Choosing a Breast size.

[Darcy Rachelle]

Why would u want only one size forms!? GGs r pretty much stuck with what they have. But, since we HAVE to wear forms for a fem figure, why limit yourself?

I have size 6's thru 14's. Altho I'm still learning, I try to match the breast size with the outfit and look I want.
As Katie says, u must balance the large ones, with large pads. Which DOESN'T work well with an extreme corset, unless u want to look like a cartoon character. :brolleyes:

Which, on some occasions, I DO!:D

Wow, now thats great advice. I also called for bra fittings. The first VS said have her come in, the next two said come on in we will fix you up. I thought it was very cool.

[RachelTVG]

So how do you girls choose what size you want?

I'm 5'11" with a slim build and decided on a B cup. It fits my frame and doesn't look extreme.

[Cassia-Marie]

The problem is that if you go for the C or D cup, you may look great from the waist up but have the effect spoilt by slim male hips and bottom. This is a real give-away that you're a CD.

So, strange as it may seem, this is an instance where a full-length mirror is needed. Then you can get the proportion right, padding out the bottom if necessary to match the top. Real girls tend to have bust and hips approximately the same size, and waist about 10" smaller than hips. It's that last proportion that makes for a feminine figure, so don't get fixated on boob size.

I just learned this recently myself. I thought I wanted a C cup after looking at GG's that were around my height/weight. Once I got them (size-8 from TrueKare.com), though, I realized that something just wasn't right. Then it hit me - HIPS! I have no hips. I've since gotten some good hip/butt enhancers and size-6 forms and the combination looks so much better.

Also, go for a bra fitting if you can. I followed several formulas and Web sites where I used my measurements to determine my bra size and they all came up with 40C for the size-8 forms I bought. The 40C bra I bought fit okay but something just wasn't quite right (besides the fact that I felt too large up top). After I got the B-cup forms, I bought a 40B bra and the fit was terrible. The forms didn't fit right and the band still didn't feel right. I got a 38B today and it's perfect! Now I'm gonna have to see if a 38D will work better with size-8 forms... Anyway, it'll save you a lot of time and money if you can get it right from the beginning.

Good luck!

My first bra was a 12A and it looked and felt good. So just about all my bras are 12A's. I have on B cup bra that I rarely ever wear. I also have a couple of AA's and they feel fantastic.

My opinion here as well:

I'm asking the same questions. My plan is to get a B. I may go get fitted for a pair BEFORE ordering though, because NYC is accommodating to these kinds of things. I do not want to have large breasts at all, which means a C is out of the question and even a B may be too large, but then, I'm young enough to get away with it, and tall enough for it to be minimized. My motivation for smaller is better is because I am already tall and irreversibly masculine in the wrong places for CDing, and I do NOT want extra attention. I also don't want to look skanky, which I think really large forms would look on me.

[marny]

C is perfect hon. Shows enough and not too much

Well, I won't keep them out of the question, I guess, but I'm gonna probably still stay smaller in keeping with my androgynous tendencies. I've even taken to wearing mascara every day just because I can.

For me, choosing my breast size was simply a matter of genetics. I come from a family where the majority of females, (siblings, aunts, cousins, nieces), are a D or larger. I wear a 38 DD bra which makes me a natural amongst my family.

[Leanne2]

I have man boobs so I just wear a padded bra. I don't wear forms. I've decided that a B cup looks the most natural on me. My goal is to blend in. Leanne

[marie354]

With me it was a bit of experimentation.
I've tried everything from A's to DD's.
Right now I'm about a B
Sometimes I go up to a C.
Sometimes I'll go down to an A.
I've used "Water Bra's" with good results.

[KarenS]

I actually prefer women with modest to smaller breasts. Additionally, I don't want to be the Guiness record holder contender in any club I walk into so... I prefer a C cup. If, I could reliably find 42B sizes I might be even happier. I find them very hard to find without ordering so I go with a 42C.

[Mistybtm]

:DI have my own very confortable in a 38 c-cup push-up bra :D
before you ask http://www.natureday.com/ it has worked for me.

[Heather_Marie]

I love this question becasue we can have any size that we want when we want I am 5'10" 164 lbs. and I love my 38c's they are the best.

[Intertwined]

The choice was simple for me, all natural, I have gynecomastia (or as I call them "furry boobs"), my natural bra size is a 38C. I am the small one in the family, wife is a 36G and our daughter is a 36DDD.

[dilane]

It's a matter of balance, coupled with what you feel best with.

