The Hour-Glass Body Type / Gynaeoid
The hourglass body-shape is a figure that is curvaceous with large breasts and broad hips. The shoulders are well proportioned and in line with the hips.
A woman with an hourglass shape is equally balanced on top and bottom. This means that the bust measurement and hip measurement are about the same. The waist-line is also well-defined. The waist may also measure more than 10 inches less to the hips and bust.
An hourglass body shape is considered an ideal body-shape. Almost all kind of clothing suit this body type well.
