pear-shaped body
Bottom-heavy figure type
A pear-shaped body carries more weight in the hips, thighs, and buttocks than in the upper body, resembling the fruit's silhouette—narrow at top, wider below.
The term appears in fashion and fitness contexts to describe this common body type: Pear-shaped bodies look great in A-line skirts.
The phrase is descriptive rather than pejorative.
