Not all of us are blessed with a sexy hour-glass figure; most women die to have. It is a dream figure, and most paintings or poetry have been composed based on that. The hour glass figure through times has been envied by all, and there have been many men who have fallen for divas with such beauty!
Traits of an hour glass body shape
- The hips and the bust would be almost same size
- A 9” waist or smaller (smaller than the bust)
- Shapely and full breasts
- Shapely legs
- Sway!

Picking up tops
- Don’t hide or try to cover those beautiful curves in clothes that are loose-fitting. When you have curves, you have got to flaunt them and make others jealous.
- Trendy accessories with classy cuts would be nice
- Stay away from too many bows and ruffles, frills etc, they do not bring justice to the perfect curves on you.
- V-Necks are sexy to wear, which help enhance the bust line
- Tops with belts
- Wrap tops
- Ties with shirts
- Sheer fabrics and soft silk would be nice
- No wearing stiff fabrics and bulky clothing
- No wearing high necklines
- No turtlenecks
- One piece outfits are nice to wear
- One piece dresses would do justice to the body
- Stay away from ultra-blah accessories
- Stay away from batwing sleeves

Bikini choices
There are bikinis for different body shapes.

Shoes
Check the climes and the occasion you would be dressing up for. Heels go a long way to enhance the look and to make you look tall and slim.
