Pear shapes do not necessarily have longer torso and shorter legs. There are just as many pears who have shorter torsos and longer legs for their height (myself included, at 5'1"). Pear shape just means hips are wider than shoulders/top half. It is a completely independent variable from being short- or long-torsoed. If you're a petite pear with a short torso and relatively longer legs, many of these fashion tips can be flipped around. For instance, skinny jeans are MUCH better than wide-leg jeans (agree with dark wash is best, mind you), because having both longer legs and wider hips mean that most of your visual real estate is already on your bottom half, so you really don't want to be calling more attention by adding volume to the lower half. Also, longer tops that cover the hips and thighs are usually very unflattering on us, because they just make the whole body look as wide as the widest part. Instead, a top with a gently defined waist that skims the waist and hits just at the top of the hips is going to be much more flattering on us short-torsoed petite pears. A-line skirts are great but midi length is bad on us, go for knee-length or above the knee. Finally, horizontal necklines and off-shoulder tops should REALLY be avoided by us short-torsoed petite pears, because they create a horizontal cutoff on our already short torso, making our top half look even shorter. Instead, a v-neck, scoop neck, or any top with some detailing at the shoulder (ties, small puffed sleeves) will make the shoulders look wider and torso look taller, balancing us out. Jules Beth has a good video on her channel about this. Hope this helps anyone reading this who is struggling to adopt these tips because they have a short torso.

I’m a curvy pear. This is exactly what I needed.,

I love that you keep reminding us and reiterate that these tips are for IF you want to downplay your bottom curves and to do the opposite if you want to draw attention to it.

I’m not a pear but from the look of it 😂 pear seems to have a harder time finding pants to wear. Legs tend to look short and bigger.

conclusion: wear high rised , over-sized bottoms

I thought i was an hourglass shape but this video described precisely that i actually a skinny pear shaped girl. Long torso, small waist 🙌🏻 I now understand why I don’t feel good in certain of my outfits. This is an informative video and the references are much helpful 👍🏻

I almost always choose to emphasize. My jeans are skinny, my shorts are short, my dresses are bodycon and my shoes have ankle straps (so I don't roll my ankles, lol). However, you are always spot on with proportions and how to do more conservative silhouettes without looking frumpy.

Thanks for the tips -- most are spot on for me! I am that small boned, slim curvy pear shape mentioned -- rarely wear petite length as I'm 5 '4; however, I CAN wear the bias cut items -- when they are not skin tight cut, they must have room to move for example size up one size and it actually looks fantastic on my body for decades. I watch and enjoy your videos because although I'm not actually petite/rarely wear petite size, I am small boned so all the proportion tips are perfect!

Thank you for making a tips video on how to not wanting to draw attention to your thighs/curves, but to use your waist and what not. I’ve found this to be the case with myself thanks a lot! :)

These tips are so accurate. At the same time I had to cry because I dont want to limit myself and have to hide but at the same time im so insecure about it. Also you just cant wear anything thats in trend rn.

Loved this video! Everything you said resonated, especially about the satin bias cut. Unfortunately, I learned about that the hard way 😩

One of your best videos to date. I am grateful for all the useful tips and concepts you are teaching me!

One of the most useful videos I've ever seen on youtube. Thank you so much!

Great video! You have good advice with good explanations. I'm not petite at 5'8" , but I still apply your advice.

Im just in love with you channel! So fun and useful stuff. I'm a curvy pear, sometimes I wanna highlight it and sometimes just go for a more balanced look

You get right to the heart of what to avoid and embrace. This 🍐shaped girl appreciates your mentioning the rule of thirds. That helps reinforce the concepts of visual perception.

You are such a smart lady and you express your ideas so well. Your videos are very useful and so interesting to watch.

This video is amazing! I love every video you create, but this was the best of the best. Mostly because I'm a curvy pear and I'm trying to learn how to dress my body. Thank you!

This was extremely helpful for us petite pears..so many great tips, thank you

Fit pear shape here!! Looking for styles to compliment my shape in my 30's! Thanks for the video.

Love your videos. Very informative, as always. Thank you xx

I am classic petite pear shape... this was on point 100%! Thanks!!

Love all your tips! Thank you!

I'm laughing, 😂 great video! I'm a flat chested pear with a long torso and saddlebags!! And I wear petite sizes at 5'5"! I have to alter alot of clothes. You hit all the points perfectly 👍. What works? Fit and flare dresses and coats, short cropped fitted jackets, waisted shorts ala 1950's with side zipper, super high rise , darkish, pants and skirts, and yes, wide necklines! The only thing I would add is shoulder pads, they really help! I can't thank you enough!!!!! 😘

This is the best detailed video I have watched for pear 🍐shapes 💯, and I have watched quite a few...

The fit and flare dress is a game changer for me!!

Love the body shape series!💕💕

I love watching your videos! you have gotten more comfortable in front of the camera. i want to thank you for your petite videos I've learned a lot! 🌹are you making a video for hour glass figure?

Thank you! I’ve been waiting for this!💋

I always learn so much from you. Thanks.

I’ve learned so much from your videos! Yes, I’m a pear and proud of it! Thanks for the valuable hints!

I love A-line dresses! but my favorite type of dress is the wrap dress with a flare skirt.

Wow why are you so on point?!

I am 5'8" and still love your videos!!

Oh girl I need that blue dress !

Your best video yet. Thanks!

You just saved my life when it came to shopping, now I can get the right fit.

I’m curvy pear and I’m so proud of it. I even work more in the gym to make it bigger. Never knew women want to hide this 🤭😰🤷‍♀️ JLO looks amazing 🤩

Excellent video ! I’m a pear shape and the tips are just fab 👍

i knew I am a pear, and I was aware that my torso is longer, but I didn't know this things were related thank you I loved this video❤️

Yeeeeessss!!! Thank you!!! More, More, More of anything on this topic!!! :)

Your tips are right on! I would have put a white tee with a ballet neck and cap sleeves with the black jeans to give a more horizontal line to balance the hips. Good video.

