High Street favourite Marks and Spencer has bowed to pressure from bigger busted customers to sell larger bras at the same price as smaller ones.

I don’t see why. They take more physical material. I actually would see why they’d charge more for something that used more fabric (and maybe needs more reinforcement).
It's discrimination doncha know?
High fashion; when you’re paying for the label what difference does the amount of physical material make?
Look all I know is that many clothes companies have different prices for average sizes and a little bit more for XXL and higher. I at least can understand why one might make such an argument for a little increase in price for larger garments.

I imagine 10,950 were men hoping to see pictures of the female members.
If you need MORE material then why would you charge LESS?
Size matters when it comes to constructing a LARGE one. It’s CHEAPER to make smaller ones.
What’s with people?
Are BIG men going to demand the cheaper prices for their underwear?
I hope not,i would not be able to afford them..
Because money is also poured into research of design and more lace/style type stuff is used in smaller chested designs.
Larger bras are about support mostly.
Costs are way too high. I’d like to see bras at least half off.
Riiggghhhttt because all that goes into a high end bra is material.
This ain’t your Granny’s bra company.
“Responding to public pressure.......?”
What are the bra manufacturers afraid of?
That busty protesters are threatening to boob-slap them to death?
;^)
Well I'm sure they didn't want to see male members.
Not only are those fake but they’re not the biggest.
It's actually usually more expensive to manufacture smaller than larger because of the higher difficulty of getting smaller features correct. The material cost difference is most likely negligible.
The most likely reason for any price difference is that there is less volume for outlying sizes, and therefore inventory and manufacturing retooling costs are what push the dollar amount up.
"I’d like to see bras at least half off."
Buy one cup only.
Bras half off or half on are unsightly ;)
What I see them doing is upping the price on small sized bras.
I only came here for the pictures.
Until I saw your post of Nancy Pelosi.
Ewwwwwwwwwwwww!
