About

The most ideal and sought after body shape for women is the hourglass figure. The characteristics of an hourglass body type is highlighted by large breasts,a small waist and wide hips. While Hollywood celebrities and socialites such as Beyonce, Kim Kardashian and Scarlett Johansson seemed to have brought “curvy” back, beauties like Sophia Loren, Marilyn Monroe and Rita Hayworth were admired for their figure 8 bodies before any of the former were even born!

The term “hourglass” is used to define the shape because it literally resembles an old-fashioned hourglass. It is also sometimes referred to as a figure 8. When you looking at the digit 8, the middle represents the waist of the woman, with the top and bottom representing their counterparts on the female body as well. So this body type is ALL about your measurements and not your dress size or weight.  You can be a 100 pound size 2 or a 200 pound size 18, and still have an hourglass figure. In a woman with a true hourglass body shape,  the measurements of her hips and bust are generally the same (or very close to it) and her waist measurement is equal to, or less than 75% of her hip and waist measurement.
