Are your shoulders in proportion with your hips? and you have a waistline?  Well hello you gorgeous hourglass. Here are some style tips for you.

You have the body shape, that most women want to be. You need to wear the right clothes and accessories to help emphasise your gorgeous shape and your best assets  – especially your waistline and bust.

Some variations of the ‘Hourglass’ include the ‘Vase’ and the ‘Cello. Some famous hourglass figures are Christina Hendricks (Mad Men), Salma Hayek, Marilyn Monroe, Kate Winslet and Modern Family Star Sophia Vergara.

You do not need to be an overly ‘curvy’ woman or busty to be an hourglass, it basically means that your shoulders are in line with your hips and that you come in at the waist.
