How To Go From a Pear Shape to and Hourglass

I've been in the market for a little black dress with sex and sizzle. I'm not quite the Audrey type - I'm more of a Jessica Rabbit meets Maria Felix girl. I like vavoom with class. But with a pear shape like mine, it's hard to find a black dress that meets all of my multiple shape needs.

But I think I have struck gold with this little darling by Stop Staring over at Unique-Vintage.com. She's got a low V-neck with elegant gathering to create a bit of illusion in the lacking bust area, flutter sleeves to draw attention up and make my shoulders appear a bit broader. Her waist is cinched and tiny. It's the one good part I've got - I'm flaunting it. Her hips are sleek because I definitely don't need illusion there, and her flirty pleats balance out the top. This unproportioned pear becomes and hour glass in an instant.

What a fabulous dress. I think it would look great on any figure. I am sure you will look stunning.

Thanks Beckie (or Jamie, not sure which one this is!). I hope so. It is a pretty killer dress.
