Hourglass Dresses
Your curves were made for dresses – so have some fun! Just stick to styles that highlight – not hide – your waist.
Hourglass heavenly dresses
- Wrap dresses and back-tie styles will work that waist
- You’ll look fab in scoop, sweetheart and V necklines
- ‘Fit and flare’ and strapless dresses suit your shape
Hourglass frock horrors
- Empire line and straight sheaths are a ‘no’ for you
- If you’re busty avoid frills and bows on the bodice
- If you’re heavy on the bottom skip tight skirt styles
Joy's Top Tip:
If you love strapless dresses but have full upper arms simply add a little shrug!
