Accentuating details to highlight your proportions

~ Select clothing made from fabrics with a bit of stretch and soft fabrics like knits which will accentuate and complement your curves.

~ V- necks and other low necklines such as scoop and sweetheart will complement your bust.

~ A dark coloured belt worn around the narrowest part of the waist will highlight your hourglass figure.

Tops

Select  tops that will highlight your waist and maintain the balanced look of your figure such as:  

> Form-fitting tops.
> Wrap-style tops.
> Belted tops.
> Tops with banding or nipping at the waist.

Look for dresses with fitted waists or adjustable-waist styles in order to achieve the best fit for your form. Suitable styles include:
