Lingerie Figure Types – The Almost Hourglass Body Shape
March 13, 2009
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.

Lingerie Figure Types – The Hourglass Body Shape
March 02, 2009
That song "She’s a Brick House" with measurements of 36-24-36 pretty much describes the hourglass figure. She is well-proportioned between breasts and hips, and she has a nice slim waist.
If you fit this body shape, most women envy you because you are the shape almost all women want. You are the current beauty ideal. You can pretty much wear anything and look fabulous.
Because your bust measurement is about the same as your hip measurement, you have a good set of C cups or larger. To maximize your look and give you an even more slender one, make sure your bra has great lower cup support, and preferably some side panels in the cups to help push your breast tissue out from under your arms and more towards the center. Getting your breasts up and centered will enhance your proportions even more.
For panties, high cut panties will elongate your legs as well as shorten the lower part of your torso. This helps to put the thinnest part of your waist in the center of your torso. Of course string bikini panties are perfect for you as well as thongs.
So, if you are this body shape, go on and strut your stuff. But just know the rest of us don’t want to hear about it.
