Q- I am a typical pear shape – small breasts but large hips. My waist is small – about 30″ and my hips are 40″. I know how to dress for my shape, but I cant find clothing brands that fit me! I go to places like J Crew, Ann Taylor Banana Republic, and nothing works! I tailor when I can, but its hard just to get even close to my size. Do you have any recommendations?
A- You know to dress for your shape, so you are halfway there! I hate to break it to you, but a tailor is going to be your best friend. Buy big and get those babies taken in to fit you like a glove.
Another recommendation I have is MyShape.com. This site has 7 different body types to shop by and it gives you outfits and items to shop for based on that information. You can also go in there, create a profile with your exact measurements, and MyShape will style you accordingly. I think that MyShape is great for women who have difficulty finding clothes for their bodies.
So give those two ideas a shot and readers, if you have advice on this topic please leave it the comments.
You can also check out my shopping lists for pear shaped bodies here and here.
Wow, that MyShape website is a godsend. I have always had trouble shopping for my shape, and now this has been a huge help. This will make back-to-school shopping soooo much easier!!
