- which meant back then that my uniform, and everything else I ever wore, looked terrible! My girls are still large, but at least these days I can get adequate support, even if it does cost the earth and I import it from the UK!
When I see the girls who get DD+ implants, I shudder when I think they will soon realise the misery of a very large bosom. Well, I found it troublesome. How my straps cut in, how I'd be dusted with powder in hot weather! Then the size 16s into which I squeezed burst open, teeshirts looked rather... vulgar, and I longed to run and jump unencumbered. Then there was a party where several blokes thought it funny to get my bra undone. Oh, hideous hateful moment.
I know that I have written many times about (my passion)
lingerie; sorry Forum Readers, but Maria is right to remember the days when pretty fashionable large cupped bras were a rarity. Although, the other day (just before the DR sighting) I was looking rather affectionately in a Triumph shop at a pointy-cupped strongly elasticated lace encrusted Doreen!
How happy I was to wake up in Recovery back in 1975, and to peer at the wadding on my chest that concealed my breast reduction! I don't remember a moment of post-op pain!
