Hi Girls! Today I’ll be covering as much as I can about shapewear in as few words as possible – which is a real challenge given the numbers and styles of the various forms of female shapewear! I’m gonna save you a pile of money as well!
Shapewear comes in many shapes and styles designed to give a lady an elegant, classy, cute, and sexy look while wearing her clothing. The words used to describe different types of shapewear I currently own include the following: bras, corsets or waist trainers, butt and hip enhancers, body briefers (both full and no breast types), and waist trimmers. I own every single type of these forms of shapewear in their three basic colors – black, nude/beige, or white – depending on what I’m going to wear that day or night over the shapewear.
All the above noted forms of shapewear may have different descriptive names assigned to them, and I couldn’t begin to list them all in a limited amount of words.
Here’s a couple of my best money saving tips when purchasing shape wear. 1) Please don’t go online and spend $100 to $300 on some silicone butt or hip enhancers or a pair of $200 silicone breasts. What a waste of money! Especially when you can get exactly what you need for a fraction of those prices! 2) You can purchase all the shape wear you need online at Amazon or in brick and mortar stores such as Walmart, TJ Maxx, Marshalls, The Ross Stores, or The Burlington Stores.
When it comes to silicone breasts, you can’t beat Amazon for the quality and price. Mine are gorgeous in a perfect 38B size and a perfect tear-drop shape with the most beautiful nipples on them you’ve ever seen! I only paid 28 bucks for them on Amazon and have had them for over five years. They are still perfect! My foam breasts I purchased online from of all places – Walgreens! They are extremely light weight, and I use them when I’m wearing my strapless bras, which are needed for dresses or tops that are shear from the top of the breasts to the top of my shoulders-(so no bra straps are showing.)
My butt and hip enhancers cost between $10 and 15 dollars from Amazon. I like the ones that come with the removable foam pads, have interior pockets for the pads, and have about a 2-inch piece of stretch lace at the bottom of the spandex panties. You usually must purchase the butt and hip-padded panties separately and put on both pairs when wearing something that has a snug fit around your butt. And when you order on Amazon Prime, the shipping is free, and the items are on your porch either in one or two days!
My corsets or waist trainers come from Amazon or all the brick and mortar stores noted above. The price for them ranges from $14 to $25 each. I have them in all three of the basic colors – black, nude, and white. The same goes for the purchase of full body briefers or braless body briefers. The location of purchase is the same as corsets or waist trainers and the prices are the same as well. When it comes to body briefers, you can buy them online or at any of the brick and mortar stores noted above.
Here’s another couple of my very important Scarlett shapewear tips for you! First; when purchasing online, take the time to read the reviews from the customers who’ve already purchased the items you’re looking at. These reviews are critical to finding out about form, fit, function, and durability! I never buy any shapewear online without reading these very important reviews! Secondly; I usually purchase my shapewear one size smaller than recommended on the size charts. I like a firm fit when it comes to creating my girly curves! In many of the photos that you see of me on CDH, the only shapewear I have on is a size 38B bra with my 38B silicone breasts inserted in the bra. I simply don’t need shapewear when wearing dresses that have some sort of flare from the waist down.
And speaking of breasts; Many crossdressers think “Bigger is better or sexier!” – WRONG! – That’s just not the case! In my Scarlett photos, I’m wearing 38B silicone breasts in a 38B bra. Based on the overwhelming number of compliments I receive, from so many of the sweet girls on this site, it confirms that my breast-size choice is the right choice! I want to thank you girls for all your lovely notes. I never take any of them for granted. Thank you so much for sending them to me!
Well girls, that’s a good start on this topic. I’m sure you may have additional questions you want answers to. If you have further questions regarding shapewear, please send them to me in a private message.
Love, Scarlett XOXOXO

Scarlett! Thank You for a wonderful and enlightening article. I never would have thought to purchase shape wear from Amazon. I agree with you about breast size. I think the large size looks a bit overdone and takes away from her figure. Thanks again, I plan on reading all of your articles. Hugs Jenna.
You sure are welcome, Jenna! And yes, big breast don’t equal big beauty! As a matter of fact, I honestly thing big breast detract from a woman’s beauty! Jenna, I taught middle school Math and Algebra after a 30 year career with the Department of Defense purchasing the highest tech missiles and bombs which went underneath our highest tech fighter jets in the world. And that last working gig of mine, plus 25 years of extremely successful head coaching of mostly baseball and a few years of football and soccer brings out the teaching and coaching in me. That’s why… Read more »
Thank You Scarlett for taking the time to reply. Your teaching skills are evident with your helpful information that you give to all of us girls. I’m going to read your other articles too! I would like to try to write and submit an article to CDH. How do I go about doing so? I have something in mind and so I love to contribute to everyone. I was a health care professional before I retired and it’s killing me that I can’t help with the pandemic problem! I’m a caring person and need to help! Maybe that would be… Read more »
Great question and here ya go Jenna! You first click on the word “Articles" at the top right of any page on this site. Then click on the first tab “Crossdresser – Articles and Posts". Then click on the word “Author" at the top of that link and then your all set to choose from “New Article or New Post" and from there and you’re ready to go! We love to have new writers come on board to contribute to our article section. I’m an editor in that section and for some reason, the girls seem to really like my… Read more »
Scarlett. I followed your advice and the word author stays on the top for about 2-3 seconds and disappears. I’m not sure if it is me or what. Sorry to keep bothering you, I’m sure you are busy. Any other advice on how to keep it open. Thanks. Hugs Jenna
Not sure girl friend. Send my senior editor a quick note and ask her about getting an article posted and see what she has to say about it!
That’s “Sabrina (Brina) MacTavish" and she’s always willing to help!
XOXOXO Scarlett
Great advice Scarlett. I guess I way overpaid for many years by buying mostly from specialty stores catering to the tg community.
Way back in the day, I used to buy mostly from that classic store Lee’s Mardi Gras Boutique, using, instead of cash, credits I had from royalties for the books that I wrote for Lee’s Mardi Gras Press. Back before the internet, Lee was a godmother to many of us and her very well stocked store was a godsend.
Sorry it took so long to get back with you Cassie and thanks for taking time to read my article. With shape wear, wigs, breasts, bras, clothing, heels and all of the rest, it definitely takes time to flatten out the learning curves associated with the art of cross dressing!
XOXOXO Scarett
Great article Scarlett. I do agree too many girls are focused on big breast which are fun to wear but not if youre stepping out in public. Keep it at b or c cups. Yet bigger hips and butt enhancers as well as cinchers are what most girls here need to focus in on. There is a wonderful feeling of being in tight jeans or skirt with big hips and this makes us more passable than most are aware of. True too what you say about shopping at amazon. Big hugs to you sis
Thanks a bunch, Deborah, for enjoying my article. Glad to hear you’re not into big breasts as well! Shape wear has do be worn depending on what you’re wearing. I have the body where if I’m wearing a dress that flares out, the only shape wear I have to wear is a bra and a pair of foam or silicone breasts. If I’m wearing something like a tight fitting bodycon dress, I have to wear a full body shaper, hip and butt enhancers, a bra and foam or silicone breasts. So it all depends on what you’re gonna… Read more »
Thank you for these shapewear tips, Scarlett. I’m only now at 62 getting into my dressing in earnest, after years of difficulty and suppression. It’s so great to have someone who looks as gorgeous as you do, say that you can get great results with very inexpensive items. That’s really important for me, as I’m on a budget. You’re a star!

@Scarlett398 Thank you for sharing! I just purchased my first set of breast forms in the past week, a set of B size and D size. From Amazon.
Super girlfriend! I’d encourage you to use the B size more that the D size. 😍
