Learn English – Is the plural “bosoms” an acceptable word? Or is it always “bosom”

I found recently that even an elderly educated woman was referring to her bosom in the plural, as her bosoms.

Please settle my discomfort finally, and clarify if this can be used as a plural word.

I thought it was just English deprived younger kids who used "Bosoms" in this manner. :-))

Under its entry for ‘bosom’, the OED has ‘pl. In recent use, a woman's breasts. colloq.’ with the earliest citation dated 1959. The OED would appear to have missed the references in Peter’s answer.
