I really want to know what it will take for some of these manufacturers to start making smaller band sizes! As I have mentioned on my blog, I need a 24(!) and it feels like they will never listen.
Hi Darlene –
Here's 2 questions for Fantasie – (or perhaps you already know the answer?):
What's up with listing the US cup size the same as the UK cup size on their recent labels? I find this VERY confusing!
Why does their 4500 smoothing bra in 32 band size push the breasts so far out to the sides? They don't call it a minimizer – but yet it is made as if it is one.
(Is that too snarky?)
Please keep your eye out for bra size underwire swimwear–One pieces that are appropriate for a modern mom of two to wear to the town pool or complex pool without looking like a porn star-not all of us want to flaunt the "girls" like Sophia V.
Thanks-
