Creating an Hourglass Figure

Developing an Hour Glass Figure: 

Fashions come and fashions go.

Having an hourglass figure is one of the most feminine traits any woman can have nowadays. When considering dressing as a woman, after all, it is very important to think of the hip, bust and waist areas. All three areas need to be in sync and proportionate to be convincing – think of an hourglass, picture the actual image in your mind. Where to start? If you are 6′ tall with a 44″ chest and 34″ waist then the chances are you will need a fairly large cup breast form to have a proportionate bust and then balance this with some convincing padding in the hip and rear area. WARNING: Do not be tempted to overcompensate with very large breast forms; this is one of the most common mistakes made when attempting transformation in the early stages.

b cup

The average female has a cup size of B or a little larger whereas an average male frame requires a C cup so unless you are over 6′ with the 44″ chest then start with a C cup and see how you look. If you require silicone breast forms then always try to find a supplier close by where you can try them on for fit and look. If this is not possible then use an online service that:

a) Provides detailed sizing information including easily understandable charts
b) Has live customer service support where people know about fitting correctly

Also, look in the small print for the Returns Policy; will the vendor allow exchanges for size with no re-stocking fee within a reasonable time period?

Waist Cinching. The waist needs to taper inwards between the hip and the breast area. There are traditional methods that can help give more definition to a bulging waistline: girdles, shapers, plastic boned cinchers and corsets and steel boned corsets for maximum cinching ability. Steel Boned Corsets can cinch 3-5 inches off most waists when used carefully – all the other above mentioned methods will take between 1-2 inches off the waist. If just starting out then we recommend a girdle or a plastic boned cincher is a good place to start but you should order a size below your actual waist size if you have slim hips in order to have a good cinch. In time you should graduate to a steel boned corset which is the one garment that can radically accelerate your progress to a true hour glass shape.

Other advantages of using a traditional laced corset are they are very much in fashion nowadays and can be worn underneath or on top of clothing plus corsets improve posture considerably. A fully laced corset will make a person move and hold themselves in a more feminine manner and so elevates the whole transformation effect.

Hip and Rear Padding. If you get the breast and waist area correct but do nothing with the hips and rear then there is a goods chance your transformation will be incomplete as you will have a very flat butt area and dresses will not appear flattering from behind. Simple use of loose cloth covered foam pads or full padded panties will transform this area.

Concentrate on these 3 key areas in building an hour glass figure and you are a long way along the road to being a passable female beauty and it needn’t break the bank. There are many suppliers offering good quality and reasonably priced solutions so shop around. To re-cap:

  • To be passable go for an average bust size – not too big
  • Accentuate the waist with cinching aids like a girdle, corset or even a wide belt
  • Don’t forget to pad the rear and hips to create a true hourglass shape
  • Always try breast forms and other shaping garments on for size and feel. If possible this should be done in a shop or showroom atmosphere. If that’s not possible in your location then always use a supplier with live customer support to assist you and an easy no-quibble exchange/returns policy
