Height is apparently 4'11" in height, claims 28J.

I was just thinking - getting an accurate height measurement may be tricky on some models, or just for random pics one finds. We're are going to need a datum to use in our estimates.
So, I wonder if arm span to height may give us a reasonable estimate. There are some difficulties with this, not knowing how wide the chest is. But I am just thinking out-loud here.
PS, not sure this will work unless we know how long the arms are though. I'll have a look through some of the images I have to try and find one suitable - some of the XX-Cel ones where the model does a front back and side pose would be ideal I guess.

Yeah. There’s a couple of tricks to this. One is door height (which is usually pretty standard), and another way is if you know the height of someone else in the photo, or landmarks etc. but it’s not an exact science.That's a really good point.
Today I'm going with - 34G

So looking at some of the pics I have on my local making, this one, I think fits the criteria.
That said - I'm guessing 28G. But to be honest, this estimate is all based on my handling of Gs before - no mathematics involved.
I don't think this is OF - forgive me if it is.
My guess is 30J - and what a well fitting brassiere it is.
Margaret it is over to you...
Today I'm going with - 34G
Today I'm going with - 34G
Using the US system/standard
Based on background I am going to guess 5'2" to 5'4" and weight of 120 to 135
She shows some tummy so she is not "skinny" by any stretch. I would guess that a 34" band would be minimum. It is not a "small" torso. Going by US standard G cup looks generous. I would say DD to DDD IE E to F
Today I'm going with - 34GWho is this?
That’s a decent guess HiramNever having to wear a bra myself it surprises me that I can get that close. Maybe a hidden talent I didn't know I had. But we'll see how I go later in this thread. It could be beginners luck.
I'm not sure if smaller (by our standards) makes it any easier to estimate sizing.
So, lets have a go...

Okay then...
Where to start with Cheryl Blossom's sizing - I'm thinking band size 28. But round the bust, I have not idea - gotta be K surely?
Margaret what does your expert eye think?
Margaret, what is your estimation for Yungfreckz aka Missy? ??? :)

I don’t think she’s a 38 back. Much too slim for that. More like a 32 or 34 back. With that in mind, I’m thinking maybe a 32G or a 34F/FF.
(Bear in mind all my size estimations are UK sizes).

Are there any other photos of her out there? Perhaps wearing a bra?
28 back seems a little bit small for someone Witt such big boobs - it would crush her. She’s almost definitely beyond K cup. You’d be into L or M, I think. Possibly something like a 30KK/L. Difficult to say for sure though - but my goodness, her boobs are absolutely huge, pendulous and low set.

She is not "slim" not even close to what used to pass for slim, not in the US anyway.
She has some tummy showing, would have in the right jeans have more than a little "muffin top"
She looks like what we would have called a "big boned girl" She is much to big torso wise to get into a 32 band size even 34 without REALLY stretching it out. "Digging in" type stretching.
Based on the the bed in front of her and the mirror behind her I am guessing 5'7" give or take an inch and between 125 and maybe 140 LBS.
Based on 50 years in the US of "Observation" and comparison, buying bras for women, raking them bra shopping at the likes of Victoria Secret checking the tags after/while taking them off based on traditional standards or "charts" that were used by the likes of Playtex for years and years and not any "new" methods where seemingly any woman with anything more than just nipples is a D cup or bigger and tiny band sizes rule, if I had to guess I would say she is a "vintage/classic" pick your term 38DD
She’s definitely on the bigger side, although the photos vary so muchI've just been having a look round and you're right, her pictures do vary a lot. I don't think she is as big as the picture I posted seemed to indicate. but still a very big woman.

28 back seems about right - but 28DD seems a bit too small. If she’s a 28 back, then her cup size is probably G - perhaps even GG or HH.
The main issue here is that she has implants (from what I can tell), which don’t follow a natural side-tissue shape and curve. Bras have side panelling in them to accommodate the skin/tissue that flows from your breasts and under your arms - whereas when implants are “installed”, that tissue can take months or years to develop, if ever) - so the bra cups don’t conform to the natural bra size the woman would be. It tends to be a mix/match scenario.
She would almost certainly be a 28 back, but it would be a case of trying out quite a few cup sizes and styles to get the right one - but definitely not DD (which is practically flat on a 28 back).

Yep. Exactly. It dispels the myth of DD = huge. It’s all down to a combination of things; old manufacturing processes, where bra sizes and cups were standardised across a range (and didn’t go beyond DD). But also, modern bra sizes (post 2006-ish) are a combination of the material that goes into the back band and the material required to encase the boobs in the cups - so, for example, someone with a small back band, but who has small boobs, could still be in the D+ range, because it’s all about the cup material length being added to the back band material length (and the difference between the two). However, someone with the same back size, but who has bigger boobs, is going to need more cup material (but not more band material), so the cup size increases.
And then you get into bigger backs (more band material) and bigger boobs - but not necessarily needing bigger cups (and vice-versa).
In the image attached, both of the bras have a 30 band; the smaller bra is a B cup, and the larger is a G cup. A woman wearing a 30G has the exact same circumference around her back as a woman wearing the 30B, but they have quite significantly different sized boobs. (Also, note the lining/reinforced panel on the bigger bra cup - bigger boobs need much more support in the cups).
For clarity: the band size is the ribcage size and the letter is the cup size - which refers to how many inches larger the bust is than the band size (mostly).

You’ll be made to recite your bra size
tables.
Okey dokey then...
An ill fitting bra - some hanging up behind. Going on my gut feeling - I'd say 28K. I think this lady would be a challenge Margaret if you did a real fitting as I think her boobs will hang fairly low.
This is Allegra Cole and she is 5'6" tall and 155 pounds sans boobs. What bra size do you think she is Margaret?Again, with implants this big, we’re in the realm of the unknown, but whatever size she is, it’s bound to be in the L/M category. Or - she would have to get custom bras made. I can’t imagine there’s an off-the-shelf (pardon the pun) bra that she could go out and purchase.
The next customer in Margaret's fitting room is:
Do you have any other photos?I do indeed.

Todays customer - I was thinking, maybe smaller could be trickier. My guess is 28A, but I'd be interested in what Margaret thinks?
Aubade make really lovely lingerie - very expensive though!It does look like quality from the pics.
I thought this lady's size could a tricky estimate - not sure how tall she is, or the thickness of her back.
I like what she is wearing though.
Posting this one as I do have confirmation of the size she is wearing, literally a picture of the tag.
Spoiler - its big...

Difficult to say without knowing her height etc, but she doesn’t look tall. The cups are going to be up in the big category, but it all depends on back size. Possibly in the KK+ region. I wouldn’t be surprised if she was something like a 30LL or a 32LL.
One thing I will say is that bra looks a decent fit (maybe needing to go up a cup size) which tells me it’s probably in the K/KK category. Let’s got for 30LL.
Who is she?
(Edit: I revised my thinking on this one to 30LL)

Her name is Tamara Dido. She has a thread here in the General Discussion section of this forum. :)
For those playing along at home. Here's the reveal. 80M - not sure what that is in real money?
Like you said though Margaret - it does look a fairly good fit, especially for a bra that large.
Four rows of fasteners - are there normally that many?
You are unerringly accurate.
The bra was a gift from a fan and is the wrong size. The model herself says she is a UK 36L US 36P which was roughly where you were heading until the bras actual size confused things.
you should start on the widest setting of the hooks/eyes, and over time, you work your way in to the tighter setting to prolong the bra’s life. Of course, most women don’t know this, and instead wear the bra on a really tight or really loose setting for comfort - when, in fact, the back band is supposed to feel tight on (if it’s the correct size, that is), as the back band does 80% of the work in supporting your boobs.I've seen the usage of small extenders (that isn't the right term) for the back band that women get, so when the band gets tight tight they don't have to get a new bra, they just add a small section.

I didn't know that about the back band - you'd think it was the straps doing all the support. Although thinking about it I can see it.
Today's challenge Margaret is:
I've been thinking how to make this challenge a little bit more difficult - I haven't come up with a concrete idea yet, but I have something in mind.
That said - here's today's lovely:
This lady looks really slim in the back, so we’re probably down in the 26/28 back size.Yeah that's what I thought on back band - I must admit I'd have been totally wrong on the cup size though. I thought it was a nice picture.

How about this one - side view and with clothes on.
Same lady, this time no clothes.
One more to assist the estimation.
I have a 38JJ bra in the cupboard (don't ask) and JJ seems like to good estimate. I know 38JJ and 34JJ aren't the same cup size but its all I have to go on.
Try this one of Anastasia Lux - there are some measurements of her on some website, but I wonder whet you think?
Thanks for the estimates on my latest posts - I have a new candidate. I think she is natural, but to honest I'm not sure with this lady.
Here we have a fan fav Linsey Dawn McKenzie - and some perspective.

This is an interesting one, because I know of this woman. I can remember a lot about her in the UK newspapers in the mid-90s. They promoted her as 36HH at the time - which was probably the size she was given using the +4 technique at Marks and Spencer. A 36HH sounds big, and I suppose it is in relative terms, but she’s not a 36HH (and, as I understand it, she had a reduction and then went back and got implants), so things will be different now.
In this photo, she’s about 5’2”, based on the tape measurement and fairly broad shouldered - but still slim (I am super-jealous of jus how slim!). So, I’m thinking she’s in the 30-32 back region, with a J-K cup. I’m thinking 32J/JJ - she has very similar projection and bodyshape to someone I know, and she’s a slightly bigger 32K, so I reckon 32JJ is probably about right (depending on the bra).

She's 5'3" tall, so that was a good approximation just by looking at that leg measurement. :)

It’s weird isn’t it? I’m 5’4” - and, in my mind, she seems way taller than I am - but it’s down to a lot of factors (not least of which is how they tend to photograph models; from slightly lower angles to make them seem tall and statuesque): she wears heels a lot, and is often standing with models of a similar or smaller height. She has mega-long thigh bones - which I have too (top secret hint for dating women with long thigh bones: doggie-style sex is often uncomfortable!) - and, models always arch their backs to project out their chest, and also tighten their calves to add another inch. But it was easy enough to figure out a rough height with the measuring tape there in the photo. Her bra size is a little more tricky - but if she was standing in front of me, my first guess would be 32JJ - but I’d have to try her with a few different bras/brands to be sure. She looks low set, slightly west-east, so a full cup or a balconette would work well (or, *would* have worked well - I don’t know what would work now).
I really like your dissertations that you give and your sharing of knowledge of women.I agree completely. Its why I prefer to talk to women and not men. Not only do that have a larger vocabulary, they also have many interesting perspectives on things - not less their bodies. I'm a man, I'm never going to have a baby or menopause - and it is fascinating to hear about things I'll never experience.
Houston I think we've got a problem!
This lady seems to be wearing the wrong size... I think its going to be a tough one for Margaret as we can't see her back - but cup size wise, I'm think the bra is a F, but she is now a J.
Are there other photos of her?Nah its the only one I have - I just thought it was apt for this thread. Probably one of old bras.
Solomia Maievska. I can't make my mind up on her size. Not sure on this one.
She can be seem in motion here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3p_OiD64eA (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3p_OiD64eA)
(She’s wearing the wrong band size in they video - you can see it riding up in the middle of her back - she needs to go up a band size and down a cup size).I did notice that when I looked at the video again. There are a few others of her modeling lingerie for Jasmine in Kyiv.

One thing about this video that struck out at me was how the people at the nearby tables weren't even looking at such beautiful women strutting down the runway. ??? ::)The men were sitting with their wives - and looking would be verboten.

Today's customer in Margaret's boutique - I think she's a G cup going on my my own estimation.
the band size is what will determine it though.Good point - this is the past of bra sizing that always feels counterintuitive to me. I wonder who (man or woman) came up with the system of bra sizing we have today.
Another fan fav for consideration - Rachel Aldana.
Maybe not the easiest pic to estimate - but I wonder what you think Margaret?
more like a 34L or 34KK now. In truth, she’s probably into the realm of custom brasGoodness gravy - and expensive I guess. Any idea how much a custom bra would cost?

I guess these are quite a common size and shape for many women?
I find it quite hard to judge her size, I think I've been looking at large for so long I've lost my yardstick.
Not cheap. Some people do their ownActually make one from scratch, or adapt one?
but a proper, fitted custom bra would be £150+That does seem a lot.

I love pics with something to give context to her size.
Yeah - make their own. Although, it’s really difficult.I'll bet it is. I've only used a sowing machine a couple of times, can't imagine how you'd sow a bra.

I think I’ve looked at Rachel before - but she seems to have changed size a bit since then (slightly bigger in the frame). I had previously estimated her to be something like a 32KK, but I think she’s probably more like a 34L or 34KK now. In truth, she’s probably into the realm of custom bras - or wearing slightly bigger band sizes to hold her boobs in the cups. It can’t be easy finding well-fitting bras, for sure. It’s important to recognise that she’s reallly short (probably about 5’2” or 5’3” - and really slim in the back, so her boobs naturally look much bigger. But she’s definitely on the KK+ side.
And, a really beautiful woman too. I really admire her.

Rachel is actually 5 feet 6
Just to mix it up a bit - a lady with a bigger band size.
I was way off with my estimations of my previous pic.
Difficult to say, as I can’t see her from the front (and she’s wearing a basque/bustier that’s too small in the cups).I wish had some more pics that would give you a better view. I find it quite hard to find suitable pictures that would give you a datum.
We’re probably talking a 36/38 back - possibly 40, with F/FF cups. But I really couldn’t say with any degree of certainty.40 would have been my estimate, but it is hard to know when we don't know her height.

Todays customer - her chest is slightly obscured, but there is a kitchen top behind that may give a hint to her height. I have no idea what that thing is she is holding.
Naked ironing. Terrible idea. I’ve burned my boobs on hair straighteners and also singed myself with the clothes iron too. Nasty business.Yeah must be. Its like when you see pics of nude cooking. I do make my first coffee in the morning with no clothes on. I was (recently) making a coffee half asleep, when I splashed some boiling water on my gentleman's area!
PS I like the look of that dress.She is in the UK I think going on the plug sockets. I wonder where she got it.
Talking 32F - maybe ?
These two recent women have almost exactly the same shape and frame as me (I’m a 32FF though - depending on the manufacturer).You must have a great figure Margaret.

Difficult to say - although, those look like implants?
She’s in the big territory - not height-wise - she seems short(ish). But she has a very slim back and not terribly broad shoulders, so she’s definitely a low back size - and proportionately, big cup size, so I’m going to estimate in the 32K/KK territory.
Did we do Carmen Sandi, yet? Says she’s a 36M cup.

There was a time when I thought I had a great figure. Probably not so much now. Getting too old!You made think about something a female friend said to me once. She said that when she was in her prime, when getting ready to go out, she often admire herself in the mirror. From her expression; I assumed in an erotic sort of way.
My principle has always been that if you get the band size right, the rest will follow.Good advice.

She had a good body - I guess a good body is attractive, even for the person who owns it? This has never been my own experience - I guess the same for the majority of men.My principle has always been that if you get the band size right, the rest will follow.Good advice.
So today I thought - side boob - can I see a mark on her skin where the band went? My guess is 34H (if that is actually is a size)
I think all people (women in particular) have difficult relationships with their bodies.I agree. Certainly all the female partners I've had have to a certain degree. I have female friends that I will make a point of complementing, whether it be the new hairstyle or that bit of weightloss. It is what I am thinking anyway. Personally, (and I like to think all men think like this) as long as they are healthy, I'm more than happy with how they look.
Bit of a test post.

I like to see a woman in lingerie, and my jaw has been on the floor a number of times. But I think it is hard to convey the sense of appreciation without seeming seedy. I like the aesthetic of a woman's body, it isn't all sexual.
I will try to find some better pictures - I was thinking of animated pics - maybe that would help.

Regarding compliments to women, I’ve found that when men compliment something about you that isn’t about your body, it’s more pleasant and less leery or creepy. Saying something like “have you changed your hair? It looks great.” Or “cool trainers” or “I love your jacket” - are better than a compliment like “your figure looks amazing” or “you have incredible legs” or something like that. Alternatively, just say nothing - just be nice.

My experience has taught me that if any body part that women don't seem to get creeped out so much is if you compliment it, is their faces. Yes, boobs, butts, legs, etc can alienate the ladies unless it is in a private, intimate situation but in public situation, if you say something like, "Good morning, things must be going great, you've got such a beautiful smile!" the ladies will usually say, "Yes, thank you!" and the rest of the day will go well with her. In other words, be a gentleman. :)

Exactly. Before you speak, you should ask yourself the question “would I say this to a man?”
Saying something like “have you changed your hair? It looks great.” Or “cool trainers” or “I love your jacket” - are better than a complimentI said "I like you wearing those trainers" just a few days ago to a female friend. I may have thinking 'your boobs look great' but like you says, it isn't always comfortable to hear that. Even for someone you know well.
I have had a woman compliment me on the colour of my lips - and it did make me feel slightly uncomfortable.
What brand and color lipstick do you use? ??? ::) ;) ;Dha ha.
Another test post.
her boobs bulging out of the sides of the bra (cups are too small),Oh yeah, just seen that. If I was a woman, and I had to wear a bra - the one thing I'd want it to be would be comfortable. That can't be comfortable - although it she probably wore it for esthetic reasons.

Today I thought I'd try something different.
Guess the size from the bra not the boob - not sure if this'll work or not.
It’s hard to say, because I can’t see the total length of the band. However, it looks to be about 24-26 inches (about 66cm), which is not big at all. Maybe in the 28F category?I thought this would be more of a challenge - maybe a little too difficult to be honest. one clue is the band is 36.

Not seeing the band makes it difficult, because bras are made in a similar way to cars; different sizes can re-use up to about 80% similar components. (Similar cup sizes can have different bands and vice versa).
If it’s a 36 band, it’s possibly a 36D, possibly E - but who knows. It doesn’t look large in the cup for a bra if it’s dimensions.
The second bra - I have one of these (Panache Tango II). Looks much bigger in the cups, so possibly a G cup? Maybe something like 34G?
I’m enjoying this, but it’s a bit like trying to identify the exact model of a car from the hood ornament.

I may have asked this before, but are these all your own bras? If so, that’s impressive. How many do you have? Also, what do you do with them and where do you store them?Yeah all mine. All donated over the years. I keep them in an old rucksack in a upstairs room. I don't do anything with them as such, it is just something I started collecting. Once you get one you seem to get another. Once I'd got interested in boobs bras and lingerie, I really wanted to collect some of my own.
Okay, my first contribution to this thread.
Ellie is a statuesque 5 ft 11, so her boobs must be pretty massive. I always thought she was nearer to 5 ft 5 or 6, it blew me away when I found out she was so tall.

It is a good question on how many, I'm not sure - I will count, probably 10 or 12 I guess.I will post another challenge tomorrow.

Thank you. Big bra that. Who donated it?All my collection has come from women I've known, or know. That one is in the best condition and hardly worn - some I have are quite threadbare as they are castoffs.
I’m heading out for the day, so let me think about this one. I vaguely recognise that bra.Have a great day - still quite mild.

I’m going to guess a 32G for this bra.Its a 34F.
It’s all to do with the miracle of Lycra and elasticated fabric lining.This is one of my favourites bras. I think the material and lace has a lot to do with it.
and their sizing was way off on one of the brasI find this an issue with some of the clothes I buy - jeans in particular. But lots of things I buy don't seem to have a consistent sizing.

What is it you like about the bra?First off, I'd just like to say I am not a cross-dresser or anything. I like them as they are nice garments. Tactile materials and nice colours. Yeah, I guess there is a small amount of sexual fantasy - especially the 38JJ ha ha. But mostly it isn't about that.
TU is Sainsbury’s.Ah cheers, how are Sainsbury’s clothes?
This looks a bigger bra all round, so I’m going to have a guess at 38FF.

I've had this discussion with female friend a number of times - and for me, it is that women have much more variety of clothes and styles. Look at any office, the guys wear suits and the ladies wear all sorts of styles and designs. As a man I feel a bit hard-done-by to be honest.
So although I don't cross-dress, if society allowed me to dress differently, I may well feel like doing that if the mood took me.

Of course, I understand. I hope it didn’t sound as though I was suggesting that.
I just find it fascinating that not only are some men fans of big boobs - but they are also fans of bras (or lingerie in general). I totally get the whole thing about the choices women have in regards to fashion/footwear/underwear over the limited choices men have. Sometimes, there’s too much choice, and sometimes it can lead to frustration and upset. Mostly because not all women are shaped the same, and you can get a false impression of how something might look on you, compared to someone else (or the model that inspired the choice). Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. It’s really depressing when it doesn’t (I’ve cried real tears after ordering an outfit and finding that I look a mess in it) - but it’s truly magical when it does work; with the right bra set, the right dress/combo outfit and the right shoes or boots - when the shapes all combine, as a woman, you feel confident, sexy and desired.
Of course, I understand. I hope it didn’t sound as though I was suggesting that.Ha ha, no, just me telling myself probably just in case!
I just find it fascinating that not only are some men fans of big boobs - but they are also fans of bras (or lingerie in general)I think I always have been - but society moulds us in certain ways. Pink for girls and blue for boys. It wouldn't surprise me at all if there are a lot of men who think the same as me.

I'm heterosexual - my other hobbies are pretty normal for a man. But I also appreciate pretty and stylish clothes. I find no contradiction in liking both. I've also had a go at cutting women's hair - its creative and I like that aspect of it.
I do find women find it unexpected when I show an interest in what they wear and how their hair looks. Mind you, a six hour tour round clothes shop isn't something I particularly enjoy.
I think you are spot on about the quantity of choice women have with clothes. Winter and summer outfits for a start - as a man I pretty much wear the same but with more layers. Actually I think it is easier to choose clothes for other people than yourself. I'm often told things I buy don't suit me - and to be honest they are right.
I need to get some more photos - so in the interim - here's my latest challenge. I think I know what size she'd likely be, but what do you think?
My first request, Margaret. The lovely Valentina. She's grown steadily over the years. She's about 5'4". Average weight. This is the best recent pic, sorry no bikini shots (she has many but older or not the right angle). I'd say she is at least a 34JJ/KK; what say you?

She’s fond of wearing a push-up bra that’s two sizes too small for her - which makes her boobs look bigger. They’re not that big, and she’s pretty small and slight in the frame. I’d say 28FF-30F.This is, to be honest a superpower women have. The humble bra can be used to such effect - it is remarkable.
Oh, and she’s really stunning. Tell me more about her!
Edit/update: now that I’ve seen more pics of her (on Instagram), I’m more inclined to think she’s somewhere Around 32H/HH, maybe 32J (at a push). She does a lot of work to make her boobs sit high on her torso and push out.

Her username is Lali957.
Okay then.
I have the size, but the tag is so worn I have no idea where this bra was purchased.
A moulded bra. These are always tricky. But it looks like it could be a 34-36D/E maybe? Looks like it could be by George (Asda) or something like that.I have a couple of moulded bras.
So for today - something different. A front fastening bra.
The tags are worn, so I have no idea what the size of this actually is.

You’d be able to get a rough size by comparing it to one of your other bras.That's a good idea.
I’ve had one or two of these front-fastening bras over the years. They’re usually terrible.When I first saw a front fastener, I though, yeah that look better. But then I've never had to use one - so interesting to hear your experiences. I always wondered why bras fasten at the back rather than the front. When I seem women putting on bras, there seems to be one or two techniques Put bra on back to front, fasten at front and twist to correct alignment, and put arm through. Or fasten at back and put arm through.
Same with strapless bras - so difficult to get one that works well.They do look uncomfortable - are they better for the bigger or smaller bust?
One of my favs here - love the look of this one - love the material.
The brand is a well known fashion retailer here in the UK - sadly no longer with us. Can you guess the size and the brand?

They’re usually terrible.When I first saw a front fastener, I though, yeah that look better. But then I've never had to use one - so interesting to hear your experiences. I always wondered why bras fasten at the back rather than the front. When I seem women putting on bras, there seems to be one or two techniques Put bra on back to front, fasten at front and twist to correct alignment, and put arm through. Or fasten at back and put arm through.
I still marvel when I see a woman take her bra off under her clothes - it is like watching magician get out of a straightjacket.Same with strapless bras - so difficult to get one that works well.They do look uncomfortable - are they better for the bigger or smaller bust?
Looks like a moulded BHS bra maybe?Not bad - 36C - the retailer was Topshop.
Possibly, 36D or 34E?
a common way is to put the bra on backwards (hook/eye fasteners at the front, cups pointing downwards at the back) then swivel it aroundIt is a great technique - make perfect sense once you see it being done
It’s a magic trick only females know 😘Its how you get your arms out that fascinates me.
The engineering principles behind bras is that the back band should do about 80% of the supporting,Do they ever use those sticky pads that attach to the skin for some extra support?
When the evening is over though, boy it’s a relief to get the thing off.Indeed - or an underwired bra I guess?
It’s like a little help forum all by itselfIt is - even though most men have wives girlfriends - having a bit of extra knowledge is really helpful. I have advised a woman about sizing - certainly how to measure correctly. As we know women can often go up and down in size. But the quizzical look you get when mention it - maybe I shouldn't have offered to do the actual measure! ha ha
and you guys are all so polite and respectful. I don’t often read other threads,It has always been pretty good here. There is nothing that puts me off a forum more when people start being rude to others. There is no need for it. There have been some great contributors over the years on here that have disappeared for some reason or another. And I often forget that there is in fact a main site to this forum, I never go to at all.
I should add that I’m also happy to answer personal queries via DM - and, don’t be shy to ask me anything you like. I’m not easily offended, so fire away; bra-related, boob-related, sex-related, whatever-related - or just life in general.That may make a great separate thread in the off topic area of the forum.
Another two point challenge.
One point for the brand. And one point for the size.

Oooh. Bigger bra. Possibly a 38E?You're a tad off on this one - 38 band was spot on. But it is a B cup.
I don’t recognise the pattern or material, so I’m gonna lose a point for brand.It was a tough question for you to identity the brand from the picture. I like the quality of this bra - I'd be happy to buy this it I needed to wear one.
I don’t know how to do the quote thing properly.Its a nerdy answer. Basically I manually edit the code when I do a reply. The little buttons above the text box when you do a reply give you some functions like quote but I prefer to do it manually.
In truth, prolonged wear of a bra throughout the day generally becomes uncomfortable - even in the most well-fitting of bras. They dig in, they mark your skin and theyYeah I've seen that on the under-boobs of women - I can just imagine how sore it gets in that area.
Okay - today's challenge. Interesting colours - looks more like a bikini top to me - but I don't think it is.
Only a couple of bras left in my collection - I need to take some more pics. I'm going to have to work out which ones I haven't done yet.

