Miss Sis said:Exactly! The bigger shoulder pads give definition and make the figure more houglass-like. Meaning the shapes suit an hourglass figure AND those who wish to have a *more* hourglass-shape too.
I agree about the boxy-ness of the blue dress, but that's just one style, exaggerated by the huge pockets in a strange place and buttoning right up to the neck. The shape of the other dress would be much more flattering on most figures.

I'm pretty busty even in my 40s quasi pointy shape bra, Playtex comfort strap 18 hr bra, a size 36DD. I have fairly flat hips
First in Vintage Inspired clothes with all the 40s style foundations underneath:
and a couple more, all vintage 40s:
I think you look lovely especially in these outfits. It definately makes a difference with the proper undergarments. It made me want to buy the right undergarments. I love your hourglass figure!
