Well girls I had an interesting "Bra" Development last week. I am now 44C in Bust size, but with my build I prefer being D Cup. When I first started transition 5 years ago, I went out and bought a beautiful and very authentic set of Amoena Breast Forms, to help with my overall shape:

At my age I have rather outgrown my beautiful 100mm Louboutin Pigalle shoes
http://asia.christianlouboutin.com/au_en/shop/women/pigalle-1.htmlThat morning I had put on a new padded underwire 44D cup bra(middle clips) under a really nice lace sleeveless green dress (with incorporated slip), green flat shoes and green handbag with a fawn mid length short sleve cardigan.
In the shoe store I tried on a bunch of shoes of different shoe sizes (and heel sizes) - in the end I selected a dark grey pair of kitten heels in 10 C wide fitting and some very comfortable soft tennis shoes. (They are doing a second pair half price deal now). Whilst trying on a pair of heels (higher than the one I bought), I noticed my dress looked a bit awkward looking in the mirror. Anyway I adjusted things (without trying to bring attention to myself) and headed to the checkout. Anyway I went to pay, made some pleasant remarks to the sales assistant and walked out of the store, got back in my SUV and headed home. About 30 minutes later, I had to make an emergency stop because of an idiot male driver in front pulling out in front of me. With that I felt really strange as the safety belt pulled up on my right side and I realised that my right Amoena breast form was not where it was supposed to be.
Hurried phone calls to my beauty therapist confirmed that it was not there and finally one of the sales assistants at Diana Ferrari said they had noticed it on the floor near the sales checkout. At first they couldn't work out what it was but as its mainly a womens shoe store (huge) put it in a bag at the checkout assuming someone would return to collect it. Of course this required another 250 km round trip the following day as the store had already closed.
The morale of the story is I think is not to wear new underwired bras out in public with a breast form until you are absolutely certain this will not happen. In the meantime I am reverting back to my non wired cotton 44C bras which I know will not cause such accidents to happen!
