They all say do something different, and then there is vanity sizing.  I just looked up how google says to measure, looked at three sites and literally found three different methods.  I think if you go under the breast you are supposed to add inches to that measurement and the cup size it relative to that sum, but like you all say, some places don't say to do that.  You just have to try them on and find your fit, and it isn't always easy even then.

only 4 months?

I'm at 6 months and mine are just conical with puffy nipples.. haha... They have no adult shape to them whatsoever, except for some rounding on their sides near my armpits (Side boob, yay). I'm 35' under bust and 38' over my nipple line (which is like the only part of the breasts that reach out that far).

Am I slow on development? How far into HRT do people normally get adult shaped (not necessary adult sized) breasts?

Grow some, you'll see.

I'm getting there, but it's only been about 5 months.

Sounds kinda like how mine are shaped atm. I'm about 35', 37.8'. Still it's enough to notice unless I cover up with a jumper. Even then, if I'm wearing a bra then it becomes sort of noticeable under the jumper if you pay attention. If it makes a difference, I'm still at my initial E dose without any AA's. Everyone develops at different rates, some early, some late, some stop-start, some slow continuous, so I wouldn't worry too much as long as your hrt is sorted.

Is bigger better anyway?  When I visited Washington DC i cruised the art museums and noted that most classical sculptures of nude women featured wineglass shaped breasts.
Is it really larger breasts that make someone a real woman?  Are we falling for the playboy bunny cultural model of beauty?  How many cisgender women and models do we know that are considered beautiful and relatively petite?

It's vulgar but isn't a handful more than enough?  Big or petite we have the same nerve endings and sensation is, well, part of making love.  Many very ample women actually find them a curse and something that does not correspond to positive attention.  Many want and get a reduction to reduce back strain, fit into regular sizes and stop the stares.

All that being said I too monitor my growth closely and jealously.  It is validation to finally have the breasts I always felt were there in the first place.  But it is how I feel that is the critical difference and that starts, for all of us, between the ears.  Enjoy the differences.  Women are more than boobs

I come from a long line of flat women; all these girls up in here poppin' out their shirts, while I'm just sitting here 1 year HRT flat as Nebraska...

Tessa - I have a large upper body thanks to testosterone and I'd like to have enough to unmistakeably pass as female but not so much as to be a spectacle. With the larger upper torso I need a lot more than the A's I currently have. I'm thinking that I probably need D's to have the appearance that I want. Natal females have a smaller band width and a smaller rib cage so less is more with them.

^ibtc lol 

For US: Size: 34 inches* Cup: F

For UK: Size: 34 inches Cup: G

For Other EU Countries: Size: 75 centimeters Cup: F

For Australia and New Zealand: Size: dress size 12 Cup: G

I tried it but I definitely don't have a F Cup.

Well, there is that dilemma with the large ribcage. Small breasts look like a guy who drank too  much beer in that case. larger breasts on the other hand give that Airport tower look (smaller hips and legs but wide torso which is even larger because of the breasts). I wosh there was a ribcage shrinking magic - then one can just have smaller breasts and be fina and not look like a tower.
