Dresses for the figure "Hourglass"

The hourglass-like figure is called the most feminine and very harmonious. It is believed that girls with such a physique go with any clothes, but there are styles that can ruin such an ideal silhouette.

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.

Such famous actresses have an hourglass-like figure:

• Scarlett Johansson;
• Dita Von Teese;
• Brigitte Bardot;
• Natasha Richardson;
• Salma Hayek;
• Elizabeth Taylor;
• Sophia Loren;
• Catherine Zeta-Jones;
• Marilyn Monroe;
• Naomi Campbell;
• Gina Lollobrigida;
• Kim Basinger;
• Michelle Pfeiffer;
• Monica Bellucci;
• Christina Hendricks.

To better highlight the merits and pluses of an hourglass-like figure, it is advised to wear the following dresses:

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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).
6. 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.
7. Dresses with pencil-style skirts. These models fit perfectly on an X-silhouette.

• 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.
