If you haven’t come across Prima Donna lingerie yet, you’re in for a treat. This European label is all about high-fashion luxury undergarments, and thanks to a unique retail distribution model you can find PD bras in most North American lingerie shops too.

Prima Donna’s roots trace back 1865, when it was founded in Germany by Salomon Lindauer. Lindaur’s primary focus for Prima Donna was to provide a perfect fit for large and naturally shaped women. The company evolved from providing primarily corsets to manufacturing bras for large-breasted women. Prima Donna changed hands from S.

From the article in the Associated Press: The Battle of the Bust is over, and consumers have triumphed.

Britain’s largest clothing retailer, Marks & Spencer, has backed down on its incendiary policy of charging a 2 pound ($3) surcharge for bras that are DD or larger in the face of a spreading consumer revolt.

“We always try to do the right thing by our customers and we thought we had, but it’s clear we’ve got it wrong this time,” said M&S chairman Stuart Rose. “From Saturday, no matter whether it’s large or small bras you need, the price will be the same.”
