The body pear type is when your hips are larger than your bust and your waist is well defined. With a pear body type your waist is your best asset. Your goal would be to draw the attention away from your hips and towards your bust and shoulders. This create a balance between the top and bottom part of your body. I recommend a dress with a fitted open neck or strapless top and full or A-line skirt to a wider hip. Find dresses whose details are focused on the bust and shoulders. Such as one shoulder, off the shoulder, sweetheart or empire waist prom dresses can be flattering on you. Do you should avoid the mermaid trumpet and sheath dresses.
For hourglass body types, their bust and hips are well balanced, your upper body is balanced with the length of your legs and you have small waist. Your goal is to maintain the balance and show off those sexy curves while accentuating your awesome waist, which is usually a well-defined waist. Your best dresses would be a natural waistlines form fitted tops, v-necklines, open necklines, accentuated waistlines and wrap dresses will all look great. You should avoid baggy or sheath dresses.
