if I'd known I'd have stocked up

[resonant]

Went bra shopping for the first time in, mm, maybe six years? And in the intervening time, it appears that underwires have become vastly less fashionable and now everybody's all about the wirefree? If I'm going to wear an entirely new *type* of bra, I'm going to have to actually try them on, oh woe and bitter wormwoods. And my old type (unlined, cotton) are available, but only in black, white, and "flesh."

My Bra Style Is Discontinued is a more precise age description than Late Middle Age.

Trying to find an underwire or any bra that fits is a nightmare. It's like a conspiracy.

I dread when the ones I have finally give up the ghost.

Lol at the final paragraph! I have to admit that I haven't worn underwires since, er... 1996. But back then as a big person with large assets I had to source them from a small alternative company and now they're everywhere!

I, too, have large assets which make it difficult to find a bra with a big enough cup size. I've tried wearing bras without underwires and they're always very uncomfortable because of the pull on the shoulders.

I'm now buying my old style in my new size on eBay, but there's a limit to how long that will work.
