The apple shape figure consists of the middle part of the body being fairly round, with no definition to the waist line. Most of the body’s weight is carried above the waist in the form of big breasts and generally quite a noticeable tummy. The tummy can be the most frustrating part of the apple figure when trying to buy clothes.
You are best to stay away from any clothing that clings, as this will only draw attention to the larger areas of your body. Simple, tailored clothing in dark colours and flowing fabrics is ideal for this figure. This helps to lengthen the body and prevent it from looking short and squashed. The aim is to draw attention away from the apple-like figure, which can be achieved with short skirts and dresses, to emphasise great legs. Try to avoid anything that gathers in at the waist and choose something more straight and flat.
An ideal dress for this figure would be an empire line dress, as they aren’t tight on a big waist. A dress that has a v neck top to show off a full cleavage with a skirt that flares out can also be very flattering, as long as it has nothing tight around the waist to cut the body in half. Here is a fabulous dress to suit this figure from the Zeleb collection:
