now fuck off

>>8175578
Thanks anon!

Drag queens have been doing this for ages (boobsforqueens, etc.) if you have $625 and no crafting skills.

>>8175592
Makes me wish I didn't have boobs so I could buy boobs

>>8175596
You can still yaya your yayas.

>>8175577
Is that a ring toss cosplay?

>>8175600
>You can still yaya your yayas

I thought this was a tutorial for a dressform for big boobies & got all excited cause I'm a 34JJ & too cheap for a proper adjustable dummy

:/

>>8175683
Couldn't you just stop at the "add yellow foam" part of the tutorial and pin the foam boobs to your dummy?

>>8175569
You buy the silicone ones.

Those look like shit, they really really do.

>>8175894
I don't think these would look better. They're kind of creepy, and slightly too small in terms of ribcage width.

>>8175894
What if the point is that you don't want nipples

>>8175683
Just make a duct tape one

>>8176070
Sand them off

>>8176008
Look for ones sold by American/European cross dress shops. Usually you can find them in much larger sizes. Also the ones linked are sort of awful cheap ones. Get a good set and you can actually use liquid latex and makeup to hide the seam and everything. Plus silicone feels flesh like so you can even squish em for photos or to mess with people. Its quite fun.
>>8176070
Silicone is super soft. A quick slice with a craft blade will take them right off.

>>8175894
tfw the fake breasts are smaller than the ones you already have

kek

>>8177647
How fat are you?

>>8177647
I have a little chub but I'm not a hambeast. 36DD is my size.

>those look like shit!
>links an equally shitty alternative

>>8175569
any suggestions on how to get enormous anymay tiddy like this
would i need to wear a back brace

>>8177673

Then none of the fake breasts are larger than yours
sincerely, a 38 DD

>>8178192
>38

>>8178192
a 38 DD is a smaller cup size than a 36 DD you moron.

>>8175569
Is it weird that I want those because they look like a really comfy pair of pillows

>>8178192
In all honesty, I'm actually a 34 DDD (professionally measured), but DDD cup bras are so hard to come by that I have to wear 36 DD instead since they are the most similar.

Boob guide, it's at the bottom.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ldWpvYGZ8RAp6q7NOU502JFdJJgqMIQO6asmwoAE7GA/edit?usp=sharing

>>8178219
I just imagined someone buying those just to motor boat/use them as pillows

>>8178192
I don't think that I'm ever going to find fake boobs that're bigger than mine unless I make them. I'm a 32H and every time I go bra shopping I keep an eye out for a bra with a larger cup than mine that I can buy to stuff but I can never find anything bigger than my size. They tend to stop at that cup size and just go up in band size, which I really don't need.

>>8178266
>(professionally measured)

>>8175569
>>8175578
Read the guide, stupid question:
Do you make the craft foam teardrop shape to your actual boob size(Im a tiny-titty A cup) and then put the spongy foam on top, followed by the nylon? Or is it sponge first then craft foam to the size you want your rack to be?

>>8180519
They'll measure you at Victoria's Secret, pretty sure that's what they're referring to

>>8184972
>implying VS doesnt use purposely innacurate and mislesding sizing

>rec'ing that someone buys overpriced, poorly condtructed swearshop bras

>>8180518

If you aren't a stuesque 6'5" godess anything above an H cup size will be grossly inporpotionate and you will look like some boob hentai parody


what is the appeal of boobs the size of a black woman's ass anyway? When is having a chest butt ever an attractive thing if u aren't a fetishist?

>>8185062
*unproportionate

>>8185052
VS uses their sizing. A 36DD at VS isn't a 36DD at another bra store.

>>8185078
riiiight
you're totally clueless aren't you

>>8185087
No really, what is the point of purposefully selling mismeasured and inaccurate bras? So people return them for a refund?
Explain what's got your ego so puffed.

>>8185112
Not even that anon, but it's a known fact that VS will lie to you about your size to get sales, a lot of women have no fucking clue how bras work/are supposed to work. VS sells specifically generalized sizing and they want to make sales. My friend's gf has a fairly large chest and she had been sized before by someone who knows what they're doing, and was straight up lied to by the VS worker during their sizing sale. I was also sized at VS and for years thought my bra size was 2 sizes smaller than it is.

I don't buy from them anymore to say the least.

>>8185135
Still makes no sense to lie for sales. If a bra's not comfortable, hmmmm maybe it doesn't fit.

I've bought VS bras but turned down their measuring ladies and my bras fit just fine. It's not hard.

>>8178266
Get remeasured or measure yourself.

>>8185136
Like I said, it's not a problem with bras, it's that women don't know how they're supposed to fit, and many times unfit bras won't be uncomfortable, just loose and weird.

