For pear-shaped women
February 1st, 2010 by admin
For pear-shaped women who want to draw attention away from their hips, empire and Basque silhouettes are your best bets like Bridgend wedding dresses. With a small, scooped bodice and a high waist with a slender skirt, the empire shape will highlight your best features. The cinch under the bust line tends to draw attention away from the hips and focused above the waistline (An A-line/Princess cut will do the same, as the full skirt covers the hips and cinches at the waist to emphasize your thin waist line). Basque shapes identifiable by the V-shaped bodice that dips below the waistline also brings the eye away from your hips and to your thin waist and bust. Platinums Silk Crepe Georgette Slim Gown with deep notched neckline and dramatic beading at front empire seam (Empire) and Platinums Silk Satin Strapless Ballgown with heavily embroidered corset bodice and skirt (Basque) are great references for those shapes.
