Accepting my shape

[Orb]

A picture is worth a thousand words.  JoniDee you certainly do look better wearing than not.  Bras by design do shape wearers into a much nicer look.   I think you look good there.  Much better wearing.

I'll contribute a couple of cents' worth:
hangin unsupported;
supported in bra;
supported in bra in shirt.

I no longer try to hide them - pretty much out there anyway.
No negative reactions directed at me.  Seems most either don't really notice or just don't care.

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,


When I lost 40+ lbs, I'm actually at about 50 now, I had the same kind of results. My waist appeared smaller, hips were more broad, and my bust appeared more projected. I definitely had a feminine figure too. I was actually very surprised and happy with my shape. 

There is nothing wrong with your figure. If you tried wearing men's jeans, I think that it would look like you were trying to hide your figure rather than wearing something that flatters your shape.

Maybe it's because I see a woman's figure in your pictures but, I personally think that you look better wearing your bra. It gives your breasts a nice shape.

I think for many, we think our breasts are primarily fat and for some it may be, but others, it's plain and apparent it's breast tissue, not adipose. So weight loss ends up working in all the right places, but the breast are little to no effected leaving them to be even more apparent than before, if they were and have been. I think it's great you wear what works for you. I think most of us should quit wearing the shirts that are a size or two too big or layers to mask the obvious and just embrace it. Kudos to you for doing so.

That is why I no longer buy mens jeans.   they simply make me look frompy and unattractive.

Well said. Many, including myself may well delude ourselves, but we fool nobody 

[JoniDee]

This is how I dress myself on a typical day. I wear a man's Medium size button down shirt, a tank top, 36D bra, woman's size 10 Petite jeans, leather belt, and woman's size 11WW Booties. I try to have a little fun with my outfits.

Joni,

You look great! Nothing wrong with that choice. I would never give you a second look. Love the booties. 

[Dudewithboobs]

I dig the boots and outfit.

 Speaking of boots... 
 
I purchased a pair of boots with a 2 inch heel. 
 
Totally diff. Feel that keeps my arch above the ground and no pain...

Thank you Sophie, Evolver, Orb, blad, and Gotboobs! I appreciate the supportive comments! Besides women's tops and bottoms, I found that women's size 11WW ankle boots feel more comfortable than the men's shoes I've been wearing. Anyone else discover that?

Absolutely! I bet many men are naturally better naturally proportioned to wear women's stuff. 

I'm 5'3" and fortunate or cursed depending on viewpoint and wear a men's 6 1/2 to 7 (try to find them) men's shoe and size 9 women's fit best. My feet are narrower than the average guy so over my lifetime I definitely found that many women's things fit better than a comparable garment for men.

Jeans, sneakers, moccasins / flats,  tank tops, T-shirts, PJ's even socks and panties have always been a better fit and more comfortable for me.

Gino, yes, I've been gradually replacing my male wardrobe with feminine styles. I'm all female garbed today on a rainy day: Long sleeved Tee shirt, jeans and belt.

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. 

If I understand correctly, slip shorts and boy shorts are women’s underwear, like panties. I find them to be more comfortable, softer, silkier and fit better than any men’s underwear.

Long before I transitioned, I wore women's panties. At my first bra fitting when I was 16, I was asked if I needed anything for panties. My mom was hesitant but let me get them. I never wore men's underwear again.
