[Doll]

Doll,
I have the EXACT same problem. All of my volume is mostly on the sides and a little at the bottom. They are "perky" by definition, but I lack any volume in the cleavage area. I am a small 32C, but I look like a 32B or 34A because of my shape. It is sooo frustrating! When I try on 32B's, I get a bad case of the double boob and they are so tight and full that it is uncomfortable. If I change to a 34 band, the band is wayyy to large. 32C's generally fit perfectly. If I grab them, and when the fat is all gathered in my hands, they sure feel like 32C's, but they look nowhere near it!! It's nice to have perky boobs, but I would loooove to have natural cleavage, which is something that my shape seems to want to avoid....

I read another one of your posts about real bra sizes. I always try to explain to people how most women are wearing the wrong bra size, and how this contributes to a lot of the confusion about what certain bra sizes actually look like. For example, when I was fitted earlier this year, I was fitted at a 28D, which sounds ridiculous, but in turn is somewhat equivalent to a 32B. People see "D" and automatically assume that it is huge! Also, a lot of large chested women who claim to be a 34DD are actually so much larger than that. One of my good friends swore up and down that she was a 34DD, but when we was properly fitted, she ended up being a 32H. AN H!!! It makes me wonder how many DD's out there are in fact way past that, but still claim a DD and, in turn, raise the DD standard. I wish everyone was as informed about breasts as the one's on this forum are!!

I know, I hate how everyone sees bra sizes. My friend's mom told her that there was no way she was a D cup (34D/32DD) because she herself was a 40D and has MUCH larger breasts than her. So even most of the adult women out there don't even realize the difference between cup and band sizes (let alone the fact that everyone has the completely wrong band). If more women knew their correct size, it'd be so much easier to find 26, 28, and 30 bands!

Hopefully your breasts will grow into the center more as you reach your goal. Mine finally started growing into the center as I reached my 32DD. So with a plunge bra and a VERY sleezy shirt, I'll have a slight outline of cleavage. Which, I wouldn't even call it cleavage, it's just the obvious outlines of my breasts. Lol I need to find something that has hella padding on the sides and nowhere else...It's my only hope...

I tend to agree that people do lose sight of where they were and if any progress is being made as we grow so accustomed to dissecting how we look. I like to call it BOOBO-REXIA. where you think your boobs are smaller than they actually are and cannot see any progress.

If you feel like you have BOOBO-REXIA then stick some photos up and we will allay your fears!

LOL!!! I love that name for it. I do agree that I've got a pretty bad case of BOOBO-REXIA! Even when I started NBE at a small 32C/full 32B, I felt like I was so much smaller than I actually might have been. I always made jokes about how I was completely boobless, when really I had a friend or two who were even flatter than I was. And now that I've reached 32DD, I just look at them and think who I always thought it would be so different at this point. I thought they would be heavier, that I'd feel them there constantly, that they'd look completely different. And now, I just feel like...they felt exactly the same as they did before, I just look slightly better topless. Lol I don't even see a difference in a bikini top.
