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.

I've developed a theory that on average we're all getting fatter, and so companies would rather sell a sports-bra-type fit than spend the money on precise engineering at larger sizes.
