The hourglass figure is a highly coveted classic pin up shape often associated with the 1950s, which means that any corset that has a vintage, pin up or burlesque feel to it is ideal for you. Girls with an hourglass figure will have a 10-12” difference between their waist and hips. If you have this figure type you should avoid anything too small as your hips may squish out of the bottom of it. These corsets have built in curves which will suit your figure more than a tubular or flat-fronted corset.
