This Fall there’s a new shape to fashion: The Hourglass. Dresses this season are taking a step back in time to the prim fit that used to rule the world. No longer just a vintage style from the 40s and 50s, The Hourglass Dress is hitting the mainstream.
The Hourglass Dress accentuates the bust and hips. This fashion is known as the woman’s best friend, allowing you to show off your natural curves. While there are stick thin models walking the runways, the real trend is feeling confident and comfortable in whatever shape you’re in.

The 50’s fit gets an update this Fall with new modern prints and accessories. Even if you don’t have an hourglass figure, like most of us, you can still pull off the Hourglass Dress. Wear a blazer, jacket, or cardigan with your dress to give it a more modern feel, and add on a belt to your outfit for a cinched waist look. Thick or thin belts worn at the waist will give you the hourglass look.
