Am I being unreasonable about the 4-boob photos of lingerie models?

Have been having major bra-buying episode- both online nad in shops.

I am now deeply fed-up as I have realised that the models in the photos are in fact wearing cup sizes that must be 4 sizes too small- so they get that pouring over the top look!

Having had several sizes of bras delivered courtesy of M&S, I can see that the over-flowing efect comes from wearing a bra the wrong size!

I am a 32C- I like the push-up bra effect, so I'm not comparing what I wear with industrial size crates, but it seems a big con!

That bra may not have them but you can add them in separately. You can buy just the fillets.

That bra defo looks too small for the models' boobs. If you really look at the bra it looks like quite a small cup size, but quite obviously she has ample bosoms, especially if they curve like that at the top with her arms above her head.

Depending on what shape your boobs are and how they sit, determines what cut of bra you should wear for the big cleavage look.

I have a couple of "huit" bras with optional chicken fillets and they do make my boobs look like that.

A bit ott for everyday I find and in danger of escaping.

Not good for leaning over students' work I find.

Although could get their attention I s'pose.

Also as a pp said, under anything but a v. low cut t-shirt you look bulgy and bumpy.
