17 Seriously Flattering Dresses for Pear-Shaped Bodies - Us Weekly

Posted: 29 Apr 2021 01:35 PM PDT

Us Weekly has affiliate partnerships so we may receive compensation for some links to products and services.

Do you know your body type? Many women have a pear shape, also known as the triangle shape. If you're a pear shape, your hips and thighs are wider than your shoulders and chest, somewhat resembling the delicious fruit. Having a pear shape means you have a naturally snatched waistline — yay! — but it also means it can be hard to find dresses that properly show off and flatter your figure.

If you have a pear-shaped body, there are many different styles of dresses you can try. You can't go wrong with something more fitted at the top and flared at the skirt, like an A-line or fit-and-flare. Meanwhile, something like a shift dress might drape more awkwardly on you. You don't have to stop there though. You could go for an off-the-shoulder neckline or puff sleeves for a more balanced look, a plunging neckline to draw the attention down to your waist or a totally fitted bodycon style. Wrap dresses, of course, also look fabulous — as they do on everyone!

It's one thing to talk about what looks work on a pear body type, but it's another to actually see (and buy) the clothes, so let's do it! We've picked out 17 pieces representing the types of dresses we mentioned above that will flatter a pear shape like no other. Time to shop!

A-Line Dresses

1. Our Absolute Favorite: This YATHON dress is one of the best T-shirt dresses we've seen thanks to its A-line fit. It's something you can wear everywhere!

Kate Middleton's Floral Print Maxi Wrap Dress Is a Spring Staple - PEOPLE.com

Posted: 29 Apr 2021 03:00 PM PDT

Products in this story are independently selected and featured editorially. If you make a purchase using these links we may earn commission.

The wrap-style maxi Middleton wore for the photoshoot is from Ghost London. It was available on ASOS prior to the release of the stunning images, and promptly sold out thereafter, which isn't surprising considering the Middleton Effect is still very much in full swing. If you want to get your hands on anything the duchess owns, you have to act fast, but there is some good news. There are plenty of similar styles available on Amazon that have Middleton written all over them.

The duchess' blue dress has long, sheer sleeves, which is great for that in-between weather we typically get this time of year. The maxi-length is also ideal for spring, as you still get that ease and breeze of a dress without having to bare it all. But the real standout element of Middleton's maxi is the wrap style bodice, and if you've ever worn this silhouette, you know why.

The wrap-around dress has been here for decades. Though Diane von Furstenberg is often credited with inventing the silhouette in the 1970s, its history actually dates back to the early 1930s and 1940s, with its form "deeply embedded in the American designer sportswear tradition," according to The Met. Today, the wrap dress remains a world-wide favorite thanks to its ultra-flattering fit. Its wrap-around front accentuates the waist, and its classic silhouette works for all ages. 

You'll have no problem finding a wrap dress that works for you, but to help in your search for the perfect waist-cinching number, we highlighted our favorites on Amazon that would definitely earn Middleton's stamp of approval. Some are short sleeves, others long like Middleton's, but they're all gorgeous. Shop them below.
