Dressing for Your Unique Body Type: Hour Glass

Alright you lucky lucky ladies who get to claim that you have an hour glass figure, it's your turn! If you have bigger boobs, a tiny waist, and a booty with hips then you are among a very elite club of incredibly beautiful women who are praised for their beautiful shape. However, no matter how much your body type is praised you are most likely still having trouble dressing it properly. Well, fear not, I am here for you. Your goal is to accentuate your tiny waist without making your rear look larger than it is. This may seem difficult but it's not. I promise! Ready, set, go!



When it comes to tops your goal is to slightly minimize your upper body. Try to avoid wearing round necks (unless they're scoop necks, they fall lower down so they don't create uni-boob), high necks like turtle necks, or deep plunging V's. V necks that aren't super deep are perfect for you. You want to make sure that when you bend over people aren't getting a show they didn't ask for. Flowy tops are great as long as they aren't a super high neck and they are belted at the waist. Another great way to camouflage and accentuate at the same time is to wear shirts that are cinched in or belted at the waist, with a v-neck (wear a cami if you need to!), and flares out from the waist. You can also look absolutely fantastic in the jeans, boots, long shirt, and a long cardigan look but just make sure you belt the cardigan and shirt to accentuate your waist. One surprising top style that looks absolutely amazing on bigger chested girls is the y-neck. If you have a shorter neck, you probably won't look as great in this, but if you have a long neck this style will be great on you. It pulls the eye to the narrow part of your neck and makes your shoulders and chest look absolutely fantastic.

As for pants, you are one of the rare body types that can look absolutely fantastic in flared jeans. They accentuate the smallest part of your leg while also making your hips and booty look fantastic. The key is to keep the jeans tight enough with a little stretch so they don't get saggy on your biggest area. Also, make sure they are high waisted enough so when you walk or sit down we don't see more of your beautiful butt than we want to.  You will also look absolutely amazing in trousers or trouser jeans because they will elongate and slim your legs while still accentuating your wonderful ass...et.

Dresses and skirts are a great asset for your body type. If you are confident enough and have the right undergarments you can rock the pencil skirt and loose fitting top tucked in with a belt. Think Christina Hendricks from Mad Men. Just promise me if you rock this look that you will wear Spanx or Assets so there aren't any unfortunate lines. Also, make sure the skirt or pencil dress is lined and made from good fabric. You can also totally rock the 50's housewife dress too. Big skirts, small waists, and v-neck tops are your best friends!

Here are some things you will want to steer clear of:

1). Shift dresses: They will do absolutely nothing for your shape and probably bunch up on your booty.
2). Anything too flowy and shapeless: Your best asset is your shape! Don't hide it!
3). Turtle Necks: Your boobs will look HUGE. And not in a good way. Round, high necks will give you uni-boob. That's not good.
4). Anything that is too short. Your booty is going to make things shorter than they would be on someone with a smaller hind end, so always do a booty check in the mirror! Make sure you can sit/bend over without your butt falling out.

Bottom Line: ACCENTUATE YOUR WAIST!!! Don't wear anything that makes you a look boxy.
