I found the file that contained my measurements when I started my quest. So I pulled out the trusty tape measure yesterday to see what progress I had made. I was actually stunned to see from a measurement standpoint i have made minimal progress since beginning my journey in November of 2008 (has it been that long)
My initial measurements were
Band: 42
Bust: 46
Waist: 40
Hips: 42
My yesterday measurements were
Band: 42
Bust: 48
Waist: 40
Hips: 46
Looking strictly at the numbers one might get a little disheartened in that my bust measurement has been fluctuating between 46 and 48 the entire time, although my hip measurement seems to indicate i am getting the bigger butt that desire even without the wider feminine hips.
Although the measurements seem to provide a bleak view of my progress, i have to look beyond the numbers to see "the rest of the story".
If you look at the lieing pictures, (I am much prettier and thinner when i look at myself in the mirror) I do notice i have developed female breast. They are definitely not man boobs. More importantly, i can feel them protruding when i reach across my chest. There is definitely a hand full of breast tissue behind the larger nipples. I think my nipple rings mask how big the areolas have become, but those too are distinctly bigger if you compare the 2008 pics to today's. My breasts would definitely be an A cup on a bio female, but i think my wide rib cage masks them to a degree (which is good and bad, depending on which gender i want to present, which is a different discussion)
All this rambling brings me to the original point of writing this post.
BRA SIZE
If you believe the bra size chart calculators, a 42" band and a 48" ust measurement gives me a DD cup. Halla yulla, there is is breast fairy. Then reality sets in. There is no way a DD cup bra will look natural. And there is no way in hell my perky little breasts will fill all that material.
I know all the bra calculators and bras in general are designed for bio females with distinctly different rib structures. But there seems to be enough of us males, gurls, transgendered beauties that want and need to wear a bra to have a calculator that will tell us what cup size we truly are so we can get a bra that fits properly.
