I’m pear shaped (big hips and short legs) and I need help picking a dress that makes my body look the most proportionate. Please disregard the length of the dresses as that will be altered once I’ve made my pick ☺️
I love what #3 does with your waist, but the parallel lines between your chest and your waist on #2 bring it over the top for me. Your collarbone/neck and shoulders are so beautiful, and it gives major hourglass.
2 for sure! The other ones are lovely but they look more like they’re wearing you than you wearing them. 2 is super flattering for both your figure and your height :)

Ohhh can I ask where you completed your studies and what you’re doing with it now? Always been interested in this and would love to know more about your experiences!
Ps agreed with dress #2. Colour and cut is perfection for you 💎
Ofc! I studied at Thomas Jefferson University (which was previously the Philadelphia Textile Institute, a renowned and nationally-recognized school for its textile and design programs before it merged with TJH in 2017ish).
I’m currently working for URBN, the parent company to brands Urban Outfitters, Free People, Anthropologie, etc.)
1 looks nice but 2 fits your waist really well and also balances out your pear shape since that’s what you’re looking for. I feel like 1 almost exaggerates your shape which imo isn’t a bad thing but just something to consider if it’s not what you’re going for
Oh wow OM goodness I can see why you have a had time picking they are all lovely except for number 4. That one does nothing for you. I had to go with first one. It suits you. The other ones too much fabric and swallow you up.
Personally I like dress #3 on you the best, but it will need to be altered it’s way to long which I’m sure you already know! You look beautiful in all of them, in my opinion the third one looks the best! Have a great time!
3 is a trendy dress, in my opinion, but i don’t like the neckline. It accentuates the shoulders in boxy way. I really like 1. It’s very elegant and sophisticated, but the second option for me would be 2. Two is very fun and pretty.
1. The waist is too low and the draping at the bottom accentuate your hips. The baggy top doesn’t do anything for you either.
2. Again, I think the waist is a tad low. But I think the neckline is nice as it makes your top half look a bit wider to balance out your hips.
3. This is the best dress by far.
4. The pleating at the waist isn’t super flattering and the top is blah.
PS I think the color of all the dresses is gorgeous on you!
I love the look of dress #1, but I feel like dress #3 would help give the illusion of longer legs! Dress #4 looks nice as well for a more casual occasion!
3 all the way! the blue isnt too desaturated like 1, it isnt too saturated like 4, and straps dont necessarily look bad on you, but they dont look good either, (ps. i LOVE your smile, im honestly jealous lol)
Most definitely number 1, because It shows your curves and I’d definitely wear it because im 5’1 too. 2 and 3 is long, dress is not doing u any good in shape and afraid they might trip you over.

2 or 3!
2 looks amazing !!
2 is honestly breathtaking! You look gorgeous in it!
Get the dress hemmed and it’ll make worlds a difference.

Number 2!
Yes, #2 by a mile for me!
NUMBER 2

The second and the third are gorgeous! I think the third one is a bit more flattering on you though. But both would be great choices!

So fascinating! Thanks for the info ❤️
I think 2 looks lovely on you
I think dress #2 is the most flattering. It makes your figure look hourglass. Dress #4 is the LEAST flattering. It looks matronly.
#3
3 is my fav, 2 is runner up
Come on!!!! More votes for 3!!!
Totally agree with this.
#3!!!
2 &3 👍😊
2 is the best! Number 3 is also awesome if you'd alter it a little bit to fit your body better.
3
2 flatters you the most. I like 3 for the buttom half, not a fan of the neck. 1 design is really nice but it needs some alterations here and there
3 is my favorite!
#2 is most flattering
Number 3 is more elegant than 2
This 👆
2!

#3
#2. It's 100% the best one. Fits the best, material looks the best
#2 hemmed is GORGEOUS! Look @ that snatched waist!
2!! Simple, elegant, and flattering 😃
2 or 3!
2

2! It fits your shape the best
3
2
#3 hands down!!
3
2 fits the best. 3 would need some minor adjustments. 1 not for you.
I love #3.
3!!!
Number 2 is what I would pick. Looks so lovely on you!
3!
Two and three are beautiful!
#3

Number 3 fits your frame better, makes you look taller and because it’s tight on the neck it gives you a lovely silhouette!

3!

Oh wow OM goodness I can see why you have a had time picking they are all lovely except for number 4. That one does nothing for you. I had to go with first one. It suits you. The other ones too much fabric and swallow you up.
2, then 3 You couldn't go wrong with either one. But 2 is shiny. And it drapes well. And it suits your figure slightly better.
I love number 2! I think 3 is pretty too, it just doesn’t fit your chest as well
2!!
3
2 then 3, in that order of preference.
Personally I like dress #3 on you the best, but it will need to be altered it’s way to long which I’m sure you already know! You look beautiful in all of them, in my opinion the third one looks the best! Have a great time!
3! But I also like 4
I think 2 or 3 but first instinct was 2! Beautiful dresses and love the color!!!
I'm in love with number 3 (on you). They're all quite nice though.
2 or 3.