This *looks* like a bikini, but I think it’s a bra. Difficult to tell, as the back band isn’t long (but is bound to stretch) and the cups don’t look massive. Possibly a 32-34E?36D - but a tricky one for sure. Same size as 34E so you were spot on.

I have to say, if you were a 36D or a 34E, this probably still wouldn’t be a decent fit - partly because these bras are/were manufactured in huge batches with almost no testing or consumer feedback - it’s a vicious circle.Some of the clothing I buy can be quite variable in size - but I don't have to wear anything that has to fit quite as critically as a bra. And with the crossover of some sizes, buying a bra has to be a bit of trial an error to get it right.
As for browsers - I use chrome in an incognito tab, but the whole authentication issue seems random.I normally use Firefox, and so far haven't had any issues with authentication. I will try Chrome next time I log in and see if I get the same as you. This website has been problematic for sometime. I would try another browser if you can.

I was going to ask you about Crazy Beach on youtube - not sure if you've come across that channel. It is in Russian, but you can use the auto translate feature part of closed captioning.

Margaret, do you know what the biggest cup size is available online with a 40 inch band?

Hi Charade,
You can probably order a 40M from a few manufacturers/brands, and possibly some slightly bigger cup sizes. However, it might work better to get your actual measurements and see if there’s bras with oversized cups that would work for you. Am I right in understanding that you
wear prosthetics or “fake” boobs - and you’re looking for bras that will fit your bodyframe and allow for as big a cup as you can get?
If so, DM me and we can do some proper calculations to get your correct band size etc and take it from there. I’d be glad to help.

Yup. So far I’ve found a 40P, unless I order a nursing bra, which I think I’ve seen as an S or T

I was just thing about what you said about Russian bras and there design - bra design has changed over the years presumably, 1960's Playtex bras always looked a bit different with the pointy cups - not comfortable?
but the big development was probably LycraAnd on that - sports bras, are they the future?

Back to the challenge - I am curious about some celebs. I'm not sure if you've covered Kelly Brook, I suspect you have, but I wonder if you could have another estimate of her size, especially in recent years?
One other I'm curious about is Faith Brown.
Just wondering if you can approximate a proper size for this young lady. She is 5'3" tall, I believe. :)
She claims she's a 32K but...Probably looking more like 32FF - maybe 30H. I’m a 32FF, and I’d say my boobs look bigger.
I agree.She claims she's a 32K but...Probably looking more like 32FF - maybe 30H. I’m a 32FF, and I’d say my boobs look bigger.
Well, if the internet is to be believed, Kelly Brook is a 34FF - but I’m not so sure.I must admit, I didn't think she would be a 23FF by now. I'm interested in your current estimate, and here I'm going to show my ignorance of bra sizes. If she was a 34 band - can she also be a 30 band? Am I right in thinking the extra cup size adds to the band - or something like that?
Faith Brown - gosh, I haven’t heard of her in years. She was never off the tv when I was younger. She must be nearly 80 by now? It’s tough to say, but I’d reckon in the 34J category.Yes she must be getting on now - but she was one first woman I remember seeing on TV that had a big bust. I think I've always been curious about her size.
As for Sports bras - I’m not sure they’re the future. They do their job well, but they are torture devices.Oh no. How are they uncomfortable?

Today may I ask about MrsPJHaverstock.
Does that make sense?Yes it does - and really helpful. The ability of the band to stretch is something I'd not factored in.
Let me have a look at your new lady... She’s got a big frame and big, low hanging boobs - I’m thinking she’s in the 36J/JJ category - possibly K.I have another photo which shows her chest at different angle - I think she looks a little smaller here.

That changes things slightly. She is big(ish) in the frame, but her boobs are about the same size as me (32FF), so perhaps she’s more like a 34G or 36GG.It is interesting how it is hard to interpret a woman size from one angle. I should try to give you some multiple pics if I can.

Okay then - same woman 10 years apart - how has she grown?

Weight gain? ::)
She looks like she’s gone from something like a 30E or F to a 36G possibly a 38G. but I wouldn’t be surprised if she was wearing a 40 band.Merci beaucoup.

So today I thought I'd go for a smaller lady - my guess is A, but maybe B - but what do you think?
Love her flat stomach btw.
She could easily be a 24E/FF. the days of A and B are pretty much gone nowWow, I had no idea. Fascinating stuff Margaret.
they’re largely for teens and bigger women who have almost no boobs.Out of curiosity - at what size does not wearing a bra matter. Is there a size where not wearing a bra is feasible, just desirable - or does wearing a bra become essential for normal life when not at home?

kinda find the whole thing fascinating and a little bit nuts. ;) ;DSame here - glad I don't have to wear one though.

Keeping the smaller sizes going - here is today's lady. I had a size in mind, but after what you've said above - I'm not entirely sure.

Reading this surprised the hell out of me and it just goes to show how crazy bra sizes are. No wonder I constantly read how the majority of women are wearing the wrong size bra and are ill fitting. I kinda find the whole thing fascinating and a little bit nuts. ;) ;D

You can wear one if you like. I certainly won’t judge 😘Ha ha if I had bigger boobs maybe - I have no boobs at all.
Apologies. Authentication issues (again) which lasted almost two days.I wish I could think of something to try next to fix this - I will have a think.
I think it’s generally always important to wear a bra, for various reasons (support, comfort, style etc), but also for breast tissue health tooI always assume wearing a bra helps sagging over time. Someone at the door - finish this later.

Also, bra sizes (band + cup) is kind of a proportional equation (which doesn’t always make sense, admittedly) - but it’s not always about *volume*, it’s about size, and fit. Does that make any kind of sense?I am trying to get my head round the concept.

That said - I think we need some more pictures help me understand how this all works.
Okay then - here is a picture of four ladies. So the challenge is - which one is the largest and why did you come to that conclusion?
In any case, they’re all very slim, and they’re in the range 24-28 and D-F in cups (give or take).I thought that pic would be a tough one. They are still way bigger than I'd have guessed.

So on to today's challenge - I have a couple more pics, albeit of this young lady laying down, which may or may not help. Actually on that - what is the best position to get a good estimate - I assume standing, but any other pose that could help? Looking at the pics of women on their backs, you get a sense of the volume of their boobs.
I’m in a 28H/HH mood for this lady.I'm always in a 28HH mood! ha ha.
I’m in a 28H/HH mood for this lady.I'm always in a 28HH mood! ha ha.
Here's the same woman but horizontal.

Yep. Definitely in the 28HH range.
When doing a proper measurement, you tend to take overbust (tight and snug), underbust (tight and snug), leaning bust and lying bust. The leaning bust (ie. Leaning forward eitg your boobs perpendicular to the floor) is to get a sense of volume and likely projection, and the lying measurement is to get a sense as to whether the boobs sit against the breastplate or if they “splay” out west-east. But in truth, you can get a decent idea of bra size with underbust and overbust alone.

Well, I would/want to measure busty young ladies not because I want to fit them a bra but because a perv .... er .... breast connoisseur like me simply wants to get an opportunity to fondle their breasts. ;D I'm incorrigible. ;) ;D

Haha. The funny thing is, boobs are boobs. You get used to it. I haven’t done “professional” fitting for some time (I still help friends etc - and the odd time people pass my details on as a contact to give advice), but it’s not something you get “turned on” by. Sure, boobs are nice etc - but when you’re dealing with a fitting, it’s all very practical - and, you have to take into account that the fitee is likely to be nervous and shy - so it’s always about making sure they feel comfortable, that their privacy isn’t being invaded - and that they don’t feel as though they are being grabbed or handled. Usually, any touching etc is all around the periphery (underwires, side panels, back band, cup fringes etc) - and rarely touching their actual boobs. I always encourage the women (and - sometimes, the men being fitted) to be the one positioning and moving their own boobs - so that they get used to it and are much more confident doing it themselves.
but it’s not something you get “turned on” by. Sure, boobs are nice etc - but when you’re dealing with a fitting, it’s all very practicalI was having a similar conversion recently - context is everting. I'd not get sexually excited doing a bra fitting - maybe later I'd reflect on feeling or seeing such nice boobs, but not at the time. I have done a trim on a woman's pubic hair (long story) - and I was focused the whole time on doing a good job. I never though about sex at all.

This also reminds me when a relative used to cut my hair when I was a teen - she was a busy lady and I could feel her boobs rubbing the back of my neck. I never got turned on to it - although it did feel kinda nice.
So today's challenge - I was thinking of getting this, or something similar for a friend. I wonder what you think of Wolf and Whistle lingerie Margaret?
https://wolfandwhistle.co.uk/ (https://wolfandwhistle.co.uk/)
Lingerie (as a gift from men) tends to fall into two categories; something they’d like to see you wearing, and something that’s generally not comfortable or practical.So true. Although in this case it was something she chose herself. We'd been talking lingerie and she popped put her phone and said she nearly bought this.
It’s hard to find a balance and get something nice though. Who is it for, and what size do they normally wear.She may not have thought about the practicality - which is odd as she's bought lingerie before. Size wise. she is losing weight, so I'd have to double check what her stats are now. Size is the dilemma - what size to buy. They are relatively inexpensive items so I may just get something - I'll have to get her to check her size for me (or maybe I should do it). The last datum I have was 38G for her bra, and 16 for dress size.
I can speak from experience here - my husband (in the distant past) often bought me totally impractical stuff from places like Ann Summers - which was usually something overly sexy that was difficult to get into (and out of) and was almost always something I’d never wear day-to-day.This is why we love to get your experience of women's clothing. I'm much knowledgable after reading your posts.
And, any woman I know will tell you if they’re wearing nice underwear on a night out, they feel much more sexy than something designed for a porn shoot.Yep, she said the same thing - I think her motivation is getting back in to shape and feeling good. Now she feels like looking good and feeling sexy is the next step.
Love this thread, great idea Margaret!
Perhaps it's too big a challenge for one post, but I am really curious what the sizes of the 90s legends really were.

Is this picture better Margaret?
Have you thought about Scantilly? Plenty to choose from in 38GI'm just having a look now - wow some really nice gear. Not sure now if to buy something or send her the link... Still got to check the size.

Today I'd thought I'd post a side boob for Margaret to have a look at. Something about this shot makes me think it'll be good for estimating.
Are there any other photos?I have one that I thought may be the same woman - but taking another look this morning I'm not so sure. I'll post it anyway.

Goodness - J or K.
As far as I am aware I don't think you've been asked to fit the legend that is Milena Velba thus far
That sounds about right!
Here's a bigger challenge Abbi Secraa, who has always to my knowledge kept her bra size a closely guarded secret.
I was thinking about the most useful single photo for Challenge Margaret - and then I thought a mirror selfie.
I shall take a punt on this one - based on Margaret's previous estimates - I'm thinking 28DD?
That sounds about right!
Here's a bigger challenge Abbi Secraa, who has always to my knowledge kept her bra size a closely guarded secret.
Whatever her bra size is, it’s not in the off-the-shelf category; it’s almost definitely a custom size, or modified bras. Based on some other images I’ve seen of her, I’m thinking M+, but back size is hard to determine - possibly 34/36.
Let’s just say she has very, big boobs - and I’d imagine it’s very, very difficult getting well-fitting, suitable support bras.
That sounds about right!

Wow that's huge!
Here's another blast from the past, Nicole Peters.
That's sounds about right I think at the time she as quoted as what felt like a massive 32J.
From roughly the same time how about Julia Miles?
That's a bigger cup size than I expected, hopefully I'll get better.🤣
How about Diane Poppos

As far as I am aware I don't think you've been asked to fit the legend that is Milena Velba thus farThat is because posting ANY photos of that model from that site on this Forum is strictly forbidden.

Margaret, does this photo help you estimate what her bust size is? ??? :)
Margaret, does this photo help you estimate what her bust size is? ??? :)
Answered this on her thread:
Looks like she’s roughly a 29” back, but more like 30”.
I previously said: “Given her height and frame, I'd suspect she's in the 30K, 30KK or 30L category. Possibly 32K, as she looks broad.”
I’d be definitely thinking 30L, as her bras tend to look a bit tight on her and her centre gore pushes out slightly - so she’s clearly struggling to get bras in her size. So, a 30L would be about right.

Keep up Mr Solvegas, or I’ll be asking you to see me after class.
Possibly 28E/F?I'm still discombobulated how big these ladies actually are.
Will this view of Anya Zenkova from the back help determine/confirm her bra size, Margaret?
Possibly 28E/F?I'm still discombobulated how big these ladies actually are.
So today - this lady below walks into your boutique. She takes off her top for a bra fitting. What are your first thoughts? (we've gonna need a bigger boat - Jaws movie ref)
Custom made is the only option I guess. How do you go about sizing someone who is off the charts? And how do custom sizes actually work. I suspect there are more and more ladies needing bigger sizes these days; so I wonder if bra manufacturers will eventually make bigger sizes as standard.
I’ve fitted a woman like this lady before, but we couldn’t get her anything off the shelf - we had to order it in.I guess it will cost quite a bit more too. I saw a lady in a local store recently that was not far off the lady in the picture - this made me think about bigger sizes. Especially when you walk around the women underwear section of any department store (I never do that on my own btw) you never see anything much above DD.

I meant to add - I love photos like this. This is what boobs look like. This is what they do. Not a lot of women with bigger buses can **82** on their boobs - I don’t have too much trouble with it, although I tend to **82** on my side.

I must admit the bust size of celebs* tends to fascinate me. She doesn't look that big here - but I suspect Margaret will tell us she is much bigger than we anticipate.

Is that Elizabeth Hurley?I think so - in her 50's now.
Well, she’s not as big as some of the models on here!True. I'm not sure it is always about size. Shape and overall esthetic can often trump the bigger boobs. In my opinion anyway.
I’d reckon she’s possibly something like a 28E, maybe a 28F.A lot bigger than I'd have thought - I have a completely different understanding of bras sizes thanks to your expert knowledge.

I agree with the comment you made the the Xenia Wood thread - she is gorgeous. But what is her size?M’goodness - I am insanely in love with this lady. She has the most amazing eyes and smile - and what a beautiful, curvy figure.
I agree with the comment you made the the Xenia Wood thread - she is gorgeous. But what is her size?
She certainly is quite fetching! She started as a lingerie/bra model apparently, but has also branched out into topless modeling.
M’goodness - I am insanely in love with this lady. She has the most amazing eyes and smile - and what a beautiful, curvy figure.
I was initially tempted to say something along the lines of 34JJ, but she’s too full in the boobs, so 34KK seems closer. But I don’t know what height she is, so I can’t quite tell if a 34 back would be too small - but she’s probably not a 38 back. I have a friend who has a very similar boob shape and projection, but she’s much smaller in height and wears a 32KK.
We’re possibly looking at 34-36KK - certainly it’s in that area. L cup wouldn’t surprise me though.
Who is she? Is she a lingerie model? There’s a photo of her in a black basque with suspenders kneeling on a bed - and she is utterly divine in it. It looks like a lingerie shoot photo.
Who is she? Is she a lingerie model?Yes she does do lingerie and underwear modeling.

I don't how accurate this site is: https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Xenia_Wood (https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Xenia_Wood)
But it says she is 36J. But I'd take your estimate first. And she is Ukrainian - jeez what is is with hot Slavic women.
I don’t think she’s a 36J. Not big enough in the boobs (36JJ attached).I tend to take these sort of websites with a pinch-of-salt. But I thought I'd reference is anyway.

So today - this one I think will be quite the challenge due to the pose. I love how warm the underside of of woman's chest is - if I ever need to warm my hands, this is my go to. :)
That’s a difficult one to judge. Possibly 36 back - and big in the cups, possibly GG/H.Yeah I thought it would be a tough one to judge.

Today: She has quite a slim figure - so I'd guess 28DD. What do you reckon?
Looks more like a 26/28F or G to me.I'm getting better - but I still need more practice.
Is there another photo? I can’t quite tell her back size - 36 seems big, but boobs-wise I think you’re looking at E or F. So, possibly 32F/34E.Looks more like a 26/28F or G to me.I'm getting better - but I still need more practice.
Today's lady - my estimate is 36G. Am I far off?
Is there another photo?Alas I haven't.
I can’t quite tell her back size - 36 seems big, but boobs-wise I think you’re looking at E or F. So, possibly 32F/34E.Looking at the picture again - I can now see E or F. Many of the women I know are this sort of size, and this is the view I am familiar with. I should have done better with this one.
Edit - I meant to add, because I have something to compare these women to (my own boobs and shape) it’s an easy starting point to work from.That has got to be a help for sure - and you buy bras which has to give you a instinct for sizes.
I’ve seen (and felt) literally hundreds (if not thousands) of boobs over the yearsWow, that sounds fantastic. I wish I had. Are there any that standout, ones that you remember doing a fitting for; any that were nice looking or extraordinary?

Okay then: Today we have a (my estimate) 30G. And what do you make of the marks on here boobs - seems an odd place to have them?
How about Maseratixxx who is purportedly a 40JJ?
That doesn't sound right to me.
I guess you have to remember that I’m not approaching it from the perspective of a man.Fair point - this is something I often forget when talking to women about other women. Men are hard-wired to think sex. Women seem generally more empathetic and less visual in their stimulation.
I’m not thinking “oooh, check out these big knockers, I can’t wait to get my hands on them”.In some ways this is a curse for men - I do this all the time - but I wish sometimes I could disable this feature in my head.
Apart from that, there’s dozens of stories over the yearsYour two anecdotes where fantastic. It is interesting for me as a man to hear about women's experiences with their bodies. I think understanding the opposite is useful for all of our relationships.

I honestly can't seem to come up with a size for this one - so over to you Margaret?
How about one of the most popular models back in the day, Chloe Vevrier?
She is, but as Big Banana should have realized if he had been paying attention to the Forum's Rules (https://forum.bearchive.com/index.php?action=rules), posting unmorphed photos from her website like the one he did are strictly forbidden here.How about one of the most popular models back in the day, Chloe Vevrier?
Interesting lady! (Amazingly beautiful too). It looks like she’s gotten bigger over the years - she must be in her late 40s/early 50s now. She seems to have started off around the 34GG/H category (I found a pic of her wjth Danni Ashe, who I’m pretty sure was a 32FF, like me, in her prime), but as the years have gone on, she’s increased. Probably something like a 34/36 back and up in the J/JJ category now - but I wouldn’t be surprised if she was something like a 34KK.
Is she still modelling?

Today I have this young lady for the challenge.
There is a not-so hidden clue in the picture.
Probably something like 38/40GGAh okay - the bigger band size always gets me.

Is that a good way to hang a bra? Would a hanger be better.
Same goes for washing a bra - the best advice is to wash them gently by hand, with warm water and washing powder, but if you have to wash them in a machine, do it on a cool wash - and make sure the bra clasps are fastened together. Better still, get a bra washing bag to put them in before putting them inside the machine (or a BraBaby, if they still exist).

Bras are such great looking, and they hold some of Mother Nature's greatest's gifts to mankind, but by the same token, I'm so glad I don't have to deal with them much. I own no delicate or frilly clothing and clothes wash for me is rather simple procedure. My only clothing that requires care is my business suit and I take that to the cleaners. :)
I can’t think of a more complicated item of clothing.No me either.
Bras are best stored in a drawer, with the cups folded together and the clasps all fastened. The reason for this is to help them keep their shape, but also to prevent the clasps catching on other items and causing rips etc.A little off topic - but storing things is the most efficient way is a useful skill. I've been rolling my t-shirts instead of folding them flat for sometime now. Works great.
I can’t think of a more complicated item of clothing.No me either.
I've seen the wire of underwired bras come out of old bras - is this just when they get old - or is it possible to remove the wire, say for washing. I guess underwired bras are verboten for a washing machine?
Attached: woman hanging bra incorrectly.
...to compensate for band stretch over time?
…because bra bands only come in even sizes (28, 30, 32, 34 etc), so the 2-4 inches that the hooks and eyes usually provide allow for odd-numbered back measurements (27, 29, 31, 33 etc).I guess they do this to cut cost.
I have no words for this one. But this is a big bra, a very big bra!

Margaret I wonder if you could have a look at the legend that is Danni Ashe. She has my favourite set of boobs. I think at her peak she was probably the most downloaded women - but I'm not sure I ever knew her size - or not an accurate one at least.
32FF. Exact same shape, size and projection as meWow Margaret. I always thought she had some of the best tits. I can only imagine yours are epic too.
And she is pretty much three years older than I am (although, I wish I looked as good as she did/does!).She is only 54. And 50 is the new 40.

My husband certainly thinks they’re epic, so maybe I’m wrong.When you find a woman with great boobs it is like a lottery win for us boob aficionados. Your husband thinks this.

Out of curiosity - do you think women are getting bustier. Anecdotally they seem to be.
(boobs look like buttocks in the dark)Isn't this one of the theories why (some) men like big boob - substituting them for buttocks. I can't say that is my experience, not that I know of. I honestly can't articulate why I like them, I just do. It is like saying why you like a colour.
I come from a long line of big boobersI have often wondered that about genetics of boobs. I guess it is natural selection at work. Maybe men don't want to mate with smaller busted women as they (subconsciously) see them as less fertile. For a while now I've suspected sexual selection is hard coded in both sexes.
I *think* this lady is natural. But it’s hard to be 100% certain. I’ve fitted bras for many ladies with implants (I have a friend with silicone implants - they’re not huge, she’s a 30DD) and there’s usually a few giveaways;(boobs look like buttocks in the dark)Isn't this one of the theories why (some) men like big boob - substituting them for buttocks.

From my own anecdotal observations - some people get their genetics from grandparents not necessarily their parents.
Okay then - back to the challenge: sometimes I look at a pic and think, are they natural or not. The attached pic is one of those - is she or isn't she? I'm in two minds - you've seem many more breasts than I have so I'd thought I'd throw this one out there.
Also, love how much the definition of this pic allows you so see the tiny hairs on her chest.
PS, sorry Zook, I know it is a WebP. I may change it later.
I *think* this lady is natural. But it’s hard to be 100% certain.Augmentations seem to be getting better, and more sophisticated all the time. There are a few ladies that you know they have had a boob jobs, but they look so natural you (I) can't (immediately) tell.
I’ve fitted bras for many ladies with implants (I have a friend with silicone implants - they’re not huge, she’s a 30DD) and there’s usually a few giveaways;When I first read that they were installing implants via the underarm I was amazed.
And then, some women just have great projection and a pert look - which can be mistaken for implants.I wonder if that is just genetics or maybe a stronger pectoral muscle?
The real test is to feel themI guess so - I haven't so far felt any non enhanced. But I think I'd know fairly quickly.
all I can say is the ones I’ve felt are the weirdest of things.The elasticity of boobs is one of their great features - are implants a bit less so?
I can’t quite articulate what it feels like, it’s like a gel pack that’s inside skin, in a body.Actually a gel pack description is quite helpful.
The other giveaway is that they look totally out of proportion for the body they’re on (which applies to many of the implanted models I’ve observed over the years here on the BEA).Although, models like Ewa Sonnet kinda looks enhanced due to her small waist and big chest - but I'm pretty sure she isn't. It is when she lays down and her boobs lay flatter you know she real - the fake one seem to stay put.
Here's another are they or aren't they.
Here's another are they or aren't they.
This is a difficult one because she has such a trim, fit body - so it could just as easily be her build and shape due to exercise. Or, they could be fake. It’s definitely not my area of expertise in the way bras, bra fits and boob sizes are.
What do you think Margaret?
Here's an oldie but goodie: Pam Brown. Busty model from the 80's and early 90's.
Oki doki - I'm posting this pic as - I think think her dimensions may make her tricky to size. I'm not sure why I think that - maybe it the perkiness of her breasts.
And she has some lovely boobs.

It’s difficult to be sure with just that photo, but I’d be guessing she was possibly a 34 back, and up in the KK or L category. However, I’d want to try her in some other bras (36K might be more comfortable for her). But, given that she’s so short, possibly 34L might be about right.

She had a reduction around 20 years ago. But, she was J or K cup and still growing. The back pain got to be too much for her. Pam is still young, only around 60ish or so. I'll need to dig up a pic of her after the reduction.Here's an oldie but goodie: Pam Brown. Busty model from the 80's and early 90's.

28FF possibly.I think the smaller women fascinate me more than the bigger women if I was honest.

Okay: this lady walks into your boutique and asks for some advice. She removes her blouse and shows you her bra.
What would be your advice?
A sari may "only" be a three-meter-long piece of cloth, but the complete outfit has many other components to it. And there's over one hundred ways to drape a sari.
Bras are very much the most important item in a woman’s wardrobe (possibly a close second is shoes). If you take care of your bras, they’ll take care of you.
Of course, you have to have the correct size, decent brand etc.
But they’re wonderful, powerful garments.
Not a lot of people know this, but there are often 45+ individual components in a bra (I’d love to see one deconstructed), from underwires to straps, lining, elastic, lace, metal loops, plastic, shoulder strap adjusters, thread and material (and the cute little bows in the middle that no longer serve a real purpose).
I can’t think of a more complicated item of clothing.
It's not an academic journal by any means but I remember there was an article in the Daily Mail where they interviewed three sets of three generations of women (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-494374/Why-ARE-womens-figures-getting-fuller.html) (grandmom, mom, and daughter) where their bra sizes increased with each succeeding generation. Interesting anecdotal (albeit highly-selected-by-the-editors) "evidence" - although Zoe Williams in The Guardian opines that it may be more easily explained by better bras available in a wider, more accurate range of sizes. (https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2018/jun/26/bras-womens-breasts-getting-bigger-larger-cups)She looks short, with a broad back. Possibly 34K?Je vous remercie.
Out of curiosity - do you think women are getting bustier. Anecdotally they seem to be.
Reminds me of the titillating quote from the follow-up article (https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/record-breakkers-1613985) in the Sunday People that introduced the world to the amazing breasts of Rachel Aldana:
I don’t think they are. I think big-boobed women have always been around. From developing breasts to attract a mate (boobs look like buttocks in the dark) to increases in hormones (the pill) and cosmetic surgery.
Only the labels on their bras have changed. I come from a long line of big boobers (my mum and my sisters all have big boobs) - they not a new thing.
"...Chloe, Natasha and Leanne all come from families with a history of large bosoms.
Natasha said: 'My mum told me that my grandma's were as big as mine, if not bigger.
My family obviously has big boobs stretching back generations.
But people can't believe they're natural and I often get asked by blokes and even girls if they can have a feel because they think silicone.
I tell them I inherited them from my nan.'
The girls believe they would be perfect guinea-pigs for scientific research.
Leanne said: 'The fact that all three of us have big boobs running in our families seems to suggest that there could be some kind of genetic link.
I think a geneticist should look into it. If eye-colour is hereditary, why not boobs?
Imagine the possibilities if they discovered a boob gene. You might be able to clone breasts!'"

