    High-waisted

    This dazzling sequin number gives a slimming effect and adds  a more balanced shape to your bod, thanks to the empire waistline.

    Take the plunge

    Apple-shaped girls tend to be more top-heavy, so go for a plunging cut to show off your neckline. Frilly details like ruffles or lace, are cutesy ways to draw eyes up! Add a pretty bow belt at your waist if you want something more form-fitted.

    Drop-waist darling

    A drop-waist dress skims the waistline and hits around the hipbones. This girly chiffon dress is chic yet casual—perfect for your BFF’s bash.

    Turn heads in a tunic dress

    Strut your stuff in a tunic dress that hits above the knee. Long sleeves and the neutral hue make it a little more posh. Add cute pumps!

    Bow tied

    A babydoll dress with a loose skirt gives more shape to your narrow bottom. A subtle embellishment—like a bow at the waist—is totally figure-flattering. Love the sweetheart neckline.

What body shape am I? I have a 34 inch chest,28 inch waist,33 inch hips,and I'm 5'2. What body shape am I? And please reply,no one ever replies to me!




Hey Doll,

Your chest and hips are pretty close, and your waist is smaller, so that makes you an hourglass shape! Check out these dresses perf for your shape!

What exactly is an apple shape? I don't think I am one though. While we're on the topic, I have a small waist and am 5'3". I would think I have average sized breasts, so I don't have much curves. I think I am a ruler or pear shape.




Hey girlie,

Pear shapes have larger hips than chests - so if your hips are small and everything else is "normal" too, you're probably a ruler. But if your waist is small enough to create a defined waist compared to your chest/hips, you could also be hourglass! And since you're on the shorter side right now, you could fit into the "petite" category too.




An apple shaped girl has thin legs, while her torso/arms are a bit curvier/bigger. They're not as common as hourglass, ruler, and pear shapes, but still exist! Smile

These models are apple shaped? They seem too skinny and perfect. I hate how for these body types, they're almost always skinny girls who are perfect looking. Society these days.........

NONE OF THESE GIRLS ARE APPLE SHAPED! If anything, theyre rulers. GL does this every time, even in the magazines. They all have the same body type, despite which "type" they put them under. All of them have virtually no flab at all, ong legs, thin arms, and a cruved bottom. the only differences you guys ever put are the bust sizes. Please try to make a change and put the REAL models in, not the celery shaped ones.

what kinda thing do i wear to a hockey game with my crush?
and how do i make a tanktop work in the fall?

 

Slip a cardigan on over it! Hm, for a hockey game, definitely go casual.  At this kind of place, you're just going to hang out, relax, and scream for your team, so basic jeans, boots and a tee!
