If the Bra Don't Fit, You Must Quit - The Brand

Splurge shopping might be a bit off limits these days given the state of the economy, but you still have to buy certain garments. Bras certainly qualify. Oddly, not all bra brands provided sizes for all women.

You realize one day that your comfortable bras are wearing out. You head over to the mall for a few hours to browse through the selections. You find a beautiful balcony bra. You find a great strapless number as well. There's only one problem - you can't find your size. You ask the clerk and find out that the brand doesn't even make bras in your size!

Surprisingly, this is a very common problem. For whatever reason, some brands just provide bras in a relatively small sizing range. Sometimes the limitation is in the band size. Other times, they'll limit the range of cup sizes available. It is maddening, particularly if you don't fit in the "average" range, to wit, if you have a plus size bra size.

Plus size bras tend to be a fairly specific niche for bra brands. To be honest, many well know brands simply don't produce plus size bras for us women with larger breasts. This can be incredibly frustrating when shopping, particularly when you find a bra you love. One way to avoid the problem is to stick to brands that definitely cater to the plus size figure. Such brands include Le Mystere, Goddess, Freya, Panache, Fantasie of England, Chantelle and, of course, Enell for sports bras. 

When it comes to bras, pricing comes a close second to fit when ranking the issues you have to consider. Oddly, plus size bras are generally priced the same as bras for "average" breast size women. One would think the niche would carry higher prices, but it simply isn't true these days.

I've always found it very odd that certain brands don't carry a full set of sizes. If you are going to go through the process of launching a brand and marketing it, an expensive affair by any measure, why would you limit your audience? To each their own, I guess. As far as you and I are concerned, try to find the best brands for your breast size and stick with them. Remember, if the bra don't fit, you must quit...the brand!