3
I love 2 best for you.
The only option is 2
2
2!!
The 2nd dress
2!!!
Second
The first one complements your figure
You look great in all, but the shades and fit of #2 and #3 are stunning! Both need the length to be shortened, but other than that, you look amazing!
\#2 and #3!
2 or 3
2 or 3 well done
2 and 3 for sure. Theure gorgeous!
2d
3 then 2
3 is my favourite by far, 2 is good too. 3 elongates you and suits you the best.
3-4!!
the three suits you well and the 4 is nice ^ ^
3 and then 2. No to 1 and 4
2 or 3
2!
I think 2, but be sure to press it!
#1
#1 is 🔥
1st one
1 or 3
My favs are #1 and #2 _#1 fits amazing on you but the style is a little outdated
3, has a more flattering neckline than 2, very body fitting, fabric looks lush as well
Definitely number 2! It’s beautiful on you.
I like #1
2 or 4
3, then 2.
Surprise no one is saying 1! It fits her shape so sweet
Any of them but #4. The low sleeve drags your look down
3 is a trendy dress, in my opinion, but i don’t like the neckline. It accentuates the shoulders in boxy way. I really like 1. It’s very elegant and sophisticated, but the second option for me would be 2. Two is very fun and pretty.
1. The waist is too low and the draping at the bottom accentuate your hips. The baggy top doesn’t do anything for you either. 2. Again, I think the waist is a tad low. But I think the neckline is nice as it makes your top half look a bit wider to balance out your hips. 3. This is the best dress by far. 4. The pleating at the waist isn’t super flattering and the top is blah. PS I think the color of all the dresses is gorgeous on you!
2nd one
2!
4!!
I love the look of dress #1, but I feel like dress #3 would help give the illusion of longer legs! Dress #4 looks nice as well for a more casual occasion!
1 then 3
Clearly the blue one.
Keep looking
IN MY OPENION THIS DRESS IS THE BEST TO LOOKS AND IF YOU WILL WEAR IT I ENSURED I WILL KISSING YOU OVER LOVE LIPS-----
Either
1
The second absolutely no contest
They’re honestly all so pretty. 1 and 3
Honestly love 1,2,3. 3 had the wow factor for me, definitely, but 1 fits your body shape so nicely, as well and 2 has such a lovely colour and fit!
3 all the way! the blue isnt too desaturated like 1, it isnt too saturated like 4, and straps dont necessarily look bad on you, but they dont look good either, (ps. i LOVE your smile, im honestly jealous lol)
I agree 3 is the best but doesn’t fit you as well as 2. 2 is really nice as well, just not as much design and it doesn’t feel as special as 3.
3, but you need to hem it shorter, so it’s not dragging in the floor.
**^(My eyes got hooked in 2 and 3 dress but the second is kinda common and so I suggest 3 , it is simple and elegant.)**
1 or 2. 1 is a beautiful color and style. So is 2 and it fits you perfectly
I would say 3, but 2 also looks good if you move the straps in about two inches or so.
I’m no help. I like them all. But here’s the order in which I like them. 3 2 1 4
Depends how formal you wanna go. My preference overall is #2, but if you’re going somewhere super formal then maybe 3
love 3 and 4!!!
2 is my favorite, but 3 looks good as well!
2
2
1 and 3 are too baggy on top, 2 is slightly too tight and 4 is just ugly.
3
Number 2
Second one is wow on you!
number 2
First one for sure. Very figure flattering
I love the third one with the second being close. Are you going to a formal?
Number 2
3! 2 is also very nice.
2. The bust area seems too large for you with #3.
Most definitely number 1, because It shows your curves and I’d definitely wear it because im 5’1 too. 2 and 3 is long, dress is not doing u any good in shape and afraid they might trip you over.
2 or 3. I would definitely pass on 1 and 4.
2 for sure!!!!
2!!!!
2
2!
1!
Not sure why everyone is disregarding the first but it was my immediate pick! Third is a close second choice
#2!
I think 2 is the most flattering on you, but I love number 4 it's very cute. But overall, 2 is a winner for sure
Second for sure. Third also looks good but halter neck are kind of an old style imo. Nothing wrong with that though.
2 for sureeeeee!!!!
I think 3 looks best on you.
Number three is more flattering than two, but two seems to be a little more unique in style, if that makes sense.
1
1 or 3. I personally like 1 for his sleek it looks and kinda modern. 3 gives me fairytale vibes.
2 for sure
All are beautiful on you but the third one is BOMB
1, without question
3
2
I really love the second dress, OP! That blue pares well with your skin tone imo.
The second one, by far!
#3 you just need hemming work done, I just the exposed shoulders on you, the cut is very flattering and you look so regal
#3, but #1 has a lot of potential if it was properly hemmed in my opinion
2
1 or 3
1 or 3
I like 1 or 3. Both are very flattering on your body, and I especially like the color of 1.
Two!
2
#2
Whatever you choose- definitely get it tailored
2
2!!
\#2! It fits your body better than the others and is very flattering on you :) The navy looks really pretty
Number three is gorgeous on you 💙
1- without necklace 4- with necklace
My money would buy this first one
2! 3 would work but needs alteration as the bust is too large.
3 is my fav, then 2
3 :)
I think numbers 2 and 3 are the most flattering! You have a great figure.
2 looks amazing on you! but it’s too long so be sure to get it altered
2
The blue one!
2 was made for you 🥰
1 or 3!
