To sign "breasts," form your dominant hand into a "10" handshape, which is a closed fist with the thumb extended straight up. Bring your hand to your chest and gently tap the tip or side of your thumb against one side of your chest. Then, move your hand across and tap the other side. Right-handed signers typically tap the left side first, followed by the right.