>>8184972
GOD NO NOT VICTORIAS SECRET. I got measured at Nordstroms.

>>8185112
They will tell you the wrong size in order to squeeze you into one of their bras. For example, I'm a 30F but my sister size is a 34C. I always get pressured to buy that size at stores even though it doesn't offer me the right amount of support because the band is too large.

>>8185136
Women don't know what proper bras are supposed to look like, and if you don't know what something's supposed to look like, then you're going to take the word of a "professional".

> If a bra's not comfortable
But that's the thing, ill fitting bras, mostly for smaller women, aren't that uncomfortable because the band's too loose. For larger breasted women, the bra might be comfortable, but they're going to have back aches but they won't attribute it to the bra itself, they usually just think it's because their boobs are too big. I've heard many women who think they have an E cup say they want D's instead when they really have an M or JJ or another cup that's way off.

VS (and other department stores) lie to you because it's easier to fit everyone into the AA - DD and 28 - 38 range, instead of stocking a whole store filled with every single size of every single cut imagine able. You're being pretty naive, anon.

Also
>VS says I'm 34 D
>I'm actually 30 FF/DDDD
The closest they carry is 32 DDD, so of course they're going to try to sell me the 34 D.

>>8185136
>>8185112

This is exactly what I was going to explain >>8185177, said it very well. The problem with carrying a huge variety of sizes is that some inventory will inevitably sit, which is a retailer's nightmare. That's why online stores which don't have the same constraints are able to offer a wider variety of cuts, sizes, etc. to consumers while you may not see band sizes smaller than 32 or bigger than 38 in a mall or other brick & mortar shop.

The way that companies push you into their specific, smaller range is by using those special formulas where you add 2 or 4 inches to your underbust to get the "band size". It really skews the shit out of your measurements and you're likely to end up with something that "fits okish" but there are likely better fits out there you don't know about.

I wore the wrong size (34B, pretty common) ever since I started needing bras until a few years ago when I realized my underwires were leaving marks on the sides of my boobs and that was not normal. I drank that fuckin' koolaid believing "Oh I'm only a B cup, I'm kinda small." Another fit issue I had was that the 34 bands were quite loose but not painful to me, like I could pull it off my back about 6-8".

However, browsing that Reddit thread [yea, I am not fond of the place either but there is a ton of helpful info], I remeasured myself without the "Add x" method and realized I should've been wearing a 32D. I also learned that cup and band size are relative and cup size doesn't have to do with how "huge" your boobs are really. The difference in fit and comfort was noticeable immediately when I tracked down a 32D bra. The trouble is finding this size from a company that isn't applying their magical "Add X" formula.

>>8185052
I have never seen a VS bra poorly made. My mom was able to wear the same ones for over 10 years, she always got her money's worth from them. Same with my friends.

>>8177673
>>8178192
>>8178266
>>8185177
>big breasts
>DD

30HH, get on my fucking level

>>8185710
The straps are thin, the gore is too low, the cups don't hold enough tissue especially on the sides... If you've ever worn a bra like Ewa Michalak or Comexin you'd really notice the difference in construction.

>>8185718
You're obese it doesn't count.

>>8185852
>30 inch underbust
>obese

Even if she was short your claim is pushing it. 2/10 for making me reply.

>>8185718
>implying I said DD was big
I'm the last person you quoted and that was practically the exact opposite of what I was saying.

>>8185852
30 inch bandsize ya idiot. At most she will be overweight but by not that much. Pic related, not me but a 30HH bra.

>>8185852
Lol 30 band size is like the smallest a lot of stores normally carry. Good try.

>>8185908
>At most she will be overweight
Depends on how tall she is. I have a 30 band and I"m almost underweight.

>>8185952
You mean department stores that don't know anything about bras?

>>8185999
The smallest I've seen a specialty shop go is 28 so it's not a tight stretch.

>>8185908
>>8185999
180cm tall, 30 band. No where near to obese.

>>8186013
>>8185999
That's why I said "at most" she will be overweight. Most likely people with a 30 band size are normal to underweight.

>>8178200
I don't know what kind of logic you're using but a 38DD is sister-sizes with a 36E so yeah exactly one size up.

>>8185177
Yeah I've explained to i don't know how many girls at work that A-DD is the boob size equivalent of stores carrying XS-XL. They really don't mean much on their own, are kind of arbitrary based on the actual brand's sizing, and there's so many people who fall outside of it or are at weird in between stages. Going to Victorias Secret and expecting their "expertise" to be true in every shop is like going to Forever 21 and trying on a random pair of skinny jeans off a rack and just accepting thats how they're meant to fit because the shop girl told you they look cute.
\

Also somewhat unrelated but you ought to have your size checked about every six months from puberty to age 30, and once a year after that. That first fifteen or so years of having boobs is kind of a roller coaster of cup sizes , and after that they're still pretty prone to changing based on hormones and diet and having kids etc. I'm 26 and went from having B cups at age 22 to having DDs now, on the same band size.

