Pear shape, What is flattering
I am shaped like a pear. like an Oompah Loompah.
I am small on top. Almost flat chested (thanks to pumping for my last child)
And I have hips and Huge thighs and saddle bags.
I have two parties coming up. One is my son's Christening and the other is my cousin's son's Christening and my DH is the Godfather.
I don't know how to dress my body. I am extremely self conscious. Extremely. I hate shopping and think everything looks terrible.
I'm also having trouble finding something age appropriate. I'm 37 years old but feel like things are for either my grandmother or a 22 year old.
Sorry this was so long.
Any suggestions on styles to try or styles to stay away from?

Re: Pear shape, What is flattering
You by no means look like an Oompah Loompah my dear. You have a beautiful body. The grass is always greener, I hate these big boobs having children has given me. I would go with something like an A-line dress that accentuates your upper body. Believe it or not I've found some cute dresses online at Kohls. This way I can ask others opinions and just return what I don't like.

I agree with an A-line skirt or dress. Also wrap dresses are very flattering and forgiving.
And please...stop referring to yourself as an Oompah Lompah. There is no such thing

I have had a lot of luck at Dress Barn. They actually make clothes for real women's bodies. I have found luck with dresses that have a lot of ruching. And they have that there. I got my dresses for both christenings there. GL!

A lot has changed since the last time you saw me.
I went from hard core bootcamp 5 days a week to sitting in a chair at home all day and night. And eating very poorly.
My body has changed a lot. :(
So now I need new clothes to fit this body. I'm just concerned about these two parties right now.
I don't really leave the house much these days so I don't care about how I look on a daily basis.

And fo stores I suggest places like Ann Taylor, Loft, NY & Company. Stay away from younger type stores and I also stay away from Dept stores unless they have some good lines of designers.
