Not that exciting to have expanded sizes for V.S.

Hmm, I saw this post on ABTF. 

To each their own, but the quality just isn't there for V.S. (for the prices). I'm talking about this bra, the wear everywhere push-up bra. 


Just from the front, it does not look comfortable on this woman; are they using the very thinnest straps possible? In a larger cup size, those are going to hurt her shoulders.  (Also, they have her wearing 32B, she looks more like 28FF/G UK.) Then the back is the absolute cheapest way to construct a bra, with the thin straps and the square back; it might be okay in the smaller cup sizes, but it's not comfortable to have back construction like that (again, unless you don't need that much support). Plus, it's not good for narrow shoulders.

I would prefer a back like the above picture; it's more material, more sewing, and more difficult to construct but it has added comfort and tucks away back fat better, creating a smoother look under clothing. This is the way many Polish full-bust brands construct their bras (e.g., Comexim, Ewa Michalak, and others) Win/win, it's soooo much better than the straight across, square back with thin straps - unless one has self-supporting breasts and a small cup size, I wouldn't recommend the V.S. square back construction. 

Side note: I should do a project where I compare these Ali Express bras to Victoria's Secret: both brands are made in China with similar designs (a.k.a molded cups). 

I digress, the regular price on the V.S. bra -in band 30+ - is $36.95 usd, wayyy too much for the below bra.
