Bra sizes in our stories

[YmaOHyd]

It is absolutely the case that men assume women's clothes work like men's, where most things off the rack are true to an objective size.

I wonder if there are stories in which the MMC's biacromial width is mentioned. Seems like the ladies (or whoever's into big dudes) need some numbers to drool over too.

They get the number that's one of the most important benchmarks in online dating: height.

6ft and 6 figures baby!
A girl's got to have her standards.

The way things are getting more expensive, 6 figures isn't even a guarantee anymore. But "Six figures, but the first digit is at least a two, OR the second digit is a five or higher" just doesn't have the same ring to it.

Ultimately it's the Penthouse/Playboy/Page 3ification of women

I got six figures.

Six bills each with the figure 1 on them.

I prefer to describe boobs in handfuls.

That's not even true for men anymore. It's not nearly as bad as it is for women, but I have jeans from different brands, same size that all fit differently.

And tshirt sizing is all over the place.

Do quarter handfuls count?

Yes...yes they do!

Apple-sized breasts, peach-sized, orange-sized. Tits the size of grapefruits. She possessed a set of honeydew melons that strained her blouse's ability to contain them. Looking at her boobs, he wondered if he sucked them, they would taste like watermelon; they were biguns, not yet drooping melons, but sure enough, back breakers.

Handfulls? Yes!

Handsfull? Not so much.

The clip isn't available on Youtube (but the full episode is), but in the Are You Being Served? episode "German Week" Mrs Slocombe and Miss Brahms open a box of of German bras:

Miss Brahms: Crikey. Bustenhalter? You could carry a lot of coal in these.

Mrs. Slocombe: Whatever size is it?

Miss Brahms: Says here, clean.

Captain Peacock: Klein, Miss Brahms. That means small.

Mrs Slocombe, observing that the bra is twice as big as Miss Brahms: They're well-built, those German girls, aren't they?

Trust me on this: tiny titties absolutely count.

Symmetry, nice nipples, & sensitivity mean a lot more than size.

This dude just red herring'ed me. He's like, look at the Banno story! Meanwhile the Imli one just dropped and might be the hottest thing I've read this year, and I'm saying this on new year's Eve.

Ask and ye shall receive! I have tried to cram in as many metaphors as I could!

A visual of why cup sizes mean nothing without band sizes as well,and how even that won't give an accurate visual of actual breast sizes to cup/band ratio.

Top row illustrates the cup volume difference across a single band size.

Middle row shows all DD breasts, each is a different breast volume due to different band sizes.

The bottom row shows the different sizes the same breast volume can appear on different body sizes.

The basic rundown is: using bra sizes just plays into the male view of a woman's body and their expectations for it based on ignorance of what the numbers and letters actually mean. When they hear D, B, C whatever, they are probably defaulting to their favorite actress/model/porn star/ex with the same letter size boob, regardless of band size listed. If that is what you are going for, go hard and enjoy writing it!

If you're trying to actually give the reader a visual of your character who maybe doesn't look like a model/actress,there are better ways than a convoluted system that even most women don't fucking understand because even if you go by proper measurements and sizing conventions, chances are you're gonna be a different size in different styles and from different companies and in different colors, because why should shopping be easy?


(Yes, I am bitter about the bra industry and its foolish lack of consistency across products. It would be very nice to be able to go to a store with my measurements and simply know something.is gonna fit instead.of having to try on five sizes around the size you should be to ensure you get the actual right combo in that very particular style and color and brand.)

This was... educational.

Damm. I had no idea it was so complicated!

Looking at her boobs, he wondered if he sucked them, they would taste like watermelon; they were biguns, not yet drooping melons, but sure enough, back breakers.

She wore her breasts sunny-side up under a gingham server's top that drooped open invitingly when she wiped down my table one-handed, her vigorous action making it look like I was already gripping her hips, adding a sausage and mayo to my order and don't mean just a Bratwurst; why she'd given me a damned Kielbasa so hard I could have tenderised meat with it and I doubted her chicken fillets had seen more than a chipolata until now.

I got bored

Anything more than a mouthful is superfluous.

Same with dicks tbh, but some folks is just greedy

And six-pack abs, right?

And six-pack abs, right?

That goes without saying.

This thread title caught my eye because I just happen to be writing a story at the moment about a young lady with very prodigious assets on her upper front torso.

I'm having fun devising ways to leave the reader with a firm impression that they're both impressively huge and unusually enchanting, all without mentioning anything specific about her actual bra size. She's actually already mentioned bra shopping, and I've referred to the relevant garment as "big and formidable, a feat of engineering."

I have no doubt the reader will imagine the vivid verbal picture I'm trying to paint.
