As a southern woman, I have a lot of respect for women who endure those hideous bras, panties and other “unmentionables.” I can reflect back on one writer’s entry on this website, with a certain degree of humor and disbelief as to what women will do to enhance their figures. I realize that not all women are created equal when it comes to their boobs, hips, and legs. All I pray for is the one bra that will come along that doesn’t cost me over forty dollars. While some ladies out there can get away with going to Wal- Mart or Target to shop for their lingerie.
I have to rely on a private boutique to get fitted and going to a small shop I get the right cup size, fit, and the personal attention I deserve. If you have the money to buy those expensive items, that’s great, unless you have to go with what’s on sale or on what’s on the marked down table. Now, mind you I get all my under things from Wal- Mart. It’s the bra that gives me trouble. Most women have to try a bra on and look in the mirror with a new bra on and think about how it feels, does it contour where I need it to? Do the straps cut into my shoulders? I have to take that all into consideration before laying down some money. Aren’t men lucky they don’t have this sort of problem, unless they are being fitted for a sports cup. Gee whiz, wouldn’t that be terrible for men to walk into a men’s shop and then ask to be “fitted” for a cup? Seems like years ago women were burning their bras in defiance of equal rights. There is nothing equal about being sized for what feels and looks right on a women and searching for these items is a 24-7 deal for women. Years ago, all women had was a Sears & Roebuck catalog to order lingerie from. Those cotton, whale-boned items could suffocate a women. It amazes me how these women were able to run a household, go to a job and even work in the field with one of those bras or corsets.
