Pear Shape: http://thefashionablehousewife.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/07/pear-shaped.gif
You are smaller on top, and larger on the bottom. Think of a tear drop shape, it gets larger at the bottom. Chances are, you have trouble finding a dress the right size and your pant size is 2 or more sizes bigger than your shirt size. If you have a similar body type to Oprah, then you’re a Pear.

Signs you are a Pear:

1. Large hips and thighs
2. Smaller upper body
3. When you gain weight, it tends to show up around your thighs and hips

Tips: If you want to draw the attention from how big your thighs and butt are, wear loose fitting tops with slim fitting pants or jeans. If you don’t mind your shape, then show off your curves with slim fitting clothes that accentuate your small waist. Remember that you should wear solid, dark colors on the bottom and lighter colors on top (light colors draw the attention to your top).

Round Shape: http://thefashionablehousewife.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/07/round.gif
Most of your weight is around your tummy, and you probably have large breasts. You have an overall rounded body shape with a wide waist. Many women at one point or another will fall under this shape due to natural changes in the body.

Signs you are a Round shape:

1. You have narrow shoulders and hips.
2. You don’t have a well defined waistline
3. The centre of your body is largest
4. Or you may wear plus sizes.

Tips: Prints and patterns will help distract the eyes away from the body. A staple item for you should be a body shaper. These are great when you want to wear dresses. Tummy control underwear or pantyhose will to help flatten your gut. Shorter shorts will make your entire body appear longer. You want to try to define your waist as much as possible. Buy clothes that will accentuate your waist and make your top and bottom appear bigger. Remember the goal when dressing is to have an hourglass figure in the end.

Apple Shape: http://thefashionablehousewife.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/07/apple.gif
You’re top heavy, and smaller from the waist down. The Apple is similar to the Hour Glass, but you have slightly larger upper body with broad shoulders.

Think of an upside down triangle with the two corners on the top. That would represent your shoulders. Celebrities with Apple shape bodies include Tyra Banks and Dolly Parton.

Signs you are an Apple:

1. Large chest or breasts for your frame
2. Broad shoulders
3. Or generally your upper body has a larger frame compared to your bottom’s

Tips: Avoid wearing low cut tops, instead wear shirts with high necklines or thick straps. Wrap shirts and wrap dresses are best for your body shape. V necklines are flattering as long as they don’t show too much cleavage. Because of your large chest, if you show too much, it can look sluty instead of flattering.
