This body type is a woman who is almost there for having an hourglass shape – she’s well-proportioned, has an obvious waistline, but there is something that is throwing the perfect proportion off.  It could be short legs,   breasts that are a little too small or large, or hips and thighs that are a little too big.

Some minor issue here or there that upsets an otherwise hourglass balance can be easily adjusted to get you to the ideal hourglass figure.  For example a contour bra that has molded foam in the cups can give your breasts a more rounded and beautifully shaped bustline.  Or a bra with a push-up pads in the bottom of the cups can give added fullness to the breasts.

If your legs are short, it’s important that you not make your bottom look heavy or wider by covering it with boyshorts.  Instead, go for the g-strings, string bikinis or rio style briefs.  These smart choices make your hips and thighs look narrower and your legs look longer and slimmer.  Of course, slipping into a pair of heels also helps.
