I'm a 34N. With a very slim back and big bust some people would say I'm top heavy. With a good bra though that prevents too much bounce I feel confident and have never had anything but complimments for my figger by men and women!

I've been wearing lingerie for many years now! I also find it very funny how bra fitting charts vary! I went for a fitting once at Victoria's Secret and the fitter told me that I was a natural 38c,when in fact I normally wear a 42d. They were just trying to sell me a bra! The fact was,they didn't stock that pacticular style bra,in sizes bigger than a 38c.

This does not surprise me at all. I developed early and rather large and got the distinct feeling, from some people, that this was considered a moral failing instead of an individual's dna at work. People are truly foolish.

I was always what I call a "barely-B." When I got pregnant the first time I phoned my husband from the Linda's fitting room to tell him I was - gasp - a "perfect 36D!" Now nursing my second kid, I'm a 36E, which I had always thought must be HUGE. And honestly I don't look crazy busty, or really even sort of busty, and certainly not disproportionate. Weird.

Our boobs are only out of proportion if we think they are. I agree with Taryl's observations. I wear a 44M and my boobs don't look all that huge with my height and bone structure. Bras and clothes, plus everybody's different makes it impossible for a stranger to give good advice on the internet!

@Taryl I feel the same way when I tell my friends that I am a 32I/H ha ha ha. I have a slight build and absolutely do not look disproportionate. One of my biggest pet peeves is walking into a common lingerie store, or even a maternaty store, that definately does not carry my cup size and they try and sell me a bra. I inform them of my size and they say " Oh, well why don't I get you a 36DDD to try on?" Once you have a proper fitting and have been wearing your correct size, there is no going back to trying to balance between a bandsize that won't be too big and a cup size that won't be small!!

I agree with Taryl. Being a 42J, I don't think I appear disproportionate either. Kinda broad-shouldered and straight-hipped, but it seems to "go" together, anyway.

Check out the Playtex website for bra fitting. They give the most horrible advice on selecting sizes. Women are receiving bad fitting advice from "experts" who want to sell bras and offer a very limited range of sizes.

This always cracks me up, people are SO misinformed. I love informing my girlfriends that I wear a 38J and having their eyes bug out as they look, perplexed, and say my breasts don't look that huge at all (and in fact, very proportional to the rest of my body, thanks to broad shoulders and curvy hips.) It's amazing how our bodies usually grow in a way that suits the rest of the package ;)

This is pretty funny to me! I think that people think that 32E is super large, when in fact, it is roughly the same as a 34D or a 36C, etc. I wear a 32F while nursing and I certainly don't look especially large-chested or disproportionate at all. I wear a size medium shirt, so I can't be that freakishly busty, LOL! If you asked a panel of people what size bra I wear from just looking, I'm sure most people would guess C. To most people, A=tiny, B=small, C=average, D=large, etc. When in reality they are just inches larger than the band size.
