And your bust and mid-riff might appear bigger than your hips. It is also known as 'oval' and 'round'.

The first step is to try and create some curves in the waist area; this can be accomplished by a variety of different ways. Wide stretch fit belts over your tops or dresses will create some dimension at your mid-section. Also another popular tactic is shirts or dresses with an empire waist they will flare out over your hips added some need volume on your lower half.
Recommended also is colors and patterns on the bottom. So, skirts with cool funky prints will give the illusion of a fuller bottom if worn with a solid color top which in turn will balance out the overall shape.

A few more tips and tricks; flared out pants like bell-bottom jeans will also help balance out the look if as you keep things light on the top. For example, you can wear a sleeveless top with a low neck line and then your favourite pair of boot-cut or bell-bottom jeans.
