Shaker SapphireCate just sent me the link to this BBC article about big-busted women taking on Marks & Sparks' policy of charging more for bras sized over a DD cup. And the funny thing is that my first response was: "Only £2 more?! And only over a DD?! Lucky gals."
Coincidentally, when SCate sent the link, I was actually looking for a new bra online, and the prices are OUTRAGEOUS. All my bras are like eleventy-thousand years old, and they're falling apart at the seams, but I just can't face that I need to spend like $30 on a bra just because I'm a freaking DD cup. And, more importantly, have a band wider than 40".
I know they use more material, but come on! Argh.
Just another reason, among many, that I'm really glad I don't have to wear a bra most of the time.
(And no disrespect to, or criticism of, women who either have to wear a bra or like wearing them. I'm just stating my personal preference and no implicit commentary is intended.)
