Nervous about the way clothes will fit

I generally wear a size 2 and I'm currently a large (if you can use that word) A / small B cup. I wear dresses a lot and I've noticed that the tops generally fit well. One of my concerns with having a BA is if I will have a problem "spilling out" of clothes that may fit everywhere else on my body. I'm going to be a "full C" after surgery (I hope). Has this been a problem for anyone whose had BA?

Hi Sky,

I wear a lot of dresses, too, and I admit I had to get rid of a few because they no longer fit after I had my BA.  They didn't fit or I was spilling out of them just a little *too* much lol.  I have considered investing in a few cleavage coverups, though.  Maybe you could, too?  http://www.cleavagecoverup.com/.  T-shirt wise, I went from wearing a medium to wearing a large (went from a large A to a small D -- 460cc implants).

I think that you'll learn what looks good on your body afterward, and it will most certainly be different than before...but it doesn't take long to figure it out.  And what better excuse to go shopping?  :smileywink:

I went from about that size to a large C, small D and didn't have to get rid of too many tops. I had worn a lot of padded bras, and then didn't after the BA, so I think that helped some.

Oh, and don't worry if initially they're too large for most your tops. It takes some days (maybe even weeks?) for all the swelling to go down.
