Well I do love corsets, I like the hard look of them. And i dont do like tight lacing, hell i am lacing them myself behind my back or usually before i put them on. Do I wish I could have both a fitted waist and boob room, yes. But $1 and $9 China crap doesn't factor in freakishly large boobs, really nothing does, but especially not China. Their plus size isn't plus size either. Like a China 2xl is probably a medium or large American. So like that purple chemise is the largest size they made. for $1, I'll gamble.
Now regular clothes, well everything is a gamble. For example, I just took my measurements, hips were a 40, waist 31, and boobs 51. So that means I wear a 10 medium, 12 Large , and a 22 3xl. That red dress was a 12L. If I had bought it 10 sizes bigger to match my boobs, it would have been 12 inches too big in the waist and 11 in the hips (once you pass size 16 they usually give more room in the waist per size) So, what would we have thought about that red dress 12 inches larger around my torso? Normally I would have bought a 14 or 16 or 18 or 20 depending, trying to split the difference but the fit looked so large on the model I figured I'd be ok sizing for my waist.
I used to actually buy dresses and tops by my bust measurement, thinking it makes sense to buy what is made to fit my largest body section. But then a simple top I actually wear as a summer dress too on weekends lol. And girlfriends yelled at me constantly for it and threatened to take me on "what not to wear". Homeless people gave me clothes because everything was so large they assumed I was getting clothing out of donation bins. My company laid off over half my building, which captured every female work friends, two women then brought me clothes saying they could not leave the company without giving it one last hard push to get me to stop wearing clothing that was too big. Then my office instituted an official HR policy against oversized clothes lol. Yeah, guess that means I should not buy the 22 haha.
Thus, I am stuck at what size to buy? This run was at a standard size store, a standard size junior store, and Chinese Amazon lingerie so my fails were going to be fails because too tight. My next run might be a plus size store, and all my falls will be too big because they start at 16 mostly.
I post both wins and fails because i think it is funny, but I will return the not tolerable things. If it is uncomfortable, I won't wear it, but I will take the gamble on cheap lingerie because I am cheap and mostly the issue is boobs and they will move up and over. Some don't fit that bad. I take the gamble on both sides with standard clothes as I have no choice. Society prefers I don't walk around nude, those bastards.
I get the feeling most people think it is fantastic to have enormous boobs and that you must be so lucky.
Looking at how some of your garments fit, I figured it must not be all fun and games for you.
You certainly confirmed that with your response.
I know it's not the same thing, but I once saw a show (on TLC maybe?) about this dumpy guy who supposedly had a 13.5"...appendage.
He was saying that while everyone thought he was so lucky, it was really inconvenient in day-to-day life. He couldn't wear certain clothes. Every time he sat on the "throne" his appendage would be in the water. Women only wanted to go out with him because of their curiosity to see said appendage, etc...
Your story also reminds me of an episode of Two And A Half Men where Alan was discussing the "plight of the large-breasted woman." When the women to whom he is speaking says that it's not an affliction, he agrees but notes the attendant back problems they have and dubs the condition MMS - Massive Mammary Syndrome.
