ORIGINAL: SusanofO Interesting. I wonder about how true it is, though, overall (and I am not criticizing your comment, you are not responsible for how any journalist decides to research and report their news) But- different manufacturers do make clothings sized differently, and I wonder how extensively this was maybe taken into account in this study. In the USA, for instance, some of the women's clothing that is really "high-end" tend to purposely be sized smaller than what might be consider "the norm", because some manufacturers seem to think this kind of ego-flattering is warranted, and entices more females to buy their wares. Thus a size 10 at K-Mart, might be a size 6 at Neiman-Marcus, etc. for a dress or pants, for example. It's possible the same principle is in operation in the lingerie world (except in reverse), but I am not sure. In any case, it's kinda interesting anyway, IMO. - Susan I was thinking the exact same thing. And I think this is why VS is as popular as it is. Their cups are smaller than everyone else's so that women think they are a larger cup size than what they actually are. In other words, if you normally wear a B cup, VS's B cup is way small on you and now you wear a C cup. So, naturally women are going to buy the brand name that puts them at a size C instead of a B.
