Looks great!!! Def more than mine after a year and a half of estradiol and about 5 months of progesterone.
My main issue though is my rib cage is big for my body. Right now I'm stuck at 36AA which either doesn't exist or isn't made properly for smaller cups. I have one CK bra that's a 34A that I can squeeze into the band, but even buying the same bra they didn't fit. So guess I got a defective one, but in a good way. Though the cup is still a little big it does push them together a bit at least. I dont want big and want to avoid implants, just want enough to make clothes fit right. I have no curves besides a bit of belly, which is the one bad kind, 🤣.
I tried Pepper and The Little Bra Company, but they didn't do too well either. Either they still gap or they flatten what little there is.
Probably will give it another year before considering B cup implants unless I can at least fit a 36A...or my ribcage shrinks...lol...id be quite happy with a nice full 32B 😁.
I get what you mean about proportions, it can be so frustrating 😅 I’m pretty tall (about 6’1”), and when I checked my measurements on A Bra That Fits it suggested around a 40D. The 40 band bummed me out a bit lol. I did gain some weight after starting HRT and I’m working on losing some now, so maybe it’ll go down a little… though I doubt by a ton, I’d love to get to a 36 someday 😭
I haven’t really gotten into bras yet either, I mostly wear sports bras occasionally and haven’t had too many issues. Although I did have something similar happen, I bought the same sports bra in two colors and one fits tighter than the other 🙃
Bodies (and sizing) are so weird, I hope you find something that fits you comfortably soon 🫶
