Hip dips

No one cares about your "hip dips" but you! This is just another crazy standard to make woman hate themselves. You are amazing and beautiful just the way you are!

Honestly I didn't even know what a hip dip was and had to Google it!

I have hip dips and I hate them. I know, I know embrace your body and whatnot but I, personally, hate them on me.

If you feel uncomfortable with them showing some shapewear shorts should take care of them a bit.

I also had to use the googles to see what this was.

I found model pics and famous actresses with "hip dips" so this seems like something that is just your bone structure?? I would have never been noticed this on somebody and am still sorta confused what the issue is. Just looks like normal hips to me. I'm sure you look amazing in your dress.

Just another body shaming tactic brought on by mass media. I am just focusing on doing exercises to build muscle in that dipping area.. leg lifts out to the side and on all fours like you are a dog peeing on a fire hydrant haha. No one is going to see this but you though. They are all going to be mesmerized

Wow, hip dips is not a problem. Enjoy your dress!

I just googled, and yes, they're hips. All women have them. Still enjoy your dress! I'm sure if you're a woman you already look perfect!!

I had to google it too... Try it on again with shapewear and if you don't feel comfortable then maybe it's not the dress for you. You don't want to feel self-conscious all night. But like everyone said, I'm sure it's something only you notice. Perfect is only a thing in airbrushed magazines.

I don't know what hip dips are, and I don't want to google it! Haha! Your family and friends love you and will think you are beautiful. Don't worry about the little things that make you self conscious...because no one notices!

I had to Google them too. I have them! Not a big deal though. They look like regular hips to me.

Girl, don't let the internet tell you you're supposed to feel badly about having "hip dips". While I totally love and appreciate a good piece of shapewear and wore some on my wedding day, only wear the shapewear because they make you feel confident and comfortable, not because your dress shows off your natural shape. Hips have curves, and "hip dips" are just the flavor of the month.

I'd love to see a pic of you in the dress you chose, I bet you rock it.

Why do people hate their hip dips....

I also have hip dips and I know I HATE mine. Normal spandex takes care of mine under regular dresses

I just learned that I have "hip dips". I'm still not sure if that's supposed to be bad or good...

If you're wearing a form fitting dress and think shapewear would make you more comfortable, go for it. As far as the hip dips goes, I agree with PP that this isn't something anyone else notices (or knows what it is).

If you feel beautiful in your dress, then that's all the matters! Hip dips are normal, and no one will notice but you. But if you're uncomfortable, keep trying different styles until you find one that's perfect!

I never knew this was a thing until today. Rock that dress OP!

Can we see a picture of you in the dress? I'm sure you look fabulous in it but you have to be comfortable too so if you're really that self conscious about it, keep looking.

I have those they are called violin hips. I am also very self conscious of them and specifically picked a dress that was tight up until that part of my body and then began to flair out.

I find any normal shapewear that goes down to your thighs (basically anything that isnt a bikini brief cut but more of a boy short or long) is fine.

ETA_ Also both OGA and Olivia are correct. Violin hips or hip dips are apart of your bone structure/body structure. No amount of weighloss will get ride of them. I had them at my heaviest weight and at my lowest (100 lbs). I still have them now that I am inbetween that.

I have friends who are personal trainers with tons of muscle you have them. THey aren't anything to be ashamed of, but I alwways fear people will think they look like a panty line so I wear shapewear!

I thought they were a good thing ...?

For those who don't know (because I didn't) here's a picture.

Personally I think hip dips are a good thing or at the very least not bad. I looked at pictures both ways. Also, it seems like a new body shaming technique that is a more recent obsession based on article dates.

I remember in high school, a larger girl poked me jokingly and happened to hit my hip bone and then tried to shame me for them being prominent and not covered in fat. No. I shut that down right away. I was a state ranked track runner at the time and very healthy. Just because someone else doesn't have the same body type as you doesn't make one or the other of them better.