Then it’s prettt close to 34KK/L (uk)
Margaret sweetheart, can you give us an approximation for this bra which is obviously being forcefully challenged by Demora Avarice breasts? :o Demora is a small woman, only 4'11" tall. From the 2023 AVN, copyright by solvegas. :)

Im really confused here. The accompanying chart only goes up to a UK “K” or US “O”, but correct me if I’m wrong, but wouldn’t KK/L cups be the US equivalent of P/Q? Isn’t there still R,S,T and U before we get to a US “V”. So, if one were to continue the UK cup sizes, it should be “NN”—which is what Demora said it was—not KK or L.
Define “close”.
Her straps are working well, but I can’t see the back band - although, it doesn’t look like it’s causing her too much grief. Overall, the cups just seem old-fashioned and lack support.Yes it does look like the bras women often get cheap to wear to the gardening do something. It would be great to find another picture with her wearing something better.
I reckon she’s probably 32FF/34F - so something in that range would help her.I have another pic of her just about to put her arm into the straps. We get a better view of the back band - maybe a tad tight?
Okay fellas… here goes:

Hi Margaret, long time listener, first time caller... hope this model hasn't been covered already.
This lady is Mmmmiriam Gonzalez, one of my favorite retired models.
She was a Playmate of the Month and they listed her as a 5'4", 34DDD-24-36 and I think about 110 lbs, but that was before she put on just a little weight and had a big growth spurt... this pic is after that, and the lady has curves like a racetrack.
I always wanted to know... what's her size right in that picture?
Is this a good bra fit Margaret? Posting as I really think it is a lovely set of underwear if I'm honest.
Are there any other photos of her?I only had the one - but I think this is the same woman.
This lady is Mmmmiriam Gonzalez, one of my favorite retired models.
This lady looks more like a 32G/GG, but I’d like to see her in a bra to get a better idea.
I’ve scanned around for photos of her, and there’s times she looks no bigger than 32FF, so I suspect she’s either increased in size through Norman gain, or perhaps had surgery?
But goodness, she’s beautiful.
Today's curiosity.
I’d have to see her standing up. But anywhere between GG-J.Okay, thanks that's for that one.

Today I took a couple of video snapshots from a Chloe Vevrier video where she is measuring.
I think we have 33" band size, and 49" bust. I'm not sure what she reports to wear - so I'll be interested to see what size she should wear. If I can find some more measuring vids or pics I will post as I find them quite interesting.
That’s going to come out at about 34K (UK size). Although I’d need some other measurements - and I’d try her out with a few bras first. She could be a 32KK or a 34JJ.It would be interesting to know what she actually wears. One of my collection is 38JJ but I guess the volume of the cup is different to a 34JJ?

When you say you need some other measurement - I thought band size and over bust where all that was needed. Is that for a basic fit - is there something else that'll help get the size?
For today's challenge I thought I'd go for a Playboy model of yesteryear Julianna Young. I think she did have a boob job, which I know alters the estimate, but back then (and in her case) they seem more natural.
We share a birthday, but she is older than me.
I’d also be asking for a leaning bust measurement, and a lying bust measurementAh, that is interesting. What are you looking for in this - is it an estimate cup volume? One of of my favourite charts (attached) has a column for volume. One, (impracticable) way of assessing breast volume is to lower the breast in to a volume of water and measure the displacement with the Archimedes Principle. I'm surprised someone hasn't come up with a easy way of doing this for boobs - especially women who are asymmetrical chests.
I’d also want to know what bra size the person is currently wearing (and, preferably see how that bra sits on them)That makes sense. Something I'd not thought of.
I’m tempted to say she’s a 30G/GG, but she looks really slim in the back, so possibly a 28H.I think I saw her height somewhere - ah yeah here it is, it says she is 5' 8". She is taller than I thought.

The only thing I can think of that might improve bra fitting is some kind of 3D scanner or LIDAR System. Maybe that’s not too far off.I think it already is. Naomi Wu had one done on her YouTube channel. It wasn't for a bra fitting, but the tech I think would work.

Today Margaret I don't have a size question - but what do you think of this bra (attached)? I think it looks nice, not sure it is practicable - I guess it would be tricky to identify the brand?
Another question: as we know most women have asymmetric breasts. But some women have quite different sizes left to right - how do you size and adjust a bra for a women who isn't very symmetrical or a woman who has had a mastectomy?
There’s no a lot you can do about it in bra terms, because bras are made symmetrical. You can pad etc, but it’s one of those things you have to just do your best with.This probably comes down to cost - I suspect there would be a way of making separate adjustments to each breast, but adding extra fasteners or Velcro is extra work.
Same with mastectomies - although, there’s lots of help there in terms of fillers, silicone prosthetics etc - which all work wonders. I’ve helped a few women (and men) out with this sort of thing in my time.I'd forgotten about prosthetics, although coming to website like this I should have known better.

You've talked before about the fasteners on the back of a bra - normally 3 hooks. This bra (attached) has 4. I can't see how busty the woman is, but on a normal sized woman - would this make the bra more supportive. Or is it likely to add to discomfort with more material rubbing the skin?
This is also potentially a longline bra (I’d have to see what it looks like at the front).I only have the one pic - I'd have like to have seen the front as well.
I absolutely love longline bras - but they’re not for everyone. There’s more material, and they sometimes curl up at the front and on the back band.I just did a search for longline bra and I think I get the concept. This is why I like to love your posts - I had no idea there was such a type of bra.
Lingerie is like that - there’s some items that some women love, and some women just can’t wear them.I do like lingerie - not sure I'd like to wear it though. Experiencing it not only online but personally it doesn't look comfortable to wear. I love the feel of stocking, it is such a lovely material to touch. I have an older sister, and I distinctly remember the sight of popsocks everywhere when I was at home. Like mini stockings. Ah, and the smell of nail polish remover...
I have tried and tried with basques/corsets and I just can’t do it. I can’t do suspender belts either (but I can do suspenders on a bodyshaper). I love bodyshapers and longline bras - there’s a snug, tight feel to them that you don’t get with just a bra set. But for everyday wear, a well-fitting bra can’t be beaten.Corsets look particularly uncomfortable, almost masochistic. Suspender belts seem only really good in the bedroom - again, love the look and how they shape a woman's body, but I can see how impractical they'd be in everyday life. I'd imagine you'd be constantly having to readjust them each time you stretch or bend down.

Bodyshapers look comfortable - almost like a modern version of the girdle but with better material.
I have a Curvy Kate Carmen longline which I’ve had for years, and it’s a terrific bra. The back band is huge on it, which takes some getting used to, depending on your torso shape etc.Just looking at the photos I can see that. You'd think a thicker band would give more support - but the distribution of fat and muscle in the back seems to not really allow for it.
they tend to be annoying, and you spend half the night adjusting them.I have enough trouble with longs socks - I can only imagine what stockings are like. Actually, my dad used to have leg suspenders for his socks - they were a thing many years ago.
Wearing lingerie is basically a necessity; you get used to it (weird things happen when you don’t wear any)Yeah I guess we're adaptable as humans, we do get used to things - high heels look amazing and really shape a woman's thigh - but jeez they've got to hurt.
lingerie takes even more getting used to (and usually only gets worn for sex, for a short period of time).Well I'd like to thank you and all the women out there who are happy to wear some lingerie to please men - even of it is for a short time (quite short in my case). A woman said to me once, why is it she has to buy all this expensive lingerie - when men don't have too. I thought this was a very good point. Something I'd not thought of. I'm happy to buy it all now.
and, once in a while I’ll wear something in the bedroom that puts a bit of fire into proceedings.I wish all women were like you Margaret.
But, I can tell you this: sex in a corset isn’t nearly as fun as it looks in porn videos.I kinda wince to think how uncomfortable it is for women.
Today's challenge is to identify this bra?
It looks like it could be a VS bra, but I can’t say for sure.I thought it looked nice being semi-transparent. I guess the correct word is opaque.

Okay, I wonder if you could comment on this lingerie picture. Am I right in thinking you have your underwear over the suspenders and not under them? Has this lady got it wrong!

Haha. Yes - you put the panties over the suspenders (try getting your knickers down in a hurry when you have a suspender belt and stockings in the way). Most women learn this from lingerie catalogues (or websites) - or by accident. It’s one of the reasons I’m not keen on suspender belts. I mean, they’re utterly gorgeous items - I often covet them, and then spend money on them - only to find that I never wear them for longer than about 40 minutes.

That is one of the huge differences between ladies' suspenders and men suspenders. Women, since they are the pretty sex, wear such pretty lingerie which emphasizes their femininity and are just so much more pleasant to look at than men with their utilitarian underwear which is non descriptive. Women use frilly and pretty clothing while men is just ... meh. ;) ;D
(try getting your knickers down in a hurry when you have a suspender belt and stockings in the way).This lady has it right.
Very much so. It’s one of the few advantages of being a woman; nice things to wear.Walking round a department store looking for men's clothes - one thing it is often hard to find in the myriad of women's clothes, and the section is sooo small compared to the women's section.
it’s often very difficult to find something that fits, is comfortable - and looks good too. And it’s always expensive! Especially bras.I must admit - that is something I've never had a problem with - I'm still wearing the same 34 Long jeans I have for years. But it would be nice to have a better choice of clothes.
men with their utilitarian underwear which is non descriptive. Women use frilly and pretty clothing while men is just ... meh.I still don't see any reason why men can't have nice underwear - but you're right, it is mostly horrible.

A Curvy Kate Carmen Black according the the file name. I must have searched for it when you mentioned it in a previous post. A long line bra?
But as Margaret pointed out, it is so much cheaper.Yes true. But nice underwear is for special occasions - look at the underwear and bras women tend to wear everyday it is cheap stuff they get from WallMart*. Men are happy to pay $100 for a pair of speakers, when you could buy a pair for half that that'll work fine.
That’s the one. I have this set (except I have the larger briefs).I have some briefs like that size 12 from Topshop, they have two little white bows on the left and right front. They match one of the bras I posted. Actually I'd not noticed this until recently that they were a match.
I also have an odd set given to me as a gift where the suspenders are on the briefs (they’re detachable).That sounds an interesting design - I don't think I've seen that before.
The Carmen longline bra is sensational though. Haven’t worn it in a while - I might dig it out and give it a whirl.It does look like it is supportive - although restrictive too.
I have soooo many bras - some I haven’t had on in maybe 10+ years. I’ll have to do a clearout at some point…All my collection are cast-off. It not only when they wear out - women seem to go up and down sizes. Even though some of my bras are in good condition - the owners seem to think they'll not be able to wear them again.
Margaret in one of you posts you mentioned "bodyshaper", with suspenders is this the sort of thing?

A bodyshaper is more like this.Ah right, got it. Going to the loo looks tricky?
They’re sometimes also called a corselette.Just looked them up - I can see why women like these.

The attached bra. I keep looking at this picture and thinking something is off. No idea what. And, it is a cheap or expensive bra - I'm in two minds.
Going to the loo with poppers isn’t so bad - putting them back together can be tricky,I have button up jeans - that's tricky enough, but buttons in the perineum area, I'd leave them undone probably.
That bra looks like the wrong bra entirely for that woman’s shape. She needs a full cup bra, something more supportive that encases her boobs in the bra. It looks like cheap crap.My instincts were right. I thought it was a cheap bra, I've seen a lot. Bras are expensive and I think women have the cheap ones for doing the gardening in. I wonder if they are a false economy though?
I think this woman is quite tall, so she’s probably a 32 or 34 back, and possible an E or F cup.Going to the loo with poppers isn’t so bad - putting them back together can be tricky,I have button up jeans - that's tricky enough, but buttons in the perineum area, I'd leave them undone probably.That bra looks like the wrong bra entirely for that woman’s shape.

Okay, back to Challenge Margaret bra size estimation. I was watching a TV show last night, I often look up the show on IMBD and get some background. The main actress is Mimi Rogers, I looked her up - surprisingly she did playboy. So I wonder if you'd have a go at Mimi for me?
I think this woman is quite tall, so she’s probably a 32 or 34 back, and possible an E or F cup.Yeah I think she may be. I have a few episodes to watch so I'll have a look and see how tall she looks. When I first saw her on screen I thought she was quite flat chested - so was surprised to find out she has quite a big bust.
This a lovely bra, no idea what brand - but is the band a tad tight?
But, sometimes women deliberately wear bras like this to over-emphasise their boobs.Haha - shame on them...
It’s a sort of half-cup trendy style bra - they sometimes fasten at the front. I’ve never found them comfortable.It seems like there'd be too much pressure inward and not upwards, if that makes sense. I do think this looks great - good for the cleavage, but uncomfortable. Would a woman wear something like this for a low cut evening dress?
Have we done Stacey Poole before?
She’s probably something like 32G or 34FF.Gracias.
With Malcolm McDowell looking on - what size is this young lady?
I’m going to say 28GG, but she could be 28H.Muchas gracias - are boobs like that an easy fit for a lot bras?

They are now. They didn’t used to be. 28GG and 28H are pretty common sizes nowI remember looking in my mum's Great Universal catalogue - perusing the lingerie section, I have no recollection of large sizes, nothing over DD.
although, because of the misconceptions about cup sizes (ie. Bigger letter means big boobs)It is counterintuitive. Maybe they should categorise bras by volume - i.e. 23/500 - for 28 band and 500cc cup.
Most UK high street stores will have a “DD+” section which caters for smaller band/bigger cup sizes now.Do they have much over G on the high st?

The attached picture of Abbi Secraa - she has a very large bust - I just wondered on the bra she is wearing. Is that a good design for a lady as big?
This woman’s bra is pretty poor for her size. She needs better side-panelling and a broader back band. Plus, the straps aren’t going to properly support boobs that big - it’s a design/style of bra fit for smaller boobs - but not hers. She needs more reinforced double-lined panelling in the cups to encase her boobs.
Yes. Places like Debenhams do up to H cups and M&S do up to J/K cups. You just have to look.I only have a look at bras when I'm with a woman - even then I'm conscious of not looking at the really big sizes. Women can see out of backs of their heads. :)
I have some PDF files somewhere of Freemans catalogues from the 80s. I ordered them years ago for some research I was doing about bra sizing charts. There’s nothing beyond DD anywhere in them.I used to love those thick paper catalogues that my mum would get. It would have been the first time I'd ever seen lingerie probably.
This woman’s bra is pretty poor for her size.The straps are digging in - that is going to get uncomfortable after a short while. The nearest I get to this feeling is with a heavy backpack on - discomfort in the Trapezius is horrible. Do women with a large bust get this as well as back problems? I guess this is where a well fitted bras with tight band come in - so all the weight is taken by the band.
I don't think Abbi cared about the proper fit for that photoProbably not - but you can imagine the bra was made to be worn for longer than a photo shoot.
What do you think about this ensemble?
>Sigh< It’s really lovely, isn’t it?I thought so too. I find this sort of thing much more alluring than nakedness.
When I was a bit younger, I used to get besotted with things like this - and I’d buy them and wear them once or twice - then they’d lie in my drawer for years. The only way I can describe it is like this; you see it, you just want to look that good, and you buy it and go home and put it on and you feel absolutely amazing - I can’t emphasise that enough; the feeling of having it on is so rewarding, and when you see yourself in the mirror, you feel so sexy.You've articulated that very well. I know exactly what you mean - not that as a man I've ever felt sexy; but I did like to look good. Anecdotes I've heard from women have said that same. I don't think men can really experience that feeling, at least not the way women can.
But, I can tell you this… the reaction on the face when you take off your clothes is difficult to beat 😘😘I've said wow a number of times - the mutual appreciation and shared experience is fantastic in that situation.

More of the girl above - no nakedness - just nice lingerie pics -- https://www.reddit.com/user/Powerfull_xo/submitted/?sort=top (https://www.reddit.com/user/Powerfull_xo/submitted/?sort=top)
She’s a pretty lady. OnlyFans really is a huge thing now, isn’t it.Yeah it is - and people do make some significant sums doing it.
I thought you’d be interested to see this - both from a social/historical perspective and from an aesthetic point of view. See attached.It is interesting to see how things have changed - and to reminisce. I think it is also interesting to see how the physique of the models have changed. This may be down to fashion though and not necessarily how women were back then. I do think women and men are broader than they used to be.
This is from a Freemans (UK) catalogue in the mid-80s. I had some of these items (I was a teenager at the time). Look at the size availability; nothing beyond a so-called “DD” cup.Ah yes Freemans, forgot about them. That's how I remember it, nothing over DD.
I say “so-called” because this was relying on the +4 sizing method, so you often ended up with a bra that the back band was too tight/too loose on, or you were relying on the shoulder straps to hold your boobs up. I recall my boobs bouncing all over the place in those days.An ill-fitting bra, not only uncomfortable, but damaging to the breast tissue I'd expect. The good thing about the modern world is things are generally better designed, albeit not necessarily better made. Didn't stockings used to have seams, and now they don't?
Still, some of the items are pretty (and, reasonably well-made underwired bras). Gossard still make really terrific bras and other lingerie - I don’t think Kayser exists though (I don’t recall ever buying their stuff). I tended to purchase Gossard, Lovable, Warners, Fantasie and the odd Playtex item (when they started doing “younger” stuff). Sometimes Lejaby, and, of course Marks and Spencer.I'll have to look up some of the brands you mention, I'm only really familair with Gossard and Playtex. What was the slogan Playtex had, something about crossover?
For comparison: Freemans today.

Much better! And much more representative. I do like a Fantasie bra - they were expensive back in the 80s/90s - but much more competitively priced now. Really decent quality bras.
I’ve always wanted to know where the various big-boobed models from the late 80s/90s purchased their bras. Many of them must have been custom - or modified - or just smaller bras they forced themselves into. I’ve looked at a lot of photos of models like Sarenna Lee, Traci Topps and Tiffany Towers, and just can’t identify the brands. They’re probably long gone now.

Don't forget that most bras in the 80's and 90's were manufactured in the USA and Europe to fit their women but the Chinese, thanks to slave wages and subsidies by their government were able to take over the market and so many western manufacturers are gone. :(
Tiffany Towers, and just can’t identify the brands. They’re probably long gone now.I think the only time I have seen Tiffany Towers in a bra that I can remember is in Scene 1 of the porn movie Boobarella (1992). It always stuck in my mind. It is one of my favourite scenes.

I'm not sure it is that helpful to identify the bra she is wearing.
I'm surprised bras are not made in Bangladesh these days - China is too expensive now.
I’ve seen a few photos of her in a bra. I did an assessment of her on her thread a while back.Ah I'll have a look back thorough this thread for the post.

So today - you know you talked about corsets and how uncomfortable they are. Is it difficult to put one on by yourself? Maybe I've been watching too many period dramas where the lady-in-waiting comes in and laces you up...
This isn’t really a corset - it’s more of a corselette/basque made to look like a corset.Am I right in thinking this one doesn't have boning and that is why it isn't a corset?
I’ve had two proper corsets in my time that were hugely expensive, and weren’t worth the money.I guess it is quite difficult to get clothing like that these days - although due to the fetish culture they may be in vogue again.
I will admit to one thing - sex was pretty decent with it on, I don’t know why - possibly shortness of breath.I'm just trying to think about the physiology of that. Shortness of breath while having sex has only really happened to me once - I had a plump lady on top, and when she leaned forward her weight went on to my chest and; for a spilt second I was struggling to breathe. I had to tap out! That may have been more extreme than you experienced.
These things are generally just for the look/titillation - and for sex. Much cheaper (and generally more comfortable) to invest in a basque or a bustier or some other lighter corselette. Although, it’s not easy to find something like that with proper-fitting cups.I must admit, I do prefer a basque on a woman - the corset looks so uncomfortable.

I'm going to have look this up. Fascinating - I love anecdotes like that, it just makes you realise what you don't know.

Some people swear by them though. I’ve found that Spanx or a waist cincher does the job better. Waist cinchers are quite sexy too.If only Victorian woman knew about Spanx. Is that the same material as spandex - like cycle shorts?

Waist clinchers still look a bit restrictive - I wouldn't want to wear one for very long. Its fascinating what I've learnt here about women's clothes.
I think the narrow waist is very sexy - I'd probably have to refer to Desmond Morris to understand why that is. I can see why women try to get that look.
Waist cinchers aren’t so bad - but, it is yet another underwear garment to wear that’s mostly designed to please a man.I wonder if this will ever change - I think it should. The older I've got the more I am aware if this. I do like to see women in lingerie - but not just to please me.

Having said that - if I though it would please a woman I'd dress in with whatever she wanted. (unlikely she'd want me too)
Okay then - getting back to some sizing. I thought this image of a lady on some steps would be interesting - a back/side and front view. I'd estimate (I think she may be tall) 32 - or maybe 28, not sure. So I will plump for 32F?
I don't think we've done Rhian Sugden. She's 5' 6" apparently.

Before I reply, I’m curious as to how you arrived at 32F. Show me your working, as the class teacher might say - and I’ll give you my assessment.

She’s probably a 28F/FF.Ah I was so close - I was in two minds, 28F or 32F. I thought she'd maybe 32F as she looked tall.

If the cup is a hemi-ellipsoid, its volume is given by the formula: where a, b and c are the three semi-axes of the hemi-ellipsoid, and cw, cd and wl are respectively the cup width, the cup depth and the length of the wire. [1]
Ref: 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bra_size (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bra_size)
Righty ho then...
I have no idea how to size this lady - way above my skill level.
Anyway - I like your working, but I was meaning more what led you to arrive at that size!It was a guess. I have never sized a woman (in reality) or bought a bra, so I really have to just go on intuition. I also think about my own dimensions, I'm quite slim and my under-bust wouldn't be that far off a 6" tall woman. So taking that in to consideration; I take a guess on the band size for a woman proportionally shorter than me.
I think she’s more a 28E, her boobs are quite small, and so is her frame (despite being tall), so she’s in the low back/low cup range.
Sorry. Haven’t been able to get logged on for a few days because of the “authentication” issue. Again.This website can be flaky at times, but I have never had that error. Do you get anything like that on other sites, or is it just here?

What do you think of this colour combination and style of this lingerie?
Where did you spot it?It would have been from Reddit - but can't remember what sub it was in. I did a Yandex reversed image search but didn't find it. I did find this. I wasn't sure about yellow - but it is growing on me.

but again, likely to ping off when bending over to take off a stiletto.I had to smile over the mental picture I just had.
I wonder if you'd size this lady.
My initial thought is 32G. But hard to know how tall she is. And the way he dress is tucked under her boobs may make them look bigger.
I think much bigger than 32G, possibly 34H or thereabouts. But definitely bigger than G in the cup.I felt confident with this one too - ah well. I need to more study.

So here my homework for today - and my guesstimate is32, nah scrub that let me up it to 34, but what cup size... humm. Going on the last one got to be another H surely? Final answer 34H...
I’d say that’s a good guess. 32HH or 34H.I just looked them up, they are more or less the same cup size even though the band size is different. Interesting. It must take a while to orientate yourself with this measurement system.

Okay - today. A nice monochrome picture. 34D is my initial guess. But I may refine that.
What a gorgeous photo. Who is it?I don't know unfortunately. It is a terrific photo - I may even print it out and pop it in a frame. Maybe in the bathroom - something for guests to look at while they are on the loo! I wonder if they'll comment on it.
34D *looks* close, but I’m wondering if her back size might be smaller than 34. Possibly 32DD - although, I’d expect to see a tiny bit more volume if she was a 32DD. But, it’s a decent guess and I’d certainly be trying her with both.I did think 32, but then I wasn't sure so I went for 34. I seem to be getting better at this.
When we do the 34D/32DD or 32HH/34H thing, this is called “sister sizing”. It’s really useful for a number of things - the first being the variance in the size/fit from one bra manufacturer to another. For example, a 32FF in a Freya bra might not be exactly the same as a 32FF in a Curvy Kate bra, so sometimes there’s a slight adjustment in size required.That is really helpful. It kinda reminds me of a tolerance measurement in engineering.
Also, sometimes when you try on a certain bra, it’s obvious that it doesn’t work for some reasonAre the more expensive brands more consistent. As the band is elasticated - I wonder how they measure for that at the factory.
The basic principle is this: if you go up a cup size, go down a band size - and if you go down a cup size, go up a band size.I wiill write this down. It seems the key.
I can tell you that it works like magic when you have someone wearing a very tight 30G (which they think is their size because their boobs fit in the cups but the back band is really tight and riding up) and you give them a 32FF to try on. The look on their face is pricelessI suspect wearing the correct bra after wearing the wrong one for so long would be fantastic. I can empathise. I guess that with women's weight often changing through their lives this will be a constant process.
Happy boobs make happy women.My three favourite things.
I think this one is tricky - for me anyway. I keep thinking 28G - but honestly, I'm not entirely sure.
Yep. 28G/GG would be about right.I can't wait for the summer so I can go round the supermarket giving advice to women on their bra size. ha Okay - maybe not a great plan.
You’d be surprised. Possibly more like a 28FF or G.Yep. 28G/GG would be about right.I can't wait for the summer so I can go round the supermarket giving advice to women on their bra size. ha Okay - maybe not a great plan.
I think today due to the passing of this movie icon - I will have a guess of her size in this pic. 28DD?
28DD tends to be really small in the cups.I'm still thinking in terms of when DD was large. I wonder now whether a lot of women were bigger than DD back in the 70's 80's - but DD was a convenient description of big boobs in publications - but the actresses/models were a lot bigger.

