Dresses for Pearshapes

I recently had a request to blog about dresses for pearshapes. The biggest myth is that a pearshape should wear oversized tops and cardigans.........eeeeeeeek!!

Also, sharply tailored garments are more difficult to make, more expensive, and can be worn by fewer people. Think about it — the better something fits you, the worse it is going to fit pretty much everyone else. Instead, look for pieces with clean lines and sharp tailoring, and always choose pleats over gathered seams. 2. Embellishments Embroidery, sequins, beading, and studs look amazing when they are applied by skilled craftspeople using high-quality materials, but not so much when they are done by machine on a $20 T-shirt. Even if an embellished piece looks OK in the store or in a picture, you know that once you start wearing it for real, it's going to fall apart, and nothing looks cheaper than a jeweled sweater with missing jewels. Instead, focus on simple, unadorned pieces, and use your jewelry and other accessories as e...
