Hourglass Shape
This is the most sought after body type. For ages, poets, writers and sculptors have a fascination for this type of figure. Since ancient times women went to any extent to have this kind of a figure when they forced themselves to wear tight corsets to have a narrow waist.

Women who desire to have this kind of figure need not necessarily go under the knife, but can be a little careful with their diet and workouts.
