The pear and apple shape are like distant cousins. Like the apple, the pear body shape draws attention to the upper part of the body, however, it is the hips and thighs that are wider.

The best way to dress your apple frame is to dress for the waist up. You want to shift emphasis off your hips and to your waist and bust.
