The underwires on larger sizes use much more structural steel, which has risen in price because of Chinese manufacturing demand, which has caused increased recycling of old steel, which has caused even greater global warming, which has led women to worry, which has led to increased calorie consumption, which has led to larger sized boobs, which has led to increased sweating, which has led to shorter lifespans for undergarments, which has raised the demand by women for replacement garments at more reasonable prices...

It’s a vicious cycle. If only there were a government program to take this burden off the shoulders of women...

Underwire bra.. In the 1940s, Howard Hughes designed a type of underwired push-up bra for use by Jane Russell in The Outlaw. According to Russell, the "ridiculous" contraption was painful and she didn't use it for more than a few minutes. The invention is now in a museum in Hollywood.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underwire_bra Just trying to keep you people abreast of everything in the bra world..

If the bra doesn't fit, you must acquit.
