Fantasy looking Suits or Dresses for Hourglass Body Figure

Written on August 23, 2008 – 2:11 am | by dodo

Here we have men’s ultimate fantasy figure and the one that’s envied by many women. But the Hourglass shape also has its challenges, as those who have it well know. For example, it is very difficult to find professional looking suits or dresses for this body shape.

From the front and side profiles you see curves. The shoulder line is soft, the waist defined, the hips rounded, the bottom and bust pronounced (not necessarily large) and curved. Both Paula Yates and Dolly Parton have Hourglass shapes.

The Hourglass must be careful with both design and fabric. The cut of her clothes needs to be soft, gathered and eased. She should avoid set-in sleeves (unless in a soft fabric) and opt instead for gathered, raglan or eased shapes. The lapels of jackets should not be sharp but rounded, such as a shawl collar. Her necklines are draped, round, crossover, or ruffled. Her pleats are soft, not crisp.

She must accentuate the waist — which is at least 10 inches (25 cm) smaller than the hips. If she doesn’t, she will look larger than she is. Her waistlines will always be eased, as her hips are curved. Straight darts or restricted waistlines will make her look fat.

The full-busted Hourglass should beware of loose, baggy tops which can make her look frumpy and larger than she really is.

Like her Curved Pear and Rounded counterparts, the Hourglass selects soft designs such as florals, polka dots, paisleys and soft abstracts. These are far more flattering over her curves than stripes or plaids.
