The pear shaped woman has a bigger waistline, as compared to a smaller upper body. This is most commonly found in women. Wider hips can be concealed by A-line plus size bridal gown that have ample flair flowing and concealing the width of the hips.

An apple shaped body, where the bust line is bigger than the waist line will look better in plus size bridal gowns with V-necklines. This however should be avoided if you have a pear shaped body.

A paunch needs to be concealed too. A gathered smock sweep along the midriff can
mask this flaw.
