Today I'm doing a post about something a bit different; My tits! Seriously having big boobs is the actual bane of my life. For many different reasons.
- Clothing. I can never find clothes that fit me properly, being an 'E' cup and a size 10-12, and only 5'2, I look dumpy and out of proportion. There are so many different styles of clothes that I can't wear because my boobs make it look ridiculous. Smock tops and maxi dresses make me look huge. I can never find fitted button up shirts, I usually have to get a size 18 or even 20 and then it doesn't fit me anywhere else.
- Underwear. Big bras = Ugly bras. Unless I am willing to spend around £40 on each bra, and I just can't afford that. High street chains like Primark have got a bigger range, but there is a really small selection, and they are usually really ugly. Matching sets that come together are a no-no, as the pants are never the right size.
- Backache and Posture. I have recently realised that my posture isn't the best. I tend to haunch forward a bit because of the weight and the fact that my bra straps dig in to my shoulders. I also get back pain when I stand up for long amounts of time, and being a Chef that is my job!
- Comments and Presumptions. People do stare, 'lads' (you the type..) make stupid, thoughtless comments and some men I have worked with think it's OK to call me 'tits.' If i had a massive arse people wouldn't say to my face 'Wow your arse is massive' so I'm not sure it's justified to make comments about my chest. Once in a club, somebody thought it was OK just to grab them.
- Stay away from high-waisted shorts and trousers. They draw so much attention to the chest area, and can make you look really top-heavy.
- V-Necks are the most flattering. This is because the V-neck line draws attenion to your neck and face, and breaks up the expanse of the chest. Obviously choose a V-neck that is not too revealing.
- Avoid Polo Necks and high round necks. They are so unflattering for larger chests. and make breasts look saggy and distorted.
- Wrap dresses and cardies are flattering. These are flattering as they draw attention to the waist area, and pull breasts forward.
- Dresses that are cinched in at the waist flatter a big bust. Again, as they draw attention to the waist area.
I have nowhere near a huge bust like you - but even things I put on sometimes makes me look about 10 sizes bigger! Less is sometimes definitely more ;)

ReplyDeleteAww that must be really frustrating! Would you ever consider getting a breast reduction? Seeing as it's affecting your posture and causing you pain =/

I hate that there is a size that we are meant to be to wear clothing, they don't make clothes for people with bigger or no breasts. I don't really have any breasts and even size 6 clothing hangs below my bra and I don't want to have to wear a vest under nice tops like a child, when I was younger I was a size 10 but I felt the need to lose weight as nothing coverd my bra. I personaly like my chest but other people constantly ask me if I'm going to have a boob job when I'm older then ask me why and look at me like I am mad when I say no.. It angers me. Sorry for the rant haha, but yeah I get how you feel about clothes.x
ReplyDeleteI am exactly the same having a big chest and being 5 ft 3 myself does make me look disproportional, I also makes it hard to run!!!
