Get The Look- Spencer Hastings

Continuing with the Pretty Little Liars prom, today we are looking at how to recreate mermaid Spencer.

This green velvet number can be styled in many ways to complement different shapes.  The actual dress Spencer is wearing would be great for an Hourglass as it hugs curves. However it looks amazing on her lean figure, creating a waist! Having the shoulders on show would be great for a pear lady.

Dress For Your Body Shape

Different body shapes suit different types of clothing. A certain style works well for one but another works for someone else.

So what is going to work best for you?


Pear-  People who have this shaped body are best off showing their upper body and waist. They also want to equal out the top of the body to the hips. 

Coats- Trench

Skirts- A line Skirt, knee length
Why?- It highlights the defined waist while skimming the hips.

Jeans-  Bootleg, dark colours
Why?- This style is very slimming on the legs and the colour will avoid attention at the biggest part of the body.

Tops- Fitted, bright colours, neck details and prints.
Why?- Draws attention to the smaller part of the body.

Dresses- Empire or Wrap.

Find Your Body Shape

Knowing your body shape is essential when finding clothes and feeling fabulous. It can be a challenge knowing exactly what shape you are. However with a little knowledge, you will easily be able to identify yourself and dress to impress.                                                                                           

The different body shapes are named after fruits/objects that represent how the body is formed. 

The Pear

The top section of the body is the smallest whilst the bottom is the largest, The waist is defined, shoulders are narrow with a small chest. Hips, thighs and bottom carry the most weight.

The Hourglass     

The shoulders and hips have equal width while the waist is small and defined.  Hips, thighs and bust are fuller as weight builds there.

The Apple

The body doesn’t have any particular defined features but the shoulders are broad, bust is full while hips are thinner.  The middle of the body holds the most weight. 

The Banana

The top and lower sections of the body are balanced but unlike an hourglass the waist is not defined.  Weight does not stick to one area, it is an even spread.
