Would this dress suit my figure?

whatlliwear

I am a classic pear shape, size 14 - 16..
I have ordered this dress on Ebay & I really like it but I have no idea if it will suit me. I have a pear shaped figure & am quite small on top..

I think its a beautiful dress and could look nice as the shape is good for most figures... however you need to be careful with horizontal stripes as they can make u look bigger!!

BUT I firmly believe that u should try on everything that u like as sometimes how something is cut and designed, as well as the fabric, can suit you even when you think it won't - u may be pleasantly surprised !!!

Thanks, I hope it will be ok. I don't usually wear things that enhance that area but I love the dress so much I figure it was worth a try! Got it very cheap

pow wow

It's gorgeous! If you're quite small on top and the dress accentuates that you could try a bolero/shrug/wrap or a little accessory (maybe a pin on flower or somesuch) to balance it out and detract attention from the top/bottom pear difference.

Really pretty dress - hope it looks fab on

Good ole Ebay!! I am getting addicted...
