20世紀40年代，墊肩仍然很流行。但是二戰后，理想身材再次變得更加女性化，裙子變短，腿露的也多了。

Then, in the late '40s, that undergarment innovation brought the hourglass figure back in a big way, with celebrities like Marilyn Monroe and Grace Kelly showing them off in very different lights in the 1950s.

40年代末，文胸的發明使得沙漏型身材再次流行。到了50年代，瑪麗蓮?夢露和格蕾絲?凱利等明星展現了不同類型的沙漏型身材。瑪麗蓮嘴唇微翹和雙眸性感，配上她的熱辣服裝，簡直錦上添花。而格蕾絲的傘裙展現的是一種更微妙的性感。
