Hourglass

Hourglass
Lucky you - you get to claim the feminine "ideal" for body type, and as they say - if you've got it, flaunt it. Drapey, baggy styles can have a tendency to make you look larger than you are - so stick with waist cinching styles to highlight your little middle. Nobody knows hourglass like Joan Holloway on Mad Men, and this season - body conscious styles like hers, and other 50's ladylike dresses and skirts are a continuing trend. Try a button front shirt dress with a full skirt, a-la Dior's New Look. A graphic print will give a modern edge to the classic style, but popular pastels also work well for such feminine shapes. 1.
