The hourglass is one of four female body shapes. The other shapes are the rectangular, inverted triangle, and spoon. The hourglass shape is defined as a woman whose body measurements, the circumference of the bust, waist, and hips, are a wide bust, a narrow waist, and a wide hip that has similar measurements to that of the bust. This body shape is aptly named for its resemblance to that of an hourglass where the upper and lower half are wide while the portion at middle is narrow in circumference, making the ratio wide-narrow-wide. Women who exhibit the hourglass figure are proven to be more admired which puts pressure on other women who don’t have these measurements to strive to achieve the hourglass figure.