What a lovely material - are bras like this these common?
Here’s one from me for you to try. And I’ve even given you all the possible views.Goodness - you're right, every angle here. Ah, but what is her size...
You get all sorts of bras - this is very much in the Victoria’s Secret type of bra. It looks sturdy enough, but they’ll only be made in certain sizes (or up to a certain size). Where did the image come from?This pic from Reddit somewhere.
Here’s one from me for you to try. And I’ve even given you all the possible views.When I first read that - it read as it was one from you personally - I did a double take!

I'd guess ~28J
It looks like a Curvy Kate bra and I think the go up to a K cup?
Okay then - here's a couple of beautiful young ladies. The lady on the left with the beverage - have we found an A cup bra size?
(although you’ll notice her boobs are being slightly pulled west-eastI hadn't seen that at first - but I can see what you mean now.
It’s difficult to give a proper size assessment without knowing more about her weight/height, but you can usually get close by judging the projection/volume of her boobsIt is probably easier with a live person and not a picture too. But with your experience you can judge better than most I suspect.
So, if she came to see me and was wearing this bra, I’d be making a guess in the 30-32 range and J-K cup.If she came to see me wearing that - I'd be 1. amazed. 2. very happy.
But it’s not an exact science.Like economics.

It’s a 32K Curvy Kate Portia. I’d say it’s a reasonably good fit on the woman modelling it. The centre gore is snug, the boobs are encased in the cups with no overspill or side boob (although you’ll notice her boobs are being slightly pulled west-east - you can tell by where her nipples are positioned in the cups, but this is more to do with how her boobs are “set” - which varies from person to person), the straps don’t seem to be straining, and the back band is nice and horizontal/low. Overall - it looks snug and reasonably comfortable (although might be a tiny bit tight - which will be due to her cup size).
It’s difficult to give a proper size assessment without knowing more about her weight/height, but you can usually get close by judging the projection/volume of her boobs - even if I didn’t already know her size, I’d be thinking she was a relatively low back band (28-32, but most likely 30-32) and a big cup size (J-K/KK). So, if she came to see me and was wearing this bra, I’d be making a guess in the 30-32 range and J-K cup.
But it’s not an exact science.
This is interesting - I like the lace at the bottom and the drawstrings. It seems like a cross between a bra and a Basque.

I am quite chuffed that I was in the right ball park 😁
Have you got another one?
I think this is probably in Italy maybe Lake Como - but what size is this young lady?
Most likely in the 36-38 back, and possibly a KK cup.Thanks - I had no idea with this one.

Is there a common, or average under bust size. I kinda guess there won't be - but I ask as; I was watching a Ukrainian woman who blogs on YouTube. In one of her latest vids she randomly measured her waist. It was 63cm, or 24 Inches in real money. I thought goodness that is tiny. Her under bust can't be more than 26 inches.
https://youtu.be/--JGfQX7D-c?t=378 (https://youtu.be/--JGfQX7D-c?t=378)
I don’t think there’s been any reliable studies done on average bra sizes.I'm surprised that the manufacturers haven't done any research on this. (or maybe they have) Bearing in mind they're sell more of the average size than any other.
If I was to guess, I’d say the average (UK) bra size is somewhere around 32-34 D-F. But I would not be surprised if it was something like 28-30G.From my own anecdotal observations I'd agree on those sizing.
firstly, most women are wearing the wrong bra size (probably a 34 or 36D). This is a huge problem that could be resolved with education in schools.I think that is a good idea - at least some basic concepts of how to size a bra. I still find it odd that at point-of-sale there isn't more information.
It’s not like average height or weight. You could be a 32 back and a J cup, or a 32 back and a C cup. You could be a 28 back and a D or a 28 back and a K.I'd like to see a reclassification; where the cup size is expressed in volume and not distance. I know it'll never happen - but I'd like to think a 28/300cc would make more sense than 28DD. In the same way that implants are categorised in volume.

I’d love to see some proper research carried out though - like a bra size census.How many surveys have measured the average man's penis. But nothing on women's boobs - kinda odd I feel.
I admire your idea about volume - but the other thing not being taken into account is shape and set.My thinking about volume is based on a breast changing shape as it experiences gravity or momentum. A breast changes shape when a women is either; laying down or leaning forward. But, a breast maintains its volume in both cases. It is possibly a more of a constant measurement of a breast than a woman's overall projection.
The closest thing I can think of is being fitted for con tact lenses - you can just about get the “power” of the lens correct through vision testing, but the shape of eyeballs vary from person to person,That is a interesting analogy - I guess shoes are another. People have different shaped feet but I can't remember the last time I had my feet measured correctly.
I remember years ago (around 2000) there was a documentary on UK television where two engineers tried to design the perfect braI will look that up in a minute. I do have a recollection of it.
3D modelling, computer-assisted design etc) and they created a bra called the BioformIt's going to be AI now I guess - I may ask ChatGPT about how it'll design a bra - could be interesting.

What size would you say Wendy is?
Also, her left breast looks a bit bigger. I'm thinking she would want a cup that fits her smaller right breast perfectly and have some overflow in the left cup, rather than having perfect fit on the larger left side and a looser fitting right cup. Would that be the way to go?
(https://i.pinimg.com/originals/d0/64/ec/d064ecbf929870eb214ffdc8a1670a45.jpg)
I presume this isn't everyday wear. I think the suspenders are connected to the basque? But what about the models bust - any guesses? It is a tricky one as you can't really see how broad her back is. I'd go for a 34G.
This is the closest Wendy got to fully topless from about 10 years ago. She says she's a 30JJ.
She started modelling again this month on OnlyFans.

I suspect it’s a mixture of poor bra measuring/fitting, comfort and personal choice.
Poor bra measuring/fitting is the obvious one for me - most people think their measurement is their bra size. It rarely is. It usually requires trying a few bras out to find out which size (or which closest size) works best.
As for comfort - so many women make the mistake of thinking because a bra *doesn’t* feel tight and restrictive (ie. It’s nice and comfy) that the bra is the correct size/fit. Bras (especially back bands) are meant to be very snug and not loose - the cups are not meant to be loose and bouncy. A properly-fitted bra should feel light a tight hug around your body. The back band does all the hard work. I see women all the time with either loose back bands or cups one size too big, because “it feels nice on”. This is what I see when I see Wendy’s video trying on bras.
Lastly - and this is the part you can’t account for - models (especially porn/glamour models) tend to like to wear bras that push their boobs up and out, or, wear bras that are either too small or ill-fitting, because it makes their boobs look bigger and more prominent. It’s why when you see some of these women brakes, their boobs don’t look as big, or they sag a little, or they’re not perfect spheres.
I’d love to bra fit someone like Wendy - I guarantee she would look different (better!), and she would prefer the bras I fitted her for.

Lastly - and this is the part you can’t account for - models (especially porn/glamour models) tend to like to wear bras that push their boobs up and out, or, wear bras that are either too small or ill-fitting, because it makes their boobs look bigger and more prominent. It’s why when you see some of these women brakes, their boobs don’t look as big, or they sag a little, or they’re not perfect spheres.
I’d love to bra fit someone like Wendy - I guarantee she would look different (better!), and she would prefer the bras I fitted her for.
Okay - one from the archives. Devon Daniels.
Score Magazine state she is:https://www.scoreclassics.com/classic-boob-models/Devon-Daniels/703/ (https://www.scoreclassics.com/classic-boob-models/Devon-Daniels/703/)
- Height: 5'1"
- Measurements: 50-24-34
I think those measurements are a little off. I'm a bit unsure; but if you were to pin me down I'd say -34JJ.
^
Wendy said she was measured as a 30JJ, but she likes to wear a 32J. Would that be why she seems to be overflowing in a lot of her bra pictures?
I suspect it’s a mixture of poor bra measuring/fitting, comfort and personal choice.
Poor bra measuring/fitting is the obvious one for me - most people think their measurement is their bra size. It rarely is. It usually requires trying a few bras out to find out which size (or which closest size) works best.
As for comfort - so many women make the mistake of thinking because a bra *doesn’t* feel tight and restrictive (ie. It’s nice and comfy) that the bra is the correct size/fit. Bras (especially back bands) are meant to be very snug and not loose - the cups are not meant to be loose and bouncy. A properly-fitted bra should feel light a tight hug around your body. The back band does all the hard work. I see women all the time with either loose back bands or cups one size too big, because “it feels nice on”. This is what I see when I see Wendy’s video trying on bras.

I'd be curious to see the results of that fitting too.
I don't know if she ever viewed anything on her thread, but she did this picture for the BEA ( link below) after she worked with Pinup files I believe. Wendy, if you're lurking, get in touch and make it happen. LOL

Those measurements seem odd. I’m assuming that’s the old fashioned “vitals” of bust-waist-hips.I assumed that's what they where. Do ladies not use them anymore?
although back size and hips size often correlateWomen have quite a few body shapes - pear, apple, hour. Is that relationship the same for all types?
she’s low hanging, so when those boobs are in a bra, she’ll have more projection.That is a good point - actually I don't think I have seen her in a bra - a quick web-search didn't show anything either.

36-24-36 was always touted as “hourglass”, but it’s an old-fashioned notion.You know we were talking about an up-to-date survey of women's bra sizes - I'd mentioned 3D scans. Well it seem someone was ahead of me.

This paper (although not solely for busts) will probably have all the data relating to women's chest sizes. It'll fascinating if the data is analysed.
Are there many women that confirm to 36-24-36 nowadays - to my eye that isn't a shape women seem to have now. Although Ruben used to paint women that were a little plump - so maybe they never really did. I think your own remeasurements seem to me more common than 36-24-36.
Is it just me - or are thigh high boots and suspenders completely wrong? One or the other ladies please.
Thigh-highs tend to be much longer and come up to and over your thighs.They look a bit like my sisters riding boots.
Owned plenty of knee-high bootsThe ones with the zip up the side?
and rarely wear suspenders/stockings. I can’t remember the last time I didIt'll be tights now I guess. I have some thermal underwear that remind me of women's tights.

Stocking and suspenders where invented in a time before modern materials. Having said that - wasn't Nylon the new wonder material in the 40's. There were stocking before that, I have no idea what they were made before that.
Right - back on track with these two lovely natural ladies.
These look approx like 28E and 30F.Ah,okay - bigger than I thought.
Sorry I haven’t responded sooner - been locked out due to the “authentication” issue again. It’s making the forum basically un-usable for me.I guessed you may have been having issues again. We'll have to try and rectify that somehow.

I thought today's pic may be an interesting one for analysis - she is slightly leaning forward, although it is difficult to get a scale. I think H range personally.
Very difficult to tell. Could be anywhere from F-H.Indeed.
yep. Odd. Looks like they’re attached to the briefs. Poor placement - likely to ping off with movement.Very difficult to tell. Could be anywhere from F-H.Indeed.
That is an interesting way to attach her stockings. I wonder why she did it like that?
Poor placement - likely to ping off with movement.What is the best way to put stocking and suspenders on - do you attach belt to stocking before putting them on, or is it best put on belt then stockings and attach. I've only ever seen women do it the latter way. But then again I was blown away when I first saw one put a bra on backwards and spin it round and put her arms through. Women are so creative.

Attach to beltSo, how do you attached the rear suspender - it looks like you'd have to contort yourself to get them connected?

From the attached pic, you're going to have to look over your shoulder surely?
Not necessarily. The stockings can be moved around at the tops, and the belt can be moved around too.Ah okay - maybe I'll have to try some on and test it!
However, what you see in this pic is the common mistake with suspenders - the back straps are not supposed to curve right down the back of your arse cheeksI didn't know that - but when I think about it; it makes sense.
Of course, this is presuming you have a standard four-strap suspender. You can get 6/8/12/14/16/20 strap suspenders.Wow 20 - that has to be fetish wear surely?
If you look around at photos of models wearing suspenders, the fashion ones will have them down the side. The glamour ones will have them running right down their arse - because it’s only there temporarily for the photo shoot.I'm going to look this up. I'll see if I can come up with a picture demonstrating what you mean.
A bit off topic - but this gotta be a potentially painful garment!
Quite a big lady?
Big-ish, yeah. Lifting your arms above your head gives your boobs great shape (the roots of your boobs lift and the skin at the top of your torso and under your arms also pulls them up).I didn't know that. Another fascinating factoid Margaret. I will be testing this hypothesis the next time I am with a topless woman!
I’d say she’d be around the 32G mark.G was my first thought, but then I stared thinking she was bigger.
Big or small - boobs are great. But, what bra does this muscular young lady need?
Almost definitely going to be an A cupI wonder how many women never get past this size.
but, all boobs need some kind of supportIs that to stop them sagging over time?
and, to guard your nipples from showing through on a cold dayI think we've all seen that happen to women sometime - it would make you feel self-conscious probably.
So I asked ChatGPT a bra question: Margaret needs to be able to correctly fit a bra for a woman - how should she do this?
Fitting a bra correctly involves several steps to ensure a comfortable and supportive fit. Here are the basic steps that Margaret can follow:
Measure the band size: Start by measuring the band size around the woman's torso, just underneath the breasts. The tape measure should be snug but not too tight. If the measurement is an odd number, round up to the nearest even number.
Measure the cup size: Measure around the fullest part of the bust to get the cup size. Subtract the band size from the bust measurement to get the cup size. Use the chart below to determine the cup size:
0 inch difference = AA cup
1 inch difference = A cup
2 inch difference = B cup
3 inch difference = C cup
4 inch difference = D cup
5 inch difference = DD cup
6 inch difference = DDD/E cup
7 inch difference = F cup
8 inch difference = G cup
9 inch difference = H cup
10 inch difference = I cup
Check the fit: Have the woman try on a bra with the size determined from the measurements. The band should be snug around the torso but not too tight. The cups should fully contain the breasts without any spillage or gaping. The center of the bra should lay flat against the chest. The straps should be adjusted so they are not too loose or too tight.
Make adjustments: If the bra does not fit correctly, make adjustments to the band size or cup size as needed. Try on different sizes and styles to find the best fit.
Check for comfort: Once the correct size has been found, check for comfort. The bra should not dig into the skin or cause any discomfort. The woman should be able to move comfortably and freely while wearing the bra.
By following these steps, Margaret can help women find a bra that fits correctly and provides the necessary support and comfort.
That’s pretty decent!It is. The thing with this language model is you have to keep refining the question. So I rephrased the it and added the technique you mentioned.

Fitting a bra using the swoop and scoop technique involves four main steps:
Determine the band size:
Margaret should measure the underbust area, just below the breasts, in inches. This will give the band size. If the measurement is an odd number, Margaret should round it up to the nearest even number. For example, if the underbust measurement is 31 inches, the band size would be 32.
Determine the cup size:
Margaret should measure the fullest part of the breasts, usually at the nipple level, in inches. She should subtract the band size from this measurement to determine the cup size. For example, if the bust measurement is 38 inches and the band size is 32, the difference is 6. According to UK bra sizing, a difference of 6 corresponds to a cup size of a UK E.
Put on the bra correctly:
Margaret should fasten the bra on the loosest hook, ensuring that the bra is level on the back and the straps are adjusted to fit comfortably on the shoulders.
Use the swoop and scoop technique:
Margaret should lean forward slightly, and using the opposite hand to each breast, she should scoop each breast towards the center of the chest, ensuring that all the breast tissue is inside the bra cups. This technique will help ensure that the bra fits correctly and provides the necessary support.
It's important to note that bra fitting is not an exact science, and different brands and styles may fit differently. Margaret should also be mindful of any discomfort or bulging, as this may indicate that the bra is not the correct size or style for the individual.
Yes. It’s very good. I understand it gleans its information from available sources - so it must be scouring material published in recent years.As far as I understand it - it is a neural network, and generates text based on a learning model. So it hasn't copied this text verbatim, its added each word in the sentence based on a algorithm. Damn clever stuff.

I’ve been looking at tgr AI artwork thread too. I don’t know how to access these services, but o wonder if any of them could be used to design bras?That is an interesting question. I've not used art AI - I'm not sure if these would work as they seem to stylise images rather than invent anything. But I'm not 100% sure to be honest.
Okay - for today's challenge I thought I'd try some video. Hope it works.

Difficult to say because of thr angle - but possible 32F-34FF.Thanks. I had no idea on that one.

So for today - I thought I'd post this young lady as she has a more usual shape. I guess the normal criteria apply as to how you measure?
This is something that’s usually caused by weight gain, then weight loss. You’re left with a lot of excess tissue and a general sag. It’s unfortunate and I feel sympathy for her.Yep - a moment on the lips and a lifetime on the hips (or tits in her case)

Is this (attached) woman's bra a little loose? The top part seems too big, like she has lost weight or has the wrong size.
I also have a general question - and feel free to ignore it if you feel uncomfortable to answer it. Having a larger bust - is it a blessing or a curse? I'd imagine clothes could be tricky - a strapless evening gown may prove problematic. And getting a blouse to fit.
But then again. There must be some upsides? The attention you get from men - I guess that is a double edged swore too.
As for having big boobs. I’d say it’s more a curse than a blessing.I appreciate the reply. It was International Women's Day recently so I thought my question would be kinda appropriate. As a man, who doesn't have to deal with the issues of a large bust - I used to think big boobs were something all women would love to have. It is nice to be a bit more enlightened on this. To that extent - I will make an effort to not look at a girls chest (it is traumatically hard not too at times) when I meet someone with a large set. I don't want to make them feel self-conscious or uncomfortable.
It’s why I have difficulty understanding women who go super-sized - it must be physically and mentally tortuous; any advantage is surely outweighed by the numerous disadvantages.You're not the only one - I can't see having a huge fake chest is healthy. I also feel the same about a lot of body modifications. I wouldn't have a tattoo. And there is no way I'd take performance enhancing drugs just to be buff.
For me, they’re just a part of my body - like my ears or my feet. For you (and many of the denizens of the BEA), they’re a source of fascination and arousal.That is a good and healthy attitude - I feel the same about myself.

I think it is okay to be fascinated by big boobs, and I am. And I have no idea why I feel this way - it is something quite subconscious.
Many busty women are making a good living showing what they have. I support their freedom to do so. I was reading a thread on Reddit, it was in UK personal finance. The poster was asking how to lower their tax bill from the 150K they were making on Only Fans a year. Study for 10 years to be a Doctor and become a surgeon, or flash a big set of boobs and earn about the same. What an odd world we are in.
The best way to be is just be kind, appropriate and respectful.I agree.

So I saw this bra and pants combo - the bows on the bra straps. These are going to be uncomfortable if you are wearing this under a blouse, I say that, as I presume they will. I think it looks lovely, but why would a woman buy this if to only dance round the house in it?
And, while we are here - how big is her bust? I was looking at the door behind and I don't know if you can gauge her height by that or not.
PS not that I am against a women dancing round the house in undies.
And, on the plus side, it adds some spark in the bedroom.Works for me!
I’d say she’s possibly a 30F, maybe a 28G/GG?Thanks...
(us girls like frills, bows, lace, straps, clasps and other cute things)Not just you girls. I see there is a story today in the news of Chinese men modelling lingerie - maybe this could start a trend of mens lingerie.
the best way to hide the opening in the material was to top it off with a little bow.I wondered why it was put there.

One question I have been meaning to ask you. The Playtex adds on TV used to say as a tag line lifts and separates. I get the lift part , but separate? Isn't that an uncomfortable way to have your boobs - it seems modern bras mainly do the opposite of separate. Was it all just marketing.
I vaguely remember the Playtex ads (the one I recall the most is “cross your heart”). Lift and separate was probably more to do with giving you a certain shape. What good bras do now is lift and support.I found the add. This was 1982. Only $8.99 - bargain.

I've had the attached picture in my pictures folder for a few weeks now. It look comfortable - albeit the sheer material looks out of place to me. What are your thoughts?
That’s the ad (dubbed with US voices).I'd not noticed that, I assumed it was a US add. I can see the lip sync now.
The bodyshaper is gorgeous - it’s the Charnos Bioform thong body (remember I mentioned Bioform a few pages back?).It is - I can see why you'd like wearing one.
I’m not entirely convinced this was an actual item you could purchase though - I think it might have been a modification (note the model’s public hair showing - this tells me it’s not an official Charnos photo, because lingerie models usually wear liners on sheer briefs, or the photos get edited).I must admit I wondered about the pubic hair. I think this is what I found notable and usual in this piece of clothing. It doesn't seem practicable.
The reason I don’t think it’s a real item is because I’d have purchased one if it was.I did a reverse image search and that was the only image I could find. But the rabbit hole I'm in now after doing that with some lovely lingerie.

I see there is quite a variation of hip cuts - this one is quite extreme. I think this looks great - but like a lot of women clothes, practicability seems to be an afterthought. I feel sure that'd not stay in place with normal wear.
Yeah. It looks gorgeous, but (for me) thongs of any kind are like cheesewire. I can’t understand how anyone can wear them.I did try a thong once - its not for me either. Haha yes cheesewire is a good analogy.
Bodyshapers, on the other hand, are amazing. I don’t wear them as much as I used to, but when you find a suitable one, they are terrific under garments.How are they for comfort - I assume there is some added pressure in some places - if I have the whole concept right that is? How are they for someone with a bigger bust?
A zipper?
Goodness. I’ve had a front zipper on a corset, but never a basque. Takes all sorts I guess.I had this in my Downloads folder - this is the a corset with a zipper?
Bodyshapers are generally quite comfortable. Snug. They tend to really help with bigger boobs (assuming you get the right size/fit etc), keeping not just your boobs in shape but also the rest of you.I was just having a look here: https://body-shaper.co.uk/ They can be made [it seems] to really alter a woman's shape.

You zipped it at the front and laced it according to your fit/shape, then it was relatively easy to take on and off. I think I wore it twice. They’re not the most comfortable of garments to wear for prolonged periods.A zipper next to bare skin I find uncomfortable. I guess it has a little flap of material to cover the zip on the inside.
Mmmm… difficult to tell, but I’d be guessing in the G cup category. Possibly something like a 32G/GG.You zipped it at the front and laced it according to your fit/shape, then it was relatively easy to take on and off. I think I wore it twice.

Okay, back to a bit of sizing. As a side note, I often see girls walking about dressed like this - I'm in two minds about it to be honest.

Are these military grade suspenders? I've never seen them this substantial.
Not sure if we've done Holly before?
I used to have a 12-strap, like this oneWas that for fashion or functionality? I bet it took a bit of effort to do up all those straps.
Well… she’s wearing the wrong size of bra in this photo, for a start. She needs to go up a band size and possibly up a cup size.I thought it looked a little small.
Does she still model?I think so, she is relatively new to the scene.

I've just been going through some of the pictures I have an an external drive - found lots I'd forgotten I have - like this one.
This is a nice bra - seems a good fit for a big bust.
Edit - nah cup is too small.

Is this a balcony bra?
Yes. Sometimes also called a balconette. They tend to have a straighter neckline, sort of demi/half cups, straighter support and the straps tend to be slightly more towards the armpits. I tend to prefer a balcony bra if I can get one I like.Ah okay - is there a reason they are like that, or is it just fashion?

What do you reckon her cup & bra size is, Margaret? I guess she's at least an H cup.
I think this lady has a lovely figure and a pretty face. But is she a C or D?

So many "bra-size violations" have been burned into our collective boobhounds' minds for so long that it's crazy how those somehow seem to be "too small" to be an E cup.
She’s more likely to be something like a 28E or a 26F. (28E attached).I know the theory, but the band size and corresponding cup size still catch me out. It is probably more intuitive when you buy bras and wear them.

Okay today - I saw this pic and whilst wanting to know her size - it made me think. And forgive the naivety, but does having a large bust hinder mobility. I can just imagine trying to get up from a prone position with a weight on my chest.
Having big boobs definitely has an impact on all mobility (and posture) - the bigger your boobs, the bigger the issue.I appreciate your thoughts - I haven't experienced anything like having a large chest - but wearing a heavy backpack and feeling the change of equilibrium that gives maybe goes some-way to understanding the issues. I know that isn't a perfect analogy. And my back hurts after wearing one for a few hours.
They get in the way, they obstruct movement, they bump into things and - when not in a bra - they behave oddly during vigorous movement.This is one of the things I've wondered about - some of the most ubiquitous tasks like driving a car or cooking have got to be just tad more tricky if you have something obstructing your view. Sleeeping* on your front?
where your boobs smack together and make a clapping sound. I should also add that sudden or overstretched motions can be sore - the skin at the roots is stretched and can cause pain (eg. If you jump up and down while naked).I think men don't appreciate this aspect. Although - gotta say walking about naked my little fella can often get caught in things.
And, of course there’s back and shoulder problems from carrying around weight at the front of your torso.I reckon breasts have roughly the same weight as water. Just looked it up - and each one of your breasts (32FF) is 1.8 kg (4.0 lb) That is quite a bit of weight so I can completely understand how painful that is going to be.
I’d say having big boobs is about 80-90% a pain and barely 10% fun. But, you do get used to them - I rarely think about them, unless they’re causing me a problem.Would you ever consider a reduction? There would have been a time when you didn't have them - I wonder if there was a point when your thought - oh no - too big now!
~I love answering questions like this, as it forces me to think about them and how they affect me (and how having big boobs probably affects other women too). Ask more!Well we all appreciate you taking the time to answer our questions. At the end of the day the more we unsterstand about our fellow humans the better this world is going to be.

*Blocked word for some reason - added an extra E
The kinds of things that cause me problems are finding clothes that I feel good in. But there’s also other activity, like exercise, that can be challenging.Are there retailers that specialise in clothes for bustier women? I remember a shop in my home town that only sold outsized clothes for men. You'd think there'd be something similar for women with bigger busts with properly tailored clothes. I'm just thinking about women I know and how they choose clothes - a woman with a bust much bigger than her waist and things don't always hang right. Do you think colour is an important consideration when choosing clothes - I say that as it seems to me a well chosen colour and style can make a busier woman look completely different.
I definitely can’t **82** on my back - my boobs splay out left-right.I have a friend who actually sleeps sitting up on many occasions (okay she does snore and she does it primarily for that). I don't know how she does that to be honest - she does lay on a her back too - never on her front. I sleeep on my side - but I also fidget from one side to the other - that can't be a easy with a bigger bust?
As for a reduction, I’ve considered it in the past - but not seriously. I don’t really remember not having boobs.I think as long as you are healthy and they are not causing you too much pain, natural is probably best.
I’ve had them since I was about 10/11 (I think), and they just gradually got bigger. I recall noticing their size around age 22-23,Isn't 10 quite young to get boobs, I thought it was a little older than that. I'm trying to remember what the girls at school were like at that age. I only noticed them (girls) at 15/16 probably.
I really noticed how ridiculous things had got when I was pregnant - but then everything got big when I was pregnant and never really went back to normal. Now, I’m kind of used to them - but I wouldn’t complain if they were smaller.I think your experience of pregnancy is quite common, it does seem like once you grow due to those pregnancy hormones it is hard to un-grow.
I was looking at this today - not a view I get that often. More common if you have some boobs...It’s not quite as downward an angle as that. But it’s not far off.
Its an interesting way to see the world.

