give this one a try! click on the link below.....i'm not the most shapely of folks and this one really helped create one:) in general, I'd say that a dress with enough on top to balance you out would be helpful. (ie straps, halter, cap sleeves) Corset-style is also nice as it can help creat more of a waist. and as always, try the Spanx out.......i wasn't a believer until i tried one on, and yes, you can be comfortable in one- good luck! if you want, i can send a pic to you (i tried posting one, not the most computer-savvy of folks;)

My hips run larger than the rest of me, so I opted for an off the shoulder A-line. I can't seem to post pics either, but this is a close look-a-like

I didn't have a line beneath the chest though.
Or this one, but sans sparkly things and purple:
empire waist- best bodice for YOUR chest and neckline and A line with or without princess seams... I personally look better in a sweetheart neckline or a deep V (but not hookerish) but not a Halter- the straps are too close to the head and broaden my shoulders... I look hideous with the straight across strapless or a square/boxed style with straps. I'll post pics later tonight!
nkang, I am definitely pear-shaped and that's my dress (with a champagne sash)!
Stay far away from trumpet/mermaid silhouettes. I have never looked like I had bigger hips IN MY LIFE.

Hi there!
What is the most flattering dress style for a bride with a pear shape?
I'd love to see pics if you have them!
Thanks so much!
