Singapore women are getting BIGGER

THE notion that many Singapore women are flat-chested has been busted.

Sales figures from three bra retailers here show that Singapore women are getting bustier.

The demand for bigger-cup bras has been growing steadily over the past five years. It's an increase of 10 to 15 per cent, say the retailers. To cater to more well-endowed women, retailers like Triumph International are increasing their supply of bigger bras.

Said Triumph International's director Ms Doy Teo: "Five years ago, the majority of our customers bought C-cup or smaller bras. Now we have gradually seen a 15 per cent increase in the number of customers who buy bigger sizes."

The change in the demographic of Singapore women can be a reason for this increase in bra sizes.

Ms Teo said: "While we've observed that local women are getting bigger, the increase in expatriates coming into Singapore is also a reason for the increase."

"More of these well-endowed women don't want to hide their assets, but want to show it off"
