If you've been reading the other body types' articles, you'll know by now to avoid patterns that go across. Baggy pants will eliminate curves, as will jackets that end on the butt. High necklines and shorter skirts throw curves out of balance.
A pinch at the midsection emphasizes a small waist. Dresses and tops that cross over chest are good for larger busts. V-necks and scoop necks too. Wrap tops and tie/belted waist tops show the evenness of curves. Single piece outfits don't break up a figure. Straight leg/slightly flared pants make legs look good.
Well Hourglass, I'll admit. I'm jealous of you. A review...

Hannah,
ReplyDeleteOnly 8% of women are hourglasses? And I'm in that 8 percent? Hurray! :) I hate my body though, so I have an irregular hourglass apparently!

Also, what is the most common body type?
ReplyDeleteThe most common is the banana body type, at 46%. Following is pear at 20% and apple at 14%. I wouldn't say you have an hourglass actually.
DeleteWhat would you say I am then? I'M A TOTAL HOURGLASS! :) I have a tiny waist, curvy hips, the thighs of an hourglass, and a pear bust.
