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*?

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. However, I know many big-boobed women who have no difficulty at all sleeeping face-down. I even know of one friend who has implants who sleeeps on her front (they’re not massive implants, but still). Anecdotally, I’ve researched some of the famous big-boob models from the past (that I’ve learned about on here) who have said in interviews and FAQs that they were also able to sleeep face down. 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.

A decent balconette or a full-cup bra would work better.

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.

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. 

Is that not a issue for a busty lady?

[Hiram]

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.

So 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?

Getting comfortable in a chair and working at a computer can be uncomfortable if it goes on too long.

Running.

But in general, most tasks involving an element of manual dexterity (cooking etc) can sometimes produce annoying moments.

I’m possibly exaggerating ever so slightly - having boobs (even having big ones) isn’t all bad. It just presents regular challenges that somehow become second nature.

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.

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 slightly

I'm not sure you are.

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 think staring at boobs is one of those involuntary impulses that all men have, I do it, and it is difficult not too.  That said of course, if it is making someone feel uncomfortable.  Personally I am more careful with younger women than older ones, my feeling is that younger women haven't quite built up an immunity to it and will probably find it more uncomfortable.  I think we all get a thicker skin as we age.   Not that I'd stare at an older lady if she felt uneasy about it.

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. She doesn’t look like she’s a 38 back. Apparently, she was only about 5’5”, so I would be thinking she was more like a 32” underbust - and probably something along the lines of an H/HH. She seems broadly similar in shape and size to Traci Topps and Sarenna Lee, so perhaps 32J - at a push.

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.
