Got a pear shaped body? Here’s how to make the most of it

January 21, 2017

This article was written for Annabel & Grace, which is now part of Rest Less.

Body shape changes with age and generally speaking women are a neat hourglass in their 20s, full hourglass in their 30s and apple in their 50s. If your hips and backside are wider than your shoulders, you’re the lucky owner of a pear shaped body. Pear shaped bodies typically have a smaller bust line as well. The Pear is the star of our latest vlog. Style expert, Helen Venables, who is the MD of House of Colour, gives us the benefit of her experience on how to make the very best of a pear shape figure.
