What size breasts?

[JeniSkunk]

The sensible solve is to have more than one pair of forms, so you’ll always have the right amount of projection to properly fill out the clothes.
You’ll need to look at the BFS site to figure out which size forms would suit the fashions you wear.

My own situation:
I’m 104Kg, size 20.
After years of being on HRT I finished up with a B cup bustline.
However, most plus size women’s clothing is cut for a C cup at minimum, so I needed to buy a set of forms that would at least give me a C cup so that most clothes fitted right.
Unfortunately, some fashions in my size are cut for a D cup or larger, so I had to get a second pair of forms.

Which forms I bought:
C cup forms – Size 7 Transform Classic II Super Soft. Current equivalent is the BFS US Gold Seal Classic 2. BFS AU does not stock this model of Gold Seal forms.
D cup forms – Size 8 Transform Premier Classic.

Hi Bree
Im am much the same size as you and when i went to get my forms i was thinking the same thing , i was heading to the smaller size but lucky for me i went to see the great people at The Breast Form Store .
Here i was trying what i thought was right for me and then a suggestion from the sales lady was a D cup .
My partner and i thought the C cup was good , but then when i tryed on the D cup with the right bra ……….SOLD .
Our first thought was they would be to big but when i had them on my partner she was like yes thats the ones , and we never looked back .
Try finding a place and go try some on , it worked for me , now my partner is jealous of my breasts …lol lol 😆

Well I’m 5’10”, 86kg, broad shouldered and an 18 top half. When I used forms C cup was about right. Now growing my own and somewhere between B and C, I’ve ditched the forms and the look is not as good but the pride in managing without help makes up for that.

I think D or large is a good size for a larger lady. Our waist line is larger and bigger bust tends to allow a dress or top hang out a little more so our larger waist line is not as noticeable.. I just brought larger forms and they seem just right for my 18 to 20 size

The key thing is to remember that you size the bra correctly according to the size of your rib cage. Most importantly, measure your chest and be honest with your measurement. It will mean that the bra will fit more comfortably and can be worn all day without moving and ‘digging in’.

Once you know what band size to get, then look at what size cups are available in a mainstream bra. Only specialty shops will stock a size 18+ bra in an A or B cup. If you have a partner that has the natural projection that you are after, have a look at what size they are. From this determine what their over to under bust measurement ratio is and calculate what size bra you would need.

For example, a 16B has an under bust measurement of 90cm and an over bust of 100cm. So the over to under ratio is 100 / 90 = 1.111. Then take your chest measurement, for example 105cm (size 20) and multiply it by the ratio of 1.111 to get an over bust measurement of 116.6cm. The size cup that has this measurement for a size 20 is a D cup. So have the same projection of a 16B when you are a size 20 is to use a size 20D.

I have to agree with all the ladies above. Firstly look at GG’s that are about the same size as you are most if you are a larger girl like me have larger breasts. I have I suppose a natural b cup but am a size 20 so my B cup boobs are not feminine at all. For this reason I moved up and purchased a set of forms which brought me to a D or DD cup. Now when I purchase bras I am able to fit into a 20D which is a common enough size and also it gives me that more shapely feminine top half curve. Sometimes bigger is better

Same here, I am size 18, tall and have usually gone for a modest breast size, a C. This has been fine for buying clothes, mainly dresses. Like many I am broader up top than below so I add padding to my hips and derrière to try and present a feminine outline.
A number of years ago I was given a pair of silicon breast forms in DD. And I was amazed how much better it looked, it certainly felt heavier!! My generous benefactor had included a DD bra with wide straps which I needed. I had often wondered how people like Dolly Parton managed.
Based on this, admittedly limited, personal experience I feel a key in working out the presentation is assessing a ratio that works. Tall and broad benefits with a proportionate increase in breast size.
Of course this can create a difficulty when buying certain items of clothing, fitted dresses for instance. Where tops and skirts/pants are obviously easier as they are just covering one portion of the body, on the other hand dresses of a given size might make life awkward when having larger breasts. My size 18C works fine but going up to DD in a dress gives me flattened bosoms. But lots of woman have that problem anyhow and they manage.
