When I saw the number of 34F bras in M&S I quite literally felt like crying. I really like nice underwear, and buying it here is a nightmare. Even Holt Renfrew don't stock 34F.

If I were at all entrepeneurial, I would open a lingerie store tomorrow!

The US site has sizes from 28F to 56FF :scared:

I feel your pain. I'm a 32E (can't believe I'm posting that on the internet) and bras are few and far between. When they are available they are outrageously expensive. There are a few shops in central Toronto you could try - one is called "Secrets from your Sister." There are also a couple in Bloor West Village between Jane and Runnymede with a very good selection, and they will order in if what you find in-store is not in your size. There is a large Polish and Ukrainian community there and apparently a lot of them have the same challenge in finding Barbie-size bras.

Oh please do come for a beer. Current idea is Monday the 6th at the Bedford Ballroom, that's near the Bata Shoe Museum. (Not that I got around to telling Souvenir the location).

Yes, that one. The museum's a bit west of there on the south side.
