Men and women are built differently. Women’s bodies tend to be curvier compared to men's. Men usually have a wider body frame, broader shoulders, and narrower hips. A curvy feminine figure generally consists of a smaller waist balanced by a curvier hip and a larger bust. These are the three main target areas to work on for more of a feminine hourglass shape.

In this article, we will cover tips & techniques for the male-to-female crossdressers and Trans women (pre-op) to get a perfect feminine figure.  Keep reading to get some new ideas for getting the sexy curves you desire!

1. Enhance your bust size with Breast forms or Breastplates 

Breast forms are the perfect enhancement for any crossdressers, or Tgirls (pre-op), to create natural feminine curves without costly top surgery. Breast forms can help you achieve a natural feminine upper body appearance and elevate your male to female transformation. 

Choose your breast forms so that it is big enough to balance out your shoulders. But don’t go too big on your breast form size as they will look unnatural because they can add excessive bulk to your upper body. 

Try this guideline for choosing a cup size:
For a small body frame – choose a B or C cup.
For a medium body frame – choose a C or D cup.
For a large body frame – choose a D cup or larger.

Breast forms have come a long way and there are different types of breast forms to choose from depending on your budget and your body size. The premium range of breast forms like the Hera Breast Forms, or the Aphrodite Breast forms offer the ultimate feminine appearance and feel. They are soft, realistic feeling silicone that moves just like natural breast tissue. These breast forms are also perfect for wearing under any type of clothing when dressing en femme and can be worn for long hours without any discomfort. 

Breastplates, like breast forms, duplicate the appearance of natural breasts that are connected between the breasts for a more natural transition. This means that silicone breastplates may have a more realistic appearance, or maybe more suited to showing cleavage. But on the downside, breastplates can’t be worn for a longer amount of time because it causes excessive sweating and uneasiness. Also, you will need to be a bit creative to hide the creases around the neck and shoulder area.

2. Try Waist Training With A Corset

Corsets are great for waist size reduction and will make your body have a more defined waist and smoother figure. Waist training is a method to sculpt the body using a corset to modify the waist and smoothen the abdomen to create a desired feminine hourglass figure.  

Waist training with a corset can work wonders when combined with a proper diet and exercise to achieve stunning curves. But they do take some time to get used to. With waist training, you can obtain great results but don’t try to get extreme results too fast and go too tight when starting out.

We recommend using safe practices while waist training with a corset. Consistency will help you achieve your curvy figure goals while corset training. If you are just starting out, we suggest you wear a corset for an hour or two and then ramp up to longer periods in your corset, eventually up to six to eight hours a day.

3. Enhance Your Hips with Hip Pads and Butt Pads

For hourglass body proportions, your hips should appear approximately 8 to10 inches larger than your waist. Hip pads and butt pads are padded shapewear, perfect for enhancing your hips and bottom. Hip pads not only work to give you a natural feminine hip shape but can also offset and balance out the width of your male shoulders and back, giving you a more feminine hourglass figure. 

Hip pads like the Jolie Silicone Thigh Pads is a great way to create natural-looking feminine hips which can add up to 8 inches to your total hip measurement in moments.

Butt Pads like the Divine Collection Nikki Self-Adhering Booty Pads can be used in pair with the Jolie silicone Thigh pads to create a realistic lower body feminine appearance by enhancing your hips, thighs, and bottom overall. You can also wear padded panties, which is an easy and affordable way to help create feminine curves.

4. Wear A Waist Cincher

A waist cincher (sometimes referred to as a Waspie) is designed to be worn under clothing that helps to sculpt the waist and minimize any bumps or bulges in the midsection for a sleek, slimming, and smooth figure. Waist cinchers have an instantly flattering effect on the waist size, help accentuate the body curves and also improve your posture while being worn, no matter what your body type is. 

Compared to a corset, a waist cincher is less stiff, made with stretchy fabrics, allows you to move and breathe easily, and can be worn all day with no discomfort. But a waist cincher doesn’t offer as dramatic waist size reduction as compared to corsets.

However, when you put on a waist cincher or waspie, you will see a visible difference in your waistline as it can take up to 2 to 4 inches off your waist. You can wear them under your clothing, or also as a fashion statement with your favorite jeans too.

5. Posture

Another factor that impacts your feminine figure is a good posture. Proper posture can make you look leaner, attractive, and more confident. Maintain a proper posture while standing and sitting to improve your feminine figure.

For a good posture:

• keep your shoulders back and relaxed
• pull in your abdomen
• balance your weight evenly on both feet
• keep your feet about hip distance apart
• try not to tilt your head forward, backward, or sideways
• keep your legs straight, but your knees relaxed
