HOURGLASS FIGURE

Do I have an hourglass body shape
The hourglass figure is characterised by full hips and bust (or shoulders) contrasted with a smaller waist. This creates the typical hourglass look. When dressing an hourglass figure there is a great deal of variety available as many styles suit the curvy shape.

How to dress an hourglass figure
When choosing a plus size dress for the hourglass figure it’s important to remember a few hourglass style basics. Anything that cinches you in at the waist is your friend, you waist is the key point you want to accentuate so waist-cinching belts, wrap dresses and wide leg trousers will all highlight your small waistline and thus your curves.

Top tips and fashion advice for hourglass figures
When it comes to choosing a plus size dress for the hourglass figure, remember, don’t wear anything too clingy or you may look a little too risqué, but don’t drown your figure either. Shapeless dresses are a no-go unless you opt for the fabulous waist belt. Avoid empire lines at all costs – they’re designed to create a narrow line above your natural waistline – something an hourglass doesn’t need.
Finally necklines are a major point of interest for the hourglass, v-neck and sweetheart necklines are perfect for the hourglass shape. Don’t forget – accentuate your curves but don’t over do it, skintight or frills and bows are unnecessary.

Boot Cut Jeans Stylish and Slimming

Dark rinsed denim with classic gold top stitching, decorative back pocket stitching, low rise waist and a flattering boot cut leg  these jeans are sleek enough to wear every day, and they pair with everything from silky tunics to woolly sweaters with ease. Dress down in flats or dress up in high heels or cowboy boots for a bit of stylish fun.
The low rise waist helps eliminate the dreaded muffin top and the boot cut or flared ankle balances out the hips. Wearing slim leg jeans with big hips is a no no. These look great and give a more curvaceous look.

PLUS SIZE DRESSES FOR APPLE BODY SHAPES

How To Dress The Apple Body Shape

Finding the right plus size dress to suit your body shape isn’t always easy; you need to find the perfect balance between dressing to suit your shape and dressing in styles you like and feel comfortable in.


What Style Of Plus Size Dress Will Suit Me
Apples are generally in good proportion; the only problem is a slight lack of a defined waistline, which can easily be made more defined by dressing in flattering styles. Apple body shapes should go for empire line and bias cut shapes that hide a fuller stomach. Wrap dresses too are great for creating an hourglass silhouette and a more defined waistline.

Plus Size Dresses For Apple Shapes What To Avoid
Avoid dresses that don’t have a defined shape like shift dresses and steer clear of waist belts, bows and other detailing at the waist, as these will make your stomach appear bigger. Clingy fabrics are a touchy area be careful not to choose styles that cling to your stomach.

Top Tips For Apple Shapes
Keep an eye out for embellished necklines or hems as these create interest away from your widest point, lower cut dresses are also a great idea as they highlight your cleavage, which detracts from your waistline.
