Pear Shape ~ Styles that suit a slim waistline and larger hips by Lindsey Brown

Peplum hem

Perfect for petite heights and pear shaped hips as the peplum hemline covers the bottom and gently flares out in the light weight floaty silk.

Maxi Elasticated

The soft elastic of the maxi kaftans sits on your natural waist, the maxi skirt skims pear shaped hips and legs to create a long silhouette.

Tiered Dresses

The tiered hemline of our cotton dresses kick out gently to create shape and enhance hourglass figure when worn with the matching belt.

Fitted Waist Dresses

Our dresses with fitted waists are perfect for smaller hourglass waists and larger hips as the floaty skirt drapes beautifully in silk chiffon.

Curved Hemline

Our curved hemlines drape beautifully and the curved hemline glides over hips, which avoids defining the body into blocks.

The pear-shaped body is beautifully defined by a narrower upper body and a fuller lower half, with hips that are noticeably wider than the waist and bust. This feminine silhouette benefits from our silk resort wear styles that highlight the waist while offering elegant coverage over the hips and thighs. At Lindsey Brown luxury resort wear, our designs are thoughtfully created to flatter pear-shaped figures, in our floaty and fluid dresses and beach cover ups. Fitted dresses and belted beach dresses are perfect for drawing attention to the slim waist, creating a balanced and flattering silhouette.

Styles we suggest : Daytime, wear your beach dresses loose and floaty in the warm sunshine. For lunch and to feel dressed for your luxury resort, add the matching cotton belt to cinch in the waistline. These styles gently shape the body while allowing for freedom of movement, ideal for warm-weather destinations. Our floaty silk beach cover-ups with curved hemlines are another beautiful option, as the soft drape skims over the hips without clinging, creating an elegant line that elongates the legs and flatters the lower body. For a more relaxed yet refined look, our silk maxi kaftans with subtle shaping at the waist offer the perfect balance of comfort and style. The gentle definition at the waist complements a pear shape effortlessly, while the flowing fabric adds lightness and grace. With Lindsey Brown’s resort wear, pear-shaped figures feel fabulous in our resort wear as the shapes do not overwhelm a smaller upper frame.
