It is impossible to find good bras in Canada that cost less than 80$. Sometimes in the states I can find a bra at Victoria Secret that is my size, but the quality is pretty crap there. Undergarments are no doubt the most important part of any outfit as soon as you are a C, which, I think I surpassed sometime in 6th grade. So I will spend whatever it costs, because if I don't I will end up looking like an obese midget. ( and for those girls who are reading this with big breasts and who have never spent more then 30$ on a bra, 80% chance that you are wearing the wrong size, go get fitted now. RUN. Life-changing event, I swear. )
Usually, I buy my bras from small boutiques in Toronto and always French labels because the French are one of the only countries in the world that manufacture quality, cute bras for the well-endowed.
Such as this Chantelle bra. It comes in my size. Do you know how rare that is? Read the ode to it here
The bigger size you are, the higher the price.
WTFFFFFFFF.
I asked my teachers about this and they acted like this size discrimination was completely normal. "eeeef you want French-made garments zen you muzt pay for ze extra material".
How much extra material could possibly be in a bra? 3 more inches? Is 3 more inches worth a 5 euro price differential?
So I could either buy cheap Chinese-made bras which will be me look the aforesaid obese midget, or I can suck it up and pay an extra five euros for my breasts to be properly supported and adorned in beautiful French lace.
My breasts have made me suffer quite enough thank you very much and I don't appreciate being asked to fork over 5 euros more than my lucky friends who have been blessed with appropriate sized chests.
Isn't enough that I can't wear button up shirts, double-breasted coats, am hit on regularly by middle-aged men, am never taken seriously in the philosophy department and NOW they want me to pay an extra 5 euros?
That is absolutely ridiculous. Do larger sizes of clothing get charged more? And band size and cup size make major differences so is the price increase by cup or by band or by both? If you go anywhere in UK again, go to a nice department store. They have every size from A to J and every band size as well. The prices are still incredibly reasonable compared to Canadian places and they do not change depending on size there, and most carry Chantelle and Freya.

yes..apparently if it is French made larger sized clothes cost more!! Yes I lOVE the UK bra dept. I always stock up when I'm there.
ReplyDeleteWhy shouldn't you pay more? You pay more for adults clothes (usually) compared to kids clothes, You pay more for bigger cars, houses, bigger anything really. Yes I know it's not your 'fault' you were blessed with big bosoms but that's life.
