The BUM!!! Ladies your lower figure is lovely because a rounder posterior implies fertility, the term birthing hips hold true.

First rule to dressing all Body Types is to never accessorize and embellish the fullest part of your body. For the lower figure that means choosing pants and skirts that will de-emphasize your fullest "asset". Look for pants that are flat-front and have a straight leg. Avoid high waisted trousers that sit above the navel and lower rise trousers that don't reach your tiny waist. I know it is hard but TRY EVERY PAIR OF PANTS ON!
Rule two, look for skirts that fit the hips then continue straight down. Bias-cut, A-line,wrap, fit-and-flare, and straight styles are all“go’s”. Pencil shapes or full pleats are “no’s” as they highlight imbalance.
Rule three is to look for balance between your top and bottom the best way to do that is to choose tops that have bold colors, big patterns, and special details. Look to build up your petite top to help balance your Ample Bottom.
Rule four, dresses are great! Look for dresses that have an A-Line skirt as they will balance and create the illusion of an hour glass figure. Look for Dresses with embellishment and detail towards the top but not the bottom.
