Your body shape will stay with you your whole life. No matter how much weight you lose or how much you exercise, you will not attain “the one ideal” (which is usually a body shape you do not have). Whether you wear a size 2 or a size 22, your body type affects what suits you best. Proportions are as important for women with curvy figures.
Instead of wanting to change your body type – emphasize your advantages! Each body type has several beautiful parts you can highlight (and downplay others if you do not like them as much).
Of course not every woman falls exactly into one of the categories. You might not be exactly an hourglass, but an hourglass with pear tendencies. Or a pear with a little extra weight around your waist. The point is in choosing the body type that is the closest to your body and then use the information here to find your way to dress with your style.
Know how to observe your body shape
Observe your overall body shape. Focus on the shape of your torso – shoulders to hips. How do your shoulders compare to your waistline and your hips? Is your weight equally distributed?
1)Shoulders wider than waistline and hip line: Congratulations, you are an
inverted triangle!
2)Hips wider than shoulders and waistline: Congratulations, you are a
pear!
3)Hips and shoulders same width, waistline a lot smaller: Congratulations, you are an
hourglass!
4)Shoulders, waistline and hip line about same size. If you gain weight, you gain it evenly in all areas: Congratulations, you are a
rectangle!
5)Shoulders and hip line are about same size. Waistline is same size or wider than shoulders and hips: Congratulations, you are a
apple!
Avoid weaknesses
Girls with pear-shaped figures should wear simple clothes. The most important thing is to learn to avoid weaknesses, not too loose on the upper body, not too long or even too fancy. The lower body should be as loose, comfortable and high waist as possible. The overall shape of the upper narrow and lower wide.
Guides how to wear
1)Wear a
high waist A-line dress
In fact, there are many dresses that can be chosen for the cute little pear shape. For example, empire waist A-line dress with obvious waistline. A slightly high-waisted skirt that stretches the proportions of the legs and visually makes the lower body more delicate.
2)Mermaid silhouette dresses
You are recommended to wear straps, sleeveless top and matching it with a long mermaid or wrap skirt that reveals the sexy and beautiful curves and covers the small flesh on the leg. (New
straps prom dresses for your day.)
3)Don't wear a puffy sleeves dress
Promise that don't choose the kind of lantern sleeves and princess sleeves. The choice of slings, sleeveless and short-sleeved models is all right. The long-length shirt skirt with waist is quite elegant.
4) Show curves but hide legs
Most of the goddesses of pear shape are thicker legs, and you should give up the mini skirt or straight skirt. It is best to choose the wide open skirt.
As for the prom dresses,
wedding guest dresses or formal events dresses, also the same way. Try to find out the most suitable dress for your body shape.
