Story & heritage
Few products explain House of CB's thesis more clearly than 'The Hourglass'. The official page describes it as part of the archive-led bandage return, with fabric tension and panelling positioned specifically to highlight the body's curves.
That emphasis goes all the way back to the brand history on Wikipedia, which says Conna Walker wanted to create clothing that gave the illusion of an hourglass silhouette. 'The Hourglass' makes that founding idea explicit in both name and construction.
Materials & craft
Official details specify signature stretch bandage fabric, expert panelling, a scooped neckline, adjustable straps, back zip and hem slit. The page also notes that the piece is limited edition, underscoring its role as a focused archive callback rather than a permanent basic.
How to choose & style
Because the silhouette is the entire message, style 'The Hourglass' simply: strong heels, clean hair, minimal jewellery. It is the kind of dress that works best when the line of the body stays uninterrupted.
