Asked By:Twin_Peaks in Perth, Western Australia, Australia
Hi I'm due for BA (only - no lift) in early September & am again researching. I'm a little worried about where my breasts are going to sit & how far apart they're going to look afterward. As you can see, I'm much wider set than most. I fill a B to a C cup at times & my nipple are also very far apart.
