chestier
Fuller in front
Chestier is the comparative form of chesty, meaning having a more prominent chest or bosom: She looked chestier in that sweater.
It can also describe someone more puffed up with self-importance or pride—chest out, strutting: He got chestier after the promotion.
Of coughs or colds, chestier means more congested in the lungs.
