Dangerous Hourglass Ahead

The curvy hourglass measurements are roughly equal in the bust area as in the hip area with a distinct waist, usually up to 10cms differences. Lucky you!!! You have curves to die for  and are a classic symbol of sexy. Your curves remind everyone of the 1950's movie-star glamour

Not all hourglasses are buxom and bootylicious like Salma Hayek or Beyonce. You can be a neat hourglass with a small bust and hips but tiny waist, perfectly in proportion just like think Audrey Hephurn.

Hourglasses tend to have a tummy unlike their more flat tummy sister,The Pair. Girls, our aim is to boost boobs, tone down the tummy, skim the hips and work that tiny waist.

We have the curves, so let's not hide them but show them off to their glorious potential.

What to wear

• You are lucky as most dresses look fabulous on you, from the bodycon fitted dress to the full skirted 50's styles.
• Remember a belt is your best friend. Don't make it too wide, which will make you puff out on the sides or too tiny, where it will get lost.
• Low, open necklines will always be best for you. Stay away from high-neck blouses and polo knits
• If wearing tight fitted dress, avoid skin-tight dresses in cheap jersey as this will highlight any lumps and bumps you have. Choose a fitted dress in a fabulous corset like fabric to hold you in tight.
• You can get away with skinny jeans but classic straight leg in a dark denim is more flattering and classy
• if you are a neat hourglass, invest in a good push-up bra to make the most of your bust.

Don't be afraid to play with 'Illusion" dresses. These are the ones with panels in the dress to give the optical illusion of more define curves. Just make sure you are wearing good Spanx underwear and avoid the cheap and nasty fabric. Go for fabrics with structure and strength

Remember the golden rule of balance. If showing a lot of cleavage, lengthen the hemline. If showing a lot of leg, cover up that bust. Too much skin is a no-no. The perfect hemline is the knee. The shorter  you go, especially if tiny in stature, the shorter you will look. High-waisted, knee length skirts are perfection for you.

Heels, heels and more heels are an Hourglasses best friend. When you walk in them, they give your body a whole lot of attitude and sway. Find a pair that you are comfortable with and blow everyone out of the park.

It's ok, as well not to show off that killer bod. I love loose, flowing dresses and pants on some days. Remember to love your body and be proud of it. Flaunt it, show it off ( in a tasteful manner) no matter what your age. Don't hide it under layers of fabric. celebrate what nature gave you and revel in it's beauty
