THE HOURGLASS SHAPE



How do you know if
you have an Hourglass shape?



A person who has an hour glass shape has a full bust and bottom that is usually equally distributed. Their measurements are around 36/24/36, with a waist line around 9inches or less. Historically, a woman who had an hourglass shape was considered to be perfect. However, as time has shown, the modeling industries appear to be looking for more women without curves. DO NOT let this discourage you. Embrace your curves. The term "hour glass" suggests that your shape is identical to a coke bottle.  You can wear a variety of clothing that will bring out your greatest assests.




Dressing your shape!




WHAT TO WEAR!


Belts
  • When wearing an outfit, a belt (especially thick) can help emphasize the waist of a person who has an hourglass shape. Since your greatest assets are your curves, anytime you can shape the middle section of your body, you will make heads turn!
Wrap dresses and skirts
  • Wrap dresses and skirts can come in all different forms; long, short, and many colors. These particular type of dresses are wonderful because a wrap dress can tie around your waist, leaving your shape even more defined. If you are choosing to wear material that is closer to your face, you may need to decide the type of wrap around dress that is well suited for your complexion.
V-necks and other low necklines including "Halter Styles"
  • Always a wonderful idea!  V necks and low necklines give an hourglass figure an extra boost in all the right places. Since your curves are what makes your body special, then why not focus on an outfit that will turn heads. Depending on how comfortable you are and where you are going, you may need to be careful about how low is too low...
Strapless dresses
  • There is nothing sexier than an hourglass figure in a strapless dress. People who have this form, generally have a terrific build in the shoulders. Strapless dresses allow you to play around with your sexiness.
A-line skirts and pencil skirts
  • These particular types of skirts are more clingy than usual. A woman with voluptuous curves should learn to embrace them by wearing a skirt that is going to hug them in all of the right places.
Boot cut jeans; pants or jeans with flared bottoms
  • Since boot cut jeans have a high tendency to flare on the bottom, it can give a terrific illusion of having firmer and tighter legs and thighs. Sometimes curvy women can struggle with their curves not taking on the firm shape that they desire. Wearing boot cut jeans can solve this problem.
Shoes with heels
  • Heels give you the length that you desire. Depending on how tall or short you are, would determine what type of heels you may want to pick out. Just make sure that you are choosing shoes that are not damaging to your feet. Heels can be an amazing addition because it allows a person to lengthen. Sometimes hourglass figures have the tendency to appear shorter because of their amazing curves.
 A well-fitting bra
  • A bra that fits perfectly is a must! You will not do your curves justice if you accidentally get a bra that does not fit appropriately. In order to find your exact bra size, it is a great idea to walk into your local store, such as Victoria Secret, and have someone take your measurements. You can take your own measurements; however, it is easier and more accurate when you have a little extra help. After you have discovered what your bra size is, make sure you get a bra that supports you around the upper portion of your torso. The STRAPS SHOULD NOT BE WHERE MOST OF YOUR SUPPORT COMES FROM. Many women make this mistake and as a result, they end up with red lines and sores from their bra being an inappropriate size. If your bra is giving you pain or you look frumpy, this is a great indication that your bra is not the right size. Believe it or not, there is a whole science to shopping for the appropriate bra, that will be covered in another edition.  But for now, let's take a look at the gallery of fashion for the Hourglass figure....
