Dress Me: Hourglass, Average Height Woman - a list by LaurenMessiah

Options for This Page

About this list:

I hate the word "curvy" it's usually a code word for fat, so I am using "hourglass" instead. These tips are for woman with boobs and butt but also have a tiny waist. You will think a body like that is a blessing but it can actually be quite tricky to dress (I own this bod so I know.) Here are some great pieces to wear for this body type.

D&G Dolce & Gabbana Satin bustier dress

First to recommend

Description

D&G dresses always work for hourglass gals. The bustier top acts as built in support for your ladies up top. These dresses are cut in a way to make you look chic and slim as well. Showign off those curves in a bright color is much more fun than basic black too.

James Perse - Luxury Melange Jersey Long Sleeve V-Neck T-Shirt

First to recommend

Description

A V-neck top is always flattering on an hourglass shape. The v shows off a bit a cleavage (just dont make it obscene) and it draws the eye down for a streamline shape.

American Rag Belted Topper Coat

First to recommend

Description

A 3/4 length coat that ties at the waist is perfection for an hourglass, average height gal like myself. The waist tie makes you look tiny in all the right places and the length doesn't swallow you whole.

Stella McCartney- Satin Metal Filigree Pumps

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

A great pair of pumps is perfect for the averge height hourglass gal. When worn with skirts they show more leg to enlongate (ankle straps can cut you off and shorten you.) When worn with jeans or trousers they can magically make you look slimmer.

Pencey- Stretch "Mummy" Pencil Skirt

First to recommend

Description

I straight pencil skirt is really flattering on an hourglass figure (shows off a great booty.) Make sure it hits right by the knee. Any shorter and you will look slutty, any longer and you will look like a granny.

Ivy Tafetta Jacket - Elizabeth and James

First to recommend

Description

When buying a jacket for an hourglass shape it's best to buy something that emphasises your tiny waist. Go for a jacket like this one by Elizabeth and James that nips in at the waist.
