So, today I went to buy a new bra, as my favourite old one (3 years?) is getting pretty stretched out.
I go to La Senza. A logical place to start, as my current favourite bra is getting OLD. I try on a couple of 34C’s. My usual size. To my surprise, I overflowed! Wow! Have my breasts grown? I don’t think so…
I became suspicious.
I left the store.
I went to American Eagle’s “AERIE” underwear store. I’ve never tried on anything here before. I tried on a 34C and a 34D.
As I expected, the 34D was overly large, but the 34C was perfect. So I bought it.
Could La Senza be VANITY SIZING their bras? I think they might be.
did you know that bras are supposed to lasts only 3-4 months?
Typically, it’s the less expensive brands that run larger per size as compared to more expensive ones. Long story. In this case, LaSenza is owned by VS. ’nuff said.
I don’t think it prudent to dismiss out of hand that you may have increased in size. Unfortunately, for a fair comparison, you should have tried styles that were the same price points as the LS with caveats (http://www.fashion-incubator.com/mt/archives/push_manufacturing_bras.html). I would expect the less expensive brand to be larger and perhaps conceal your perchance augmentation.
