No style era celebrates curves as proudly as 50’s clothing and the hourglass shape is truly making a comeback. Due to more sedentary lifestyles, less housework and changing dietary patterns, it seems only 7-8% of women today can actually be categorised as hourglass. The proportions for the shape are astounding with a 10’’ difference required between the waist and bust and again between the waist and hips, with the bust and hips of equal measurement.
The good news is that we can create the illusion of a nipped-in waist and curvy bust and bum with fabulous, feminine fifties’ dresses.
