As I said, I am big on top and small on the bottom, which you don't often see (usually it's girls with small top halves and big bums/hips/thighs).

Although I have average size boobs, I'm a size 18 on top and a size 14/16 on the bottom. My legs, calves and ankles are reasonably slimmer than my top half and it's noticeable depending on what I wear.
I hate my broad shoulders and just want to cover up all the time.
Does anybody have any good fashion advice on what I can wear in order to make myself appear more proportioned?

My shape is simalar to yours. i sometimes wear a top with a chunky belt round my waist. It makes it seem like I am slimmer on the top. you could always try a Maxi dress whats in Fashion at the moment.
Try Goks style consultation, good fun. Input your body details and find what suits your shape best.

Corsets.

These are amazing, expecially for pear-shapes with little boob (I'm in the same boat). They'll hoik them up to about chin height, so top-heavyness appears to come from boobs, not broadness. Also, you'll get a slimmer waist, that WILL turn heads, and drive attention away from shoulders. A proper one won't hurt, only a badly-made ill-fitting one; you'll get good posture to boot.

If you want one, I do advise you get one tailor-made, but be warned, this can be expensive, so if you do want one, save up. And don't be tempted by the cheap mass-produced ones as they're a waste of money.

Away from corsets, I would advise to avoid anything attention-grabbing up top, and save it for lower down (eg belts). If you like skirts, get a poofy one that finishes about knee to mid-calf, it'll balance you out, and showing slim legs will help avoid looking like a blimp (as I would, because I'm not blessed with slim calves ^^; )
