So what are the measurements? Personally I think its the best figure to have I'm striving for it at the minute and currently 38-31-37 want to knock another 2" off the bottom 2 figures

I've been striving for a figure like that all my adult life...unfortunately i'm cursed with what is known as a "boyish" figure,this basically means I have very slim hips,no really defined waist and small-ish boobs. :-(

It's taken 7 months so far and bloody hard work. Daffy654 see a personal trainer and/or nutrionalist (not sure thats spelt right) thats what I did

I got in trouble once for telling my wife that she had a figure like an hour-glass...........................................all the sand was sinking to the bottom!

I think most 25-30 somethings and upwards now have 30 in waist and upwards...

But look at the way the womens body shape has changed over the last 100yrs... and the way certain parts were enhanced. ie. Victorian and 1900 saw large busts, tiny 16/18in waists & low bussel, 20's brought droopy shapeless, low waisted gowns and waif-like figures, 40 saw large triangular shoulder pads, 50's brought the hour-glass with pointed boobs, 60's mix between waif and large curvy women, 70's went super skinny (even the men), what with all those lycra t roller disco's, 80's saw fairly muscular, sporty & powerful women (think Grace Jones) and 90's brought heroin chic thin... and now it's size zero... ironic as USA and UK have bad obesity problems...wonder what's next? Bring back the 50's and corsets.... that's my personal favourite!

I do not know if anyone still checks this site. I am 13 and i have measurements of 37/31/37 which is 1" bust off of what river is trying to achieve. this may sound weird but i wear a sheet and belts at night to try to reduce my waist and it is a bit like a corset. I am working on the exercise to reduce my waist. I amactualy overweight for my age i am in size 14 adults.

My mistake what river is :). I miss-read the post i am sorry. Anyway it is very hard to get an hourglass figure but it isn't impossible.
