Has your torso gotten any smaller?

I'm assuming you're talking about the waist?  And if so, not really.  Hips have changed slightly but not that much either.

That as well as chest and underbust.

I've been on HRT for 6 months now, and just compared my measurements from when I started.  My underbust went down 1 inch, while my bust measurement stayed the same.  (so I'm not really sure if they're growing, or if everything else around them is just shrinking giving them the illusion of growth   :-\  )  Other than my height, everything else has increased or stayed the same.  But to answer your original question, yes, my torso has gotten a little smaller.  I've been told that my shoulders look smaller too, but I'm not certain that's the truth.

I've been on hormones for between 4 and 5 months now (I didn't note the date I started) and since then my measurements have changed. My underbust has decreased from about 35 1/2" to 34", my waist has increased (ugh!) from 30" to 33" and my hips have increased from about 35" to 37".

Also, recently, I've noticed a change in the contour of my face. It feels different somehow. My arms too have noticeably shrunk a little, and my legs seem fuller. To the average person these changes aren't noticeable, but seeing and living in my body, I definitely notice.

Everyone's bodies react and change differently to HRT (as with any medication) so don't be discouraged if you aren't having similar results.

my under bust went from 40 to 38.  My waist went from a 32 to 27 back to a 30.  :'(   Why the hell did I listen to all those people saying I need to eat , I look sick, blah blah blah.  I like the way I looked then, Now I look like a fat pig.

My hips and behind are a joke.  No change.

My torso has actually gotten larger... but then again I'm some 60lbs heavier now than I was when I started transition....

At first I was worried because I was developing a belly and "Love handles"  :P

But now after nine months I am starting to get a waistline and the body fat seems to have traveled down to my rear and hips and is beginning to form a more fem shape

Of coarse this couldn't happen without exercise

My torso has shrunk a bit.  My underbust has gone from 36" to 32" and I've lost about three inches off my waist ( 32" down to 29" I haven't measured in a while so it might be smaller).  Not too much change to the hips, butt, and thighs which continue to be devoid of fat.  My build has been described as a powder-puff football player; feminine with a kick-your-ass musculature.

I think my underbust was 38" when I started and it's down to 36" or so now.  30-31" waist, 40-41" hips.  Mostly from losing muscle I'd guess.

Big yes from me, though mine is a combination of hormones and diet. I've been on HRT for about a year now, and dieting most of that time.

Over that time I've lost about 25 lbs.  I also officially went from an underbust size 42 to a 38. What's more my chest size used to be a 44. So, yeah, there can be some pretty decent reshaping if you give it a chance. As always, YMMV.

Anybody else?

I'm 39 bust, 34 under bust, 32 waist, 36 hips but I've put on 12lbs since surgery through lack of doing my running and that sucks. I'm now 10stone 12lb. I'm only 5ft 5 1/2 as well so yeah fat has moved around and thighs are large too. I was amazed after surgery that my thighs actually touch each other now. So I need to get back to loosing a few lbs and get back to my previous fitness.
