My measurements are 33/26/38 how do I dress for my body shape? (Pic included)

[Itsnotlikeme]

Have been seeing a personal trainer and have lost loads of weight off my top half and top part of my waist.

My tummy is still stubbornly sticking out and my bottom is like a shelf. My trainer said that's tending towards my natural shape
.

I am tired of wearing skirts and dresses that flare at the waist and really loved the blue dress Kate Middleton wore stepping off the plane in Canada last week.

Any ideas of flattering but not obvious pear shaped styles would be appreciated please!

No clue sorry but you have a lovely shape and well done on the weight loss. I love those shape of skirts and dresses. You have a tiny waist. Loads of squats and Pilates for toning and pulling in??

You have a beautiful figure, you really need to show off that waist!

Skater dresses. Fit and flare. Anything belted. Circular skirts with fitted tops.

You have one of them, love dip in waists. You should really show that off
Also nice pair of boobs, maybe draw attention to there too.

I'm not sure what things to recommend you wear, I'm not overly fashionable these days but I hope some knowledgeable person comes along.

Watching with interest as I'm a very similar shape, just a -much- larger bum and slightly bigger boobs. Well done on the weight loss op!

Wear lots of tight dresses, you have an amazing figure.

I'm exactly the same measurements as you and I'm also 6ft tall. It's hard to find shirts and trousers that fit my figure, they're all usually a combination of tight or baggy in all the wrong places.

I mainly wear 3/4 length baggy trousers with elasticated waist, and a loose fitting shirt with a belt around my waist if I'm wearing shirt and trousers. Dresses I wear usually knee length baggy dresses with a belt around my waist to give them shape. Skirts usually ones that flair tbh. What you're wearing in the pic looks great.

You can totally wear that Kate style dress. You just need good smoothing underwear. I don't mean the suck them in type, but something that will give you a good outline. Holly Willoughby often wears those style dresses, so have a look st where her This Morning outfits are from as they tend to be high street. I have a dip in waist (but I'm more hour glass) and tend to find something that has a stretch, and a slightly thicker material works better and I try to wear them on the tight side but will go up a size so that something skims. Slightly loose, wrinkes around the middle, which makes me look bigger. Equally so does a dress that rides up. ASOS bodycon fit dresses tend to be good for me (Not the clubbing length ones tho!)

I'm almost identical measurements!

Pencil dresses should work well - look for seams or detail to define the waist. I often wear a belt if necessary. Most of my dresses are "Kate Middleton" style.

Casual clothes are much harder. Apart from dresses I have to be very careful where tops end/bottoms begin as the wrong place makes me look fat.

Thanks all - sorry forgot to check back

Some really lovely comments and I must go off and check Asos now

I have this figure ,it's a pain in the arse.. will be back later.

Not sure if you noticed OP but on your second picture you can see other pictures from your camera roll, not sure if you want it deleted!

I'm not too dissimilar to you, although larger bust: 36-27-38. Agree with previous posters that you need to emphasize your waist. It can get boring to do that with every outfit but it undoubtedly looks better.

In your case, as you have a distinctly smaller bust than hips, I recommend trying to add emphasis to your top half e.g. prints, brighter colors, patterns, texture such as satin/silk/sequins/beading/ruffles/embroidery/anything that's a detail that draws the eye. Also things that will add visual width across the shoulders such as sleeves in contrasting fabric to the main torso fabric.

This is all assuming that what you want is to create an hourglass appearance through your clothes which is supposedly the goal we're all meant to have (according to the fashion gods.)

One book which is amazing for understanding body types and dressing them - and I've read a lot of these - is the Pocket Stylist. It's American but I found it on Amazon UK for only a quid used. It came out ten years ago but the advice still holds.

You have a similar shape to me, big in the hips and quite long body. I like fit and flare, skater dresses. Anything with a waist, belt jumpers and cardigans

Are you pear shaped?
