My birthday is coming up and my boyfriend wants to take me out. I've recently lost weight So know I'm seeing more of a pear shape body. And I need advice on which dress would look good. Thank you girls!

You want something busier on the top and simpler on the top if your trying to hide your pear shape but I'd say show off the shape you have!

I agree with brittani...maybe color on top or a bit of frill or jeweling at the bust to accentuate your top half and a black or darker solid bottom to slim the bottom. Also spanks do wonders for shaping. I'm also slightly pear shaped. Torrid and Maurice's both have great options if your anywhere from a size 12-28.

something a little bit shorter if your comfortable wearing it. Also on the top try a mini dress that ties around your neck and has a v neck shape. You have a nice tan so go with something lighter. Maybe white. White would make your skin glow. You should show off your shoulders diffidently. Have a happy birthday btw!!!

Fitted on top and a slight flare on bottom. Very pretty! Keep It shorter a few inches above knees.

If your trying to hide your bum, go with something A-Line- but i your boyfriend prefers butts over boobs, and you're happy with your body, embrace it! You've lost weight, thats great! Wear something tighter, or whatever makes you feel beautiful, despite your shape :)

Go for it! There is no harm in window shopping for an hour lol. A romper would look good with tighs and black booties. Get maybe a black one with a belt.

And you can hide love handles with a bigger belt. You can find a turtle neck dress at forever 21. I know they have cute ones during winter. Fredericksofhollywood.com has a lot of sexy things. Here is one dress that will hide anything you don't want to show http://www.fredericks.com/Multi-Way_Convertible_Dress/21751,default,pd.html?cgid=dr13&. .They have sweater dresses too.. What ever you wear, wear it with pride and have fun!!
