11. Name three necklines that do not suit a pear shaped woman
12. Name one neckline that suits all body shapes
13. Name one neckline that does not suit an hourglass figure
My answers:
1. It adds height and with the extra platform at the bottom, it can help widen where necessary and balance the leg and hip out for a proportionate shape.
2. Pleated front pants, because they can break up the leg and make them look wider so it is not ideal for pear shapes, apples, or hourglass which all have wider hips, so it will essentially make the hip look even wider.
3. Cropped trouser or cropped jeans
4. Pear shaped; because of the larger bottom, the bias cut lines will widen the bottom half even more, and the fact that it tapers towards the bottom as well will not help either.
5. An empire line is usually fitted at the bust and then flares out right below. It fits mostly all shapes, but be careful with the top heavy shapes because it could potentially draw to much attention to the large bust line and create disproportion. So, it will depend on the type of neckline there is to go with it.
6. The look of a drop waisted dress is essentially just a dress where the line hits more at the hips rather than the waist, so it makes the torso look longer. It would not suit a pear shaped woman because the horizontal line of where it stops will stop on her larger hips accentuating them and making them appear even larger so they should opt for a higher waisted dress to define the waist.
7. Yes, it can help define the waist for a slim, hourglass, and top heavy, and conceal the hips of a pear by just grazing over them and disguising the tummy of an apple.
8. Peplum top, because for an apple shape the peplum will help widen the hips to make it more balanced with the tummy and breasts, but for an hourglass it will accentuate the hips too much and could make her look like a pear shape.
9. It best suits a slender/athletic body shape, because if the shirt was too big and baggy it might swamp them, but if it is too tight then it will show the lack of waist and no definition. So, A perfect fitted t-shirt is the best choice to show off her body.
10. No. For an hourglass shape you want some type of embellishment on the shoulders to keep that perfect shape even with the hips. For a pear shape, you also want some detail or structure on the shoulders to help balance out the hips. For a top-heavy shape, it might be too tight and bring out the top heaviness even more. As for an apple shape, it depends, they are blessed with small arms so there is not problem there, but everyone’s apple shape is different and will depend on your client.
11. Mandarin, strapless, and plunge are all types that will not suit a pear shape because they all do nothing for the breasts and shoulders which need to be widened a bit to balance with the bottom half.
12. A sweetheart neckline will suit all body types to help enhance or flatter the bust for all types, and it is a wider neckline so it will not make anything appear smaller for pears, slim, and hourglass, so they can keep in proportion.
13. Vest narrow. It will make her look disproportioned to her hips.
I hope you all enjoy and if there are any questions just ask!
