Hourglass Silhouettes
An hourglass silhouette is achieved when the hourglass shape, which is characterised by wide hips, narrow waist and wide bust, is outlined by outfits such as corsets, dresses and many more.
For hourglass silhouettes, the goal is to emphasise the enviable curves of the client while playing up the petite waist and like Nifemi Fadugbagbe, a fashionista shared,
“Outfits that highlight the hourglass shape are usually flattering and chic.”
