Hourglass body shapes have a wide bust, a narrow waist, and wide hips with a measurement similar to that of the bust.
You are also in great, great company, as some appreciated celebrities share your body type. Some examples include Catherine Zeta-Jones, Christina Hendricks, Marylin Monroe, Helen Mirren, and Salma Hayek.
It is important to mention there are two types of hourglass shapes — one with the lower bottom a bit larger, and one with the upper half of the body a bit larger. Even so, you don’t have much work to do when it comes to balancing the upper and the lower halves of your body, but you might want to consider clothing pieces that help you elongate your entire look.
You want to draw more attention to your upper half and waist and focus on straight cuts around your lower half.
