It must be awful across the spectrum. I'm at the other end - most stores don't carry anything near my size. Even the specialty boutiques (which I hate shopping at) might have something for me... in like, one, two, or if I'm lucky, three colors.

I've completely given up on US sizing and buying in stores. I measure myself to get my UK or European size, and order online.

... Which sucks in its own way, because who wants to have to return things through the mail? I'm pretty much stuck with whatever I can get, and I keep using it until the fabric wears and the underwire starts scratching me to the point of drawing blood. Because each bra costs like $60, and I don't have the kind of money to casually drop just for one piece of underwear. Yay, womanhood.
