Breast shapes!

Hey guys, it's been awhile!

I am working on a survey for my statistics class (more on that later...) and am trying to identify common breast shapes. There are the obvious fullness, projection, width, height, and height-set, and then I have written "pendulous" and "omega" as options. What are other common shapes?

  • I thought of this a lot in September 2009 and I came up with the list that's been here since http://www.bratabase.com/help/shapes/#Canonical-breast-shapes

    The more time passes, it is really anything you want as long as people agree with you. Boobs vary a _lot_ and there will always be room for inifinite discussion. combinations of shapes and shapes behaving different on different breast sizes, "shapes" that are too linked with size more than shape ...

    The conceptual problem for me was that it is easy for our brains to want to classify in buckets, but boobs don't quite like that so the difficulty will be to decide where to put each boob.

    Another difficulty (this is more bra related) is to also classify non boob aspects that affect bra fit. Torso shape, shoulders, belly, etc.

    My last attempt has been to throw away labels for boobs and just let them be the shape they want without me worrying about what to call each. That's the whole idea behind the new breast gallery.
