That was the result of taking my own measurements (bust-hips-waist). Not exactly an hourglass figure. More like a tree trunk! But, alas, somehow with the right skirt and posture, I almost seemed to have a shape, to my amazement! (I borrowed the skirt from my lady, I prefer mine much shorter). No pads, no girdle, no waist cincher, just my very own tush.
I'm so excited and encouraged!
