I found a chart in a magazine and had cut it out to use when I go into a bridal shop. It shows different types of dress styles and describes what style is best for each body shape. It says for curvy/pear shaped women either a princess, A-line, or ball gown compliments our shapes best. The dress you like, looks like it's a ball gown. But really, no one can say it'll be good for you until you try it on. I went into David's Bridal with a specific dress in mind, but it ended up looking like crap on me lol. The dress that looked best on me and made me look the skinniest was a halter A-line ~ and I origionally never considered that style dress. So, you never know. And for all you curvy women out there, don't let the dress size freak you out, because they do run bigger. They ask you what your jean size is, and I'm usually an 18. But in dress sizes, that's usually a 22. And I even had to try on some dresses in a 24! It is a big blow at first, but just remember that it's the dress maker's fault lol.
