Marks & Spencer has admitted to making a mistake by charging extra for bras with a DD cup or larger.
The retailer had been the target of a campaign from Facebook group Busts 4 Justice, which orchestrated a protest against the "tit tax".
Marks & Spencer said: "We boobed. It's true our fantastic quality larger bras cost more money to make, and we felt it was right to reflect this in the prices we charged.
"Well, we were wrong, so as of Saturday May 9, the storm in a D cup is over! We will reduce the price of our larger bras by up to £2."
The protest group said: "We are really happy to say that, thanks to the members of Busts 4 Justice, M&S have decided to abolish the tit-tax, and from now on will be operating a one-price-fits-all policy across their ranges."

If that be the case, women should give up wearing bras in protest.

Does this mean that Big & Tall sizes will now have to be priced the same as S, M & L?
What about children’s sizes? Should they be priced the same as adult sizes?
Just curious.

Children’s clothes costs more than adult clothes in most cases.