My dressed measurements are 38, 29, 39, and I have a fairly narrow profile: I'm about 6" thick at the breastbone. I wear a 36c bra, which gives my girls about 2" of protrusion, and that looks pretty natural, and I fit easily on top and down below into size 10 or Medium (with some 8/small garments thrown in now and then).

I think if you have a thick chest, you need more size to make the breasts more noticable. Also, if your upper body is full, your hips and rear need to be in balance. If you want to "body-pass" it helps to have all three measurements in the average female proportions.

Similar to TGMarla's experience, I followed the size chart and order a size 4 for an A cup. I wanted cute and perky. When I got them, they seemed huge! I called the BFS and they were a big help. They happily exchanged them for a size 2. I guess it all depends what you want. If you can't get fitted personally, work with a place that will talk you through it and make exchanges.

[Kelsy]

My upper frame is way to wide and the larger the breast sizethe more out of proportion I look!! I go with a size 38A believe it or not. With my small man boobs and a lil gel padding and the padded bra works perfectly for me , a very smallish B

[CharlotteW]

It's 38C for me. 5'6" and stocky/chubby.

[Mollyanne]

I stand 5-9 w/o heels and am large framed(ugh) I wear a full C cup form w/ corresponding weight and I am very happy and satisfied w/what I have. Keep in mind that certain bra styles are better then others w/regard to wearing with forms.

When I got my first forms I actually bought what I though would look good and not huge; I didn't want to look exagerated. At first I thought I looked ok with a smaller band bra and a C-cup with smaller forms. At the time I was wearing loose fitting clothing and it was ok. I started buying more "fitted" clothing and saw I was way off with my large frame; added to that being plus sized doesn't help. I recently went up to a larger band bra and a D-cup (with larger forms of course). Now I fill out my clothes just right and look/feel allot better.

[Teri Jean]

I have a slender 6-4" frame and although I started out with a C cup the experimenting with different sizes has lead me to a D-cup. I have a set of A-D cup forms so I can go to each as needed. I gives me a chance to experiment and have more fun with my dressing. If I was to get implants which I'm considering it would be the D-cup as this fits my frame size. Keli

I build alot of things and they have to be proportioned right, the same goes with 'building' my cd look, it has to be proportioned to my figure.

Most early cd'ers I feel go abit to large at first, just like alot of us way overdo the makeup when we first start. I stay on the smaller side because then it doesn't attract attention to just one area.

[kellyanne]

It took me a while to get my band and cup right. At first I measured what I thought was my bandwidth - a simple around the torso and went with that.

I would try a C cup and it did not look or feel busty at all.
I ordered 38C forms and they looked and felt very, very small on my chest compared to how I thought I would feel and look .

Pictures of 38C women in mags looked like babes while I looked like Pirate's Treasure:
"" A Sunken Chest ""

( I am 6' 1'' 160lbs so not a big guy but much bigger than most women in height and weight )


after I read bra web sites... I realised...

1- My around the torso measurement was incorrect- I forgot to add the 4 or 5 inches to the measured bandwidth and ..

2- I am a man not a woman - my bone stuctures are larger and wider and different my body was proportionately larger than a woman's so... a C cup looks more likea B cup on my frame while looking full and busty busty on a woman's smaller frame.

I went from up a few sizes in forms and to a larger bandwidth and cup size to a 40D and it all feels and looks much,much better now.
I prefer a bustier feel and look so this method really worked well for me.

For at least 20 years bra fittings were a thorn for me - I probably paid for 50 that I tossed because the were too small, too big etc etc.
I have ben dressing as a woman in some form since age 8 but did not wear a proper bra size until age 40

If you are having problems sizing your breasts and bras -
it never hurts to go to a bra web site and double check your numbers.

In my avatar pic my breasts and bra are the old size 38D bra - the profile page has my new forms of 42D if you want to compare the looks.



.. I hope this can help someone

i have always tried to make my boobs a "C" cup as this is the size i admire. granted 32 c's would look funny but when you get to 36 to 44 this size is probably approprate.

Actually breast / cup size works in such a way that the same size cup will look about the same scale regardless of what band size it is attached to. That is to say that a 32C cup is smaller than a 36C cup, which is smaller than a 44C cup.

Find a cup size you like, B/C is probably good for most of us if we desire to pass - though D's are certainly passible on bigger frames (otherwise, hell get the EEE cup and be the girl you always dreamed about) then find the band size that is comfy, plug in your preferred cup size, and go to town. Literally.

[Slip Affinity]

I have bras ranging in size from 38B to 42C. Actually, I measure a 44 but haven't as yet purchased one but will most likely stick with the B cup when I do since I like the look of the B cup the best. It works for me.
