They have been a stalwart of the underwear industry for many years, but now Marks & Spencer are in trouble over their decision to charge more for bigger bras.

And a host of larger breasted ladies are ready to make their feelings known at this year's AGM.

The 'Busts 4 Justice' campaign, set up on Facebook, began when M&S announced that an extra £2 would be added to the price of DD-cup and larger bras. Thousands of women quickly added their support and now the group have bought shares allowing them access to the annual general meeting.

A leaked M&S email termed the decision the 'big boob surcharge' and, while talks have been held, Busts 4 Justice have failed to achieve the result that they want from the chain.

Co-founder Beckie Williams told the Daily Mail: 'We are very disappointed with their decision. They haven't listened to us as customers, so now maybe they'll have to listen to us as shareholders.

'Marks & Spencer is Britain's biggest lingerie seller so we want them to change their pricing for all the women affected. I still don't think they can justify this charge since many of their rivals charge the same price regardless of size.'

An M&S spokesman commented: 'We design the collections to provide as much support and comfort as possible. This includes special design features such as wider straps, greater support in the cup and additional material around the back area to ensure the delicate breast tissue is properly supported and protected.

'Customers have told us they are happy to pay a small premium for the specialist work to ensure suitable level of support, innovation and technology that goes into the bras.'

Specialist work or discrimination? Come on girls, next time you're shopping for underwear, perhaps you should choose a store where women of all sizes are charged the same.