A new image for your delectation.
Following on from the theme of how they look for her - but how big is she?
Too difficult to tell. Probably up at 32G maybe?Yeah not the best image - I should have chosen something better. I have a better one for tomorrow.
Jeeez!
What do you reckon Karla's bra size was, Margaret? Because she is much bigger now!
Jeeez!Mind blowing...
This pic of a woman in front of a mirror - hopefully is a good one for an estimate - I was thinking 32JJ?
And a bonus question:
One of my favs Karin Spolnikova - do you agree with the 36G as stated below?
https://www.boobpedia.com/wiki/index.php?title=Karin_Spolnikova (https://www.boobpedia.com/wiki/index.php?title=Karin_Spolnikova)
Possibly 32JJ, but she’s low hanging, so perhaps 34J. But it’s there or thereabouts.I wasn't too far off then.
If she’s 5’5”, I’d say she’s more a 32F. She’s never a 36G in a month of Sundays.That is what I thought - just goes to show half the stuff you see on websites (especially adult ones) is often garbage.
I may get shot for this Score image*
So the challenge here Margaret - you have to go out; you realise you only have one pair of clean underwear... (oh no)
So what bra (colour) do you go with?

While I do like red, I’d go for the lighter coloured one. It would work under most tops or dresses.I didn't used to like red lingerie, but it is growing on me. I thought you'd go for the lighter one, as you say it won't show under a blouse.

Today's challenge: I quite like these mirror pics as you get a better overview. I'm going for 30G - what do you reckon?
PS, Although, maybe 28 band-size.
It’s certainly close to 30G. I always draw a comparison with my own size (32FF), and I think I’m slightly bigger than this woman (both back size and boobs), but it’s there or thereabouts.I did think FF for a bit, but went with the bigger size as I sometimes seem to under estimate.
Before I forget - I liked your idea of correcting the stated sizes of the women on Boobpedia.I'll have another look at the site and pick another out for examination.
Okay...
In a new series of challenges - I will be picking women from Boobpedia for inspection.
Today we have a fan favorite Roberta Pedon - https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Roberta_Pedon (https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Roberta_Pedon)
Not sure why her name came in to my head, but I thought she's be a worthy first. Page stats say: 36-23-35in, 36F (80F)
As a supplement.
The shoes - hit or miss?
I’d be thinking more like 32/34 back and something like 32GG or 34G.I think that is a better estimate. I'm going to have to create a document with all the new data on the models you've estimated. There is a lot in the thread so far; not sure I'll go back and re-read it all - I'll just start with the new ones.
I’d have to see more photos to be surer, but she’s definitely not 36F.Here's a few vids - https://www.freeones.com/videos?f%5Btags%5D=Roberta%20Pedon
I am not a fan of open-toed shoes or sandals. I don’t like toes! Classic heels for me. All the way.It was the sparkly appearance that took my eye. I hadn't thought about them being open toed - I'm not a fan off sandals either, always stub my toes.

Having seen the videos, I’m revising this to 32F/34FF.Seeing a video does give the best view - I find some pictures are a bit misleading at times, even if they're not doctored.

Today I have picked Ines Cudna for consideration - https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Ines_Cudna (https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Ines_Cudna)
The website says 34F - she has gained weight since her early modeling days and seems to do lingerie modeling now - but she still looks great, I actually prefer her look now if I was to be honest. Most of the pictures out there will be her early stuff. I saw a YouTube short recently of her doing lingerie, but I can never find things again once I lose them. If I can find it I'll post a link as it'll be interesting to see how she has changed.
I've just found her Instagram account (I wont post the full link) inescudnamodel
34F seems a reasonably good assessment, but I think she’s possibly more like a 32GG.I will add that to the spreadsheet.
Oh, and she’s beautiful! I really like her.She really is. Ewa Sonnet and her were both models on the now deduct Busty.pl.

Taking busty.pl - one of the other models of that era - Bea Flora - https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Bea_Flora The site says 34G - not sure that is right. I can't believe she is 41 already.
I’m going to go with 34HHOkay cheers. Who next.
I’m going to go with 34HHOkay cheers. Who next.
I'm going to try to keep this to models weknowthink that are natural.
A lady that came to mind yesterday is the prolific antipodean porn star Angela White - https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Angela_White 34H? I think that is about right - she looks bigger in other pictures, probably as her weight has fluctuated.
From what I understand, she’s a very tiny lady - like, 5’3 or 5’2”. Even in heels she only gets to about 5’7”.I thought she was taller to be honest - boobs look bigger on smaller ladies.
She also tends to wear one cup size smaller, to emphasise her boobs more.She probably wears something more comfortable when she is doing the shopping.
She’s square in 30G/32FF territory. Possibly even 32F. I’m going to go for 32FF, due to the similarity with my own boobs.I shall mark her down as 32FF.
I was thinking about someone a bit taller this time. So how about 5' 11" (my own height).
Eva Herzigova - I well remember that billboard add with the Wonderbra. https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Eva_Herzigova 32C?
And I also had a WonderBra (not very comfy, and pushed my boobs up way too high).They didn't look comfy - imagine to have to wear one of them for an evening out. Can you still buy them in the shops?
I’ll go in the middle with 30E.Okay, I shall note her as 30E.

I'm picking these women on a random basis - so as a model comes in to my head I shall look her up. So that said: here we have Sensual Jane - https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Sensual_Jane
I love how they describe her pubic hair landing strip. Do we think 34G is about right?
Yep. 34FF/34G seems about right.I have six in my spreadsheet already.
Yep. 34FF/34G seems about right.I have six in my spreadsheet already.
One more today then: Kelly Madison - https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Kelly_Madison
Another 34G? This is almost like doing some proper research into boobs sizes - albeit a subset of the female population - I wonder what the average size is likely to be. We're already seeing a theme it seems. Or is that just my own bias - we'll see.
I’m going to go for 34J, she’s broad, full-on bottom and broad shouldered.Okay thanks - she must have the most variation of stated size so far. Although, I'm still not fully au fait with sister sizing yet.

I hadn't noticed the shoulders - yeah I see it now.
Following on from Kelly's J lets try an H...
Fiona Siciliano - https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Fiona_Siciliano Looking at her pictures, I'm unsure - with your keen eye what do you think?
I’ve looked through a lot of photos of this lady and it seems she’s changed a lot as time as gone on. 28H isn’t impossible - but I’d be expecting slightly bigger boobs with more fullness.Yep, one of the tricky things about assessing women's boobs is how much they can change. I'm no expert, but having been round women long enough they can be up and down quite a bit.
but she looks more like a 30 back now - and if she’s a 30 back, she’s never H (or GG). I’d think she’s more like a 30F, 30FF at a push. In later years, I’d be happy to accept she’s a 30G.In the Boobpedia pic she looks H (to me anyway), but in other photos she looks a lot smaller - 30G is what we'll go with.

Another Virgo today and moving up the band size a bit - Brandy Ryder - https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Brandy_Ryder (https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Brandy_Ryder) - 40G is what they state?
Hello Margaret,
how about Paige British?
On boobpedia she is stated to be a 34G and beeing 5"3' tall, having 2300cc implants.
Think her size isn't correct on boobpedia as she looks way much bigger,
e.g. Kayla Kiss is listed as 34G with nearly the same hight (Kayla: 5"5'), but Kayla looks much smaller.
Apologies - I’ve been unable to get logged in again.We kept the seat warm for you.

Okay then - going up the scale a bit. Lilith Grant - https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Lovely_Lilith - 34N seems huge?
Have we done Milena Velba - honestly I can't remember. We haven't used the Boobpedia entry if we have.
https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Milena_Velba (https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Milena_Velba) 38K, this has gotta be in the right ballpark?
She looks quite like someone I know (not the boobs)
She’s never a 34N. Maybe 32/34J?I thought N was a tad too big, nice to get a corroboration.
I suspect this lady has done a lot of modelling work post-pregnancy; which would make her boobs seem unusually huge (I went from about 30FF to 34GG after my second baby, and I couldn’t quite comprehend it).I think she has been one of those girls that always had big boobs - there
Does she still model?I think she packed it in fairly recently - reportedly had a reduction. She is still one of my favs and always will be.
Does she still model?
As far as I can tell, she's still modeling, although a couple of years ago she was going to close her site down, but thankfully there was a reprieve.
I think she packed it in fairly recently - reportedly had a reduction. She is still one of my favs and always will be.
Okay this is going to be a tricky one. Karla's bust has really grown over time, so I'm not sure at what point we should take an estimation.
https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Karla_James (https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Karla_James) Boobpedia says 40O jeez...
I took this photo from the forum thread.

When looking for someone else.
Nilli Willis - https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Nilli_Willis
40F seems a bit wild, surely her band is a lot less than that?
But she looks more like a 34FF/G.Thanks - I will make a note of that one.
But she looks more like a 34FF/G.Thanks - I will make a note of that one.
Changing gears a bit - Vivian Blush - https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Vivian_Blush The site says 36K? Not so sure myself.
Another Slavic woman.
Kira Liv - https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Kira_Liv (https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Kira_Liv) - 36M?
Maybe more like 36L.She's our first lady with a 36 band size.
Maybe more like 36L.She's our first lady with a 36 band size.
So lets try a 28 band size - April O'Neill - https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/April_O%27Neil
Site says 28E with remeasurements of 30DD-23-32 in. I'm not sure how 30DD equals 28E to be honest (must be sister sizing)- she is 5' 1"
(30DD/28E is a sister sizing match - if you go up a band size, you go down a cup size, if you go down a band size, you go up a cup size).I still find this hard to get my head round.
(30DD/28E is a sister sizing match - if you go up a band size, you go down a cup size, if you go down a band size, you go up a cup size).I still find this hard to get my head round.
In my mind - a bra measurement, the number corresponds to the band size - the cup size being the difference between that and across the bust measurement. I guess this is right, but when you need to go up a bit or down a bit you try a sister size.
So, we don't have 38 band on our list.
I have my doubts about the stats on Maria Whittaker are accurate, 38 band seems too big - https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Maria_Whittaker - 38E?
Remember three key things about bra fitting: the bands are only available in even-numbered sizes (28, 32, 38 and so on)Ah yes of course, I hadn't thought of that.
the bands have rows of hooks and eyes to compensate for variances in back sizes.I hadn't really taken that in to consideration either. I guess if I wore a bra I'd be more used to that idea.
Also, the bands have Lycra in them (most do, anyway), so that helps compensate.Was it you that said that as a bra wears it will stretch - and the hooks at the back are to accommodate for that?
A beautiful woman, and along with Samantha Fox, another example of what was considered “big boobed” in the late 80s in the UK, but wouldn’t be now.Indeed - I don't remember any ladies with really big busts back then, certainly not in my social circle. Although, just had a flash memory of a very busty woman I met once. But women like that were quite uncommon which is why I remember the encounter.
All the boys were very excited to meet her.I would have been too.
I’d say 30GG.I will note her as 30GG.
On the theme of Page 3 girls.
Samantha Fox - https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Samantha_Fox_(Page_3_girl) - 34D seems about right?
I know it is none of my business - but her sexual preference fascinates me, bearing in mind her sexual appeal back when she was on Page 3. Great to see how we have moved on with these issues and that people can be themselves. But if guys on the building site reading The Sun at tea break ever knew!
A bit of a different one.
I was watching a video of Abbi Secraa taking off her bra and one thing stood out (no not that) - the red marks on her shoulder. You can see this hurt as she rubs the marks once the bra is off.
I get weal marks from my bras, so god only knows what it’s like for her. I can’t begin to imagine what it’s like carrying around that much weight of boobs.Definitely sore for her.
I’d say she would be more like a 28F/FF.Okay, I shall note her as 28FF.
I’m just happy to see someone happy.I agree completely.
I also forgot they she’s literally only a few years older than me.Yeah she did start doing modelling quite young. Nothing weird about this - In early 1983, sixteen-year-old Samantha Fox posed in her bedroom, wearing lingerie, while her mother Carole took pictures for The Sunday People newspaper'

To young people the 80's will be history - ha ha I love to tell young people how life was back then - no central heating, no internet, no daytime TV. I had to walk to school...
Okay, getting back on track - as I brought her up, maybe we'd see what Boobpedia says - https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Abbi_Secraa -
Today we have another favorite of mine.
Kerry Marie - https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Kerry_Marie (https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Kerry_Marie) Site say's 34K?
I’m more inclined to think she’s something like a 34HH or 36H. K seems a stretch - I’d expect her to be bigger, like Leanne Crow, but she doesn’t have the same rounded fullness.I thought K was likely too big - have we done Leanne, I've lost count of who we've done.

From Portsmouth to Prague.
Terry Nova - https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Terry_Nova Site says 34H. That may be in the ballpark I think?
I think that’s about right.The first one Boobpedia has got right so far then.
I think that’s about right.The first one Boobpedia has got right so far then.
Going back to Abbi for a sec - as I understand it the band does much of the work carrying the weight of breasts. So should the band be stiffer and less flexible - I can see why you'd want some flexibility for breathing, but I always think bra are too lightweight for the work they have to do. I'm sure this is taken in to consideration when they make them, but maybe if you want support you need a granny type bra?
And, in her case, the straps were way too thin for that amount of weight - surely they'd need to be an inch thick to distribute that amount of weight without pressure points.
Over to British TV for this next one. (and not the US conspiracy theorist by the same name) And who knew she had big boobs!
Alex Jones - https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Alex_Jones (https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Alex_Jones) 30E seems legit?
she’s just not wearing the right kind of bra for her band size and boob size.I'm surprised they make them like that for bigger ladies. It must be obvious that it is only going to wearable for a short time.

The attached pic is the what I had in mind - and front fastening. Now this looks much more comfortable.
Remember, your boobs want to be free - wearing a bra holds them in place. It’s a fine balancing act.I guess it is both form, fit and function - I have seen some other (more traditional) bras with wider straps. A woman's body is a tricky engineering challenge. I just hate to think all these big busted ladies are uncomfortable.
Okay staying in Wales.
Sarah Nicola Randall - https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Sarah_Nicola_Randall (https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Sarah_Nicola_Randall) - 32HH?
Can I also say, she is so beautiful too. I just admire these women so much.I agree - my perspective is also an appreciation of the female body.
I hope you’re keeping track of all these?Yep, see attached.
I’d love to fit all these ladiesA lot of models seem to wear the wrong size - what we don't know is whether this is just for the pics or is that what they wear day-to-day. I'd quite like to know that.
I’ve seen one single photo of her yet where she’s wearing a bra that properly fits her. Perhaps that’s the idea - but they generally look too small (or they’re the wrong style for her shape/projection).She seems to have really firm boobs, something I feel (haha yes) that varies a bit between women even of the same age. I assume that isn't something that alters the fitting at all?
Staying with the Welsh theme.
Lorna Morgan - https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Lorna_Morgan - 30K? This seems okay - what is the sister sizing for that, I bet her band isn't 30.
I’ve seen this woman sell her old lingerie on eBay.Was she selling them as they are, or did she market them as fan merchandise?
She’s sold everything from 30G to 32J, which I assume has to do with pregnancy and weight gain/loss. I’d say she’s there or thereabouts. Probably something like 30JJ.Okay 30JJ is it.
Oh, and she is GORGEOUS.She is indeed.

There seems to be some conflicting information given by both Alexis and other websites online about her infamous chest size.
For example, while discussing Scottish women as being naturally busty, she remarks with pride to Scoreland that she wears a 30FF bra, and that she has to special order her bras from catalogs. Her former site also indicates her bust size as 30G.[3]
In terms of Alexis - I’ve never seen this woman before. I’d estimate her to be something like a 32E/F, maybe at a push a 30FF.I shall note her as a 32F
I’m a 32FF, and my boobs are much bigger than hers.Goodness gravy Margaret. I should put you on the list!

Over to Italy now. I used to work with an Italian and oneusefulphrase he taught me in Italian was mammella grande - he knew I liked big boobs. I think we may have done Mady before, but we haven't cross-referenced with Boopedia on her size. She isn't on my list so far.
Mady Gio - https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Mady_Gio (https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Mady_Gio) - site say's 36G - not sure how tall she is, but 36 band seems a tad big?
Edit: Just found the entry on Mady in this thread - at the time you said "I’m going to say 32J, but she could easily also be a 32H/HH too" Does that still stand?
As we've covered Mady before I shall do another challenge for Margaret.
Virginia Bell - https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Virginia_Bell - site just say's F, she looks way bigger to me.
She looks like a 32GG/H.Okay thanks...
She looks like a 32GG/H.Okay thanks...
I know I said I'd not do girls with implants, but I will divert for a sec and get you to estimate this lady. Something came in to ny head last night about the first adult DVD I ever bought - and this woman was on it.
Montana Mounds - https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Montana_Mounds (https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Montana_Mounds) - 36F?
What's surprising to me is Montana Mounds never got a thread in the BEA. Not even many mentions of her. She's certainly stacked and pretty enough. :o
I’m happy to size the women with implants - they fascinate me the most!I've put Montana down as a 34GG.
If this lady is only 5’2” then there’s no way she’s a 42 back. I can’t even see her being a 42” chest either (although, I’m a 32FF and I’m a 39” chest). I reckon that’s where the 42 is coming from - it’s her overbust measurement. In which case, I reckon she’s possibly a 34 back and a G cup. So, possibly around 34G.I’m happy to size the women with implants - they fascinate me the most!I've put Montana down as a 34GG.
Sadly no longer with us - but one of my favs - Joyce Gibson - https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Joyce_Gibson (https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Joyce_Gibson) - 42F?
Another woman I've been thinking of.
Marilyn Lange - https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Marilyn_Lange (https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Marilyn_Lange) - 38F?
Today's challenge and sticking with the 70's.
Janet Lupo - https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Janet_Lupo (https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Janet_Lupo) - 38F?
Thanks for Marilyn and Joyce... Something about women of that era.
We have 27 women on the list now so I'd thought I would post the cup size chart. I have a band size one too, but I can't figure out how to combine the two charts.
In which case, I reckon she’s a 28GG or a 30G.I hadn't noticed her slim band - I've just been looking at some other pics and now you've pointed it out I can see it.
She has a very similar bodyshape and boobs shape to Danni Ashe (I reckon Danni is a 32FF), but with a much smaller back.Both have fantastic figures.
I’m not sure how you could go about this.Its just a chart showing all the women you've estimated so far - just a visual representation of the data.
Bra charts often look something like this.Thanks for the chart, it shows the sister sizing quite well.
Another favorite of mine.
September Carrino - https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/September_Carrino - 34K seems about right - what do you think?
Also, she’s one of those models who does a lot of back arching and projecting her upper torso, so she’s always going to give an impression of huge, rounded boobs.I can understand why she does that for the camera. I must admit you see things I completely miss in these pics. I often never think about a models height, I do tend to think of them taller than they are actually.
However, she’s a stunningly beautiful lady, with absolutely huge boobs for her size.Agreed.
I did a bit of digging and found a measuring video which gave 28 for her underbust and 38 for her overbust. Depending on her leaning and lying measurements, that’s going to give me a 28GG/H. But I’m going to diverge slightly here - because every photo I see of her tells me to try a 28J. I would really only know for sure if I could try her with some bras. Also, I found her on social media, and the current photos of her look as though she’s either had a reduction, is doing a good job of minimising - or, just doesn’t pose as much to over-emphasise her shape.I'm just having a look at the chart you posted yesterday. That one doesn't show 28J so I guess 28J would be something like a 30GG?

I wonder if the reductions is weight loss - Stacey Poole's boobs changed somewhat after she lost weight. Mind you, I'd want to reduction if I had 28J boobs.
And, am I right in thinking no 'I' in any bra chart?
Yep - there’s no ‘I’ bra.I wonder why though, it isn't like 'I' would be confused with one in this context. What about US or EU bras, do they have an 'I'?

I’ve never managed to find out why there’s no ‘I’, but I suspect it’s for similar reasons that there’s no I in UK car plates - because it looks like a 1. So you would have a 32I etc.I guess ther'd be no 'O' for the same reason?

Today for the challenge we have the legend that is:
Christina Lucci - https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Christina_Lucci (https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Christina_Lucci) - 34E?
What a beautiful lady.She’s 5’3”, so a 34 back seems a stretch. She looks more like a 32F.She was everywhere back in the mid 2000's.

But then, we all change.Yep, [sigh]
Okay - today we have Sensual Jane (I don't think her name is really Jane)
https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Sensual_Jane (https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Sensual_Jane) - 34G seems legit? Just noticed they quote a weight, 60kg (132 lbs), its probably nonsense. But I was just thinking, women with bigger boobs are going to be heavier than flat chested women surely?
32/34G seems about right.Okay thanks.
The bigger the boobs, the more weight you’re carrying around - but it’s a difficult thing to define without complex maths/physics.On the bra size wiki there is a section on this.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bra_size (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bra_size)
For your size 34FF it states your breasts would be 1.8kg. That weight is going to be noticeable I reckon, especially as you boobs aren't distributed about your body. A women with 38J is going to be carrying over 5kg! It just goes to show how important a bra is to a woman who is bigger.
As it is her birthday today I thought we should do this Ecuadorian model Antonella Kahllo
https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Antonella_Kahllo (https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Antonella_Kahllo)
32K @ 4.8kg
Oh my, she’s beautiful.South American women certainly have that extra special ingredient.
She’s possibly 32KK (sometimes her bras look slightly too tight). But she’s big (boobs-wise at least - she’s teeny-tiny in height).I shall put her down as a 32KK.

Okay closer to home for this next one - Joey Fisher.
https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Joey_Fisher (https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Joey_Fisher) - 32H
She has quite rare green eyes.
I think 32H is a stretch. She is tall, but I’d be thinking more 32G.Thanks.

Juliana Simms - https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Juliana_Simms (https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Juliana_Simms) - 40F?
Cheers for the 40G.
Not sure if we've done Yulia Nova before - she isn't on my spreadsheet
https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Yulia_Nova
This is the sort of Russkiy Mir I can support.
I’d love to know how they arrive at these figures.That's why we do this vital work - righting the wrongs of the Internet!
And her boobs look big, with a lot of projection and west-east set.Okay, this is a new term?
I’d be thinking she was more like a 30GG/H.Thanks for the comparison pic.
Okay then - the next contestant.
Petra Verkaik.
https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Petra_Verkaik
The site says 32I (I didn't think there was an 'I') I feel this may be wrong?

I don’t know where they’re getting that from. 32 is probably about right, given her height. But, I’d say she’s probably a 32G, maybe GG at a push.
In terms of above, west-east is how some women describe how their boobs are set (each boob points a little bit to the west and east). East-west is rare. Some boobs are “low set” - meaning they hang or droop (or the roots are slightly lower down the torso). Then you get full-on-top - where your boobs have a rounded shape at the top of the boobs, or full-on-bottom, where most of the tissue and weight is on the underside. Some women are high set, where their boobs are quite rounded and nearer the top of their torso. Some women are close set, where their boobs sit tightly together in the middle - some women are wide-set, where their boobs are quite far apart (this often happens with implants). And then you have a load of other descriptions (mostly just unofficial or anecdotal) to describe boob shape (often based on fruit) - and there’s also descriptions of nipples that vary too (dinner plates, 45’ record, compact disc, perky, inverted, protruding, volume knob, cleat, soccer stud, light switch, pacifier etc etc etc).

I saw this post and noticed that it is number 666 for Margaret and I hope that doesn't presage something bad. :o ;) ;D
In terms of above, west-east is how some women describe how their boobs are set (each boob points a little bit to the west and east).Jeez, I had no idea - like the Eskimos have lots of words for snow. It is fascinating to hear how many types of boobs there are (yes, I've seen a lot of variation) but I didn't know you ladies had a term for each type.

Pacifier = nipples that look like a **09**’s pacifier (a “dummy” in UK-speak).Ah got it - and I never knew that a pacifier was a dummy.

Valory Irene (Slava Ukraini)
https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Valory_Irene
The site says 34G - I think she could be bigger than that to honest. And ah, some of the nipples you mentioned.
Okay - the next challenger is:
Taylor Stevens.
https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Taylor_Stevens - 36I (nope)
There doesn’t seem to be any consistency in this lady’s weight, so it’s hard to determine what her (current) size is. It could be anything.Fair point - her weight has fluctuated quite a bit. Tricky to get a measure on her size.

As we don't have a K cup yet on our list (KK not K) I thought I'd find a model that reports to have a K cupped bra.
Alexsis Faye.
https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Alexsis_Faye
38K - not sure myself.
So far then:
34G looking popular.Yeah it is shaping up that way - obviously this isn't a representation of the general population, but still, interesting.

Okay, trying to find a K cup.
Alicia Loren
https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Alicia_Loren
38K? This seems fairly realistic, and she 5' 8"
I’d go for 38K. She is quite low set - so once the boobs are in the cups and lifted, a K would probably work.Our first K cup.

I guess the idea of measuring when a woman is leaning forward is to compensate for having a low set?
I thought I'd balance the list a bit with a lady with a smaller bust.
Amanda Davidson
https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Amanda_Davidson (https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Amanda_Davidson)
34C seems okay, we have no height info though.
If she’s a 34 back, then she’s going to be more like a 34E, but I think she’s more like a 28F.Cheers I will put her down as a 28F.
In terms of measuring, yes - you get a leaning bust because low set boobs can be deceptive. You sometimes find that boobs which look flat all of a sudden assume a huge amount of volume when you pop them into the cups and they round out.That must be weird experience for women, where your boobs, albeit the same volume can look and probably feel quite different depending on the bra.

