Dear People Who Design Fat Girls' Bras:
First off, let me congratulate on your attempt to bring some style and pizazz to an otherwise boring piece of clothing. Your effort to add colour, lace and tiny crystals does not go unnoticed. That being said, there are some other MAJOR flaws that need to be brought to your attention.
Let's begin with the strap issue. I'm not sure if your company is running a program that allows people with intellectual disabilities the chance to participate in the work force, but that's the only explanation I can come up with as to why your straps are created so ridiculously thin. Honestly? How do you expect me to go about my daily routine without worrying that these straps are going to snap like an elastic band, resulting in my ladies making a rapid descent towards the floor? Just let me know where I can send the chiropractor's bill, due to the whiplash I am sure to receive in a situation like that. These puppies aren't the lightest in the litter, you know.
Secondly...what is up with making push-up bras for fat girls? Much like the straps, this too can be seen as a health hazard. If I look down, I suffocate. Enough said.
Three - why on earth would you EVER create a bra without an underwire? Say it with me - sup...port. Yes, there are smaller chested fat girls who can get away without an underwire, but when your production line reaches those bras that have a number 4 or a triple letter anywhere in its design, it's high time hit the "Stop" button. The bigger the bra, the more support that is required. Start using your head. (that's the lump three feet above your ass).
Sincerely,
Proud Of Being Big But Not Proud Enough To Reveal Her Bra Size Publicly :-)
AMEN to all of that! Can I add to that? The fact that sizing is absolutely ludicrous in its own right. I mean seriously.
ReplyDeleteJust before I got married I was professionally fitted in the hopes of finding a better bra than my every day one, which at the time was the biggest La Senza sold (keep in mind I was substantially smaller having just lost a fair bit of weight) which I believe at the time was a DD. When I went into the said fancy SCHMANCY store she was all, "You are a Triple E or Double F."
I do not appreciate that the second you walk into most of those specialty stores whether bigger or smaller, they inevitably fit you in a letter above and beyond the typical letters and I believe it's just so that they can rake you over the coals financially.
I'm no Double D these days, but back then it was like an excuse to get me to pay more for a bra just because it didn't start with an A,B,C or D. E= Expensive F= F'ing Expensive. Hell, Pat Sajak and Vanna White don't even charge that much for an E.
And I'm done my vent, thankyouverymuch :)
LMAO! I think we're preaching to the choirs on this one!
ReplyDeleteYou completely left out the tendency of these idiots to create shelf boobs. They look all pretty but you put them on and the tops of your boobs jut out so straight you put a level on them. Hello!! I don't want to stab out my child's eye when I give them a hug.
ReplyDeleteDDD girl: my apologies at forgetting such a critical faux pas of the bra designers :) I will include this plight in my next letter to them :)
