Dear Lizzie,

If you are young perhaps you haven't yet grown into the riper curves of expectation. Please don't be too impatient as time will fill you in well. If you do have narrow hips from your parents there is little to do about it beyond dressing to accentuate your slender waist. Artificial hip pads are available for the hip deprived younger-older woman and protective hip pads to avoid fracture in the elderly. Stay cool and smile.
