Interesting Article
This made me chuckle a bit last night when I read it:

Farther in the article, they talk about the Savage Fenty lingerie line, and how, after hearing complaints of lack of sizes, (the line only goes up to 44DD I guess) they "expanded" the line to include 44DDD. I just shook my head. WOW, one whole size bigger. *sarcasm
Granted, I don't know a lot about that line of lingerie at all, since chances are, none of the bras would ever fit me anyways! So correct me if I'm wrong, but it just seems like more of the same Americanized, wrongly-sized bra stuff.
Anyways, it just made me roll my eyes, and not-so-fondly reminisce about my younger years of shopping at Victoria's Secret.

It is the same Americanized stuff. It's just that Rihanna is using models that don't all look like supermodels, so she's being labeled as inclusive. Wish that they would include more actual band/cup sizes as well as using different kinds of models.
I used to spend so much money on VS (and when you add in shipping to me and customs I always had to pay for VS packages for some reason) it was a reeeeally expensive habit.
I remember buying a 34DD (cos their calculator gave me that) and it being SOOOOOO small I contacted their customer service and they suggested I go for 36D cause it's larger! This was some years ago (I don't dare say how many, let's just say early twenties), but to this day I feel so cheated.
The funny part is I now weigh about 15kg more and I'm hovering between a 30 and 32 band, so back then I must have been like a 26 cause I was extremely skinny, but somehow got a 34 from their calculator (which I thought was perfection in every way possible).
Anyways, maybe unrelated. The article is very interesting and I think it's about time clothing/lingerie industries stopped discriminating and if they won't, kids these days aren't as gullible as we used to be years ago to buy into their fantasies. I don't appreciate the word millennials but I do think this generation is changing the world for the better.
