Hourglass:
If you have a typical hourglass figure like Kelly Brook, you’re lucky enough to pull off most styles. However, to emphasise those curves a bit more go for V neck styles to flatter your boobs like this 40’s-style floral dress from Oasis. The fitted style will show off your slim waist and the busy print will disguise any problem areas.
If your body has a slight hourglass shape to it like Scarlett Johansson, you will look fabulous in this rose print dress from Dorothy Perkins. The scoop neck style will emphasise your boobs, and the nipped in waist will highlight the smallest part of your body to exaggerate those curves.
