THE HOURGLASS (free Body Shape Download)
Dressing your body shape is part and parcel of accessing the tools that will make you look good on the outside which in the end affects how we feel on the inside, but it is important that there is a balance of self-love on the inside as well as the outside. Following the guidelines will help you look fantastic but its just as important to embrace your shape and love who you are from the inside out.
The Hourglass body shape is classified as, 'perfectly proportioned' (perfect triangle at the top and bottom).
This body shape has a perfectly balanced upper, and lower body. The only limitations to this body shape will come from other factors such as weight, prominent features, age, and shoulder line etc. Weight gain for the Hourglass is mostly unapparent as it is spread evenly over the entire body and the waist stay moderately small.
