Upper body

• A good bra is essential for this body type. Make sure you get a good supportive bra that will thrust your bustforwards. You will want to wear mostly V-shaped tops or tops with a deep neckline. High necklines will just make your bust area too bulky
• Look for dresses that fit your boobs and elongate your waist. They should fit very snugly around that area.
• If you have some weight around the addomen then make sure your buy your dress in supportive fabric.
• T-shirts look nicest when they fit your waist, have a V-neck and have some accents on the shoulders.
• Get a coat that highlights your waist and featuress a V-neck.
• Wear single-breasted jackets that are tailored. They will often look best when left open to create a nice vertical line, which elongates
• Choose shirts that accentuate your boobs and that don’t have buttons all the way to the top.
• Tops that flare just below the boob area and go to below your crutch can be very flattering on trousers.
• Little fitted jackets that tuck in your boobs will look great on you.
• Use light scarves in winter to cover your open V-neck.
• Wear darker colors on top to make your boobs appear smaller.

Lower body

• Pencil skirts that fit well are ideal for the hourglass as they accentuate your wonderful curves.
• Other skirts can work too but will usually look better when they end around the knee.
• Opt for flat front boot cut trousers, preferably with stretch for a snug fit.
• Choose shoes that accentuate your curves, like shoes with rounded toes, peep toes or bows.

What not to wear
