Angry about stocking and size choice...

So every time I go to buy a bra, it's out of stock in my size (38K). But there are always lots of 30DDs hanging around season after season. This makes sense to me. 1. Many people who fit in smaller band/smaller cup sizes don't get bravangelized because they can buy bras at the mall which approximately fit. Or they think they fit. But there are literally no places where I can just go buy a bra with cups that fit even if I buy three band sizes up. 2. There are many many more bra choices in smaller cup sizes. More brands, more styles, more models.

So then why oh why don't companies produce/stock more bras in large band large cup sizes? Literally my size will be sold out the day after it comes out. It's really frustrating to me because I only want to give companies my money and they won't let me.

Also, this is why bra companies fail. They don't manufacture the right number of the most needed bras. Lookin at you, Sculptresse, with your max HH cup size now. How long will you exist as a subbrand?

  • That's odd. No store in malls here (BC Canada) go below a 32 band. If you want below a 32 or above a 36 or higher than a D or DD you need to go to a specialty store. And most of those only care a couple 30 bands.

  • I agree that such things are absolutely an issue. Though I've always felt sad because I've never seen a store with bras my size. I'm not sure I believe a store with small band, large cup exists. Whereas there are stores like Lane Bryant and Torrid that do cater to the large band, large cup market. And absolutely, most stores don't go far enough in band or cup, and that's a problem. But I'm jealous that there are stores that cater to that market more than there are stores that cater to someone like me.
