Does it cost more to buy larger sizes? Economically speaking, I would assume more fabric would equal more money.

Please discuss.

    Not that I've ever noticed.

    But I get your theory...it always infuriates me that kids clothes cost so much...they're so much tinier! lol

    Sometimes, depends on the brand and stuff. I'm nursing right now, and I actually just go and buy regular non-nursing bras that I like and then alter them myself into nursing bras. The nursing ones are even more expensive.

    **Edit: I used to work at VS, and some of the larger sized bras were like $2 more than the smaller sizes.

    Yes, if you're going over 36-38 inches. Also depends on the brand, style, etc...

    I buy my bras at Lane Bryant.

    I bet you can use my Cup as a pillow.


    Wanna find out?

    I just went to VS and chose a bra in my size and one that was a 40DDD and they were the same price. I have never noticed it but I would imagine if you had to special order it may increase the price.

    From my experience, it's more the fact that you have to actually get a nice quality bra and those end up costing more. You can't just go out and buy a cheap easy bra, it's much more of a process than that. Also not as many stores carry the size you may need so it's more of a specialty item so they usually cost more.

    I think it's availability that's the biggest issue. If I could wear a 40 DD I could pick it up at a Walmart for $20. Make the cup size a J in the US or a GG in the UK and my bras end up between $81 and $160.

    Yup. I wouldn't say it's a bust size issue, as mentioned earlier. My bust is 37 inches; I can get a poor fitting 34DD at Target for $10, or the nicer Panache 32E for $50. If I want my more accurate size, I can only find it at Nordstrom, for example.

    Yes, a lot more. I can't go to sears or some random department store to get my size. It SUCKS.


    ALSO, good way to get the hotties out with the big boobies. Kudos to you sweetness!

    I'm a 36DD/34DD (depending on the day) and mine aren't more expensive. But I think when you get into the really huge sizes that you can't find in regular stores, you're going to pay a lot more.

    It most definitely does. Thankfully the selection has come a long way over the years. :laugh:

    Yes. And you can't even shop in stores, but instead have to go online and buy six or seven and then send 5 back all the time. :frown:

    I go to nordstrom! Small band size + big cup size= pain in the *kitten* to find!
