Me = Apple with a very thick middle (OK, no middle at all), short waisted, I stand 5 ft. tall, I am currently overweight. Oh yeah I must mention that I am the owner of a hugh set of breasts.
So buying clothes is an issue for me, I usually buy separates, but I love dresses. I tried on this absolutely gorgeous dress that I wanted to wear for my 51st birthday. I could not have picked a worst dress for my body type, I took two different sizes into the dressing room. Needless to say the dress was absolutely hideous on me, I almost cried in that store, I left empty handed.
So I went home and did some research on how to dress an apple figure, now I knew a lot of these tips but I had not been practicing what I knew to be true for my body type.
elongate my torso and draw attention away from my waist
empire waist or a dropped waist
no thick belts, choose a chain or sash belt slung low on my hips.
to emphasize my bust dresses with halter tops or a deep v
wrap dresses
to draw attention away from my bust and to balance a smaller lower body choose
a dress with an A-line skirt one to two inches above the knee
