    Thing is, because my chest itself is so big, I can't actually BUY proper bras, I have to make do with sports bras....because as we know, the universe hates me!

    I'm thinking I might have to learn to sew because realistically even if I DO manage to get some decent growth I'm not getting it any time soon!

    I imagine the sewing would be useful for FtM too, since we have issues with shirt sleeves being too huge for our thin arms xD

    Funny thing about that. When I dress, I wear D-cup forms. Last winter I installed a closet kit with bars and drawers in my closet. I dressed most of the time that I was working on it. As it was a long narrow space, it seemed that my boobs were always bumping into something. Odd sensation...

    To be fair, I have that issue with a lot of guys shirts. With the exception of my Liverpool hone shirt, I recommend it. :3

    I studied textiles and you know if I could be bothered and it was something I actually wanted to do, I would learn how to tailor so I could set up designing, making clothes for trans men and women. As it stands, I have no interest in sewing whatsoever but there is a gap in the market. Shoes are another issue. I see men's shoes that I want to wear but they're too big for me. Boys shoes just don't have the same 'adult' quality.

    Actually, if a woman's boobs look way to big to me, something doesn't resonate right with me, and I get these weird feelings of it not being a real person in front of me.

    Don't have to be FtM to have that problem with guys shirts. When I wear long sleve shirts, I've usually got 2 issues with the sleeves - they're too flappy near the top when the torso and neck fit right, and it's hard to find the longer length sleeves to look right. I've got a couple noodles for arms.
     
  8. I wouldn't be worried about your boobs. You don't need boobs to pass. I have almost a completely flat chest (AA) and even on my guy days I sometimes I don't pass. I think passing has more to do with makeup/hair and overall how you carry yourself. And a clothing tip: When I wear really low cut tops, I wear a camisole/undershirt that way my bra doesn't hand out.

    Do you think? Because honestly I'm 6'3" tall and I'm not skinny at all, and to be honest I've never seen a girl even close to my size with a flat chest...

    Thing is passing doesn't bother me too much, I'm pretty sure I'll never pass 100% it's just that I don't want NOTHING...I want to at least come close to fitting clothes properly...
