Description

The Average Figure Type X (Hourglass)

The average Figure Type X body shape can be likened to the classic “Hourglass” which was considered to be the perfect body shape in the 1950s, (and still is by some people today). It was also called the ideal body shape because of its proportions.

Figure Type X was also seen as the “standard” body size, which has traditionally been the figure type of choice for developing sizing systems by manufacturers and the paper pattern industry. A typical example of the hourglass figure type was Marilyn Monroe (one of the most famous female actors in the late 1950s), with her full bust, small waist and well-proportioned hips.
