It’s a sad fact, but breasts aren’t exactly symmetrical. Most of us have nearly matching pairs, but some women have two completely different cup sizes, forcing them to wear a bra to fit the larger breast and accommodate for the smaller breast with padding or a prosthetic.

Why for the love of all that’s holy do designers continue to make only the most heinous of options for plus sized women?