>>8186007
>know a girl who is a size 24G

>>8186113

How

>>8186113
>>8186207
Please post pictures....

>>8185710
Really? I bought a bra in December and it broke on me a few weeks ago. I wear a 34DDD and only handwashed it, no dryer.

>>8186071
But anon, breasts in the same letter with a smaller band size are automatically bigger.

>>8186100
Can anyone ITT help me figure out my bra size. From what I've been told here I'm 32C(give or take) my measurements are 31in chest 35in bust. Some places say i'm 36A though...

>>8186239
I would try a 32D or a 32DD depending on how projected/full you are.

>>8185062
I'm 5'10" and you are completely correct. I used to consider stuffing and things like that but I really don't think that I need it. I wear a corset under almost all of my cosplays anyway so that's probably really all I need in the chest department. A lot of the characters I want to cosplay to have really big boobs though, so I want to try and match that if possible but it just does not work in real life.

>>8186468
I've said this shit in threads before, but it's never about exact measurements, it's proportions. I do the same thing you do, i corset down and maybe get a good push up bra and it looks more like the character due to how the proportions are, usually much better than people who concentrate on just boob.

>>8175653
It's Elena from Street Fighter

>>8186207
>>8186225
I am trying to find one (I wouldn't believe it myself) but she hates her boobs and lives in layers of baggy shirts. I have never seen her wear something that actually shows cleavage and only knew she even had such big boobs because of locker room shenanigans.

>>8186235
By that logic a 32A would have much larger cups than a 38A, which makes no sense at all.

Like I'm not being sarcastic here I sincerely do not understand what you're trying to tell me. It sounds the opposite of everything I've ever read about bra sizing.

>>8188096
I guess they meant proportionally bigger.
A 38A looks just wide and flat, even though it has the same volume as a 32A (if I'm not mistaken-- cups signify volume).
A 32A looks bigger because you have the same-sized boob on a smaller chest.

That comparison diagram that people always post explains it quite well.

>>8188096
Bra sizing is a ratio between the width of the ribs and the volume of the breasts.The bigger the ratio, the larger the disparity between the ribs and the volume of the breast. The number correlates the circumference of the band. The letter correlates with the number of inches of this disparity.

So while a 32A and a 38A would both have only an inch of a disparity, the 32A girl will be more narrow and her breasts will look larger. The 38A girl is wider, so her breasts are going to look smaller.

Imagine putting a penny on a postage stamp and a postcard. The penny will look bigger on a postage stamp, and look smaller on a postcard. It's all about the reference point.

>>8186239
Anon from >>8185238. I have a 32" underbust, 36" bust, 32D fits me very comfortably if it's a brand that uses your actual underbust measurement as the band size and not one of the ones expecting you to add 2" or 4".

A 36 band size is going to be really loose which is not the best thing since support is supposed to come mainly from the band, not the straps.

>>8188140
thats a really good analogy! I've tried explaining bra sizing to my friends and they have a hard time understanding it, I'll try explaining it to them this way

>>8186235
>>8188096
>>8188140
I thought it was.

Number = torso width

Letter:
A - Lemons
B - Oranges
C - grapefruits
D - cantaloupes

>>8194995
number = underbust measurement

letter = chest measurement (around the breast approx at the nipple; parallel) minus underbust. the diff is then translated to letters

a-1
b-2
c-3
d-4
dd/e-5
and so on...

no fruit involved, sorry anon

>>8195036
I dunno, I can usually guess pretty well using what I posted.

>>8195120
>tfw wear 32C
>everyone thinks I'm a 32A
my shit aint grapefruits but the bra don't lie.

>>8194995
Why do women compare bust sizes to fruit? I have never seen a boob that looks even remotely like a fruit - in fact if you have one or more breasts in the shape of botanical ovaries, fruit or otherwise, you should see a doctor. That is a tumor.

>>8195132
It's just the relative size, not the shape...

Also, I'm not a girl.

>>8195133
That still makes no sense. You don't compare the size of things of differing geometry. I wouldn't compare the size of my television with my desk chair.

>>8195220

>>8195220
>as big as a house
>as big as a truck
>as big as an elephant
o-okay anon.

>>8195133
You mean volume. You're arguing that the volume of a C-titty is about the same as a grapefruit.

But it's still wrong. Cup volumes can vary by band size, distribution, boob shape, etc.
Breasts are too finicky to water-down into simple fruit sizes.
Not only that, but the natural sag due to gravity skews it even more.

