Would this dress suit an hourglass shape?

[SansaClegane]

Just saw this in the FCUK sale and very tempted... but not sure if it would do me any favours? As an hourglass shape, I usually wear clothes with a defined waist, and am a bit worried this would just make me look giant and frumpy. I'm also not 5'10" like the model

I don't think it would make the most of your figure. Are you a very slim hourglass? If so I think it might be ok, but if you are larger I don't think it would work.

I have an hourglass figure and I wouldn't wear that, it's not shaped in the slightest, you're at risk of looking like a flump.

I'm can't see why hot , it looks classier in the dark magenta though

If you are a slim hourglass, then yes. Also you would want killer legs.

Thanks for talking sense into me, I'll leave it then!
I was just drawn to the floaty shininess of it and the fact that it looks a bit different. Agree that the magenta looks nicer but a) I'm auburn so it doesn't go well with my colouring and b) that colour is out of stock!
And sadly I definitely don't have killer legs.

Plus, I don't really have an occasion to wear anything like this to anyway
* sigh*

I guess I was just daydreaming!

I add a belt to shapeless dresses! Doesn't always work though.

No.

No, it wouldn't flatter your figure at all.

It’s cheap for a reason!

I agree it's probably not the best for an hourglass. Looks better for an apple or straight figure with good legs. I am considering this one (on another thread) because I think this style is perfect for hourglass or pear shapes.
