My breasts aren't so big after-all

My 3 friends let me measure and add these 3 bras to Bratabase
  For the longest time I thought I had large boobs. My 3 friends, Tara, Marguerite and Cathy have made me re-think what my definition of "large" was. These 3 friends of mine all let me measure their underwire bras so I could add them to Bratabase. So I showed them around the site and they watched me measure and photograph their bras and then add them to the database.
         I measured and photoed Tara's and Cathy's the same day. I was over at Cathy's house to measure her bras and mutual friend Tara stopped by and saw what we were doing and took off her Freya Deco so I could do it too. After I was done they were debating who had the biggest boobs.( It definitly wasn't me. ) Tara and Cathy are both plus sized girls and both have really large breasts. So here's tara at 38FF and Cathy at 44DDD and by just looking at them it was hard to tell who had the bigger boobs.With their bodies and heights being so different it was kind of like compairing apples and oranges. to settle this debate I happened to have a UK "sister size" chart with me. Included on the chart was breast volume in cubic centimeters for all the sister sizes of 28AA through 32JJ. As it turns out, Cathy has bigger boobs at 1810 cc's  and Tara at 1580 cc's. A difference of 30 cc's. Pretty close. I only have a volume of 1000 cc's. This means Tara's boobs are over 33% larger than mine. And Cathy's are over 75% larger!
         I measured Marguerite's on a different day.She had a piece of crap Fashion Bug bra.That's the bra she brought to my house to be measured. I did apriciate her bringing over the bra, I just wished it had been a "real" bra and not one made in T.J! This bra was a 42DDD which is a sister size of 38FF (Tara's Freya Deco) So, hopefully, one day I can get the 2 of them together and compair their boobs.

Bratabase

  I've been on Bratabase regularly for about a year now. I  discovered it about 2 years ago but  didn't understand what it was about . I first was on a bra site called Brayola which I got bored with and decided to try to figure out Bratabase. I am so glad I did too! I've learned a lot from the girls on Bratabase. Everyone is so helpful with answering bra-related questions. Either on their forum called "Bra -Adventures" or with "Fitting-help". you can get advise and ideas from very knowleadgeble "Bra experts. 
    Thanks Jj for creating Bratabase! :D

My 1st try at Bra Blogging

My old bra collection

Here's a picture of my bra collection a few months ago. M y collection consisted of mostly department store, 30$ to 40$ bras like Bali, Maiden Form,  Vanity Fair and Playtex. All underwires sizes 38 or 40 C's and 4, 40D bras shown on the right side of picture. 21 bras total in this picture.

 I bet you can tell I don't know what I'm doing and I'm no blogger!
This blog is just an experament and for my ammusement.I am definitly no bra expert like some of the girls from Bratabase. But I must say, in my defennce , I know more than most of my friends and all of my family and relatives!I didn't even know what "sister sizes" meant or what a "gore" was. Or if your bra was "tacking" was a good thing or a bad thing before I discovered
  http://www.bratabase.com/.  For this I am grateful!
Oh well, I guess I am done with my 1st attempt at becoming a real "Bra Blogger".
