Fashion for bottom heavy women with big hips
So you've got heavy hips but narrow shoulders. A pear shaped figure if you will. A Type A. The good news is that you can wear all the details and trimmings you want on top. Your slim torso, narrow rib cage and small waist allows you to wear lace, breast pockets, even shirring and trims on your shirts. What you have to watch out for is your heavier bottom.
For a flattering look, you'd want to create the longest looking line possible
to balance your upper body with your lower body for a more proportionate look.
If your bust is small, try a padded
bra under a close fitted top or a skimming top. Make your tops interesting
and pair them with solid bottoms. I came across an interesting herb from
Thailand that enhances a woman's secondary characteristics. Female monkeys in a
lab who took the herb regularly grew bigger breasts. That got researchers crazy,
so now there are entire ranges of breast enlargement products based on that
herb. You can find these breast enlargement products at Phuket
Herb. It is an alternative to wearing push
up bras.
For your bottoms, go for a fit that skims your body. Avoid the tight jeans or jeans with details around your butt, front hip or thighs as you do not want to draw attention to these areas. Wear your jeans or pants long with high heels if possible, to give the illusion of longer legs and a slimmer overall look.
Go through your wardrobe. Remove the outfits that don't flatter you and replace them with the ones that do.
What are the types of clothing that flatter the pear shaped figure? These are swimsuits for pear shape figures.
| Let's start with your dresses. Your ideal dress emphasizes
on your slim upper body and draws attention upwards. You want that
feminine look with a lovely neckline. Your dress should smooth over your
bottom, not too tight fitting below. A cut that skims over the lower half
of your body is a lot more flattering that one that is tight and which
would make you look fat.

What sort of tops should you wear?
You can get away with a lot more than your top heavy sisters. Frills, chest pockets, shirring, lace, prints, the works. Draw attention to your slim torso with a pretty top. Your best tops include |
| As for pants, your best bet is something straight cut, low
waist, flat front as simple as possible. An easy fit with a straight full
leg is ideal.
Your best pants include Avoid shorts if you have heavy legs as they would draw attention your legs and your bottom. If you do wear crop pants or capris, make sure they do not taper in through your thigh. If you must wear crops or capris, make sure they are cropped at your ankle for the slimmest look possible.

When it comes to skirts, the same rule applies. Go for
simplicity in body slimming cuts.
These are the skirts that would flatter you most. |
| To balance your heavy bottom, your jackets should reach your
hips to below your bottom. Avoid a jacket that ends at the widest part of
your hips as that would make your hips look even wider.
