Shopping for the perfect jumpsuit when you're pear-shaped doesn't have to be daunting. In this blog post, we will share five essential tips to guide you in your journey of finding the ideal jumpsuit for curvy body that balances, harmonizes, and celebrates your fantastic pear silhouette. Let's dive in!

For years I wouldn’t buy jumpsuits because I always thought they didn’t look good on girls with hips and a booty. It took me a while to figure out these 5 important factors to think about so that I didn’t have to stand on the side lines anymore. I too could look like a boss in a jumpsuit just like all the tall skinny girls around me! You can too!

1. Size

Just because you can wear a size small top doesn’t mean your jumpsuit should be that size. You need to size for the bottom half first and worry about the top second. If you are wearing it too small on the bottom it will bunch up and never sit right. You can later adjust the the top of your jumpsuit to better fit you by alternations giving you a better structured definition to fit your shape.

2. Straps

Adjustable Straps are your friend! If you went up a size on the bottom the straps being adjustable will help you maneuver the top to fit you just right. Halter tops like the one I am wearing in the photos below are also so flattering and have beautiful necklines as well. However, if your jumpsuit isn't adjustable, don’t be afraid you head to your local seamstress and get the straps and everything else you need taken in to fit you correctly. This will be the difference between an okay outfit and an outfit that looks like it was made for you!

3.Length

Speaking of adjusting, make sure the bottom half lies right. If your pants are too long they will bunch up on the bottom and make you look even shorter instead of giving you a long lean look that a jumpsuit should give. This attention to detailing makes sure your jumpsuit has the right fit that will be an even more flattering streamlined look for your beautiful shape.

4. Material

The material will make all the difference for you apple bottom girls! Something with a little stretch is perfect in this case. Just like the jumpsuit above! Even though it's denim it stretches to fit your body better. Again, be careful not to get anything too tight with stretch or it won't look flattering either. If you end up getting anything light weight be sure they have an underlining as well, you don’t want any peekaboos. Another great material I love is linen or silk it lays soft and gives a great aesthetic.

5. Waist

When it comes to curves, accentuating them correctly can take you from looking like you're wearing a potato sack to looking like your favorite celebrities walking the runway. Finding a jumpsuit that accentuates your waistline will help give you go from a rectangle shape to that sexy hourglass shape. Helpful hint, ff you found one that doesn’t accentuate your waistline adding a belt will help draw it in and give the perfect balanced hourglass shape.
