Under the bust: 28.2 inches / 72 cm

Hips: 35.5 inches / 90 cm

Umm... any way you want? Seriously, I think it would be hard to go wrong. If you want to create more curves, I know you can do that with fuller skirts and accentuating the waist.

We have similar measurements except you are three inches taller than I am.

Have you seen Angie's blog posts on this? http://youlookfab.com/2010/05/.....type-2010/

She makes suggestions for small bust hourglasses there, too.

You are lucky because (especially with your height) yours is an easy shape to dress, by and large!

Welcome!

Oh...and if you can tell me where you buy your bras I will be forever grateful. It is difficult to find 30Bs.....

With this type of figure you can wear pretty much any style. I have similar measurements, my hips are smaller and I am 4" shorter. I generally have a fairly easy time finding clothes that flatter, you may have more challenges due to height, although I sometimes find that inseams are too long as I am borderline petite. I like pencil skirts, skinny and bootcut jeans, Aline midis (for the winter). I think you could wear a straight leg dress pant very well. Drapey tops with a slimmer leg would also look fab on you. There really isn't much you couldn't wear, you have height on your side!
