Style me?!

    I'm hopeless at this whole fashion gig, and my form is a bit difficult to fit properly, so I'm seeking your expert advice!

    I've a kind of hourglassy shape; wide hips (38"), small waist (26"), shoulders as wide as my hips so I look balanced. B cups and an arse. I can't find anything that really suits me, most stuff these days is made for people who're apparently made straight up and down!

    I tried to find actresses who I liked who had a similar figure to get an idea of what would suit me, but I really can't find any; at least, when I do, they're usually more well-endowed and more the "true" hourglass shape, and their clothes probably wouldn't look quite right on me.

    So, how am I supposed to dress for my form? Also, are there any shops in particular (that I can access online as I'm not in Ireland) that would have a really good fitting pair of jeans for someone with a large butt/hips and small waist? And I know damn well what kind of tops I should avoid, but what should I try looking for?

    Jeans wise I'd suggest a bootcut, to balance the bottom of your body with your hips. A plain, dark wash is most flattering. Oasis jeans Topshop jeans

    Tops wise, I think some long, tunic style tops could work. They cover your hips creating a smooth shape down towards your legs, and you can cinch your tiny waist with a belt. A top that just skims the top of your jeans will shorten the torso and highlight larger hips.

    I know it sounds like hell, but if you could take a shopping day, you should just try on loads of different style tops after you get jeans. Take a good look in the mirror and see what suits you bet and what you feel comfortable in. Don't know where you're located so can't suggest shops in your area.
