Kate Winslet is a Vase, a body type quite similar to the classic Hourglass only it's stretched a little, making it one of the most elegant body shapes. Also, Vases don’t have as pronounced a waists and have less rounded bottoms than the Hourglass. The Vase signature features are big boobs, gently curving longer waist, hips equal tits, slim thighs and legs. They can also have a little bit of chunky upper arms. The most important guidelines. - This is not the body type best suited for chasing the latest fashions because of the very feminine curves. Classic womanly clothes is the best look for a Vase. - The large boobs should not be overplayed as this can overshadow the rest of the figure, concentrate instead on the daintier areas such as the lower arms or legs by wearing three quarter length sleeves or straight leg pants. - In order to show off and accentuate your natural curves, use scooped and square necklines that are fitted under the boobs, supportive figure hugging dresses, and puffy sleeves. - Make sure to emphasize the waistline with jackets and tops that are fitted around the middle part. - Ruffles around your neckline, poloneck jumpers, princess collars and sleeveless round-neck tops are your worst looks. The Vase is the body shape many women would love to be, and the figure is at its best wearing "The classic Hollywood glamour" type of cuts and shapes. Do yourself a favor and keep the waist tight and embrace those feminine curves.
Other Vase ladies: Whitney Thompson (Winner of Americas next top model Cycle 10), Geena Davis and Mariah Carey.

Classic curves!

Hello there, I have been trying to figure out if I am hourglass or case, or something in between maybe.

Hi, C! I think it's possible that you could be an Hourglass, Vase or even a slender Cello. But, it could sound a bit more like you might be a Skittle actually. So check that one out. If not it is also a good description of a Vase, as it's possible that you're just not the exact same type of Skittle as the ladies in the post are. There are probably 12 million body types out there, that have been attempted narrowed down to 12. So, what matters the most are if the clothes fit you. If A-line skirts and sturdier heels look the best on you, that can mean Skittle. If curvy and more classic heels and fitted dressed looks better, that would mean Hourglass or Vase. Cello is usually more dramatic with a broad back and sleder lower legs compared to the rest. So the least likely one of these. A Vase will have more slender legs than an Hourglass and a stretched/long waist. The Hourglass will have a shorter waist and the legs will be curvy too. So, go whichever fits the most, as if you are the same type as the women pictured is not as important.
