Shop Your Hourglass Body Shape

BODY SHAPE: HOURGLASS
The hourglass body shape is characterized as relatively equal measurements in the bust and hips with a slimmer waist. This gives the body more of an hourglass vision.

CHARACTERISTICS
Relatively equal measurements in the bust and hips
Slimmer and more defined waist
Shoulders and bottom are rounder
Legs are likely fuller
Weight gain is distributed relatively evenly throughout the body

The hourglass body shape follows relatively equal measurements in the bust and hips with a smaller waist. The key to dressing this body shape is to follow its natural characteristics by evenly distributing weight on the top and bottom while defining the waist.

You do not want to take attention away from the waist by dressing too heavily above or below it. You want to maintain the natural silhouette as presented by an hourglass.
