In this feature, we discuss the best wedding dresses for a pear shape body. A pear shape is described as having narrow shoulders, a smaller waist, and fuller hips. The key to dressing for this shape is to balance out the smaller top half and a larger bottom half. So how do we do this? First, determine the shape of the dress you want. If you are looking for an a-line or a princess ball gown, these are the perfect silhouettes to start with. If you are thinking of a mermaid or fit to flare, this is definitely doable with a few strategic additions. Next, you work with the appropriate neck line. V-neck and Sweetheart are always appropriate, as are square and off the shoulder. Any neck line that will give a visual of broadening the shoulders works beautifully. Once you have your silhouette and neck line, you can accessorize. If your dress is strapless, you can get a shoulder wrap that will add visual dimension to your shoulders and balance the hips. If you have a more fitted dress, you can add off the shoulder straps for balance. You can always add a belt to highlight the waist giving more of an hourglass figure. To elongate your balanced frame, choose a cathedral length veil; if you need to broaden the upper body, try an elbow or shorter length.
