one of my favorites from a few summers ago.

Dear Victoria’s Secret,
I find it very disturbing and offensive that your swimwear section has a link to D and DD sizes, but only a select few of those bathing suits actually COME in DD sizes. OUT OF 84 BATHING SUITS, I FOUND 7. Out of the 7 I found that were actually available in DD, 3 were one-pieces and the other 4, which I believe were the same style in different patterns, might as well have been a one-piece. Unattractive, boring and designed for a middle aged woman. Hello, young women have breasts too.
I am 20 years old, I am 5’9, I am fit and I have a beautiful body, I just happen to be a 34 DD. Your swimwear selection for my body type is a joke and I find it rather humorous that breasts and ass are basically your ‘specialty,’ and the base of all the products you sell, yet you can’t manage to make tops and bottoms in ALL styles available in ALL sizes? Whether it’s a size AAA or DDD, if you’re going to have your models flash their boobs on my TV screen, trying to get me to buy your product, I would hope and expect you have a product I can actually purchase. I look at this website year after year hoping you finally have something YOUNG and FRESH that a young women with large breasts could wear without feeling as though you’ve designed something specifically to cover me up. All I ask for in a bathing suit is support and style, something your “DD” section utterly and completely lacks. Furthermore, a company who fails to meet the needs of a population of people, the very people they’re marketing to (WOMEN!!!!!), is disrespectful and to be honest, is very hurtful.
I would very much appreciate some feedback, though I doubt it will come and I hope you will soon accommodate WOMEN and not just the models you decide to put on your catalogs, in your commercials, and on this website.
Thank you.
