I wonder if I'm the only one who's top, primary reason for doing this was to fit into more clothes. Not to look better in clothes, (although that would be awesome too), but actually to bring myself closer to standard clothing measurements. I love clothes, and maybe I'm also too easily frustrated, because I've been driven absolutely insane by having to return 9 tops out of 10 to the rack because they were huge in the bust. My second most important reason for doing this is because for a long time my small boobs compelled me to stay right on the edge of underweight. People tended to think I wanted to be stick thin, or that I would grow some boobs if only I put on 5 pounds, but neither of those things is true. For example, over the last 18 months or so I unintentionally gained about 20 pounds.During that time, my boos only grew a half inch, but my waist grew 3", and my butt grew 4". That means, unless I'm super thin, my proportions are super weird. Clothes are designed under the assumption that most women have a waist that's 8 or 9" smaller than their bust, so really it comes right back around to my first reason. I just wanna fit into clothes already!!
