I have a pear shape. I am 36, 34, 41 I am 5'9. I have big legs, nice arms, a little fat around my waist line. I would like to know what clothing compliments my body shape. I would like to accentuate not cover up. Thanks

Have you read Angie's blog entries for the pretty pear body type?

Posting pics in specific outfits or pieces you'd like feedback on is also helpful.

Try A-Line Skirts; Empire tops and empire or A-line dresses as a start. You want to create a waist. I am still learning, but our measurements are not too far off (I'm 5' 10", 36/32/39) and I find that those styles tend to work well. A good fitting boot cut jean (not a big flare at the bottom) will take you far. Make sure they are long enough to wear with a heel to slenderize the leg. Play up your arms and your upper body with open necks and vibrant colors. Keep things simpler and darker on the bottom half. Hope this helps.
