My instincts tell me that "pears" with big busts and even bigger hips (such as Kim Kardashian), are completely different creatures than "pears" with very small busts and only somewhat big hips (such as Trinny Woodall, and myself). Trinny, from UK What not to Wear, feels that the latter kind of pear should not wear pencil skirts, period. Mostly I agree with her assessment, but most other stylist doggedly insist that tapered pencil skirts are a great look for pear shaped women. On the other hand, most stylists don't make a distinction between women like Beyonce, and smaller busted pears like myself. Long story short, should I even try to wear a pencil skirt, or should I stick to the tried and true a line styles.
