Style tips & fashion advice on how to dress the hourglass body shape

[amf4eva]

I wish the cameraman wasn't filming behind all those manikins...

[Ladylyla]

why would i use something to draw even more attention to my bust when i'm a hourglass????

@Deppinsane

Uh, I happen to be hourglass on the small size--like a 35-25-36. It's not all that fun dressing up. Most things just make me look fat cause it skims over my waist--which makes the rest of me look proportionate.

@will309400 Do you wear belts? I'm about (standing up straight and prim) 38-28-38.

[sunnybossLawensky]

WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She describe the hourglass figure wrong An hourglass shape doesnt mean you have big boobs and a big butt But more like the boobs and hips balance each out wit a small waist

[MusicGirl6462]

I agree that the model isn't really an hourglass,, but what's with the people complaining that she's nit plus sized? Hourglass doesn't mean plus sized( really it's just magazines trying to be nice when they refer to bigger women as "curvy" and an hourglass.)really its all about your measurements not your weight.

[cherritown]

dude this guide completely fails for all the shapes -_- if you guys click on the other ones you ll notice that it's the same model for all of the "shapes" what s the point of this total FAIL!

[ivylyn21]

Uhh not even close to having big boobs or hips! FAIL

[IoMoon]

??? How did "hourglass" become "plus sized?"

[Soraya4U]

@IoMoon omg totally agree! hourglass does not equal fat!

[chittychittyjayjay]

Ugh, this clip made me motion sick.

That is the thinnest plus size model I have ever seen! If you're going to give plus size advice and tips, and least have the courage to use plus size models.

[ljs82805]

@aluap78 I would just like to say that there are some misconceptions that an hourglass figure is plus sized. That's not the case at all. To be an hourglass figure your waist has to be at least 9-10 inches smaller than your shoulders and hip sizes. Generally the top and bottom are fairly even with a tiny waist. You can be an hourglass and be skinny, just like the model is.

[Maskradechick]

i didnt like the model either. plus the camera was moving so much i could hardly see anything. I dont fancy peering in between hanging objects either.

[MaliciousDictator]

Technically, hourglass doesn't always refer to women who are just thicker and have a thing waist. The hourglass figure seems to depend mostly on measurements. In the case of hourglass figured women, the width of their waist is more than ten inches less than the width of their bust and hips, which should be close to each other. This model's shape would be considered hour glass figure. I agree that the designer should have used a heavier model though.

[ljs82805]

@MaliciousDictator oops I just realized I pretty much posted the same thing as you. :) Looks like we're on the same page.

[betty4gators]

what a load of crap! this model is tiny - yea a real hourglass?!

[NatalieValdivia470]

i agree with Deppinsane

they should of used ladys that have and hourglass shape.

[baby287girl]

what is the name of that type of dress?

[Deppinsane]

>.> Whats the point in using such a skinny model then? That was annoying to watch... that woman can wear whatever she wants, shes not curvy at all.
