No way. Intimissimi.
Ok, not going to make sweeping cultural generalizations but in my take as a first gen european-I will say at least my culture bras are not a huge Must must have many many-quality vs quanity and it's more about-well..making them UP and and how they are...not your cup size. not necessarily feeling the padding or well. VS came off as Bigger boobs too much to me. BUT not geared to women with honest BIGGER BOOBS. OR We wee woman with small rib cages and and either wee breasts or who have larger breasts by proportion to our bodies.

Basically, if you know your under bust measurement it's easy to find a bra that fits-because the band does the lift and hold. ( And don't get me started on the math of all bra companies-vanity sizing just like anything else)

Add that and the fact so many place sell you on bigger is better -just not for you for women like you I find them to have so many options-from my favorite simple but pretty triangle-to what I only recognize as not going to try that on Plus, living in Italy, I love that I could go in there, and in la perla and just think-Intimissimi can compete and hold its own. Why would I go anywhere else?

A definite plus is I do find their slips and tops (there are so many more in europe if you are planning a trip soon, at least their were) I haven't found that in other bra stores and believe me, I've been to every specialty store around and shelled out big bucks and considering they are not a lifetime investment. That stings.

Again what I like about them is they are about fit. I can finally find something sexy that fits-all or nothing with me. And (kid you not) I don't have to hear a 16 year old girl burst into tears in VS has told her eh, dd is not really something we carry you probably need a special store and she was slender-just chesty.

Plus the sizing is so simple- 1-5 find what fits -they have a chart in VS who retails/imports them now that shoes you the correlation. It can help in the beginning but just know that they are based on standardized (yep europe pretty much has standard measurements, or countries themselves do) so, it helps you but it's more of trial and error. How does it fit. Work on the band. Then get the cup.

Sorry this is long winded but I've found well...I've often had to explain WHY and then HOW...plus...women in my boat don't often get advice other than speciality shop or training bra. And we want sexy not little white. Or little white with hearts. Or, if we are some how tiny chest and just well. Short and tiny and capri pants go to our ankles and stiff breezes blow you off your feet? But some how your breasts just happen to be small but big compared to the rest of you? What the heck to do you do?
