Ugh, I'm still trying to figure out my shape. I think my dominant issues are splayed (they've been ... east/west since they sprouted); rather than center fullness I feel like I have more difficulty with outer emptiness, if that makes sense; and mushy, compressible tissue (they've been charmingly referred to as "convertible"). And roots? Every day I think I'm tall... no, short and wide... wait, narrow?

Regardless, armed with my estimated starting size, I'm determined to find ABTF (and posting a LOT of bad fits). When shopping for my first formal dress and scoffing at all of my mother's suggestions, she told me "you don't *really* know how something looks until you try it on." You can blame this wise woman for my enthusiasm and tenacity to find that unicorn... And probably my propensity for not giving up on shapes that are actually, in reality, never going to fit until I've tried on at least 6 different sizes.

Happy trails ;]
