Dunnes Stores, Department Store

Dunnes has been called the biggest seller of lingerie in Ireland - but if you want to buy a bra with no padding, you will not find anything of interest in their Dublin shops. Yes, it seems that all women of all size and shapes apparently want padded bras according to the lingerie purchasing department at Dunnes, notwithstanding the fact that many (most?) women are not interested in making their breasts look larger (although more shapely might be a seller). On a recent shopping trip to buy a pretty standard bra size (34 C), I was shocked to find that the only bras on sale without padding in that or any size there-abouts were sports bras. Who is purchasing for this shop? If it is a woman (and I hope it is), she obviously has some issues re. real breasts, but why this should become part of a totally lop-sided sales strategy is beyond me. Most women have breasts, and they want to buy bras of all types - sport, day-to-day, sexy etc - that are made to wear on actual breasts. I recommend sacking the head of lingerie purchasing - and shopping elsewhere if you want a real bra.
