But regardless, your bottom half & legs will be the thinnest point of body!

Once you find the right pieces, your confidence will naturally shine through. With hourglass, you can add feminine bow details to top and bottom!

Rhubarb (Athletic) Body Shape

It might have a weird name, but is pretty accurate description for this body type. This body type has little curves and a more straight-like figure! This is a great body type to add volume to top or bottom depending on the look you are going for to create some fun and dramatic curves! One rule of thumb to remember is to keep a defined waist, so the volume looks intentional!
