Am I the only one that thinks in the 'measurement' section of a models profile that it should display cup size?? Granted a lot of models lie, but not all do. Models have to be comfortable with thier bodies, its part of the game. I'm proud to be naturally chesty. (32DD)
Does anyone agree with me??

Yes, as a general rule it would be helpful to have both the number and cup size, but with photos it is pretty easy to figure that out.

Well, for the purposes of full disclosure.. I guess I'm probably a B cup.. (LOL.. Mmmm, manboobs!).. j/k

Wow, a model from Modesto..  I grew up there and I never once thought of that place and photography.. Shows what I know..  Turlock, too, has more beautiful models here than I'd have ever imagined..

Still waiting for Turlock to represent.. wink

Sure - when the tog or client needs to provide wardrobe - makes things much easier.

Yes, I agree. It could be helpful then. Otherwise, I think the pictures do a pretty good job.

It should be posted here because you cant always tell from pictures. If the model has an OMP link though you can check it there. 36C.....wish I was just a teensy bit bigger.   sad

That's something I wondered about when I first filled out my profile, actually... it asks for "Chest" and "cup size". I'm a D-cup, but when I enter that, it lists me as 39D, when 39 is my bust measurement, not my bra band size.

I just went with straight measurements because it seemed confusing, but I can see where cup size would matter...

Yeah im a proud 36DD (no sagging ppl, trying to keep it that way)....and Ive had a couple of photographers say..."wow I didnt know your chest was that big, it didnt look like it from the images, we might have to find you another top" So I guess it would help to have the cup size up there, cause sometimes you cant tell!

you are all lucky ladies with your cup size, i'm weeny... when i read about women unhappy with their c- cup, i just think wow, what would you do if you were smaller? would u have a boob job? its something thats crossed my mind, but i wouldnt ever go for it! iv never really understood the hype surrounding big/small breasts, i think all are beautiful! .. but do agree it may useful to include a cup size so there are no hassles at shoots, although it can always be discussed beforehand!

It is easy to figure out by looking at the images, but it would be nice to simply be able to look at the stats and from there redirect to the images.

I've often thought while shopping through the catelogue that I wish I could see the cup size.  I would also like to see a quick reference to the models' comfort level on nudity (i.e., no nudity, artistic, whatever),  I think this could help some of the girls keep the creep factor a little lower.

"Wow, a model from Modesto..  I grew up there and I never once thought of that place and photography.. Shows what I know..  Turlock, too, has more beautiful models here than I'd have ever imagined.. "

That's funny.... I grew up there too. Camden Corners... I didn't get into photographing models until recent though.  I've always been a wildlife and landscape photog.
Back to the subject at hand though... It would be helpful for wardrobe issues. Claire Elizabeth, I think you look awsome just the way you are.  I generally prefer the smaller cup sizes personally.

Girl shirt shopping is hell to me, thats why I stick with shoes as my fetish, at least I know that they will look right on me, as opposed to shirts where even a large can be to small depending on how they are made, that pisses me off big time! sad

You could always put the official "36A" or "42H" in your profile bit. From AAs to JJs you're all perfect.

Hey us little boob people have the reverse problem! I find shirts that look hot and then I don't fill them out properly! I suppose at least I can get a bra that helps a bit.

I'm a (mostly) happy 32mostlyA. I love my boobs, the fashion industry just doesn't!!

I agree it should say cup size too. I look smaller in some photos then what I am so you can't always tell just by looking at a photo.

The way i see it A and B cups are the 2 most perfect sizes any thing bigger will hang well maybe not a small C.So for you woman who fall into A,B and small C cup thank your lucky stars
and thats just one guys opinion
ps ,yes cup size should be used

Too right! 

I tend to look more at waist, hip, weight and height measurements if I don't have a figure photo.

But measurements are used by designers selecting models to display their clothes.

If you're going out to buy clothes for your model, I would assume that means you've been in contact with them to agree to the shoot.  Can't you just ask them then?

I recently photographed a 32A, 5' 10" model both nude and clothed.  She was a great model and I got some great photos!!  I don't think breast size is that important if you have a good model and she loves modeling.  We had a great time shooting!!

Yeah I would imagine how that would get on your nerves as well, but like you said you all have a bra that can fix that, us we just have to live with it or hope that they invent a deflattable bra one day....hey *lightbulb just went on* maybe I can invent that, any takers on my idea...would you buy one!
