Cracks probably should have Spackle applied.

Me on the other hand was wanting to see a crease, and I did.  The crease remarkably snapped back all by itself when removed from its vise.

Today I will be at work with my usual perky self.  I will try to be cheerful too.

Have a splendid day!

When it comes down to it, perhaps this effort to show cleavage was silly.
It has been interesting but all along I just want to be the real me.
But, maybe an occasional use would be good for that particular day.

We all need the occasional Affirmation Day where we spend a little extra time on makeup, hair, nails, outfits, and booblilage. It's nice to have all the needed accessories available when we want to go all out.

Quote from: ChrissyRyan on September 15, 2024, 06:01:47 AMWell, I am pleased to say that I did it.  It is a tad bit tight but the results were what I wanted to see, my cleavage and breasts close together.  Likely will only wear this is few occasions though, I think I will go with my everyday perky.  But this was fun.  This will also take care of my boob size envy days, as this plunge push-up bra is padded.

By the way, I kept the same band size but went down a cup size to A to find a bra that showed off parts of the tops and inner sides of my breasts.  This is also an underwire bra.

Chrissy

I must have a boob size envy issue that is continuing.  Today I wore this bra mentioned above, but not under a revealing top.  I added an extender that I received Monday evening, although it did not need to be extended to the maximum length of the extender.  This did result in the bra not being as tight. 

I got through the day but this bra is not as comfortable as my others, even another push up bra.  It was not tight with the extender, it just was not as comfortable.  Hard to explain.  If I want to appear bigger I think I will wear my other push-up bra next time.

Also this bra I think is defective.  It may be returned.  Unsure though if I should as I wore it, and not just to try it on.  So I will not.

You could hand wash it and donate it to a women's shelter or other charity.

It is most odd, the top of one of the cups is bending outwards a tad.  That makes this bra NOT good for wearing under a t shirt.  Okay for layering, maybe.  It is not a lot of curling outwards, it is very annoying however.  Ironing does not help.

I had one do that. If you have a ball or something to use as a form. Dampen it and put it over the ball and fold that part under so it is poking in instead of out. Let it dry. It fixed mine.

The problem was the "padding" was foam and the outside was stretched tighter than the inside, pulling the top edge outward. By folding that part back in and holding it there while it dries, it kind of evens out. It took me awhile to figure it out, but eventually, it worked.

Worth a try if you otherwise like it.

I may just do that.  Would a softball do?

something about the size of the cup. You are just trying to maintain the curve of that top edge while it is folded under.

About six years ago a golf ball may have been the right size.  Well, that is about how big the cup had to be then.

I have a couple of older bras that curl at the top edge too.  It's most noticeable after washing them.  They are padded and the ones I wear the most.  Sometimes I'll grab the cups at the top and bottom with my palms on the out side and my fingers on the inside.  Then I'll ever so slightly stretch the outside of the cup.  I can then roll the curl back and they are fine under most tops.   

I do air dry them, so I may try the ball thing next time.

I did not wash this new one with the slight curl at the top.  Maybe it can be used with some tops and maybe the fixing technique with the ball will work.

I went back to my usual everyday bra today. 
The fanfare is over!  No more fuss.

Quote from: ChrissyRyan on September 14, 2024, 08:41:22 AMHave you tried to get a bra that shows your cleavage and breasts close together?

Was it a half cup bra?  Was it a plunge bra?  Was it a push up bra?  How did it work out for you?

Did you have enough breast to show what you wanted with this bra?

The breasts are a tad more separated apparently on most MTF women so this look is likely a bit harder to do as compared with CIS women with the same breast volume.

Chrissy


Later this week I'll be trying to get some to help me get my breasts closer together, to get a more feminine look to that part of me.  I just made my first bra fitting appointment with a small store in town.  And my best fitting bra I'm finding is getting pretty snug and I was using a bra extender on it.  However I think my breasts have grown and I figured that it was time.  I'm a little nervous because it's my first time going to buy something feminine in real life, except for hair stuff/jewllery.  My other stuff has come from online.

I get mine online too. Once you know your size you can shop anywhere. A front-closure push-up bra will give you the effect you are looking for. One of my favorites for looks and comfort is by Smart & Sexy which adds one cup size. Very comfortable, so I tried for the +2 cup size but it did not fit well and looks horrible.

I've been trying to do my own measurements, so I think a professional measurement will work best, especially since I've heard that MTF breasts tend to grow a lot past 24 months. I've seen other places online that people mention that they find that their breasts (for MTF) tend to grow more after the 2nd year, up to 10 years (similar to CIS women's breast groth), but the studies that have been done by the medical professionals tend to cut off at the 24 month mark, and don't measure anything past.  So this might be my first of a few pro measurements over the next few years.

I've like to get a push-up bra as well, however, my band size seems to be in the 48-54 range, and from what I've seen online, push up bra's in those sizes are hard to get.

In my experience, the breast growth timeline makes assumptions that are rarely true.

They say breast growth starts at about six months into HRT and then maximum growth is achieved around 24 months. This assumes that your hormone levels are where they need to be for your body that entire time.

Yes, I did start some breast growth at six months. It was minuscule. I had numerous issues getting my hormones into the female range, so growth was very slow. After four years of trying various dose increases, different brands, and switching from oral to patches to injections, I finally got my estradiol AND progesterone to the correct levels. Many providers do not prescribe progesterone, or only prescribe it for once a day. This is wrong.

But now, at five years on HRT with the correct hormone levels, they have started growing again. So now I am hopeful that my transition can finally begin now that they are done playing games.  ;D
