Just wanted to give you ladies a heads up - LB will be discontinuing their F, G, and H sizes in everything but the lace full coverage, I believe. LB employees correct me if I'm wrong, but it's definitely being discontinued in the balconette. at least, this is what I overheard a store manager telling a customer

The bra fitter said the same thing, and I said, "Have you made sure to mention this to Corporate?" And I went home and wrote a letter. I mentioned how nice she had been, how happy I was with the store, and how very badly I wanted to buy bras that fit me better. I'll write another one now that I hear of the bra line switch-over, and I'll certainly make a post about this over on bustingout and encourage them to write as well.
I need the opposite of bra extenders. :) I know they don't work for everyone, but they seem like they'd be way easier than trying to alter bras. Both have the problem that the resulting Frankenbra is tailored to a non-human shape-- straps too far apart or unevenly close together, band not properly tapered, etc.-- but a workaround is a workaround.
I used to, and still do actually, have a policy that I never buy a bra that doesn't at least plausibly fit at full price. This isn't out of frugality, it's about my desire to avoid supporting companies that don't acknowledge I exist. But of course, my lack of options means that I can only buy bras that don't fit. So I wait for sales. (Admittedly, it's also partly because I can't bear the thought of cutting up something I paid full price for. If I do it and bollix it up, at least I can console myself that it was on sale anyway.)
But the converse, of course, is that I need to point out what I'm doing to the manufacturers, if I want there to be any change.
