British Chain Store Marks & Spencer is putting J-cup bras on sale for the first time as customers demand larger sizes. The chain is trialling the garments on the internet before deciding whether to put them in the shop. Its largest cup size was previously a G, but M&S said there was a demand for the new, bigger garments.
The story reminds me of when my wife took me and my credit card shopping one day. While I was waiting for Teri to try on some dresses I heard an assistant on the corsetry counter say to a customer "you need a mark F madam."
"And what is a Mark F?" the customer asked.
"Next size up from a marquee," the assistant said.

The ones that showed up in Canada all seemed to be about food and other clothes but I don't recall there being a 'corsetry' counter.
They have massively upped their game in the past couple of years - appealling to a wider female market than just those who relied on quality over style!
Have a look at their website: http://www.marksandspencer.com/gp/node/n/42966030?ie=UTF8&mnSBrand=core
Sometimes its just a case of moving the page along, know what I mean?
M&S Paris are very chic and fashionable, they have quite a good reputation in big cities like London, Manchester and Ishbel's home town Edinburgh, but in little industrial towns like Accrington they still specialise in that contraceptive of the poor, BIG KNICKERS.
Which gets us back to the marquee thing really.
While I'm certainly not near a J-cup, I definitely understand wanting to be able to find stuff in your size when you have to buy clothing - especially things like foundation garments, which are incredibly important to your overall look.
Its the wearer not the thong
