Petite plus size...that would be me. I do love the shirt. My problem is that when I find something that I can button across my chest, it's too big somewhere else...especially sleeves. Everything I buy needs to be altered and that's not cheap.
I would love to be able to do this! I used to sew my own clothes back when I was a stay-at-home mom for a couple of years. These days, there aren't enough hours in the week to alter my attitude, much less my clothes.
However, I will bookmark this, in the event the time becomes available. Thanks!

I have to say that I absolutely DETEST the term "pear-shaped".
Call me bottom-heavy, voluptuous, curvy, large-derriere'd, got too much junk in the trunk, ANYTHING but "pear-shaped" because I don't think my body resembles a pear, at all. (Maybe, if I had A-cup breasts and wore size 20 jeans...!)
As a guy, I always loved women with small breasts and large derrieres. For those of you familiar with adult entertainment, think "Buttman" series from years back.
As a transwoman I am still very much attracted to women with junk in the trunk, as-long-as they have junk everywhere else. Tonight my wife, son and I went to a co-worker's (her place of employment) house for a chili get-together.
There were some cute babes (and maybe one or two charismatic older gents, lol) there, and IMO the hottest one was her co-worker. LOTS of junk in the trunk, and a little overweight in others areas, but that girl wears her weight well. I about passed out when the girl was leaning over the back of the couch, on all four's, looking out the window for her son. I mean, she was really putting that butt out there, lol. I'm SURE she was doing a little of this for show.
Soon here I'm going to take my body measurements again (I'm slim-to-average), to see what (if any) effects have taken place with HRT. I have a feeling, just by looking in the mirror, that I'm going to get some nicely added weight down there. Guys love that stuff! Wouldn't that make me a pear?

I have a petite frame, large chest, narrow shoulders, a defnined wasit with extra weight around my mid section. If/when I gain weight, I gain it all over.
The fashion issue is balance. Those of us who have this type of figure struggle with how find ways that will compliment our figures, not cover them up.
Try tops that allow you to wrap around your midsection
this type of shirt will give you the room you need around you mid-section (subtly creating a little waist) , without taking away from the accentuating you want around your breast area (notice the v-neck? )
Topping it off with slightly above the knee-length skirt for more of a visual effect or (if you aren't happy with your legs) try a boot cut or flared legged pant (this is especially good for the petite plus size woman, IMO)
whatever your choice
if your booty-less....make sure there are pockets (the kind with the flaps) on the back.
I'm sorry, but that top is just butt-ugly!!!!!! It looks like something a medical tech would wear. I wouldnt be caught dead in it.
Peanut, btw........
