Pear shape is probably the most common of female body shapes. You've got hips and a booty for days with a tiny waist, and your chest/shoulders tend to be narrow, not necessarily small. The distinguishing feature to a pear shape is the width of your thighs compared to your hips. If your thighs are wider than your hips you are a pear shape. To create the illusion of an hourglass you want to emphasize your small waist and add volume to your shoulders.
Wear this to broaden your shoulders:
Boatneck tops
Slashed neck tops
Sleeves with ruffles or other embellishments
Well-cut structured jackets (preferably cropped)
Wear this to soften your hips:
A-line skirts
Maxi skirts
Sheath dress
Flared jeans (slim flare)
Flat front wide leg trousers
Belted A-line coat
Wear this to elongate your body:
Off the shoulder fit-and-flare dress
Tea length skirt or dress
Pointy toe shoes
