At my first library job, I worked with a woman named Sheila Brownstein, who was The Reader's Advisor. She was a short, bosomy Englishwoman who accosted people at the shelves and asked if they wanted advice on what to read, and if the answer was yes, she asked what writers they already loved and then suggested somebody new.

Be cautious using 'bosomy' as it can be viewed as objectifying, especially in professional or formal contexts.

Cultural Sensitivity

'Bosomy' often implies the speaker finds the large bust attractive; perceptions of beauty differ.

Subjective Attractiveness

'Bosomy' can sound old-fashioned, so modern usage is less common except in certain genres like romance novels.
