- Larger Bust than Hip
- Often Flatter Bottoms
Style Advice
Fabrics
- Stick to tightly woven fabrics.
- Simple prints and monotone colors are great on top.
Jackets & Tops
- Shawl collars on gently shaped jackets flatter immensely.
- Single-button, fitted styles that flare at the hip look great.
- A simple "Chanel-style" jacket with hip-patch pockets and straight princess seams flatters your shape beautifully.
- Peplum jackets fill out a thin hip area.
Necklines
- Deep-V, surplice and buttoned necklines lengthen the lines and create a sleek look.
- Wide, open necklines are very sensuous, if not too revealing.
- Mandarin collars promote visual interest without too much detail.
- Open-neckline tops with little to no detailing are best. Detail and trim are most flattering on your hip and hemlines.
Skirts & Dresses
- Gathered, pleated and paneled skirts shape your narrow hips to add balance that flatters your figure.
- Wide-yoke band styles with un-sewn pleats are very flattering.
- Vertical flouncing on a skirt fills out the hips, and the deep flounce at the bottom balances your upper body.
- High waists and wide waistbands are generally unflattering. You don't want your breasts to seem like they're propped up on something.
- A deep V-neck sheath with reverse princess seams widens the hip area while shaping the bust beautifully. Multiple flounces at the bottom are a wonderful counterbalance.
Pants
- Wide-leg or boot-cut pants balance out the upper half.
- Cuffs and pleats can be great on long legs for added curves.
- Wide-leg trousers really create proportion between the bust and hips.
Trims & Details
- Keep pleats, gathering and pocket details confined to the hips where you need a little extra fullness.
- Large patch pockets, sleeve cuffs and back vents widen the hip area, while princess seams and lapels smooth out the bust.
Try a wide yoked waist or princess seaming to shape your waist and hips, or a sheath with a deep V-neckline that lengthens and flaunts your curvaceous decolletage.
