Anyone can be it just requires dieting and exercise

lose weight and get a breast reduction to a C cup. No need to get rid of all your assets

These women are all considered beautiful and sexy.

Flat-chested girls get teased and harassed for it, just like girls who develop early and have large chests do. They struggle with buying clothes and with things fitting as they are "supposed" to. They are often told that their bodies are incorrect or not sufficiently feminine. You'd just be trading one extreme for another.

If your problem is having a hard-to-fit body or only being able to wear a narrow range of clothing, you should envy women with B and C cups and a classic bust-waist-hip ratio. Also being average to slightly above average height (5'4" to 5'6") means it is easy to buy pants and that skirts/dresses will hit you at the intended point.

NP. I wish I was flat chested and have every day since I was 13.

Then cut 'em off. What's stopping you?

That's the trade off. Flat chested women get ignored or even made fun of when they are young. But their bodies look more youthful and better in clothes at middle age.

You probably didn't mind this dynamic when you were 22.

34b and I was definitely not ignored.

Have you all seen the Americans? Keri Russell is arguably a very attractive woman and she is a very small a cup.

34b is not flat chested

34b are baby b00bies…

Yep, and still nice and perky as a late 30s mom. How are you enjoying your floppy flapjacks?

Ask your husband. He loves my large naturals that still sit just right!

I felt bad when I was overweight and my breasts were giant — like size G. I have lost weight and wear a 4/6 and 34D. I’m happy bc this is how my body should look. Really thin & flat-chested is a look that some people have naturally and it looks good on them. It wouldn’t look right on me so I aspire to the right proportions for my frame.

Trying to achieve your body type from age 13 is not a good goal

Cool story bro. Thanks for giving your expert opinion again on Fashion and Beauty forum

Acceptance your body for what it is and simply letting go of the idea that it should (or could) be different can be extremely liberating. I guarantee you there are clothes that will look great on your body but terrible on a skinny, flat-chested woman.

You will never be skinny and flat-chested. You just won't. Let it go. That body type is not inherently better than yours.

No reason this is true. I am happily skinny and flat chested. I have known no other way.

Another happy skinny flat chested woman here. I’ve appreciated what I have.

OP every body type has beauty icons. It’s important to embrace the type you are and play it up.

I realized a long time ago I was an Audrey not a Marilyn. I could have let that drive me crazy but why make yourself unhappy?

Mine were still saggy as a 34B after kids. I hated it. Had a boob job. Now I have nice full C cups. Large enough to balance out my frame while still looking natural and tasteful.

NP but I’ve considered this and it’s a really big deal. Surgery requires 6 weeks or more without driving and really strict restrictions on what you can hold or carry in your hand for longer than that. Plus you have to avoid a lot of activity and wear a special bra for long after that. For someone with an active life, a career from which leave is challenging, or a family life/commute that involves driving or travel, it can be almost impossible to schedule, especially if you are also trying to work around insurance deductibles. I’ve tried and have yet to find a time of year when work is sufficiently quiet and we have driving childcare and no major events on the horizon like a family wedding or a trip that involves swimming or whatever.

That’s also not considering the medical hoops you have to jump through. You could pay out of pocket, but it’s wildly expensive. To get insurance approval often requires multiple months of tracked attempts and success at weight loss (even if you’re at a normal weight) to “prove” that you can’t decrease your breast size naturally.

The word “tasteful” is what comes up again and again when us larger chested women are in these conversations. Flat chested or average women want us to shut up and be grateful, while ignoring the reality that society assigns a lot of shaming and prejudice to people’s natural bodies. My DDD breasts are just what genetics gave me, but I know all too well that an A or B cup is considered tasteful, natural and elegant and my chest is trashy, sloppy, unnatural, etc.

I have felt this way sometimes. I think it harks back to fashions in the 90s that I never ever felt like I could pull off. Cute tees. A “cute tee” on me was sexy at age 15. Sad or happy about that I don’t know.

I just wish I could to participate a little. But I recognize it was catalogs and stores feeding this to me.

Agree. I was the pp talking about 90s fashion.

I still feel this way. Like what I was given naturally is TOO much for everybody. But it’s my body. As though small breasts don’t call attention directly or get in anybody’s way. They fit any top or dress. They fit any swimsuit.

I could see getting a reduction for myself to aid my posture, though.

I’m sorry, no one should make you feel that way about your breasts. They’re gross, not you.

+1
I always wanted to wear those cute little baby tees with lettuce edges but my chest turned them into basically bra tops. It stung to see 90s fashion come back- the Delia’s catalog broke my 90s heart and if I were young now, reformation dresses would have done it this time around.
