I’m an inverted triangle with a defined waist and while it obviously doesn’t work for all, I recommend open backs on your dresses and definitely don’t add embroidery on the top. Defining your waist further is critical if you want a tighter dress shape, so definitely go for something with more flare at the bottom/something that exaggerates the curve of your waist! Love you all and no matter your body types you’re so so so beautiful!! Remember don’t let your body define what you wear and if you really like something, absolutely go for it. Confidence is really the key but these are things that helped me like my dresses more personally! :)

I'm a [former] hourglass that has morphed with age, but I don't fit either the technical definition of an apple nor pear. My shoulders aren't wider than my hips, so I don't fit the apple definition. My breasts are still large, although not as large as they used to be, and my waist/hip definition is still a bit too much, so I don't fit the definition of a pear. I'm currently working with the idea that my waist, tummy, and hips need to be treated as if I'm an apple/pear. I'm extremely self-conscious about it, so that's what I need to do.

@soon8727 2 жыл бұрын

Me too! I have lost waist definition but still smaller than most my age. I am dressing like an apple or rectangle but avoiding short skirts, since my legs are still chunkier than the apple or rectangle. It seems to work for me. I still wear some hourglass shapes like sheath but avoid the full skirts I used to be able to wear, since my waist has broadened.

I know this, but surprisingly the X sillouhette works for me. In the begining I was wearing straight dresses to bude my belly, but X shape is better, or A. It doesnt look so great, like when I have defined waist, but it still is the best option.

My Shape is Pear. 🍐 I have 9 favorite off-the-shoulder tops that I wear. In fact, I am currently wearing a floral off-the-shoulder blouse. I think that this style compliments my neck, shoulders while displaying my collarbones. And I’ve received many compliments about my upper body (like collarbones). I agree w/ your advice for the Pear shape. Thank you so much! ☺️

This is great. A video on skinny legs or thicker legs, and his to dress to accommodate would be good Usually tummy, arms and torso shapes are discussed but never leg 🦵 proportions and or foot 🦶 proportions I’m an inverted triangle… fuller chest and bum - slimmer legs … I can easily look too heavy or bulky with no curves and scrawny legs - it has taken me years to figure out how to balance that proportion out I’m sure I can’t be the only one but it seems like people don’t really talk about that as an issue just a thought you do a great job and I appreciate all of your videos

Hi Chi!! You have such great tips and advise! I’m stuck between petite hourglass with a short torso and inverted triangle. I’m 5’0, my hips and bust are the same size, both very full but my waist isn’t as defined as a typical hourglass and my shoulders are broader than my hips. Which one would you classify me as?

I have trouble finding clothes that fit me well. I have broad shoulders, a tummy, flat bum, thick legs. My sizing goes anywhere from some smalls all the way up to XL. Recently, I have decided to go through my closet and remake the majority of my clothes. Still not sure what type of skirts or dresses would be right for me. This really hit home when I recently had to go to a funeral. Any suggestions?

@theflorencesoffgridjourney2960 2 жыл бұрын

I need help determining my body type. I have a very small chest, my shoulders are wider than my hips, but I also tend to gain weight first in my belly and have thick thighs and full butt. I currently weigh 124lbs. I feel like I’m a weird mix of a lot of things and I don’t know how to figure it out. Can you help?

@Aquelina 2 жыл бұрын

I don't know if this helps but you should check if the fuller part of your thighs is wider than your shoulders... If your shoulders are the widest of the two, you have an inverted triangle shape. If the thighs are the ones that are the widest, it means you have a peae-shaped body. You could also have a bit of apple. For example, my body type is hour-glassy but I have a lil of stomach so I can mix both recommended styles of dresses for hour-glass and apple and because of my thick thighs I can also use pear recommended stuff. Also spandex is your best friend for very tight dresses c:

I'm a big size hourglass and I really have struggles to find a dress, that looks good on me. Not only you say that a wrap dress is soo flattering for me. But when I wear it, it looks awfull. It always looks messy and wrinkled at the wrong parts. I think I look disarrenged and theres is no way for me to look elegant in such a dress. A wide bottom part of the dresses falls over my booty like a tent and always looks bulky and remembers me to a traditional farmer's skirt. Not very elegant either. But wearing a smaller skirt emphasizes my big booty too much. I already gave up wearing dresses this year. Only trousers for me :(

@angelas5099 Жыл бұрын

Have you tried A-line dresses? Get a belt with it if the waist is too loose. A floor lengthA-line dress with a wide belt is usually amazing on plus sized women. And if you want to take attention away from your lower body, wear pretty necklace/earrings or have a pretty updo. Even top part of dress have some details can draw attention upwards. If you want to take attention away from your lower half, you need to dress like a pear shape.
