**How far out of the house are you willing to go sans bra?**  
I’ll go most places without a bra. Now that I’m working and have to impress superiors with my professionalism/form a raport with patients/give a damn what anyone thinks about my bralessness I usually wear a bra to work. If I’m wearing layers or a thick sweater I’ll sometimes skip the bra at work.

**What size do you wear?**  
Something like a 34C or 36B.

**What standard of dress do you normally hold to?**  
At work I wear slacks or a skirt and nice sweater or blouse. Other than that I’m usually in jeans and a t-shirt or sweater although I do sometimes dress up just because I feel like it.

**How far out of the house are you willing to go sans bra?** Hell, I’ll barely leave my room without a bra. I might venture to the front step (but still inside the house) to call the cat.

**What size do you wear?** 42DDD

**What standard of dress do you normally hold to?** I pretty much live in jeans. I generally wear cute but not overly dressy shirts, or just t-shirts if it’s the weekend and I’m feeling lazy.

I think someone, somewhere, is compiling a database of Doper wimmins’ breast size… 😃
