If you're reading this, you're probably still searching for a holiday outfit. Luckily, there's still time for a flattering holiday dress to arrive on your doorstep before the festivities kick off. Instead of wasting time sifting through endless items, we did the work for you to find the best holiday dresses for pear-shaped bodies.
The key to accentuating pear-shaped figures is selecting a balancing silhouette, one that keeps the attention on you as a whole rather than your upper or lower half. Some of the top designs for pear-shapes include A-line, wrap, tulip and empire-waist dresses. Our list of dresses is separated by silhouette, so you can find the one which best matches your style. Whatever you pick, you're sure to strut into the function feeling your most confident!
