How to Dress When You Have Flat Buns

I am sure that Deborah at the blog Fabulous after 40, is not necessarily thinking of our community with her fashion advice. I always reference her on my blog simply because her fashion advice is so good and germane to all.    
Hello my name is Rhonda and I suffer from flat buns. There I have said it.  In years past I placed foam bun pads at the skin layer of three pairs of pantie hose. Don't snicker; you did it too. However, now with the casual no-hose look, and the fact that my fake buns fell apart, I am fake bunless. They always felt a little odd when sitting and maybe skinny jeans just seem to work now. Long story short - I don't miss them.  They always felt, well, fake. 

Here is what Deborah has to say on flat buns:


Are you middle-aged and losing your butt?  After the age of 30, our bums start losing muscle mass and tone making them droop and wrinkle. Things get worse when we hit menopause, and falling estrogen levels lead to less fat in our butts, making them look flat as a pancake. What’s a gal to do?The good news – by using some of these easy styling tricks, you can take your butt from flat to fabulous! Here’s how:


  1. STEER CLEAR OF SHAPELESS JACKETS
  2. WEAR BODY SKIMMING DRESSES TO ACCENTUATE YOUR HIPS AND BUTT
  3. DEFINE YOUR WAIST
  4. WEAR LIGHT/ BRIGHT COLORS ON YOUR BOTTOM
  5. SEEK OUT BUM ENHANCING PANTS AND JEANS
  6. TRY BUTT BOOSTING RIGHT SHAPEWEAR
  7. WEAR HEELS (My favorite)





Under each of these item she delivers detail advice so check out her whole post.  The closing advice is: "Don’t let a droopy tush get you down. Give these tricks a try to get the look of a perky posterior."



Thanks Deborah.

  1. It's usually very difficult for a trans woman (especially an older one) to come close to having the ideal waist to hip ratio of .70. Of course, it's difficult for an older cis woman, too, even if she had had the ideal ratio before. The problem often is magnified when the waist gets bigger and the hips/butt get smaller. The model in the picture may have a small butt, but she still has a smaller waist to go with it.

    One day, while I was waiting in line at the grocery store, I couldn't help becoming fixated on the backside of the older woman in front of me. She was probably in her mid-seventies, and an estimated 80 pounds in weight. Dressed in her fleece jogging outfit, she appeared to have no figure at all (certainly not close to the .70 ratio), except for the Depends that were so obviously filling out her silhouette! I remember wondering is there could be a market for padded adult diapers. :-)