Absolutely fantastic! Love your niche thank you :o)

The smartest woman. Thank you!!

Thank you so much for showing more modest options cuz I'm Muslim and pakhtun so I don't really wear tight clothing. You're a lifesaver

I'm a pear with short torso and longer legs. I almost always wear high waisted pants with crop tops/tops tucked in. Took me a long time to embrace my body shape instead of hiding it.

Thank you so much! I learned lots of new things here :)

Thank you!!

Thank you for this video, exactly what i needed

Bermuda shorts, which I love, are hot this season and they’re great for many shapes including pears. They have such a classy, timeless look.

It is amazing how you can so dramatically change your appearance to demostrate you point.

Great tips 😍😍😍

Ive been looking for this video ever since I’ve seen the hourglass video

The length of the skirt is tricky. I can't wear a skirt longer than knee length because I have large calves and ankles. Best spot is right above the knee, the narrowest part of my thigh. This will vary for every woman.

Thank you!

Great video as always! Please, continue with others body shape!

This was so good! Please give a few more examples of dresses with sleeves for the pear shaped girl.

I have longer legs and shorter torsal, and broad shoulders; I never wear skinny jeans, and never wear pencil skirt. I love aline, great tips.

Best video ever thank u so much 👏

Absolutely spot on, thank you! Due to a medical condition, my thighs are extremely large and somehow my hips also became wider in recent years, although my upper body is skinny, athletic (sometimes one can even count my ribs or see every tiny muscle of my arms, shoulders, neck and upper chest. Tiny boobs, too :( ) And my legs are so unproportionally huge that I can't even put on any kind of trousers. My favorite is A-line skirts and dresses, this cut is godsent! Occasionally (mainly on stage) I can have a long, tight dress which flares out a little bit down from the hip. I don't know how is that called, like a bell shape.

Great video! 😁👌🏻 Love it! Thank you. 💕💐

I love your videos! Al ways learn something!

I’m not a pear shape, but don’t want to miss any of your videos!

this is the most relevant fashion channel I have ever found!! thank you!!!

I wish I had this back in high school I’m a pear turning apple after having 3 kids 😂 being long bodied I’ve also caught on to a mini dress (one that normally would go to the thigh but barely covers my butt because of my longer body) makes a nice shirt that flares around my hips nicely for when I do wear a little bit tighter Jean or those dreaded yoga pants that are so comfortable but don’t want my hips and legs to look really awkward. So glad I found your channel 💕

Great advise!!

aha💡so that is where my torso is! 🤣 thanks for this video..already commenting in the first 1 minute and a half😊

About bias cut: we pears look great in bias dresses IF the fabric has a busy pattern! The slinkiness flatters our curves and the patterns camouflage any bumps.

A lot of good tips here. I personally disagree with the bias cut. I absolutely love the way the bias cut looks on my pear shape. Then again, the dress I tried on was was a high boat neck with quarter sleeves so that probably balanced me out a lot.

Thank you for such helpful tips! I love the shoes that you had at the beginning of the video (the pinkish paige ish- can’t tell the color accurately). Could you please tell me what’s the brand and name of the shoes? Thanks a bunch!

You look good in everything! So cute

I guess this is my lucky day having able to find this video just before I sleep.i can't wait to apply this in my dresses

I use the Rule of 3rds thirds in my Art to achieve greater pleasing compositions .✌💯🙏🥳 cool stuff.

I’m pear-shaped, with wide hip bones, even when I weighed less than 100 pounds. But, I’m short-waisted. My ribs sit almost at my waist. Finding clothes that look good is tough.

This is the only video I’ve seen from you but I love you lmao

But you look amazing in those white jeans with the black top. Sooooo cute and chic!

This is so goooooood ❤️❤️

Thank you for sharing

Imma pear but I'm also a skinny jeans addict. Wide leg pants of all kinds are a no. Would love to see a video on best dresses for pear shaped

im really insceure abt my side leg, so ty for showing me how to hide them

Pear shaped is sexy. Especially in sexy skinny jeans. It emphasizes your small waist and wide hips! Girl flaunt it! Wear whatever outfit you like.

Great video and tips!!! Any brand recommendations for petite pears?

I am pear-shaped and just about finished with my first ever bodycon dress, constructed and sewn out of a whimsy. Now I know that I should add not long sleeves, but an off-shoulder decor... a revelation! Btw, the inventor of the bias cut was Madeleine Vionnet in 1930s France, she made draped dresses popular in western fashion. After the boyish, youthful body type popular in the 1920s and the following straight chemise dresses, women were finally allowed to have a waist again, and the wider hips fashion followed - after the shortages of WW II - in the 1950s with Diors New Look. Fashion history is a fun quarantine entertainment indeed. :)

Thankyou dear❤❤

So I am a pear and I have quite long legs (that is what everyone tells me) And in the past I was insecure about my thighs and stuff but it got kinda popular to have big thighs so I kinda like them now :>

Super video!

Hi! Which is the video with the measure tips to find out the body proportions? Thank you and cheers from Germany!

I'm a curvy pear shaped woman with a short torso. Even though long shirts look awful on my shape, it's still the most comfortable for me, but I look like a tent 😆

love this as a classic pear shape

This is so helpful. It's really difficult to find perfect jeans as a petite and pear.l want flare jeans and wide leg jeans, but length are always too long for me. Any advice?

Thank you. I’m a plus size pear shape.

I have found my long lost community. 😭💙

Please, please. Do one video for rectangular shape...thanks u for your help
