Q

Went to get a bra yesterday at Pierre Cardin, only to face the indignity of being told they don’t come in my size – because i’m too small.

“Oh this brand seldom stocks anything smaller than B70… most places don’t.”

For most of my life I’ve worn bras slightly too large – or when I discovered online shopping – ordered them online (usually at a higher price). No, I refuse to buy from Young Hearts because i demand my right to sensible bras with underwire. What I don’t understand is

1) Why am I paying more for less material?
2) I’m pretty sure there are girls in Singapore with my cup size, so why the total lack of supply for it?

I’m an A70, because i’m an Asian and will not cease until i get all my As. Also it means i’m more susceptible to lower boob fats. The market exists, Singapore! Where are my fitting bras? I’m fully aware that my breasts are on the miniature end of the bell curve, but does that mean i’m not entitled to support like everyone else? They are tiny but they are here you know! The indignity.

On a more serious note though, there is the problem of girls buying misfitting bras and passing them off as okay. At an age where they’re still growing (and they grow all the way up to 21, for some), this can be stunted or misshapen growth.

When i first got my proper adult A70 bra, i never knew how much i’d been missing on. It was like a “OHHH so that’s what a bra’s supposed to feel like” moment. It doesn’t just provide the right support, but makes them bigger (i’m talking non pushed ups here) because they are built for your precious As.

Singapore needs to stop this tiny tit discrimination and step up with bras for everyone.
