I'm usually not one for oversharing. However, providing more personal information than is typically necessary is required for this particular post. That said...I am a flat-chested woman. Like, 36A flat-chested. I'm pretty sure I've worn the same bra size since the 6th grade (the first time my mother took me bra shopping, more or less because of my age, not my need for support).
And, frankly, I don't mind being flat-chested. Really. I can run miles without a sports bra. (I've actually run in a camisole with a built-in shelf bra more than once.) I can comfortably sleep on my stomach. It is impossible for me to look "suggestive" in a low-cut dress or top.
My problem is that Western society has an issue with my bra size. Need proof? The plethora of A-cup bras with padding and underwire which, to my knowledge, is completely inessential for small breasts.
Alternatives had eluded me. Until today.
Originally, this post was going to be a plea for help. I'd planned on asking you lovely readers for suggestions on where I could find the aforementioned unpadded, wireless bra. And then I found one! And it's pretty to boot!
Its maker, Victoria's Secret, describes this particular bra (one that I've yet to see in its expansive catalogs) thusly: "Introducing a new fit for Victoria's Secret. A smaller shape for less coverage and a lighter design for a fabulous feel."
Have a look here.
I found this bra after searching for the wireless one I'd already purchased from VS.
I'm very excited! I like my breasts as they are. And I don't like being guilty of false advertising, if you know what I mean.
Looks like my dilemma might be over!
