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.  I'm incorrigible. 

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.

Yes, very true but then you are not a pervert like me.

I 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?

I’ve heard of them. It’s nice looking stuff. I did a search for my size (32FF) and I have to say it’s not my cup of tea. 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. It’s hard to find a balance and get something nice though. Who is it for, and what size do they normally wear. 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. It can be fun sometimes to get something like that, but when he figured out what I liked, he started buying me much nicer stuff - usually slightly more practical/comfortable than “bedroom” wear, but definitely something I’d wear either day to day - or, to a night out. 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. Give me some more details about the recipient (and your budget) and I’ll recommend something.

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.

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.

This is why we love to get your experience of women's clothing.   I'm much knowledgable after reading your posts.

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.

^That's from one of Score magazine's Boob Cruises from the early 90's Margaret, in case you are wondering.

Even with the best intentions, never let your hubby buy you bras

[Big Banana]

You are probably right Shara, although I like to think I am quite helpful, with my head for numbers and the discrepancies in sizes between countries, brands and styles which seem to get worse in the bigger cup sizes.

That’s possibly a challenge too far!

Post me pics of them individually (preferably wearing a bra or bikini) and I’ll give it a go.

Have you thought about Scantilly? Plenty to choose from in 38G:

It's Maxi Mounds, Kayla Kleevege, Minka, Sareena Lee, Casey James and Plenty Uptopp.

I'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.

Let me have a longer think about this one. They’re all on a (broadly) similar range. The two women on either end seem slightly taller. Maxi (?) seems to have slightly broader shoulders - as does Kayla (?), so I’m thinking they’ll both be in the 34/36 back range. And there’s a lot of volume going on with some of the women - so we’re up in the JJ+ scale (and beyond) with some of them. I think I’ve already done Sarenna - so I’ll check back and see what I had her down as, but it’s almost definitely a small, teeny tiny back size for her (like 28/30).

I’m guessing all of these women are retired now? A few of them (Maxi and Casey) have really, really big implants - those must have taken 3 or 4 surgeries to enlarge to that kind of size?

I know some of them from the forum - but who is the woman on the far right? She’s absolutely beautiful. I’m always taken in by a strawberry blonde. 😘😘

I’ll look closer when I get some spare time - but we’re up in the JJ/KK/L/M for some of them.

Oddly, it’s not that great for estimating - although it’s a nice photo. Looks like a lot of volume and full-on-bottom, so cup-wise, it’s probably J-K, but back size could be 32/34/36. Difficult to be sure. Are there any other photos?
