Dresses for the Hourglass figure

The Hourglass figure looks great in dresses. The wright dress can highlight the waist showing off that sexy S shape. However there are few things to remember when shopping for the perfect dress.
   Pick a style that skims your body and nips in at the waist.
  Simple styles are best. As I've said before you don't want to throw off your proportions.
  Wrap, sheath, and A-line dresses look great because they follow your curves.
   Try dresses cut on the bias they will skim your shapely body.
   Try a shirt-dress accessorized with a wide belt to emphasize your Hourglass figure.
  Avoid boxy shapes such as trapeze dresses.
  Strapless is not a good look when you have a full bust. The girls need support. (I know mine do). You can't get support with strapless unless you are under a C cup. 
   Avoid over-sized prints which will hide your curves, instead keep prints subtle or wear solid colored items.
 A fun thing I like to do is to play with color. Try mixing different complimentary colored pieces together to add interest. For example I love the way turquoise looks with butter yellow so I will wear a yellow dress with a bold turquoise necklace.

Tops and Jackets for the hourglass figure

The Hourglass figure has long been considered the ideal shape due to the balance between hips and bust. It is however easy to throw off that Hourglass balance and end up looking big and boxy.  So here are some tips for tops and jackets that flatter your Hourglass Figure.

·      

• Surplice necklines show off your lovely cleavage.
• Wide V-necks and scoop necks will extend your small rounded shoulders while flattering your bust.
  ·
• Sleeves should be capped, puffed or flutter sleeves if you have a smaller shoulder line.
• Make sure your clothes are fitted. Look for details such as Darts, Princess Seams, and Ruching at the waist. Avoid boxy looks
• Wrap tops follow the line of your body and therefore highlight your curves.
• Jackets should button just below the bust to give your bust some support.
• A fitted coat in a solid shade elongates your curvaceous figure
• Your tops and jackets should be nipped in at the waist to show off your Hourglass shape
• Wear belts to further emphasize your figure.