>>8195132
My breasts are about approximately similar to a fair-sized cantaloupe.

>>8195120
Yeah, except most women aren't even wearing the correct/supportive bra size.
Kate Upton is officially 34D-34DD according to most media - but there's no way her ribcage is 34", she's got a slim ribcage/waist, she's actually a 30G when properly fitted. People who are actually 34D-DD either tend to be fat, or have larger frames overall then she does as a 34" ribcage is pretty large for most women.

>>8195234
Place a fruit on a flat surface. There is too much negative space between the surface and fruit for an accurate comparison to anything but other spheres.

fite me

There are people on /cgl/ who aren't?

>>8188134
>>8188096
Here's an infographic on it.

>cups signify volume
it's the band + cups that are the volume, which is why you want to go up a cup size and down a band size for sister sizing.

>>8192347
>not one of the ones expecting you to add 2" or 4"
You never add 2" - 4" to your band because band size = rib size. Yes, some brands are retarded and thinks it's oh, so hilarious to mess with people like that, but that's why you never stick with what you originally measured and try things on.

>>8185908
Ew, 28-32 DD is far more attractive than that saggy chub shit.

>>8185718
26h. Thinner than you and my tits pretty much as big as they can get before they're a genuine hindrance. They're also so perky a bra is not necessary.

>>8200753
>tfw chubby to fat big breasted friends always making a huge point that even though I'm 28G, I look like a B or a C (even though for those sizes to fit they would have to be 38 and 36)
>short chubby 34DD girl is the worst of all and always compares her body to mine and says how she's so much curvier and has way bigger tits (even though 34D is one of my sister sizes, meaning she's one cup size bigger)
>one day she's doing this in front of group of guy friends and saying how she's always been the one with big boobs in her friends circles
>guy she likes says "yeah, but hers are proportionately bigger than yours, so I think of her more as the one with big boobs"
>bitch has been butthurt ever since and gets visibly annoyed when anyone mentions my boobs being big to this day

>>8195120
For a D to be cantaloupe size, the girl possessing them would have to be pretty obese. Do you like fat chicks?

>>8188140
But the breasts themselves are bigger on the 38A, so that doesn't make sense. A 38A is the cup volume equivalent of 32D. It would be accurate to say 32D looks much bigger even though it's the same size, but not 32A.

>>8185136
Nigger, anyone who knows anything about VS knows they lie about your cup size to get you to buy shit. Like other anons have already pointed out; it's better for business to just carry some sizes and tell people the closest to what will fit them. I thought I was 34D for 5 years because that's what VS told me on multiple occasions, but the truth is I'm a 28H.

Also
>If a bra's not comfortable, hmmmm maybe it doesn't fit. I've bought VS bras but turned down their measuring ladies and my bras fit just fine. It's not hard.
Given how ignorant you are to how the world of bras work, I'm guessing your among the majority of women wearing the wrong size. Most girls who say their bras fit "just fine" without being measured are. Just because it doesn't feel uncomfortable doesn't mean it fits. A bra can be several sizes off and still feel comfortable. Or, you can have it for months or even longer before it starts to get uncomfortable. Either way, don't act so full of yourself like you're the only person that ever put together "maybe if it's uncomfortable, that means it doesn't fit".

>>8188140
I mean this is sort of right and sort of wrong. The depth of a 32A and 38A may be the same but the width differs a fair amount.

Semi-related question: How do you strengthen the muscles above your breasts/prevent boob sagging? I have good pecs (pushups and lifting) but they don't seem to have done much for my boob volume. I have large-ish breasts (FF/G cup) and a small frame. Online sources vary in their advice
>don't wear sports bras, they weaken the breast muscles
>go braless, it'll strengthen breast muscles

I wear sports bras almost all the time, since I fit into my shirts better and get less creepy attention.

>>8208141

get breast massages

>>8208141
There's only so much you can do, since you're only working the muscles underneath. At that size, yours would sag anyway due to gravity.

S-Sorry..

>>8208141
Only thing I can think of telling you is:
>http://www.womenshealthmag.com/fitness/breast-lifting-exercises

You're strengthening to muscles to lift your boobs, and it just really makes them a bit more perky. But with a chest as large as yours it won't really help much...

>>8208141
>go braless, some french guy says so
Ever see those topless tribes in Africa? Protip, they ain't melting from the sun. Since you already lift I wouldn't worry about the atrophy of the muscles underneath them.

>>8208141
Going braless doesn't actually help the muscles or anything, and instead pulls the skin more due to the fat.

>>8209006
If you look at the young girls who haven't had children yet they look perky still Not saying I'm all for braless but I think you can't judge by breasts that have nourished six children.

>>8209066
I think it's good to braless sometimes though, I don't understand why you would a bra 100% of the time anyway.