Abigail Ratchford (Another green eyed beauty)
https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Abigail_Ratchford
36E - 5' 8" so quite tall.
Okay then - the next customer.
Devin Brugman
https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Devin_Brugman (https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Devin_Brugman)
32F - I'm thinking this is not far off.
Goodness, she’s beautiful. 32 back doesn’t seem right - she’s tall and slim. I’d be thinking more 28 back, probably something like a 28FF.Yeah she is - okay 28FF it is

Okay the next contestant.
Bella Brewer - https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Bella_Brewer - 34K - maybe. She is (although this website is unreliable) 82kg, I think she maybe broader than 34.
Yeah. She’s possibly more like 34J.Cheers.
Yeah. She’s possibly more like 34J.Cheers.
The list is lacking smaller ladies, I don't have anyone in the C and D category. Although to be honest I can't think of any. So I suspect I will keep with the current arrangement.
Okay today then, something different - for non UK readers this lady is a national weather forecaster. I think she looks quite busty on TV, I have been meaning to add her to the challenge every time I see the weather forcast. We have no data for her size that I can see. So I wonder how big she is?
Carol Kirkwood - https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Carol_Kirkwood (https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Carol_Kirkwood)
Ha. I know of Carol. Such a delight to see on air (and keeping older women in the limelight too!).What is the saying - the older the tree the sweeter the fruit.
I’d be thinking something like a 34GG/H.Still quite big.

Paola Ruiz - https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Paola_Ruiz - no size stated for this lady. So not much to go on.
https://www.indexxx.com/m/paola-rios
Too difficult to tell, but it’s something like a 28D/E.Yes a tricky one - I shall put her down as a 28D

https://www.ogglebooble.com/album.html?folder=22114
But, she looks super slim in the back, so I’m going to go for 30G.You see stuff I never see - once you point it out I see it. She is slimmer than I thought, I can see how 30G would be right.

So talking slim women - I don't think we've done Tessa Fowler.
https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Tessa_Fowler (https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Tessa_Fowler) - 30J and 5' 1"? I like this shape of Tessa's boobs, but (as with lots of women) they look different in different pics.
This one is easy, because she did a measuring video a while back.Ah I missed that.
she might be slightly more comfortable in a 28HH28HH is it then
Can I just say, she is captivatingly beautiful too - and so charming when she speaks. I love her!She is gorgeous - and (for me) it is always great to hear the accents of the models. I can't recall Tessa voice, I must have heard it, I think it is fairly generic US.

A couple of ladies off the top of my head with intresting accents are: Leanne Crow (she is from Sunderland) and Stacey Poole, who seems to have a north west English accent, or is it Yorkshire. haha, I don't know now.
Okay as Tessa was too easy lets try another.
Marketa Pechova (know as Chikita) - https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Marketa_Pechova - 34E? Love this womans figure - if I was a woman this is what I'd want to look like.
Possibly a 26GG.That'll be the first lady to have a 26 band. I don't even have that on the chart!
So talking slim women - I don't think we've done Tessa Fowler.
https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Tessa_Fowler (https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Tessa_Fowler) - 30J and 5' 1"? I like this shape of Tessa's boobs, but (as with lots of women) they look different in different pics.
This one is easy, because she did a measuring video a while back. 28” back, 39” overbust. Depending on her leaning and lying bust, that’s going to get me a 28H in a UK bra, but she might be slightly more comfortable in a 28HH, as her underbust was very snug. She’s possibly grown slightly since then. (She completely gets her bra size wrong in the video).
Can I just say, she is captivatingly beautiful too - and so charming when she speaks. I love her!

Tessa is a modern goddess... she hasn't posted anything to her Onlyfans in months, though, I hope she's allright.
She's got more than one boob measuring video, I watched all of them, and she always comes out US J cup.
I got another question though.... there's a different model I've always really wanted to know the measurements but just in a certain video, because she is just MASSIVE with milk. (It's a lactation video)
But it's a Daktari video. If Ms Margaret is even willing to watch it, it is allowed to give a URL to it without posting a photo? Is it allowed to give enough detail to make it easy to find?
Post, I can hack it.
but what does the B-J tag on the strap mean?Blow job safe...

Possibly a 26GG.That'll be the first lady to have a 26 band. I don't even have that on the chart!
Okay - over to the archives now.
Pat Wynn - https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Pat_Wynn (https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Pat_Wynn).
I haven't seen any of her pics for a while - she looks smaller than I remember. The perm gives the era away...
So talking slim women - I don't think we've done Tessa Fowler.
https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Tessa_Fowler (https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Tessa_Fowler) - 30J and 5' 1"? I like this shape of Tessa's boobs, but (as with lots of women) they look different in different pics.
This one is easy, because she did a measuring video a while back. 28” back, 39” overbust. Depending on her leaning and lying bust, that’s going to get me a 28H in a UK bra, but she might be slightly more comfortable in a 28HH, as her underbust was very snug. She’s possibly grown slightly since then. (She completely gets her bra size wrong in the video).
Can I just say, she is captivatingly beautiful too - and so charming when she speaks. I love her!
Tessa is a modern goddess... she hasn't posted anything to her Onlyfans in months, though, I hope she's allright.
She's got more than one boob measuring video, I watched all of them, and she always comes out US J cup.
I got another question though.... there's a different model I've always really wanted to know the measurements but just in a certain video, because she is just MASSIVE with milk. (It's a lactation video)
But it's a Daktari video. If Ms Margaret is even willing to watch it, it is allowed to give a URL to it without posting a photo? Is it allowed to give enough detail to make it easy to find?

See me after class.
It means B-J cup. As in, this bra is available in a B-J.
I spotted this girl some time ago on the Curvy Kate instagram page. Isn't she just beautiful?Stacy Vandenberg - I can't find a Boobpedia entry for her. I will put her down as 32K.

I have no clue how a model who's been around as long as she has can have flown under their radar.I was surprised she isn't on there too. Unless she has requested not too be.
Here's a woman with a controversial back story. But I thought she'd interesting I couldn't remember her name until I saw it on the forum today - better post before I forget again..
Faith Nelson - https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Faith_Nelson - 32G.
And an extra to get me to 7K.
Donna Ambrose - https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Donna_Ambrose 34G (wow is she really 57)
her boobs seem to have increased in size over the years (it happens to many of us).I wonder if that was pregnancy that did that. Women seem to get bigger (natural) boobs either with weigh gain or pregnancy.

For everyone else, I just asked Ms Margaret about Katerina Hartlova in her milky video with Hitomi Tanaka. It's a Daktari video, so no screenshots, clips, or URLs or anything, sorry. Im sure people can find it.
Boobpedia had Katerina at 5'6" and a 34G at the start of her career, but that can't be right for that video.

Okay today's candidate.
Christy Canyon - https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Christy_Canyon (https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Christy_Canyon) - 36E?
Righty-ho then.
Nadine Jansen - https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Nadine_Jansen (https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Nadine_Jansen) - 42O.
When she started modeling, she possessed a 41" bust measurement, and a European size 80FF (US size 36FF) brassiere. In a video clip from her website, Nadine measured her bust line with a standard tape measure. After turning around completely to show the measurement procedure was accurate, her bust line was shown to be a convincing 46". By July, 2003 her bustline had reportedly increased to 47". In recent years, her bra size has also increased to 34H. In January 2007, she announced her bust reached a J cup bra size. In a photo shoot at 4 months of pregnancy, the tape measure shows her bustline was 49".
In an unofficial video posted on her website, friend and fellow big breast model Milena Velba weighed Nadine's breasts on an old-style Salter kitchen food scale. When weighed together, Nadine's breast were approximately 7.5 lbs. Weighed separately, the right breast was about 3.5 lbs. and the left breast was about 3 lbs.
Lately her bra size had slightly increased and currently on her website her bra size was listed at 85H (38H in US size).
If she’s 5’4” and on the heavier side, we’re up in the 36-38 back territory, possibly 40, and unquestionably beyond normal cup sizes. So, something like 38L/LL.So custom bras? I'm curious how much these cost, and how do you go about getting one.
When things get to a certain size, you have limited options.If she’s 5’4” and on the heavier side, we’re up in the 36-38 back territory, possibly 40, and unquestionably beyond normal cup sizes. So, something like 38L/LL.So custom bras? I'm curious how much these cost, and how do you go about getting one.
My first job after school was working in a small fashion retailer making one-off garments, so I ask the question with some knowledge of making patterns for people.
I have Abbi Secraa @ 36LL and Nadine Jansen @ 38LL - when we get to very large sizes like that, I guess the difference isn't that much?
When things get to a certain size, you have limited options.That seems like a life lesson right there...
You can wear bras that are as close a fit as you can get, which isn’t ideal.Indeed.
You can not wear a bra at all, which is a terrible idea.I guess that would lead to the skin stretching - and ah, boobs lower down over time.
I’d expect anything from £150>, and even then it might not do the job too well.Jeez, that is quite a sum for a bra. I wonder if standard sizes will get larger like dress sizes have over the last few years.
Today we have the lovely Michelle Monaghan in the fitting room.

https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Katerina_Hartlova
It’s difficult to be sure, as I’m not getting a decent sense of build/height etc from the video. But I think 34G is a tad off. She looks reasonably slim, and her bio says she’s 5’6”. I’m 5’5” and roughly the same shape as her, and I’m a 32FF, so I think she’s probably a 32FF or a 32G. It could be that she’s grown slightly since the video, so 32GG wouldn’t be unusual.
She’s probably a 34H/HH - there is no I.It just goes to show how inaccurate Boobpedia is when they keep quoting 'I' when there isn't an 'I'.
I noticed she seems to get bigger as her career goes on.Yeah its like a moving target to estimate a woman's chest size.
And there’s a photo of her with a young Leanne Crow, where Leanne looks more like a 32GG/H - compared to what she probably is now (somewhere up in the 34KK/L category).I've updated my list as I hadn't put Leanne on.

Thank you so much, Margaret, especially since I couldn't just post an image and make it easy.
I've wondered about her size for so very long.
Can you remind me, though... US cup size or UK?
And, I don’t want anyone to think my assessments are the final word - they’re just my best guess based on what I can see and estimate.I've always thought of your assessments that way. This thread is a bit of fun, and to challenge your estimating prowess.
and she says she’s a 30H. I don’t disbelieve her, as she’s been fitted and buys/wears bras according to her fit - but when you see her, you’ll think she’s more like a 30F, or a 28FF.Just had a look, and I'd have guessed a smaller size than 30H for Josie.
I also do a lot of comparison; I have a stick of reference images from the web of women I know to be of a certain size - so it sometimes makes it easier to do a rough side-by-side and compare.I think this is why you assess models better than the rest of us - you have the experience.
Today's challenge - Maggie Green

Okay then - Daisy van Heyden
https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Daisy_van_Heyden - 34E?
Way too small and slim to be a 34 back. Almost definitely a 26FF 28F.I'm sure Boobpedia makes up some of these sizes.
Here is how the list is looking (56 entries) with a subset of the largest ladies sorted by cup size.
Thank you so much, Margaret, especially since I couldn't just post an image and make it easy.
I've wondered about her size for so very long.
Can you remind me, though... US cup size or UK?
Always UK. US cup sizes don’t make any sense.
And, I don’t want anyone to think my assessments are the final word - they’re just my best guess based on what I can see and estimate. I recently re-discovered a fuller bust blogger/bra enthusiast, her name js Josie Jones (you’ll find her on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the.jj.edit), and she says she’s a 30H. I don’t disbelieve her, as she’s been fitted and buys/wears bras according to her fit - but when you see her, you’ll think she’s more like a 30F, or a 28FF. But, 30H she is - so, it can sometimes be very difficult to get it right without seeing the person first-hand, trying out a few bras and getting the fit correct.
I also do a lot of comparison; I have a stick of reference images from the web of women I know to be of a certain size - so it sometimes makes it easier to do a rough side-by-side and compare.

I understand. I just wanted to make sure. Boobpedia goes by American I think, and going from an American G to a UK GG is a lot of breast growth. :)
Which is why I love love love that video so much... Natural Breast Expansion at it's best!
A bit of a random one today.
Alina (SiliconeFree) - https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Alina_(SiliconeFree) - there is no estimate on Boobpedia at all, so nothing to go with.
But there are a number of pics here: https://www.busty-legends.com/gals/alina-heavy-hangers.php
Margaret, on the thread PRO J E C T I O N, there was this little graph pertaining about how there are different classifications of projecting breasts. I wonder what our best expert about breasts thinks about it. :)

I’m not sure how scientific this is. Roots do play a part in protection (small, high-up roots with big boobs is going to give more), but there’s other factors. Height, weight (carrying weight around your middle can affect projection as it pushes your boobs up), set (west-east/east-west), and boobs shape. Plus, the bras you wear can enhance or minimise it. I know you boys like a bit of projection, but it can be easily faked with the right bra. Naked projection is some other thing. I always find it fascinating the women who make it as (naked) big boob models - they tend to be centre set, very little west-east or east-west and with “rounded” boobs that sit high on their torso (this is often the result of surgery, but not always), so they have really appealing, aesthetically nice-looking boobs. It’s rare to see a model with droopy boobs or pancake boobs, or boobs that go off in different direction.

Difficult to say, but it’s going to be big. 36 back maybe and something like H/HH. She’s very low set and flat, so those boobs will have to be squeezed into position with a lot of swoop and scoop.I often wonder about women with lower hanging boobs, it must be more of a challenge to get a bra to be comfortable. There has got to be more stress on bra.

I fitted a lady once as a 40G and her boobs and overall bodyshape and size were pretty similar.When you do a fitting, I guess (as you've proved here) you have a pretty good idea what size to start before you've done any measuring. I find women with clothes on can look a different size than with clothes off - sometimes bigger sometimes smaller. I guess even that you'd account for.

Are some physiques trickier than others - or are they all estimate, measure and try a size - or do you get some that just don't follow the normal rules of bra fitting?
I'd been trying to remember this girls name.
Ashley Ellison - https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Ashley_Ellison - 32K?
It is alleged that by October 2007, she had grown to a 32JJ bra. It was during 2008, however, that she decisively changed the nature of her body shape, gaining over 30lbs in additional weight and planting herself firmly in the "chubby" or "mid-sized" erotica market.
When she relaunched her career with the SCORE Group in early 2009, her bra size by then was 36J. Since then there has been a slight weight loss from her previous weight increase and, as of March 2013, her website is once again reporting her bust as being 32JJ/K.
intuition at work.Ah, that was the word I was looking for...
(from different manufacturers) to figure out how comfortable they are onA lot of clothes seem to be like that even us men. Even shoes can be a bit hit and miss. It must be even more so for a bra with its structural function.
I can glance at a woman in a restaurant and do a quick assessment that covers posture, how her boobs are set in her current braDo you ever get the urge to say something to a women clearly with the wrong bra on?
And, then we see her move into her late teens and into her early 20s, which is when the spread happens to most women (it happened to me around age 23-25, where I just gained so much weight on my thighs, arse and boobs). All sorts of reasons can be blamed (reduced activity, kids, the pill, pregnancy, eating more, general growth etc).Women's bodies are way more complex than men's - something I wish I knew when I was first dating. Menopause on its own is fascinating. I had no idea until recently.
(I don’t know if she models any more or not), then I reckon 34-36H/HHI don't know if she is still active or not. I think Faith Nelson still is but under another name that I can never remember, but she looks different. I will put Ashley sown as a 36J.
Today then.

Interesting to see Faith (the_plegan_pinup) now - I find it interesting how some of the models find themselves being drawn back into it after years away.I think the same - I assume good money for relatively little effort. I would never recommend a women go in to this line of work unless they really had no other choice. It always seems like a slippery slope to me. Unless you can make a good nest-egg and retire and never return. (Danni Ashe brings to mind here)
Not what you think of a stereotypical Swedish woman. Usually, you think of Swedish women as being blonde, very tall and slim.So true. Europe is such a melting pot of ethnicity.

If she’s really that short, then she is never a 34 back, and I’m assuming the O is an exaggeration or a Japanese measurement.
I suspect she’s in the 26-28 back category, as she’s so short, slim and with narrow shoulders. And her boobs are massive, with a low set. I’m thinking it’ll be something like 26J/JJ - but possibly 28K.

I can attest she really is that short. I'm only 5'5" tall, yet when I saw her at the AVN shows here in Las Vegas, I towered over her. Only while she was wearing platform shoes was she as tall as I, or even taller, but when she would wear sandals, she was way shorter, and she is very slim and petite overall except for those huge natural breasts. :o :)
I'm fairly sure we haven't done this lady yet.

Her thread is HERE (https://forum.bearchive.com/index.php?topic=9997466.0) for more pix
I think I assessed this lady before on her thread, but can’t be sure.Yes is retrospect I think you have.
Whatever it is, it’s bighaha yes... I have a 38JJ and that seems like a humongous cup - jeez, K or L.
I don’t think I’ve seen one photo of her with a properly-fitting bra on, which makes me think she squeezes into the biggest cup size she can find. There’s also a bit of emphasis and lens distortion going on. But she’s definitely big.Is that what larger ladies tend to do, go for the biggest cup size they can find and hope it fits.
Not related to Yevgeny Prigozhin but today we assess.
Sunny Wagner - https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Sunny_Wagner (https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Sunny_Wagner) - 38F?
Possibly a 34/36F of FF. A fairly normal and common size.After 66 entries our survey seems to support that.
Hier eine Dame aus Deutschland.
Emilia Boshe - https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Emilia_Boshe - 38HH?
Okay then, this one maybe tricky. She is on BP, so even though she isn't a model as such I think she can be included. And I need to some C cup women. (not personally haha)
Diane Kruger - https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Diane_Kruger - BP says C cup?
28F.Ah, bigger than I thought.
It sounds big, but it’s not. It’s all about proportion and cup size difference>back size.28F.Ah, bigger than I thought.
Next door country to Germany.
Duana - https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Duana - 32L. She is quite tall, so that maybe in the ballpark.
I don't think we've done Jana Defi yet, and that's a shame because she's absolutely gorgeous... I think the most beautiful overall body I've ever seen... and close to the most beautiful breasts.
Boobpedia says she is 5'8", 32G (I guess American G.)

Jana Defi is what I call a freak of nature of the best type. :)
PS Notice the west-east set of her boobs?Is that just caused by uneven growth of the breast tissue?

Katerina Konec -https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Katerina_Konec - 36E?
It always startled me a little when I read things like “blowjob, vaginal, anal, double penetration”. I’m not a prude by any means, but when I first discovered that kind of thing so widespread on the internet (pardon the pun), it just shocked me.I tend to agree. I think the whole porn thing has gone a bit too far to be honest. I feel sorry for the young, that's how they think sex should be. The point I made earlier in this thread that the adult industry is a slippery slope for performers, having to get more fetish to get the views.
So how about Alyssa Alps?
According to boobpedia she has a 42G-Cup
https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Alyssa_Alps
I think there is a missmatch, cause she has nearly the same body stats like Deena Duos (Deena: 5 ft 3 in/128lb ; Alyssa: 5 ft 4 in/128lb).
But Deena has definetly bigger implants with more projection and is listed to have 36Js.
So I think Alyssa is more likely a 36F/G-Cup and those 42" is her over the bust meassurement and not the bandsize.
Hope Margaret could help?

Boobpedia says she is 5'8", 32G (I guess American G.)
I was sure I had commented on this utterly gorgeous lady before. I checked her thread but can’t find it - so it’ll be interesting to see if I can get it close to what I said previously. Firstly, she is captivating - she has the most amazing figure (among the best I think I’ve ever seen) and she is so beautiful and expressive. I just love how her whole body just seems to behave for her. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a photo or a pose where she doesn’t look natural, confident and statuesque.
So, in terms of her bra size… she’s tall, slim and very full - but it’s all in proportion. I’m inclined to think she’s a 30 or 32 back, but I’m more inclined to think 32. I don’t think she’s a G (US or otherwise), as her boobs are too big and rounded to be a G. She’s more like a 32HH or possibly a 32J. A 30JJ might not be a million miles away either.
I’m officially adding her to my growing list of BEA lady crushes; Ewa Sonnet, Danni Ashe, Traci Topps, Tessa Fowler.

Thank you Margaret... I know what you mean, and if you've ever seen video, its how she moves, too. Every square inch of her... perfect. Every motion... perfect. Definitely crush material... Jana Defi, Tessa Fowler, and Yulia Nova for me.
How about Ashley Juggs? Boobpedia has her at 5'8 which I believe and 44E which cant be right. I bet 36 is closer and if I take eight inches from her back and add it to her boobs I get 36I (american) or 36 G (uk) so that is my guess.

but I suspect she’s more 32/34J or JJ.Okay thanks. I had to look up which is the larger of these (I knew they were close). It is quite subtle. 32JJ is 34J. It is quite a clever system in many ways, but I keep thinking there most be something better. No idea what to be honest.

You’d be surprised at how flat a 34C is.Even though I now know the formula for bra sizing, I am still surprised how my own preconception of sizes is still a bit off. I would have been convinced she was a 34C.

I saw a video today where a woman was taping her breasts for shaping - I never knew this was a thing. I never been with a woman who does this - albeit maybe for an evening dresses. Is this a common practice?
Margaret, I would love it if you went to the Louisa Khovanski thread and look at her latest photo and try to determine the size of her bra. It looks very undersized. ;D

Ms Khovanski is a stunningly beautiful lady, who is (probably intentionally) wearing the wrong bra size. I reckon she’s very short and very slim, which makes me think she’s a very slim back, and very full and centred, so almost definitely something like a 28HH, maybe a 28J.
If someone posts another photo of Louisa before Margaret reads this, she’ll have no idea what post you’re referring to, Sol.

Actually maybe 30F, she is only 5 foot.
30F seems big, possibly more like 28F, maybe 28E.Ah okay cheers.
I just thought I'd throw this one in there.

Gillian Duxbury - https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Gillian_Duxbury - 34C? As I tend to underestimate, I will go with 32DD. What do you think?
I don’t think she’s a 32 or a 34 back. She looks more like a 28 or 30. Possibly 28E or 30DD.Initially I was thinking 28 or 30, but then I doubted myself and went for 32.
I think BP are way out with this young lady. Maybe 28 something.

I can't believe Tracy Neve is 57!
https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Tracy_Neve - but is she a 36E?
36 back seems big, although, I don’t doubt she was maybe wearing a 36DD/E bra in the 90s (I know I did - just about everyone did).Were women wearing 36DD/E due to design of bras back then - or were women just getting it wrong? I assume bras haven't really evolved much since the 90's, are we just better at getting the sizing right these days.
She looks more like a 32-34E.Cheers.

It really started to kick in around the mid-2000s when companies realised they were not just getting sizing wrong, but we’re missing out in a really big market.So before 2000 was the process of measuring a woman as we understand it today different. Bra sizes are the same, I wonder how they got so wrong back then?
IIn the 90s, it was white, black or nude - or, something that took half an hour to put on and was really uncomfortableI remember pursuing my mums clothes catalog and seeing just that. I wasn't hugely inspiring
(Also, I have to confess, wearing sexy lingerie - even if it’s not comfortable, can be quite exciting).This is why I like lingerie so much - its an enhancement to a woman's beauty.

It is interesting about materials for bras these days - I wonder if this is where the next advancement will take place. I'd imagine a bra could be developed to have different properties at certain points. As I see it, bras are elasticated, but this elasticity doesn't vary much, but this isn't necessarily the best way to give support to a woman's breasts that are dynamic. Some boffin will come up with something sometime.IIn the 90s, it was white, black or nude - or, something that took half an hour to put on and was really uncomfortableI remember pursuing my mums clothes catalog and seeing just that.

The biggest issue pre-2000 (and it’s still an issue today) was/is the +4 (“plus four”) method of measuring. It's a historical hangover that was meant to be a temporary solution and ended up becoming the norm. Prior to the 1970s, bra sizing worked differently. The “number” was the your full bust measurement, and the “cup size” was an approximation of how busty a woman was. So a 36C bra was meant to fit someone who measured 36" across the fullest part of their bust, not the underbust, and a C cup was basically a “medium” - whatever that was supposed to mean. There was very little standardisation between brands, and sizing was all over the place. In the late 1970s, a consortium of lingerie makers decided on a new sizing system - which is quite close to the one we use today, where the cup size is the difference between the underbust measurement and the overbust measurement (more or less).
In order to ease the transition from the old system to the new, they told customers to add 4 inches (sometimes it was 5). That way, they'd stay in their old, familiar size, and gradually get used to the new system. So, someone who was a 30J in the new system could end up being a 36F with the plus 4 system.
Obviously that plan failed spectacularly, because we ended up stuck with a method that goes against how the system is supposed to work.
Now, we have a lot more standardisation of the underbust/overbust method - plus, fitting. I can’t stress enough how much fitting has made a difference. Measurements are only part of the process; getting fitted for a bra gives a much more accurate size. Imagine just buying shoes because you think you’re a size 9, and not trying them on to see how they fit. It’s the same with a bra.
In terms of materials - the best engineers and designers have worked bras for decades. The problem is, no two women are alike, so designing a one-fits-all solution doesn’t work. However, they’ve managed to get some things right: the back band does all the hard work, so start there and the rest tends to follow. In terms of materials, bras are made of two main components (there’s actually dozens more though): cotton and elastic (Lycra). The cotton is the fabric of the bra, which is lined with elastic to give movement in the materials - which allows for a certain size of back band to fit within a range (32” band should fit anyone within a 31-33 back reasonably comfortably) and then you also have the hooks/eyes to compensate for differences (and wear/tear and stretching of the material over time).

I read this and I adore women, the way they look, the softness of their skin, their melodic voices and many other fine attributes of them but I'm so happy I don't need to get fitted with a bra. ;) ;D
was/is the +4 (“plus four”) method of measuring. It's a historical hangover that was meant to be a temporary solution and ended up becoming the norm.I had no idea - that is an interesting anecdote. I'll ask women I know about this. I bet they have no clue.
a C cup was basically a “medium” - whatever that was supposed to mean.It had to have been a nightmare to get a good fit.

