Anyone else feel like this?

Weird one but have to ask. I have a big chest and in photos noticed it makes my body look not in proportion, I have slim arms, normal size waist, fat on my belly area then slim legs. My chest looks massive and weirdly I didn’t realise how big they actually look until I saw a recent photo of me in a dress. I feel like I can’t wear anything without looking too booby! If thst makes any sense?
I’m a size 14 and have lost a bit of weight so thought they would look smaller but they look the same, I’m a E-F bra size. Even when I just want to quickly get dressed and walk to the shop I throw on a v neck t shirt and some leggings and feel so self conscious. Anyone else feel like this too?

You are not alone. Grin

You've described me to a tee. Size 14 but a J cup. And yes my boobs look huu-uge in photos or when I catch my reflection in window panes. Funnily enough I look proportional in mirrors.

My clothes have to be planned well in advance. Many days I feel my boobs define me. It's really not nice. I have posted about this in MN as well. No magic solution here sorry but watching with you...

Yes,same here. I feel such an odd shape and i’m Trying to find dress to get married in that doesn’t make me look enormous from every angle.

Yes I'm a size 12-14 & on a diet, losing weight off my back for example but not my chest so I'm still a G cup.
I have to be careful what I wear or I can look fat or too sexy iyswim.
Even when I wear a normal T-shirt men stare.
It is annoying to have to wear scaffolding-like strapless bras with camis for example too.

Yes! Although I ha e put on weight recently and am more 16 than 14 these days. Bizarrely I feel better in proportion to my boobs!

If i had money to spare i'd get a boob reduction tomorrow. I'm a 12/14 with a bra cup size GG or H.

EVERYTHING i wear is ruined affected by my boob size. Everything.

A simple jersey summer slip dress turns into a sexy nightie.
A frilly blouse turns into some awful medieval apple seller costume.
A high necked jumper gives me a boob shelf you could sever tea for four people on.
A 'crisp white shirt' gapes at the buttons or hangs like a kaftan.
Pretty floral dresses make me look like something out of a carry on film.

Bugger off boobs!!!!!!! :(

Yes, feel your pain! I’m a 14/16 with 36 F boobs and I really struggle. I’ve been looking for a dress for a friend’s party but have sent approx12 back to store as I just look massive around my chest but not in a good way :(

Greyhound22 · 25/05/2019 15:28

Yep. Size 12/14 but with FF boobs. Started to make me miserable for the first time the last couple of years. I love polo necks and high necks and I just look like frumps-ville.

shitpark · 25/05/2019 16:52

Yes. Me too and I'm smaller than you. I've been in a hobbit of slouching since my teens and now have stopped. It's not just how self concours I feel but the stares and often the comments. I slink around in clothes that don't draw attention, but am going to stop. I can't help the body I have. Just got to actually be more confident instead of just thinking it, I don't want my 9 year ol dd to pick up on my anxiety

shitpark · 25/05/2019 16:54

Forgot to say, size 8 with Ff boobs. Summer is worse, in Winter can cover up with a coat and an artfully placed scarf.

shitpark · 25/05/2019 16:55

So many typos.
Although do feel like a hobbit

wellhonestly · 25/05/2019 16:57

YES!

I tend now to wear dark colours on my top half.

Bravissimo dresses and tops are good, although I personally avoid the cleavage-y ones.

Laiste · 25/05/2019 17:14

I'd love to wear long interesting necklaces.

Sigh. Nope. Within the first 2 minutes long necklaces arrange themselves gleefully over one boob or the other like some weird harness Hmm
