When we see a covetable piece of clothing traipsing down the runway or sprawled elegantly over the body of a model in a magazine, it’s not always an indication that piece of clothing will suit us. There is nothing more disappointing than ordering clothing online only to have it arrive and not look how we envisioned.
When I’m styling an hourglass lady, 98% of the time she will tell me then nothing ever fits properly. This is because most clothing you see in fashion shows or in editorial is worn by models with an inverted triangle body shape, with lines and edges to suit. The clothes seem to hang like they would a on a coatrack, hence the famous likening. While this may suit some, most women are not so specific in their proportions. One of the many things that makes us beautiful is our curves and quite often we don’t choose clothing that will complement our undulating figure, instead opting for cover.

I love your newsletters, and you tube videos. Thanks for all this info.
I have an hourglass figure type. However, when I wear clothes that hug my waist, and skim my hips, they do not look good, because I have a roll of fat above my waist, and a bulging stomach. Also have outer thighs that curve and do not look good. I can’t seem to get rid of this fat. Any suggestions? Diet does not help— was on a keto diet for 1 month and lost only 3 lbs., and no inches.. I also walk 30 minutes every day.
