Bigger Bills For Bigger Bras At M&S
SAYS Beckie Williams, founder of Bust 4 Justice, on Radio Five Live: “That’s fair enough. But they don’t apply the same policy to other clothes that use more material and more resources to make as well.
“I just think it should be one policy for all items of clothing.”
Ms Williams beef is with Mark and Spencer which charges more for some of its bras that are DD cup or larger.
Williams calls it “an unfair tax”. Says she: “This is not something that we have chosen… If you don’t charge a size 20 woman more for a pair of trousers, then why should you pay more for an E cup bra?”
This appears to be an oversight on the part of retailers who will most probably respond to Williams’ campaign by upping the cost of clothing in larger sizes.

Hey June - just string together a couple of netto carrier bags !!! m & s is over rated anyway - my mother is 87 and wouldnt dream of getting her under garments from anywhere other than M & S - that is until I introduced her to Ethel Austin and Primark - she’s got kickers by the barrow load now that she has found an affordable supply
*******************
Annie, my mother shall be 87 in a few days, think she has given up on support, and just gets her knickers any where, and lets it all hang down otherwise.
I do like the M&S balcony bras…..

I like M & S bras but seldom find DD or E sizes available in sizes 42 or above. Please M & S if viewing this site, bear this in mind.
