Ive heard the terms “apple” and “pear” applied to body types. What does that mean?
An “Apple” carries more of her weight at and around the waist and above. A “Pear” carries more weight in the hips and thighs. Apple shaped plus size women will look for more room in the shoulders, bust and, perhaps, straighter styles. Pear shaped women will seek out a-line or swing styles that provide extra room in the hip area.
