I know the basic rules about pencil skirts and high waisted stuff but are there any other tips for dressing an hourglass shape? I'm getting kinda bored of nothing but pencil skirts xD thanks in advance ladies xxxxx

Wear patterns with stripes of all different sizes and directions, it makes the waist look slimmer :)

I have this problem too, and putting a cute belt on does wonders to a boxy skirt.

Thanks so much :) One of my biggest concerns was making my hips look too boxy as I've heard that's a common problem other hourglasses have :p and Abigail I have this one belt that I could never live without! XD belts are really a lifesaver <3.

High waisted pants/shorts.
I personally love blazers. I'm not sure if they do anything for hourglass figures, but I just love them.

I always have the boxy hip problem, and I'm hourglass too! I'm 5ft5 and my measurements are 37-31-37. I skater skirts but they make me look boxy so I wear them with a belt, same as dresses:) I have to wear outfits which are tight on top and loose on bottom and vice versa, otherwise I look huge! I agree with Melanie, I love high waisted shorts and leggings:) I like maxi skirts too but I have to wear a tight top:)

Girlie I know the struggle thankss mom for giving me a latina body ^^. I love just wearing tight jeans with a tight top to show of my body shape. I could live without blazers. tbh I can never find highwaisted shorts that fit either too small at my butt or too big for my waist. try using wide belts. I love wearing leggings with a cute sweater and a belt.

Omg thanks so much girls you all are amazing! I don't think people really realise how hard it is to dress an hourglass shape xD my measurements are 35-25-35 and it's damn near impossible finding clothes that are big enough for the bust and hips but small enough for the waist xD but thank you for all your suggestions you're all awesome! Xxx
