Still looking for that perfect party dress? Panicking about what to wear over the Christmas period? Well we've found the perfect outfit for you, no matter what body shape you are.
FemaleFirst is on a mission to get everybody looking fantastic this Christmas, working the key winter trends but adapting them to your shape. Today we'll be dressing all the pear shaped girls out there with womanly Kate Winslet style figures.
Pear shaped describes women who carry must of their weight below their waistline. Often they have a slim torso and wide hips so that their shoulders and narrower than their hips. Pear shapes often have well defined waists.
Clothes that emphasise the waist work well on this shape as do a line skirts or wrap around styles as they slim the hips.
Short or tight skirts should be avoided as they accentuate the tops of your thighs. Light coloured should not be worn on bottoms, stick to darker colours which will absorb the light.
Wear fitted clothes on your top half to keep the focus there and wear accessories on the top half to divert attention away from the thighs.
This lantern shape Warehouse dress, £65 is perfect. The tulip shape skirt won't cling to thighs and the tight fitting top will emphasise a slim waist. The bow detail on the back is a great twist to the dress.
Wear with simple black shoes, £25 New Look, and gold accessories, clutch bag, £13.71 ASOS. A long necklace like this Miss Selfridge one, £15 will keep attention upwards and the long length won't cut into the neckline on the dress, perfect!
