How To Choose Gown For Pear Shape

When you think red carpet gowns you mind automatically goes to the A list celebrities walking into the Oscars with perfect figures and their hair done beautifully and their perfect smiles. How many countless times have you wished to have a body like theirs. Not everyone – not even all celebrities are blessed with slim hips. Even supermodels resort to tactics to hide less than perfect hips by adjusting the camera angle or altering what they wear. Now we may not have any camera angles to adjust but we most certainly can take a tip off those women who pay thousands of dollars to look good on the screen.

The first thing you need to do is realize that not all girls are predisposed to have the super slim hips of a supermodel. Accept who you are! If you have a pear shaped body that’s absolutely fine. You are just going to have to learn to dress it up and conceal those hips better. You may not have to go through any drastic alterations. Just subtle changes here and there might work wonders. Here are some fabulous ways to disguise large hips:

• Emphasize Your Upper Body:
Pick out a beautiful red carpet gown that emphasizes your narrow shoulders and your gorgeous upper body. A brighter colored top always looks fantastic. Pick out a party gown that has more work or glitter on the bodice. Another great trick is to pick out a dress with just a hint of shoulder pads. This gives your body some more balance. You can also use accessories to create a change in visual. A bright silk scarf or an interesting glittering chain – all of these take the eye of the observer to the upper half of your dress making you look well balanced and gorgeous.

• Take Advantage Of Colors:
Dual shaded gowns are in huge demand these days which is actually rather convenient for pear shaped women. Pick out beautiful dual shaded gowns with a bright bodice and a darker shaded bottom. They look trendy and are quite the rage. Rest assured you are bound to be the belle of the ball.

• Fiddle With Fabrics:
The fabric you choose has a huge hand in how your hips appear. Satin is your biggest enemy. Satin has the amazing ability to highlight all your flaws in bold. Always avoid fabrics that have a strong pattern, like horizontal stripes or loud, bright graphics, or fabrics which are billowy. Chiffon is a good choice and so is linen.

• Choose the Most Flattering Skirt Styles:
There is a huge plethora of red carpet gowns available. Some have fitting skirts, some have A line ones, some have mermaid styles – the choices are endless. Always pick out gowns with A line skirts – the kind that starts at the waist and widens towards the hemline. This emphasizes your tiny waist and does a brilliant job of concealing those hips. Another great choice is to go for empire waist gowns. The most flattering length to choose would probably be something that ends is just below the knee.