Imagine just buying shoes because you think you’re a size 9, and not trying them on to see how they fit. It’s the same with a bra.I agree - actually I am a size 9 - and to illustrate the point you a making, I bought some new trainers recently - tried them on in the store and 9 1/2 was a better fit. Now if I'd not tried them on and bought them online I'd have the wrong size.
In terms of materials - the best engineers and designers have worked bras for decades. The problem is, no two women are alike, so designing a one-fits-all solution doesn’t work.I guess that is the real issue - my idea is (not well researched I'd admit) using a material that forms a shape after some sort of process. Almost like a memory foam mattress.
cotton and elastic (Lycra). The cotton is the fabric of the bra, which is lined with elastic to give movement in the materialsMy bag of bras is next to me here in the attic - I will dig one out and have a better look at the construction.
then it can be awkward/embarrassing. But if the person knows what they’re doing, they can put you at ease and make it feel like a worthwhile experience.I was going to ask you about that - how does one go about getting a bra fit. All the women I know haven't been fitted I'm sure about that.
I wouldn’t wear a bra.Had a friend come over yesterday - she didn't wear a bra - my male neighbor wanted to chat - I think she felt a bit uncomfortable without one one - but it was a hot day.
just well-made - and the correct fit.My bra less friend above always buys expensive shoes for that reason.
But, as I’ve said before, it can be a relief to take off at the end of the day too.The number of time I've seen her come home from work and the first thing that comes off is the bra. The cool thing is doing without taking the blouse off. It's like a magic trick.

Too much personal data available.That is going to be the real challenge for any online sale - at some point you're going to have to exchange personal details.

For those playing along at home - here's the stats so far. (sorted by cup size)
was/is the +4 (“plus four”) method of measuring. It's a historical hangover that was meant to be a temporary solution and ended up becoming the norm.I had no idea - that is an interesting anecdote. I'll ask women I know about this. I bet they have no clue.a C cup was basically a “medium” - whatever that was supposed to mean.It had to have been a nightmare to get a good fit.I can’t stress enough how much fitting has made a difference. Measurements are only part of the process; getting fitted for a bra gives a much more accurate size. Imagine just buying shoes because you think you’re a size 9, and not trying them on to see how they fit. It’s the same with a bra.I agree - actually I am a size 9 - and to illustrate the point you a making, I bought some new trainers recently - tried them on in the store and 9 1/2 was a better fit. Now if I'd not tried them on and bought them online I'd have the wrong size.In terms of materials - the best engineers and designers have worked bras for decades. The problem is, no two women are alike, so designing a one-fits-all solution doesn’t work.I guess that is the real issue - my idea is (not well researched I'd admit) using a material that forms a shape after some sort of process. Almost like a memory foam mattress.
There are materials that exhibit somewhat similar properties. You can get heat shrink tubing for electronics. It s rubber tube once heated shrinks to shape. It's fascinating stuff. Imagine putting on a bra and having it precisely fit to your shape after processing - and for it to stay that shape and still have its elasticity.
But then I have never worn a bra - so ultimately I suspect a woman would come up with a solution.cotton and elastic (Lycra). The cotton is the fabric of the bra, which is lined with elastic to give movement in the materialsMy bag of bras is next to me here in the attic - I will dig one out and have a better look at the construction.
Lots of FF (close to my heart!)Literally and figuratively...
Keep them coming - lots of famous names I haven’t been challenged with yet (and one in particular I’m looking forward to studying!).You've just given me an idea...
You have a bag of bras? Lucky boy.All donated. Jeez I have even have a leather skirt and a maids outfit.
What bras do you have and what sizeI did post pics of most of them earlier on in the thread - I was going through them the other day and found a matching pair of briefs and bra. I've had them for years and never noticed before.
YI really should take the time to dismantle one of my bras (in the interests of science) and show all the components in one place. Like one of those device “teardowns” I’ve heard my husband mention. It would be fascinating to see what truly goes into a Panache Tango II.Yeah that would be great. There would be a lot of unpicking. My first job after school was working in a high end clothing manufacturer - my job was to cut materials from patterns to be machined. I have an appreciation of how complex clothing is to put together. But a bra is something else.

Penelope Cruz - https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Penelope_Cruz - BP says 34C - maybe at some point, but she is bigger than that now.
Attached is data in graph form.
For those playing along at home - here's the stats so far. (sorted by cup size)
This is amazing! So worthwhile. Of course, it’s just my opinion, but there’s a fantastic range of sizes here. Lots of FF (close to my heart!) and amazing to see so many J/JJ/K/KK - big boobs FTW!

Tessa and Wendy are the same cup size? I guess that's because Tessa is so much shorter, but wow, I would of thought Wendy's cup size would be much bigger.
But if you want more, how about Anri Okita? Boobpedia says 5'6" and a 34 band, which seems big.
But for cup size... I just don't know. In these pics she was absolutely huge.
Would you mind estimating some regular **28**? There are some that have no nude or topless pictures that I've always wondered at their real measurements....
Penelope: it’s probably going to be something like a 28D/E. Not big in the cups at all. Pert.Cheers - actually I was thinking of Salma Hayek, got them mixed up.

In terms of estimating regular women - I wouldn’t be comfortable if it was done without their consent. I know I’m estimating models on here without their consent - but they’re women who have out their photos into the public domain willingly and would especially the images to be pored over, so to speak. If wouldn’t be keen on estimating a random woman’s bra size from her social media photos, if she wasn’t someone who engaged in something like modelling or something similar. You could always send me a private message about it.

Nah, that's fine.
I respect your decision.
I can't remember if we've done Katy Perry?
https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Katy_Perry - 32E? Going on the pics that maybe a good estimation - although hasn't she had a bambino since, so she maybe larger now.
Here's a woman I haven't heard about for sometime: A beautiful woman.
Caroline Munro -https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Caroline_Munro - 38C < nope. My estimate is 30DD.
One of my favourite genres is the hot older woman.
So that said:
Penny Porsche - https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Penny_Porsche - she isn't a 38F I feel sure. My guess is 34G maybe H.
I’m not certain her boobs are big enough to be H. She looks *almost* the same size as me, and I’m 32FF, so I’m thinking maybe 34FF, but possibly 34G.I'll put her down as a 34G - I was tempted to say G, but then thought she may be bigger.
BTW - she’s absolutely gorgeous. I’d never ever compare myself to someone like her, but a good few years back (before my little ones came along), I wasn’t a million miles away from her bodyshape and look. Not any more though.She is one of my favs.
Still got the boobs, but as time goes on, the rest starts to abandon you.I was having this discussion yesterday - slowing down the ageing process is probably the best we (any of us) can do. I see a lot of older ladies with fantastic boobs, I wonder why breast tissue acts different than other parts of a woman's body.

I must admit I have been curious - is there is a model you've seen who you thought have/had a similar shape to your own. I have a female friend that tells me often about how the woman in the picture has the same body she used to have. Honestly I'm never quite sure how to answer that.Still got the boobs, but as time goes on, the rest starts to abandon you.I was having this discussion yesterday - slowing down the ageing process is probably the best we (any of us) can do.

Just wondering how you feel about this method of bra fitting. ;) ;D An old cartoon from Bill Ward (1919-1998) and this was done back in the early 60's and you can tell his generation was politically incorrect. ;D He served in the US Army in World War 2. :)

😂😂😂 very amusing. I’ve seen a lot of old-fashioned UK seaside postcards like this.
The closest I’ve seen to my own height/shape and boobs is Danni Ashe (I’m talking when I was much younger here - like, 25).She was the most viewed woman in the 90's - (in theory) you could have gained the same adulation if the situation had been different. I'd feel quite chuffed by that thought if it was me - even if it was never going to happen.
Add: I should say, I don’t want anyone to think I’m comparing myself to Danni or that I look like her. But we definitely have/had almost identical bodyshape and boobs.You're probably being too modest - but I understand your point.
Okay then. This woman has some Danni Ashe-esque boobs.

I'm glad you like it. Too many people nowadays are so pathetically thin skinned that you have to walk on eggshells to deal with them. I know you are, what in the old days was called, a good broad. :)

Thank you. I’m still a feminist and 100% behind being respectful towards women. I have found this forum fascinating - and, if I’m honest, if any of my friends of family knew I was engaging with it, they’d be shocked. But I think I’ve always been appropriate and kind, when I can be.
Back to actresses - here's Jeri Ryan. (I can't believe she is 55)
https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Jeri_Ryan - 36D?
When she was in Star Trek, I understand they used a lot of scaffolding for her costume.I do remember reading about that. Gotta be a pain to go to the loo.

I first saw her in the sci-fi show Dark Skies before Star Trek.
The thing to remember with most models/actresses (and women in general) is that the perceived size of their boobs will be influenced by how they dress; what type of bra they wearIts fascinating how you ladies can do that.
Most women’s boobs kind of sag (the bigger they are, the more they’ll sag), so it’s really only women with small backs and big, rounded boobs who look really huge.Smaller ladies, (shorter) seem to have big boobs, and proportionally they are, but outright they aren't. The wiki chart giving the volume of breasts per bra size is helpful to illustrate that. My personally preference isn't overall size, but that proportional difference that makes them look big, even if they aren't.
and, using wide angle lenses to give a distorted appearance.You get that sense when you see a model from a different angle. I wish they'd not do the wide angle lens thing, but I understand why they do.
Most women’s boobs are just normal - and are discreetly hidden away with a properly-fitting bra and appropriate clothing.It never stops amazing me how different they (boobs) look out of a bra.
if you saw me naked - your jaw would drop (along with my boobs).I have imagination - yeah you're right. wow! Danni Ashe enters my mind.
Okay random post here.
But this woman is 6ft, so I thought that would be interesting.
Melissa Moore- https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Melissa_Moore - 36D seems plausible going on the two pics.
Also, she seems to have gotten slightly bigger as she got older.It looks like she may have gained weight in the 1990 pic.

For the hundredth entry in my list I thought we'd return to Jennifer Love Hewitt (I think we've done her before).
https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Jennifer_Love_Hewitt - BP hasn't got an estimate. She is short, so my estimate is 30DD. But I could be a tad out.
Yeah - she looks 28/30 back and possibly anywhere from DD-F. Again, push/up dresses and bras make her look most busty, but she’s slim and not broad-backed.

WaltYasmin Disney. https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Yasmin_Disney - 36K plausible?
I’d say more like 34-36J.The band size always trips me up. I need to do more (hands on) research.

not everyone is an even numberIndeed, and I can account for that from my own experience. I used to be a 33" waist - I was too big for 32" jeans and too small for 34" jeans. No choice but to wear a belt and size 34.
When I visually estimate a back size, I often go slightly lowerThat makes sense - and from my experience in some technical endeavours that would be the way I'd go about it too.
It takes years of practice and experience.Yeah I bet it does. You can't buy experience.
I have fitted women and men).Now I'm curious - are we talking overweight men - or cross-dressers? And, how does one refer a man for a bra fitting?

It was mostly when I worked in high street department stores for a whileI just had a pic of the sit-com Are you being Served pop in to my head. Are you free!
you would just get a man asking about bras and sizes etc, and you could tell it wasn’t a gift they were buying advice.I had no idea - I have never bought a bra for a woman, and now I think about it, not sure how I would go about it.
it was just creepy perverts. I have to say, it wasn’t a regular occurrence. But I just treated them the way I’d expect to be treated myself.I only look at bras when I am with a woman, other than that I pretty much avert my eyes so scared of looking like a prev.
One man came in fairly regularly over about a period of time. He was about 30 when I first spoke to him. Cross-dresser, wife didn’t know etc - and tended to prefer bigger bras (brought his falsies with him one time and I fitted him for a 36E bra set).I bet that is common - wife doesn't know about his fetish. I tell women I like bras, which is how I've ended up owning so many. I think if I was younger I'd be tempted to crossdress, but not now. Although I did try on a French-maids outfit once, fitted good, felt great.
Okay another young lady from my Southampton.
Rose Coffen - https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Rose_Coffen 34D?
Back with a new one.
Kerry Katona - https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Kerry_Katona - H?
On August 25, 2008, Katona checked into a private clinic in north-west London for several cosmetic surgery procedures including liposuction, laser treatment on her stretch marks, and a breast reduction to decrease the size of her 34GG chest. Reported to cost £15,000, the procedures will be filmed and footage will be featured on Katona's forthcoming MTV reality show Whole Again. She was quoted by the Daily Mail as saying, "After four kids I need it. I’m a GG at the moment, and when I take my bra off my nipples are by my feet. I want to be a DD instead.
Hmm. Her weight fluctuated a lot, but I’d expect her to have been in 32-34 back territory and around FF/G cup.I thought she'd be a tricky one due to her weight changes and cosmetic procedures. I will put her down as a 34G.

Jill Cannon - https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Jill_Cannon (https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Jill_Cannon) - 34E seems on target.
34E seems broad for someone so slim and short. I’d be thinking more 28-30E. Maybe 28F.Cheers.

it would be interesting to know where BP get there sizing info from, as your estimates differ so often - I trust you, not them.
You’d be surprised at how easily impressed people are by bra sizes. My husband’s friends think 34DD is bigger than 32FF. I think it’s the alliteration of “double dee”.This is so how I thought about bra sizes - I think it would have been 40DD or maybe 44DD that I thought was huge. Definitely DD as you say. I guess this stereotype still persists for some people (mainly men I guess). This is why I like to learn about these things.

Come to think about it - I'm sure I had a adult VHS (yes a tape) with DD in the title.
Did you say there was a redoing of bra sizing some time ago - maybe this is why DD still exits as a metaphor.

It wasn’t so much a re-do, more that they abandoned the plus four measuring method, and added cups beyond DD.

I remember back in the 70's and 80's how so many feature dancers would put their measurements as 80DDD or some such number because they knew guys didn't understand how bras and their measurements actually work. ;D
I've been meaning to post this one for a while. I really like this picture. Not sure her bra is quite right for some reason. But other than that, lovely lingerie.
Ps sorry Zook it is a WeBP, I am not on a desktop I have no way to convert.
Gorgeous lingerie. I’m a sucker for a set like thisMe too - personally I'd rather see a woman dressed like this than naked, odd as that may sound.
Not sure the bra is the right fit or style for her.It doesn't look right - would some adjustment help, or does she need a different size completely.
Suspenders and stockings are ultra-sexy, but just not terribly practical. But I love the complexity of the set. It’s lovely.I don't know the origin or the suspender, but I guess they were invented in a time before elastic strips that would hold up a stocking. It is interesting that the style has stayed around, albeit for form and not function.

They’re still popular though - some women prefer them.Is that for normal-wear or for formal/dress clothes?
For me, I have really long thigh bones, so they struggle to stay up.Do they not come in longer sizes for longer legs?

Now this is the sort of Karen I like.
Karen Price - https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Karen_Price (https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Karen_Price) - but is she 38F?
If she’s 5’5” then there’s no chance she’s a 38F. She looks more like a 32F.I didn't think she was 38F - incidentally, when the model is laying on her back, I assume that makes estimating a little tricky?

She is a busty woman - but how busty?
Difficult to say (and the photo looks odd). There’s a bit of push-up going on too. Possibly 32G?Yeah I agree - the pic isn't quite right, almost like it is a morph. Although a good one. It is getting harder by the day to spot the fakes.
34A
Okay another B&W image.
Cheers - I did this one quick; as just as I was posting this morning I had a unexpected visitor. I didn't look at the image too closely beforehand - I may have chosen something better if I'd have had more time.Okay another B&W image.
The angle isn’t great to get a rough back size. But it’s possible something like 30F.
Trying to find a good image for an estimation. Ones with a mirror seem to be better, maybe?
Okay what about this lady...
Oh wait!
Okay what about this lady...
Oh wait!
Go for a 38D, maybe a 40DHe/she is quite busty!
That's disgusting. :P :( :o ;) ;DI had to delete the picture from my local drive. Too distressing!

I'm curious about Sarah Lang, I wonder what size she is?
https://forum.bearchive.com/index.php?topic=490504.msg10612405;topicseen#new
A big lass. Having looked through the thread, this seems like implants?That is interesting you've said that, I'd always assumed she was natural. But to be honest now I'm not so sure.
I’d be expecting her to be in the 34-38 back category and something like HH, maybe J. So something like 34J.Ah okay - a bit bigger than I thought.

My reading of her thread was she won money on a quiz show and got a boob enhancement shortly after, and formed a band?I remember her being on a quiz show, but didn't know about the enhancement.

I just did a search of 'Sarah Lang quiz show', if this is the same person I think she was fairly well built before she had an enhancement. Maybe it was a lift and not so much volume. I will have to see if I can find some video.
Okay then - today's lady. She say's 38JJ which seems legit.
If memory serves she lives in Ireland.
https://www.reddit.com/user/bigpaireire
38JJ seems about right. Possibly even 38K.Cheers - I have a size 38JJ in my bra collection and I thought she looked about that size. The cups are huge on that bra, interesting to compare between C, D, GG to the JJ sizes when have them together. Quite a difference in volume.
Any idea what brand of bra this is - love the colour.
Could be a brand like H+M, but plunge bras like this are ten a penny. They come and go.Ah okay thanks. How do you identify a plunge bar? I assume it is the way the centre is cut low to emphasize the cleavage?

(which is what you get on a “push-up” bra - which is designed to make small boobs look bigger).So that is a distinction I was unaware of, pushup bra vs plunge bra. I have heard of both but never really knew the difference. Neither sound like something you'd be wanting to wear all day, so I guess these are for special occasions.

I assume measuring for these would be a similar process to a normal bra? Although these kinda alter your shape, so maybe not.
Here's a young lady I've been meaning to ask you about.
Bianca Censori?
Got to give this woman credit for this outfit. They'll (young ladies) all be dressing like this soon!
Possibly something like a 32 or 34F. Hard to tell, as there’s no good shots of her in a bra that I can work with.Okay thanks. I was looking at the Daily Mail this morning and she is wearing, what I guess is a boobtube?

One of the comments on the article "She needs a good support bra or she’ll be tripping over those. Just looks absurd." Yep.

Who is she btw?
here's another one to help solve the mystery
PS she’s really beautiful. Who is she?
I wonder if you could cast your eye over this young lady for me?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQdxxxNabGc (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQdxxxNabGc)
PS she’s really beautiful. Who is she?
from a 32FF/G, possibly even GG.My first thought was 32G. It is a size I am used to haha, maybe that is why I got this one.
PS this is almost exactly what my boobs look like in a t-shirt with no bra onGoodness gravy Margaret - you have a great figure.
(I’m now 30GG in *some* bras).Perfect size in my opinion.

The guy that told me about her told me where he saw her. She's Kate (https://www.charmdate.com/Profile-Meet-Women-From-Eastern-european-C772576.html) a Russian mail order bride. He said he messaged her yesterday. I told him that if he tells her that he wants to marry her I'll send her a message saying what a bastard he is.
Naturally I looked at the site. There's also Toma (https://www.charmdate.com/Profile-Dating-European-Women-C428267.html), Lucy (https://www.charmdate.com/Profile-European-Women-Personals-C133321.html), and Viktoria (https://www.charmdate.com/Profile-Pretty-Eastern-european-Ladies-C739624.html).
I never fail to be amazed by the revelations they the BEA throws up. I thought mail-order brides were a myth. Is that website for real?
This young lady popped up on my YT feed and I got curious.
https://www.youtube.com/@rachelmichellepizzolato/shorts
Posting this as the lady was nice enough to give us a datum.
It doesn’t really tell me much. I’d need her underbust and overbust measurements - or a really good pic of her (naked or in a bra/bikini is ideal), unless there’s other measuring photos?I thought it would be tricky, but there isn't many pictures of women measuring so I thought I'd post. She has quite a wide bust. In a way you'd think a width measurement like that could be useful for some women, especially the larger ladies that need custom sizes.

So I didn't know I could do this but here's some thumbnails.
Looks to be something like a 32-34FF or G. If I had to call it, I’d say 32G.Brill thanks. Honestly if I were a woman I'd probably opt for that sorta size. I used to think G was huge, but now I think it'll be about right. Albeit, I have never had any boobs and are unlikely too.

I’d say anywhere around 30-34 back and E-G cup is manageable. I’ve always felt I’d prefer my boobs to be a little bit smaller though (I’m 30GG now).I have a good friend who is quite busty - we were talking about plastic surgery (whimsically) and I asked what size she'd go for if she could. I said what about C - but she went for D - bigger than I thought. Current she is G I think. I think she was more concerned with a lift than a reduction.
I think I’ve said before that people with small boobs, or none (or men) don’t really get how much of a hassle very big boobs are. I can’t begin to imagine what’s like for women in the KK+ range; almost all of everyday life must present as a challenge.Yep, I've always liked big boobs, but never really had any empathy on how if felt to have them. I think I have a better understand of how it does feel - and ah yeah, women with K's, gotta be quite a trial to lug them about.
But yeah, G is alright.I guess it also depends on how that size fits your body. I saw a really short woman today incidentally, she was quite busty and she didn't quite look right somehow.
While looking around the mail-order bride site I stumbled across Ollia (https://www.charmdate.com/Profile-Beautiful-Eastern-european-Women-C149910.html) from the Czech Republic. I have the feeling she might be related to Milena Velba.Isn't that a morph of Olyria Roy - she is from Russia.

I find this picture in intriguing.
What do you find intriguing about it?Good question - I think it is overall shape this lady has. And how thick that band is for someone so slim. It just caught my eye and I kept on looking at it.
I find this picture in intriguing.
As seen on the Daily Mails website.
"Ellie Sweet, who hails from Maidstone, Kent, who wears a size 14 and has 38F breasts".
Is she really a 38F?
It’s entirely possible she is a 38F. Possibly more like 38FF - but it’s up there.Okay cheers. I thought she may be.

So my next pic is a leaning forward one - did you say once that these are better for guessing a woman's size.
If I didn’t know better, I’d think they was a sneaky photo someone snapped of me without me knowing!So many questions! haha
something like 30F or 32E. Very difficult to say.Thanks for the estimate - so a slight lean forward rather than bent over is better for measuring?

So today I will post a lady who has a badly fitted bra.
My question: Is that just a badly adjusted bra - or does she have the wrong size?
the shoulder straps seem to be doing a lot of work, which is never a good thing. The back band does the heavy lifting.One (great) thing I have learnt from you is about how the band takes all or most of the weight - I often wonder actually how many women don't know this themselves.
I suspect this is also not the right style of bra for her.What sort of style would be better do you think?
I could sort this in a few minutes - but I suspect it’s deliberate on the woman’s part in order to emphasise her boobs.Yes I think so too - probably an old too small bra.
It must be very uncomfortable.Gotta be - I've never worn a bra, but l can feel how uncomfortable that is going to be it looking at that pic.
Okay then - how do busty ladies sleeep*?
*A banned word FFS

Exactly like that. Well, certainly I do. I’m right-handed, so I sleeep on my left and I generally don’t move out of that position all night.I'm the same - but what about when you have a disturbed night (like we all have from time to time) do you not find having big boobs a little of a hindrance when you want to want change sides? Having said that, I have sle*pt with many a busty lady and they don't seem to. Haha. it is great when you wake to have a boob in your face when she has turned your direction!
However, I know many big-boobed women who have no difficulty at all sleeeping face-down.I have no boobs and I can't really do that, not without killing my neck by morning.
I think sleeeping is something you do instinctively, and it’s a habit formed since you were a baby, so developing big boobs probably doesn’t change it much. My arms sort of cross over my boobs and cradle them, so they act as cushions.What would worry me, or what I think would worry me about having a big chest in bed is hurting myself with my own weight. I'm sure we've all had that feeling of waking and thinking oh no, where is my arm - only to find out you've been sleeeping on it and it has gone numb.
Exactly like that.For a supplemental - PJs or nude?
Exactly like that.For a supplemental - PJs or nude?
Nude for me as I prefer being free in bed. Even when it is cold I like to have nothing on between the sheets.
It’s never really been an issue for me. I sometimes get too warm at night, but apart from that it doesn’t bother me. Having big boobs in general is a hassle almost every day, with even then most mundane of activities - but sleeeping has never been one, unless my boobs are tender or sensitive.Exactly like that.

Is that not a issue for a busty lady?
Having big boobs in general is a hassle almost every day, with even then most mundane of activitiesSo what is the one everyday task that is the most tricky having a large chest? I'd imagine there are a few, but is there one that is the real awkward one.

Getting dressed and finding an outfit where you don’t look like you’ve draped a trash bin over the top half of your body?When I walk round a department store, all the mannequins are stick thin with no bust. Clothes don't seem to be made for busty women - sadly.
Getting comfortable in a chair and working at a computer can be uncomfortable if it goes on too long.That is an interesting observation - I can see how using a computer could be a issue. As I sit here at my desk, I look down and see the position of my body and hands and I can see how boobs would get in the way.
Running.When I run (not often) I can feel my chest pectoral muscles bouncing up and down as I run, and it can be uncomfortable - jeez with a big bust it must be doubly awkward. Which is why I prefer to cycle, much easier on the body.
But in general, most tasks involving an element of manual dexterity (cooking etc) can sometimes produce annoying moments.I think I take these sort of tasks for granted not having much extra mass on my body.
I’m possibly exaggerating ever so slightlyI'm not sure you are.
The biggest challenge of all, however, is the male gaze - and, judgemental stares from other women. You never, ever get used to a guy staring at your boobs or constantly glancing downwards during a conversation. That is perhaps only trumped by inappropriate comments about them.Yep, I have seen the gaze when I have been with busty women, and although slightly humorous to me, of course I don't have to fend this off all the time.
I just saw this posted in the Toppsy Curvey thread.
Does 56" look legit?
It doesn’t, I’m afraid. If I did some basic calculations, in order to have a 56” overbust, she would have to be something like a 38” underbust and a 56” overbust.Thanks for the analysis.

So if she is say a J cup, that'll be an over-bust 12 inches more that her band, thus if she is 32 her over-bust would be 46?
And to be 56 inches she'd have to be an M cup.
Yes. And, she’s not an M cup.Would this lady be more likely to be an M cup?
Yes. And, she’s not an M cup.Would this lady be more likely to be an M cup?
She also looks to have what almost all of us women have; one boob bigger than the other.Oh yeah hadn't seen that.
As I'm a curious person.
From the busty granny with small waist thread.
As long as this picture is unaltered, I guess she has had a boob job.
Not necessarily - it’s maybe just a good bra.Yeah could be - she seems to have a quite slim physique, this made me think implants.

