Fab Body Guide: Dangerous Curves Ahead

Leighton Meester's body is smokin', but by no means curvalicious. So why am I using her as a poster child for curves? Because in her BCBG dress, she proves that you don't need major curves to look womanly. Here, her body looks more hourglass-like than usual, thanks to the dramatic racerback bodice of her LBD.

Notice how the straps sit closer in, away from her shoulders, and how the sides dramatically curve below her armpits? That inverted cutout draws in your gaze and makes you picture an hourglass figure. Of course, a body-conscious fit also helps to move this illusion along. Watch out, dangerous curves ahead!

    This actually looks more like a recipe for armpit-fat disaster if you're not really thin. I have a-cups but my armpit flab would be flyin' all over the place in a dress/armscythe cut this way!

    Her waist seems to be pretty narrow in proportion to her hips, and I do like how this cut accentuates that.

    I really like the Versace dress underneath the picture of Leighton Meester. I'm the same body type, where i really don't have many curves, i'm just average. So this is a great tip.

    I already have an hourglass figure. Also, I have a top that has that detail. I find that it really emphasize my bust (I'm a natural C-cup). It's really provocative.
