The results of Shondar and my experiment.
Posted in Experimental on 10/20/2009 10:27 pm by adminHere are the before pictures:

The Long Bones is on the left, the Shondar is on the right.
You can’t tell by looking at it but I am 6′0 and Shondar is 5′3″. Our BMIs are almost identical but our body types are about opposite.
We went to Old Navy and found some mannequins to emulate. My idea was that clothes would fit better on me because my body shape is long and tall and not so good on Shondar because she is shorter and curvier. However:

The trendier clothes were obviously built for a less curvy figure:

By the way, you’ll never see me in skinny jeans again (after the next picture). Ugh. So even though the close were built for taller women without important things like boobs or hips or a waist (like me!) Shondar could still fill out a shirt like mad:

Also, clingy shirts clung in the wrong places on me, while they made Shondar look amazing (it doesn’t help that the only one in my size was white and see through):

Shirts with more float and flounce looked better on me: If there wasn’t enough definition I looked good and Shondar looked lumpy:

I love the use of facial expressions that match the text for each outfit!

Love the pics! It was kinda hard to see what your body looked like now from just the face shot you see on livestrong, so I’m glad to see these full body shots. You’re lookin REALLY good!
