Breast Development - the following represents comprehensive information concerning breast development. The stages of breast development can be classified using Tanner Stages, which is a sequential process that adolescents go through as they pass through puberty:
Tanner Stage 1 (ages 8-11) - the preadolescent breast consists of a small elevated nipple with no significant underlying breast tissue. The breast is just beginning to develop.
Tanner Stage 2 (ages 8-14) - Puberty begins usually between ages of 8 and 13, though the average age is 11, with the development of breast tissue and pubic hair. With the hormonal changes of puberty, breast buds form. This second stage of breast development is the breast bud stage. Here, there is elevation of the breast and nipple as a small mound; the areola begins to enlarge. Milk ducts inside the breast begin to grow.
Tanner Stage 3 (ages 9-15) - in stage 3, there is further enlargement and elevation of the breast and areola (with no separation of their contours) The areola begins to darken in color. The milk ducts give rise to milk glands that also begin to grow.
Tanner Stage 4 (ages 10-16) - next, there is projection of the areola and nipple to form a secondary mound.
Tanner Stage 5 (ages 12-19) - in the mature adult breast, (were the breast is fully developed) there is a projection of the nipple only; however, in some woman the areola continues to form a secondary mound.

Usually you're breasts will reach full development by the age of 23. HOWEVER, most womens breast size will vary their whole lives. Whether it's weight loss or gain, pregnancy, Increase or decrease in hormones. A lot of things can affect your breast size. Normally you should get fitted for a bra every year, however some studies have shown that you should get fitted every 6 months. It wasn't till I watched that oprah episode that said some 80% of women are wearing the wrong bra size. After that I went and got fitted and found out that I was infact wearing the wrong size. I always thought I was a B, but I was fitted in a C. Some women make the mistake of going up a cup size instead of a band size. Truth is when you go up a band size the cup size increases slightly - and that might be all you need. But I would suggest going to a fitter everytime you buy a bra. I was shocked to find out how much more comfortable I felt after finally figuring out what size I was. However, I know as I loose and gain weight I will most likely have to change my bra size again.

You don't.

I was a 34C for years, and then about 3 months ago I grew into a 34D over a period of about 3 weeks - just spontaniously. And I am 25.

Then if you get pregnant - you will grow again.

Plan on spending a fair amount of time in your life shopping for bras.
