Dresses for Hourglass Figure
Cut for the hourglass figure, made to your measurements.
Off-the-rack dresses are cut for an average that nobody actually has. BLINI's edit for the hourglass figure solves that one of two ways: either an in-stock silhouette designed to flatter, or a fully custom cut to your exact measurements at no extra cost.
Hourglass figures look strongest in fitted bodices that follow the waist — corseted couture, mermaid skirts, deep V-necklines, wrap silhouettes. Avoid drop-waist or shift dresses that hide the waistline.
Each silhouette below has been pattern-tested by our atelier. Worldwide express shipping. Free returns on standard sizes.
