Bra - Burgundy Lace With Lime Fabric Underneath
MOT/2024/NDOTC/PLYM/001

Breast Forms
MOT/2024/NDOTC/CARD/007
Tag These prosthetic breasts were given to me by another trans femme older than me, She didn't need them anymore as HRT had worked its wonders. They weren't a perfect colour match so I used some loose baking powder to adjust the shade. Now HRT has worked its wonders on me! Me and the other trans femme are no longer friends but they still hold a special place to me – Shah baaz
