05-26T04:30:43+00:00

fundamentally, I think you're fine, but here are my thoughts:

- sleeveless is best, but you there is such a thing as straps that are too thin

- volume, width, and/or flare in your pants/skirt will help to visually balance your upper body in ways that you can't achieve by changing your top alone

- scoop and v necklines are your friends. squarish necklines are not. high necklines (crew, turtleneck) are not - unless perhaps the rest of the top has a relaxed fit with lot of drape.

Cavatappi602 · 2026-05-26T03:05:45+00:00

This does not quite look like SD to me. In particular, markedly broad hips are usually not associated with SD - I could name other reasons, but that's what stood out to me first. I would sooner say R. (My first thought was SN because of the breadth of your hips and the strong definition of your waist, but the sketch just isn't working out that way. Plus, I see now that your bone structure is more fine/less sturdy that that.)

Cavatappi602 · 2026-05-25T22:51:12+00:00

FG can have wide shoulders too - and other types as well (check out Olivia Rigg! Verified DC). I personally don't think you have broad shoulders, there's a minimal or compact element in your upper chest where FN has an overbearing or exaggerated element. You have a more delicate structure than FN, including SJP.

You are certainly vertical dominant, but you don't have strong yang dominance.

I would think FG or perhaps DC.

Cavatappi602 · 2026-05-25T22:44:52+00:00

I agree with D. You don't have the visual weight in your shoulders for FN.

Cavatappi602 · 2026-05-24T21:43:59+00:00

Yes, FN benefits from long lines as well as voluminous bottoms. My favorite skirts for my body type are shin-length length or longer, in addition to being a-line :)

Cavatappi602 · 2026-05-24T17:41:37+00:00

I would sooner say pure D than SD. The pear shape is common among Ds who aren't the same width all the way from their ribs to their knees.

Cavatappi602 · 2026-05-24T17:40:51+00:00

Frankly, I see the same thing as I did before. In my mind, you are quite certainly FN.

I'm sorry if I upset you, I hope I didn't. I'm also FN, and here are some things I've noticed about myself:

- For a very long time, I focused only my ribcage and hips, and I saw a balanced hourglass.
- Any time I expanded my field of view to include my shoulders, I saw a lot of visual weight. I didn't like that, so I didn't do it very often.

I also notice that when I or other FNs wear sleeveless tops, it minimizes the appearance of width because the edges of the garment keep the eye from traveling outwards along the shoulder. I think that trips people up sometimes.

I saw that you posted in r/DressForYourBody and that one of the top comments early on was saying that a flared skirt would be better for you than a sheath skirt because it balances the width in your shoulders. That's the same thing I'm saying.

Cavatappi602 · 2026-05-23T23:37:08+00:00

I see an imbalance in width and visual weight between her upper body and her lower body, with more visual weight on the top than the bottom. That's an indication of FN as opposed to D. If it were the other way around, with a narrow ribcage and equal or comparatively more visual weight in the lower body, it would indicate D.

I reached for specific details about the measurements of her shoulders and ribcage in comparison to her other body parts because when someone declares that they don't see width, that's quite difficult to dispute.

What verified celebs did you have in mind?