You do realise this is Mary Berry from the Great British Bake-off? Or at least it looks like her to me.You know what, I thought she looked familiar.

38K?
36/36, yes. Not entirely sure about K - but it’ll be something like GG-H.Ah okay, I find it hard to estimate the ladies with the larger band. Any idea of the bra brand?

What do you think about this bra fit from our favourite north eastern lass Leanne Crow.
I notice a slight gap on the front under-band - is that just the way she is standing, or is the fit slightly off? Of course she could be tightening to make them look bigger.
Hello Margaret! Taking this back to the 1970's heyday, I don't know if you measured the great Sylvia McFarland. I did a search but could not find her in the women you measured.
https://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Sylvia_McFarland
It’s *almost* a good fit (the bra is a Curvy Kate Princess, one of my absolute favourite bras of all time.It does look like a nice garment. I always love the feel of the material they are made out of.
but this bra only goes up to a KK cup, hence the centre gore not quite sitting flush 1 and her boobs are very slightly bulging over the tops of the cups.So, is the one she has on slightly undersize do you think?
Her pose is probably contributing to this, but I can tell by the band around the side they it’s riding up ever so slightly (isn’t the back band a whoppingly huge size?? - the back bands really are mega-big on these bras, as they have so much of the heavy lifting to do).Yeah the back is big, but so is the front! Actually looking at the back, I'm surprised the band narrows at the clasps, you'd have thought that would be wider with more hooks.
What I can say is that Leanne favours Curvy Kate bras - I see her modelling in them all the time - and I know why; they are quality bras, designed with really big boobs in mind, plus - they're comfortable, colourful and really sexy.I think I will have find some more pics of her in bras, just to see how she wears them. I guess this has changed over time. There are some early pics of her in a bra, I will have a peruse.
and the back band is sitting pretty horizontal - which is almost perfect. So, it must be the pose causing the slight riding up in the first pic. So, with that knowledge, I reckon my assessment is right - she’s something like a 34L, but can only get a 34KK.It must be a game changer to get a bra to fit well if you are 34KK.
I might be wrong, but I think the Princess at KK has four rows of hooks and eyes - but you’re right - you would expect it to be wider - but one of the great features of that particular bra is the side panelling - it really does do a lot of lifting and supporting. It’s an amazing bra. I have about half a dozen of them in different colours. Hopefully, Santa will bring me some more now that my size has changed a bit.It’s *almost* a good fit (the bra is a Curvy Kate Princess, one of my absolute favourite bras of all time.It does look like a nice garment.

Edit: I've just had a look at Leanne's website, in the about me it states "Measurements:32JJ-30-38", it probably needs updating, but that is where she was at one time.
Something I was looking at today. This is a screen capture of video.
I really like this outfit, but not sure what it is.
That’s called a Longline BraAh yes, I remember now.
look them up, they’re really amazing.I will, I think they look nice.
I have a few, but haven’t worn them in a while. If you find the right one in your size, they can be super-comfy.Comfy and and sexy - a win win.

I do indeed have a pretty massive collection. Four full drawers worth of bras, briefs, basques, strapless bras, corsets, things with clasps and chains, suspender belts and stockings. All in a variety of styles, colours and sizes (a lot of it is outside of my current size now). Some of it I haven’t looked at for years. Some of it is treasured, some of it worn beyond reasonable use - and some of it so impractical that it was perhaps worn once for fun and never again (that tends to be the stuff my husband has purchased for me). It mostly consists of bras - a lot of which were given to me to do reviews, or to test, but I have my go-to favourites that will always do the job required.
I think I perhaps have 60-100 bras, and I also have a bunch that I really need to give away or sell, as they’ll probably never ever fit me again.
I think I perhaps have 60-100 bras, and I also have a bunch that I really need to give away or sell, as they’ll probably never ever fit me again.Goodness that is a lot. It puts my own small collection to shame. Are there any rare ones in there, ones that may be worth more? Any real favs that you'd never part with even if you'd never wear? I guess if you added up how much you've spent over the years it would come to a fair bit.
Have you thought of perhaps opening a Bra Museum and then charge people to see them? ??? ::) :)That did cross my mind, but a collectors type webpage may be better. I'm going to have to look now, is there one.

I wonder what you could do with them all - almost enough to open shop.
All the women I've ever known, family and non family always seem to have lots of clothes. It is fascinating. I have a friend that has lots of clothes, most of it will never fit her, ever! Like some small blouses that are like a size 9 or something. And shoes - OMG!
I only have one piece of clothing I'll never wear again, which is a fur lined Levis denim jacket I bought on my first trip to the US. Oh, and a pair of Levis jeans in a odd, 33" waist that I've kept.
I found this pic online today - not the most practical piece of clothing. but interesting.

I do tend to have go-to bras that I use every day, mainly for comfort and reliability reasons (Panache, CK, Freya, Fantasie).When you find a bra that is just right, do you tend to buy another? I do this, if I find something comfortable, I'll buy two.
It’s mostly a pile of bras that no longer fit me. I really should sell them or give them away.I was just thinking, if I am ever in a charity shop (I like to look at the books) I never see bras. Lots of women's clothing, but never bras. I wonder why.
There’s a few that are “emergency” bras, or bras for special occasions (eg. Strapless).I can understand special accasions - not sure I understand how an emergency bra works (I guess you mean one that is a standby bra)
But bras are hugely expensiveYes they are - surprisingly so. However they are quite intricate garments. lots of fiddly stitching.
And, I get bras and other underwear gifted from my partner from time to time.I've wanted to buy bras for women - but then you (me) get in to all the sizing issues (which is why taking to you is so interesting). Not only sizing but fit and style, it is all above my pay grade, so I end up with something else as a gift.
That’s an interesting subreddit. Not quite what I was expecting when I clicked on it.No me either, I thought like you.

I'm not sure what it is like for womens underwear, but I buy something and go back a year later to replace it, only to find the manufacturer has changed it.

Bras wear out eventually - so if you have some good ones; there may be women out there that would really appreciate them. Especially how expensive they are, and how tight money is these days.

A classic exa one of this is the Panache Tango II bra - it’s been around a long time, and very little changes about its design - because it’s a perfect, classic bra that just works.I've just looked that one up - I have a Panache in my collection, it has the very same embroidered leaf pattern.
So they tend to be around if you need them.I once spent a some time trying to fit a detached wire in a friends bra that had come out. I think she liked this bra so much she wore it out. I never did get that wire back in.
In terms of emergency bras - I mean things like a strapless that works or a bra that will go with any outfit (usually black, nude or white).That is nude the skin colour?

Are strapless uncomfortable after a while, I assume you have to pop to the ladies now and then to rejig yourself?
Okay, (attached) here's a lady I'm curious about - you'll know who it is. I think she looks great.
she’s probably a 30D, possibly a 30E.Cheers.
(I think it’s an Ultimo - I’ve never worn one and never would).Ah that was the brand, I couldn't remember what her company was called. Would you not wear one because they aren't good bras, or because of Ultimo the brand?
I’m not keen on her as a person, a personality, a business woman - or, indeed, a so-called politician.I agree - but apparently the net is tightening on the PPE money.

How to make a blouse look good if you have big boobs.
I think Abbi does well here, but see how the base of the blouse sticks out from her waist. Is there anything a busty woman can do to minimize this?
Any clothing with big boobs is a challenge - blouses tend to either over-emphasise them, or, make you look fat. Finding flattering clothes is generally quite frustrating.Have you found a solution?

I have a recollection about a garment that flattened a woman's boobs, which sounds awful.
Ah this is it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breast_binding
This is a rabbit hole I didn't expect to go down, just found Minimiser Bras - https://www.marksandspencer.com/l/lingerie/bras/fs5/minimiser-1
Is a Minimiser Bra something that would work for someone bigger than a D?
I think the solution is always just to keep looking - and wear what makes you feel comfortable and happy.I agree, and I think this gets easier as we get older. I was in the supermarket recently, it is cold so I had a hat on. I took my hat off as I went in the shop. The thing is, when I saw myself in the window when I left - my hair had been sticking up all the time. I just chuckled to myself. I don't care think these days.
I’ve also bought outfits, dresses etc and come home and tried them on, but ended up sobbing at the sight of myself in the mirror. And then there’s times I get it right (not often!) and it feels amazing. The right dress/outfit/shoes/boots/hair/whatever has a transformational effect. You feel happy, comfortable and sexy.Something that I am envious, but also not envious of women and their clothes. I have never felt the highs and lows of my outfit. Mine have always been, well, meh. It would be great to have an outfit and feel I look good. I only feel like that if I wear a suit and tie, but there isn't much variety in it.
Now, minimiser bras - I’ve sort-of tried them. Not extreme ones (like binding), but just ones that flatten you down slightly (this was a long time ago), and they’re not great. I understand why some women would want to reduce the appearance of big boobs,Binding sounds medieval. I assume minimiser bras don't have that great of an effect, and only for smaller ladies.
I kind of just dress in a way that doesn’t draw attention to my boobs. I’m not a prude, but I don’t like unwanted attention. Or stares (from anyone).I have seen this stare myself, jeez probably done it too. I wouldn't want it either.
It’s a rare occasion when I show too much cleavageI was going to ask you about cleavage. Its a tricky one. I feel it okay in a cocktail dress, but not at the supermarket.
I have friends who are happy for their boobs to be a big feature of their image - many women do.I do know of women like that. I also know women who have never used there boobs like that. I don't think a woman should define herself for just her chest.
it’s not flattering to dress like a young personI do see that a lot where I live. It isn't just the clothes, the hair and the tan - it isn't a good look for a middle aged woman.
I wore short skirts/dresses and low cut tops. Nowadays, if I tried that, I’d look like something from a bad comedy sketch - so I dress to the occasion and to make myself happy and comfortable.When you did dress in skirts/dresses and low cut tops (and I'm not sure how to phrase this) what were your thoughts when deciding what to wear?
I had a crush on Gabrielle Drake when I was young, never knew she did nudes.
But what was her bust size?
When deciding, I usually just wore what I liked to wear. I wasn’t a fan of miniskirts or minidresses, as such, but if o wanted to wear one, I did. I always really liked short flairy skirts, and I was a massive fan of tea dresses (short, low cut ones). But I also liked a skirt suit (I had a herringbone one that I really loved). When I worked in an office in one of my early jobs as a teenager, I used to wear a short black pleated skirt, a blouse, opaque black tights with an really high denier - and black patent high heels. I always enjoyed wearing stuff like that - but, then again, I was younger, much slimmer (and while I had big boobs, they weren’t 30GGs).I think the solution is always just to keep looking - and wear what makes you feel comfortable and happy.I agree, and I think this gets easier as we get older.

The fashion for really tight yoga pants that women all seem to be wearing. They really are very revealing, I honestly don't want to see this while I am picking some parsnips. I'm not sure of this is confidence or ignorance on some women.It’s a rare occasion when I show too much cleavageI was going to ask you about cleavage. Its a tricky one.

I wasn’t a fan of miniskirts or minidresses, as such, but if o wanted to wear one, I did.I've never really liked the look to be honest. Too revealing, but on a really hot day, yeah I can see the appeal.
I was a massive fan of tea dresses (short, low cut ones).I will have to look that one up. (I just did, they look nice, stylish but comfortable).
But I also liked a skirt suit (I had a herringbone one that I really loved).Yep love that look.
I used to wear a short black pleated skirt, a blouse, opaque black tights with an really high denier - and black patent high heels.A classic style that I do like - I find women wearing that outfit slightly intimidating, but it looks great.
I love this combi. Almost like wedding lingerie if that is a thing.
I was a in a charity shop Saturday, they had a vintage wedding dress that was interesting, only £45. I don't think it would fit me! haha
It’s been a long time since I wore a white bra and suspenders set.I feel that they only look really nice on someone with a darker skin tone, like a tan. But that is just a preference on my part.
it’s very difficult to describe the feeling, experience and emotion. I still have mine.Which is why I'd like to try one!

It’s a beautiful set - especially the bra. I’m not big on thongs though.
I can still remember trying out my wedding dress for the fitting - and, getting everything in place on the day; my hair, my lingerie (corset-style basque with suspenders), my makeup, the shoes and dress, my little borrowed blue garter. I don’t think I’ve ever felt so special or beautiful. Of course, after a few hours I was dying to get out of it! Long time ago now, but it was magical at the time. The only real way to describe it is truly like feeling like a princess for the day.

I wonder if you've ever tried leather or more fetish styles of lingerie. I can't really say it is my thing, but I do find it interesting.
I was looking at something the other day, and I can't for the life of me remember what it was. I guess it was like spandex type lingerie, something like that. All fascinating stuff.
And I have an estimation for you - What is a turnaround? - YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gCk9yBBOUo)

That’s a tricky one, as I don’t really have any other context to go with - but it’s going to be something like a 32F, maybe a 30G.
In terms of lingerie I’ve tried over the many years, I’ve never really tried “fetish” stuff - as such - but I’ve had a lot of varieties of every kind of lingerie; corset-style basques, normal basques, suspender sets - I have had leather-style bras and suspender sets (one was a sort of fake snakeskin material, it was really thin straps etc and didn’t do much for me). I’ve had all manner of colours, all manner of straps, buckles, clasps and clips. I’ve had baby dolls, knickers with built-in suspenders, corslettes, vintage lingerie, longline bras, bodyshapers, crotchless knickers, things that resemble dental floss and bras that wouldn’t withstand a light breeze. You won’t be surprised that most of this was purchased by my partner - and is often worn for no longer than around 40 minutes.
But the lingerie I’m happiest in is a nice bra set (Curvy Kate FTW), or a really comfortable bodyshaper (and in my younger days, I loved a bodyshaper with suspenders - but not so much now). Fetish stuff tends to be for the bedroom - it’s certainly not something you can wear all day.
Wedding lingerie was they one exception - once I had found what I was looking for and was comfortable in.l, I wore it all day and loved it - and wore it many times afterwards, to the point where it was literally falling apart on me.
Yes: “Busty in a Wedding Dress?” thread found HERE (https://forum.bearchive.com/index.php?topic=243257.0)I thought there was, but to be honest I wasn't sure. Cheers for looking it up and stopping me starting a new thread.

I never buy ladies lingerie, not that I don't want too, but I'm not going to pressure someone to dress in a certain way. I do like them to wear stockings suspenders in the bedroom, but that's about as far as I tend to go. But at the end of the day, their choice. And often I find sex is quite spontaneous. No time for dressing up.But the lingerie I’m happiest in is a nice bra set (Curvy Kate FTW), or a really comfortable bodyshaper (and in my younger days, I loved a bodyshaper with suspendersPersonally I prefer that look.Wedding lingerie was they one exception - once I had found what I was looking for and was comfortable in.l, I wore it all day and loved it - and wore it many times afterwards, to the point where it was literally falling apart on me.Wedding lingerie is normally white?
Yeah I love clothes like that - I have hats and gloves that fit that bill.
*Just looked up basque to see if I had the spelling corect and found this: Pour Moi (https://www.pourmoi.co.uk/product/lavish-push-up-basque-set/?curr=gbp&msclkid=d8d218b6596b1b2844447de345411391&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Shopping%20%7C%20Generic%20-%20High%20-%20Bing&utm_term=4585994284228254&utm_content=Lingerie)
(and a little blue garter), which I took a long time to source, and I also got it altered slightly.Was that because of it being blue?
One was from La Senza and had a front-fastening moulded cup bra (which wasn’t my size or style), and was made of couple-type semi-transparent black material.Sounds interesting.
but is actually more “bedroom” wear (if you catch my drift).Yep.
But, I once had a black marabou babydoll that my partner got me (Google it) - and all I can say is that it felt sooooo good on. I felt sooo sexy wearing it, and often sl33p wearing it. It’s long gone though.That does look nice (just looked it up).
As for basques (that Pour Moi one is a good example, if a tad uncomfortable looking) - there was a time I enjoyed wearing them (for fun - they’re not exactly comfort-wear), but I always preferred a bodyshaper.The comfortableness (or lack of) of these is the thing that always stands out to me. I love the look and how it shapes a woman's body, but got to be only wearable for a short time.
Unfortunately, all of these items are not really big-boob friendly or terribly comfortable - they’re mostly a visual treat for someone else and largely designed to get the blood pumping. 😘I just love the look, I can't say this sort of stuff really gets me going, I feel it is more the esthetic. But not only the look, but the feel of these clothes, just so tactile. The sexy part is how it makes a woman feel, that is the bit that turns me on.
If you’re big-boobed, it’s really not a great idea sl33ping in a bra or anything with complex straps/underwires and tight bands.I can imagine. Most people move about when they sl33p, and you body needs to be free to move.
It’s better to go braless with either a slip or a pyjama top, or tshirt. Or - just go nude.Most women I know go for the long t-shirts of PJ's. I don't know many women who sl33p nude for some reason. I prefer it, apart from going to the loo in the night when you find out how cold the bathroom is!
I’ve woke up once or twice (having zonked out the night before) wearing complex underwear (usually after one too many drinks and too much fooling about in the dark), and it leaves a scar, trust me.I think we've all been there to be honest.
what’s more - your boobs don’t get punished (unless you specifically requested them to be punished, that is).I would never punish boobs...

I'm sure you look absolutely fantastic when you dress in lingerie.
This is almost exactly like the basque/corset i had. And pretty much what my dress looked like.
I was slightly bigger in the boobs than these two lovely women though.

Wow, you must be a true beauty queen. :o :)
my dress was white, ballgown type and strapless/off-the-shoulder. It closet of crossed over my boobs at the front - which is why I needed the corset-style basque. I had to find one with ample enough cups, and then have the shoulder straps removed and an inch added to the side liningMy first thought when seeing the style was how your boobs would fit. I guess with a dress which is essentially fitted, you can make all the modifications you need.
I don’t think I’ll ever forget the look on my then fiancé’s face when he saw me arrive. It’s an incredible feeling just to be admired and desired like that. And his dislocated jaw when the dress came off later. 😘You're getting me going Margaret! I do love the anticipation and reveal. Something about how my imagination of a woman's body; and then seeing it in reality ... is soo magical.

Purely in the interests of research, I dug out my wedding photo album to refresh my memoryI thought you'd be reminiscing. It is fascinating how we think we remember things and then we find out that we didn't quite get it right.

I wonder if you'd ever do it all again (not remarried) but like if you could go back in time and reenact the whole thing?
You've made me reminisce about all the weddings I've been too - some as a kid. My sister got married in the 80's, when the only record was apart from pictures was an audio tape. I'm sure that wedding cost £25K even back then (£81k today jeez) glad I didn't have to pay that!
I do wonder what the future of marriage is. I don't think people are going for it as much as they did,

I’d do it all again in a heartbeat - but you can never go back. I’ll never be that young again - but that’s fine.No, alas true. Although with virtual reality, in the future, maybe.
something I’m sure almost every little girl dreams of doing at some point in their early life.I don't think that ever leaves a women - I have a friend who will pop in to random weddings when she sees one as she enjoys them.
I have great memories of it,These days people will have high quality video to watch when they get older. I'm not sure if that is a good thing or not. It is nice to reminisce.
Is Hiram alright? Haven't noticed him around for awhile.
I'd love to see any image of you that you wish to post. You are a BEA Princess, and we want to bow down to you. :)That’s very kind of you. Let me take a bit of time to think about which one to post first (I have many!). Even though I know they’re not actually me - it’s a weird feeling, because they’re similar (albeit much more attractive and refined than little old me - and some 20-ish years younger!).

It’s so out-of-character for me to do something like this - I joined this forum by accident more than anything (to see what my husband was up to), and I’ve come to really like it - but my persona on here is very different from who I am in real life. Even if the photos aren’t real, it still feels a bit like I’m giving away a small part of myself (and I’m irrationally worried that someone might look at the photos and think “ooh, that look a lot like someone I know!”).
I’ll post something later today when I’ve stopped fretting over it.
Trying this again.
Chiara Mazzola,
Would you say she's a JJ cup or same size as Wendy Fiore?
(https://th.bing.com/th/id/OIP.T6RSzdYYviskQTcAT4St6AHaJQ?rs=1&pid=ImgDetMain)

For Wendy I believe you said she could be a 30JJ or a 32HH might work as well.
Yes, Chiara is quite stunning. I knew she was well endowed but I was so focused on her face I didn't realize how well endowed and some recent pics really made me do a double take.
Her thread probably has better samples for guessing. I'll link it below.

That 28 measurement is below the bust?
I guess it's the cup size that counts. I just always remember growing up thinking 36DD was huge. I think that's what they said Samantha Fox was and she was my favourite.
Could Samantha have been a 36 overbust and they used that # to make it sound like she's bigger?

No. It was in the days of the +4 measuring method - where you measured your underbust, rounded up and added four inches. So a 31” back became a 32” and you added 4” to make it a 36. It’s how bra sizes were determined from the 70s/80s into the mid-2000s, and how we ended up wearing 34 and 36DD bras (or XL if you were super-big) - which were all wrong.
So let’s assume Sam was a 31” back, you’d round that to 32” and adde four inches to get a 36 back - and then DD cup was basically what she would have had to fit herself into.
To my mind, she’s probably a 30 back and possibly about 34-36” around the bust, which would give her something like a 30F in real money, but I’m not even convinced she was a 30F. I was a 30/32FF until recently (I’m now a 30GG) and I’m way bigger than she ever was.
She was probably something like a 28F, maybe a 30E.

Margaret, just so you know, these statements drive us crazy. LOL
I remember Samantha Fox well, and I remember thinking at the time I had bigger boobs than her. She just happened to show hers to the nation in a newspaper every other day.

Always good to have someone that knows what they are talking about. :)
I am not sure if we had Leanne Lovelace here in the past.
According to some sources she is billed to have 60-24-33 with a height of 5ft 2in.
Some sources say she has a 102JJJ bra size.
I doubt that she is that hugh around the bust cause she is not that height.
Even 102in for the underbust seems to be not exact, even if this is a metric value, 102cm for underbust might be too hugh for her small body.
I hope Margaret can help to get more precise values.
The picture don't have that high resolution, but I hope the hands under her bust are some help for size estimation.
Thank you Margaret,
that's why I prefer the more accurate "bare hands" measurement method ;D.
Bumping up this thread and hoping that Margaret returns soon because I miss her great personality here. ???

An excellent question. Margaret, to help with more pix, here’s a link to Nancy’s thread (https://forum.bearchive.com/index.php?topic=596327.0). Does anyone know her height?
Hi Margaret

Very difficult to say without seeing some other photos - but she has a broad back and is very low set - and there’s a lot of volume there. She also seems quite short in height. It won’t be an ordinary size, probably in the 32-34 back range and up in the L/M+ cup size.
She would struggle to get any kind of off-the-peg bra to fit her properly (other than the very stretchy, non-wired type of bra she’s wearing in the gif).
Very difficult to be certain, but it’s going to be something like 34M or more.

^ Since nature made her short, it must have made her busty in order to compensate her. ;) ;D
Would be great if Margaret could guess the size of Valentina di Rocco. They must be ginormous, like H to J Cups :o.
Unfortunately I couldn't find any height of her for a better size-to-body relation.

Yeah, as I said, probably something like 32H/HH, maybe 32J (at a push). She does a lot of work to make her boobs sit high on her torso and push out. She has a really amazing figure. I’m jealous!

Thank-you Solvegas, you’re very kind.
Hope when Margeret finds some time, she might like to give some info on this Model.
She goes by Amira Love and the web said she is 5'10" tall with some 44LL/M Cup.
I wonder abot the 44, cause if I understand the meassurement correctly, this number stands for the underbust value. with 5'10" tall and weighting 141lbs,
I think she is slim and might only be around 35" in underbust :o?
Also I have one second question, i hope Margaret can explain:
What is the reason of having two letters instead of the next one in alphabet?
As I understand the system of cup meassuring goes letter by letter, so after a D-Cup comes an E-Cup, but sometimes an E-Cup goes under DD-Cup and the tripple letter DDD is similar to an F-Cup?
I would understand if the double letters stands for inbetween sizes, or even if it is like in Excel where after the last X-collumn it goes on with double letters ;D

I think I may start a thread for Tima. Can you give an estimate Margaret?

Might need some more pics for a better estimate - but it’ll be small in the back and big in the cups. Possibly something like a 28/30 back and JJ/K in the boobs. But it’ll all depend.

I’ve seen this lady on social media a few times. There’s a lot of wide-angle and high-angle shooting going on, which helps over-emphasise size, and of course she wears too-small bras or often puts her bra shoulder straps too tight in order to pull her boobs up. She’s quite short (probably around 5’1” or 5’2”, so that also helps over-emphasise her size as well. With all that said, she has a reasonably slim torso, but a broad back - and she still has large boobs for her overall size. I’d put her in the 32 back category and possibly around JJ cup size (as ever, I go with UK bra sizing). She would be around there if I was taking a guess.

Cris heads to his handy-dandy UK to US conversion guide…
Whoa! 😳 A 32N! Wow!
She absolutely uses some little tricks to look as big as possible. I occasionally see her in a straight shot where she doesn’t appear quite as huge, though. Thanks for the assessment, Margaret!
Looking back through her thread, this shot from this past summer shows her looking a little closer to her true size, methinks. Interestingly, I reported that she claims to be a K-cup, which I forgot about. If she’s referring to a UK cup size, then that would be pretty damn close to your educated guess, Margaret! But, I don’t know if she’s British or American as I’ve never heard her speak, that I recall.
(https://forum.bearchive.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=10006265.0;attach=996179)
Maybe I’m missing something - but I can’t find any photos of her in lingerie, which would help me figure things out. Plenty of shots of her in tops/bikinis, but no bras. The bikini shots are definitely very-small bikinis that she’s using to pull her boobs up - and her boobs don’t look as big. A bra photo would give me much more insight.
Hey Margaret.... Just got something buzzing around in my head....
I would like to know : In the British cup sizing regime , 1: Does one cup size equate to 1 inch , for each step up ??
Also , when you get to the sizes where you use the double letter code , i.e. 44gg or 44hh....Is the double g or double h a step of 1 inch or 1 cup size or is it an 'in between' step , in relation to a 44g or 44h?? ..... Would value your knowledge on this....Thanks .
