Accepting my shape

[Orb]

I think that it was about 10 years ago. I was still presenting as male. I was bra shopping at Zoe and Company, a local boutique. I was in the middle of a fitting. They had different tops hanging in the fitting room and one was a thin form fitting ladies v neck t-shirt. I figured why not. So I tried it on an the fitter came in and saw meme wearing it. She said " if I had your boobs, I would wear that everyday ". I think that something clicked that day because I did like how I looked.

See... I think that's great.  Everyone here has to agree we are all unique and individual in our own ways.  How our bodies are shaped down to how we look, and feel inwardly.  Some times an article of clothing just "fits".

  As I dressed this morning, I put on a pair of shorts like Sophie mentioned in a past post.  Mid length "slip" shorts.  I have worn things like this for 25 years for various activities.  Like my cycling shorts.  Its funny woman have been purchasing shorts like this being marketed as "boy shorts".  Yet if a man buys something a bit out of the norm it's like every males masculinity is in question.

This morning I decided to hang around my house in a comfortable long sleeved T-shirt (size MP 10-12)...and I don't care if I have to answer the door while wearing it.
Happy Holidays!

Looks good to me. I don't see a problem. 

[Orb]

I think you look good also.  nothing wrong with that.

Happy Holidays to you also!

Joni, you look great! I am so jealous of that flat stomach!  Glad you had a nice morning at home.

I am assuming that you are braless in these images? If so, would be interesting to see the same view while wearing a bra.

Joni,

I would as well as many other women would gladly accept your shape as well. Nothing to be ashamed of there!!! You have a great figure. I do understand that there is nothing very masculine about your shape, none the less, it is a great shape. Just dress is the best you can no matter where you purchase your clothing or what you're wearing underneath!

BTW, I could only WISH to still be as perky as you are. However, we do all have to accept what we have 🤗🥰😍

Thank you so very much for the compliments, Sophie, Gotboobs, Johndoe1, and blad! I'm very proud of having an undeniably feminine figure...if only my wife would be as accepting of it and help me dress it as it should be. She has come right out and said I have the perky boobs of a 14/15 year old, but winces when I complain about not finding men's pants and tops that fit me in a flattering way. (Sigh...sorry for the rant.)

I'm not looking forward to any upcoming formal or work situation. With my job transitioning from needing on-site interactions to now being almost 100% on-camera (or not) I don't need or wear clothes for those scenarios. All my old shirts don't button so well anymore across the chest anymore and my slacks might need a little letting out.

I'll have to shop and I'm completely ignorant to the intricacies of haberdashery required to accommodate my chest's recent expansion.

[Johndoe1]

Layering is a good start. What I have found out is loose fitting verses oversize works better. Form fitting is probably something you want to avoid. Jackets can be an asset as well. 

[JoniDee]

As I lost 40 lbs, my bust remained the same size. So, wearing tops two sizes smaller (going from XL to M) does change my appearance. Without a bra, I have nipple projection, whereas wearing a bra gives my shape more projection.

Joni,

As I pointed out in the I am just Fat thread in the Acceptance, I too lost a lot of weight and my breast size didn't decrease even though my chest size did. I too had more pronounced and shapely breasts myself. And yes, a bra will lift and shape your breasts into a more feminine appearance because of that. You are not alone in that experience.

My opinion is of the two pictures, you look better in a bra than not. You just have a smoother and better overall looking shape in a bra than not. And I think the bra brings less attention to your chest as well.

[Dudewithboobs]

I'd agree, in the bra is a much better shape and appearance than without. While it is evident either or that the breasts are prominent, I feel the projection with a bra is less noticeable, and more polished, than that of which is without. Also removes the aesthetics of nipples showing.

Not to be repetitive, but yes a bra does make you look more "polished".
