Features of the figure
The main plus of this type of figure is, without a doubt, a thin waist. Its ratio is approximately 75% of the hip girth.
Since the upper and lower parts of such a silhouette are practically the same volume, such a figure is also called X-shaped.

Suitable styles
To better highlight the merits and pluses of an hourglass-like figure, it is advised to wear the following dresses:
- Sheath dress. It can be either flared from the hips or narrowed at the bottom. In such a dress, the hourglass figure will look the most advantageous. The outfit is most often chosen for a festive evening, but such a dress is also suitable for a business meeting.
- Wrap dress. It looks especially beautiful on a slender beauty with an hourglass figure. To emphasize the plusses of the figure, you can use asymmetric draperies and a revealing neckline.
- A-line dress with a fitted bodice. In such an outfit, a girl with an X-like figure will be able to hide a little plumpness.
- Dress shirt. Such a dress can be either straight or slightly flared, it is only important to clearly define the waist, which is most often achieved by using a belt.
- Dresses with drapes and frills. Such decorative elements can be on the chest (such outfits have a very feminine and sophisticated look) or on the waist line (they will not spoil the image if the waist is very thin).
- Dresses with a flared skirt. They must have a tight-fitting top and a highlighted waist, and fabrics for such outfits are selected by flowing ones. The length of the skirt is found both in the floor and midi.
- Dresses with pencil-style skirts. These models fit perfectly on an X-silhouette.

Please note that beauties with an hourglass figure are not advised to wear baggy outfits (they will turn their figure into a "rectangle") and dresses, the waistline of which is slightly understated. Those girls whose lower part of the figure is not ideal should not purchase overly tight dresses. In models with a peplum or a very fluffy skirt, the figure may resemble a pear, but this moment is purely individual.

Selection Tips
- If a girl's breasts are quite voluminous, she is recommended to model dresses that have a tight corset. In such outfits, the waist will be maximally emphasized, and the bust will acquire an ideal shape.
- Girls with small breasts are advised to choose dresses with narrow straps or no straps at all. Also, beauties with small bust can wear outfits with an American armhole.
- Choosing a model with sleeves, women with an X-shaped body type should pay attention to the style of the raglan sleeves. Models with shoulder pads and flashlights should be avoided.
- A girl with an hourglass figure looks best in solid color outfits. The multicolor dress can worsen the perception of the silhouette, therefore, girls with this type of physique should refuse from floral and various geometric patterns.
- When choosing the fabric of the product, it is better to prefer feminine and soft textures. The optimal choice would be dresses made of linen, viscose, light crepe, knitwear, silk, soft and elastic cotton, as well as knitted fabrics. Dense materials with this type of figure are considered an unsuccessful option.

Wow! I am the lucky owner of the hourglass figure! By the way, it was done with a lot of work on oneself and twisting the hoop to bring the waist in a good shape.
I am also a lucky owner of the hourglass figure. At the age of 17-22 I had 90 60 90. Then everything began to grow by the centimeter. Now at 44 I have 101 80 104. And I can’t buy myself anything for the summer. Either a very old wardrobe, or very young. For height 172, almost everything is short. Which brand from the middle price category can be considered, please, advise.
And I'm the same ....)))) I used to have 90-60-90, then 100-70-100 ... now here's 104-78-104 .... The article is good, I just decided to order new jersey dress, looking for a style ...)
I'm not just a watch - I'm a specific watch) I have 107-80-111)) only 158 cm too small.
And what type is 88-48-92? Pear or watch?
Learn to sew yourself, it will be 2-3 times cheaper and it will be fabulous to sit, and most importantly, your nerves will be saved + you can allow yourself any idea you like and you will not be annoyed: short or bursting at the seams - my case or the wrong fabric (personally I really love natural ones), with a strong desire, a dress can be sewn in a day, pants and a skirt in 2-3 hours, a blouse is also 1 day, if not in a hurry.
Excellent recommendations.
I have had an "hourglass" waist since birth, passed on from my mother. The parameters do not match a little 86-64-90, I'm trying to work on the waist. Thank you mom for the figure.
I am also a happy owner of such a figure. With a height of 180 cm and an age of 36, I have 95-75-110. Earlier, at 23, I was 90-60-100.
