At Pear Collections we pride ourselves on offering styles for all Pear Shaped women; no matter their size. That is why we offer our styles from size 4 to size 24.

Stereo-typically, when most people hear ‘Pear Shaped’ their mind automatically turns to beautiful full-figured tall and curvy women that have made this body type famous. However, there is a lesser-known demographic that equally has difficulty finding clothes that fit them. Yes, I’m talking about you ladies, all the Petite Pears out there.

As a Petite Pear, you still have narrow shoulders, a defined waist and curvy hips which give you a fantastically feminine silhouette. One thing that is also very typical for us Petite Pears (yes, I am one as well!); we are typically short. Some famous Petite Pears include Rachel Bilson (5’2”), Shakira (5’2”) and famously Kim Kardashian (5’3”). Fun fact, I am only 5’4” as well!

At Pear, we believe that each body has its own unique treats and everyone everybody is beautiful. This includes both our petite and plus size ladies.

For Petite Pears, we suggest that you dress your body with a high focus on your best asset; your defined waistline. When looking for clothes, your goal should be to create an hourglass-like silhouette through the following techniques:

• Balancing your narrow/sloping shoulders
• Drawing attention to your narrow waistline
