Oh, the Freya Faye. Quite possibly the strangest bra experience I’ve ever had. Before you decide I’m about to start a rant about the Faye, I’ll let you know I’m not. Because after trying the Faye, I also tried several other Freyas (that experience summed up in Freya (and I mean ALL of them) Does […]

Review: Elomi Ophelia Moulded Plunge EL8390
Oh, Ophelia! This is a quick mention about the Ophelia – unfortunately, the style was not a great fit for me but there are so many great things about this bra I do want to mention it. Elomi offers quite a few moulded and smooth cup bras, but the Ophelia intruiged me because of the […]
Review: Freya Gem Half Cup AA1363
I was reviewing my bra shopping notes, and discovered I forgot to mention the Freya Gem Half Cup. I found the Gem at Dillard’s – so I was unable to try the FF cup (which is generally my Freya size), so I tried the Gem in a 38 E, F, G. The Gem is very […]
Review: Elila Moulded Softcup Bra 1803
This will be a brief review on the Elila. The bra and fit do not suit me at all, and and the sizing was wrong…so it’s difficult to give a thorough review. The Elila is a spacer foam fabric softcup bra, and since I am a fan of the Fantasie Rebecca and spacer foam fabric, […]
Review: Panache Sophie 5821
No, I’m not pregnant – I’m just desperate for a comfortable bra whose wires don’t poke my ribs, armpits, or rest on my breast tissue. The Sophie is a very pretty, minimal coverage soft cup bra. When I say “minimal coverage”, check the photo below where I compare it to the Elila Molded Soft Cup […]
Review: Chantelle C Chic 3 Part Plunge 3641
The C Chic is a breakthrough bra, of sorts, for me. Though the sizing was wrong, and the cups too round (translation = narrow) – it proved that 3 part plunge bras are probably my best hope for a good fit. A big bonus – the C Chic is available in five colors, and it […]
Review: Claudette En Dentelle Underwire Demi Bra 12009
The En Dentelle is a gorgeous, gorgeous lace cup bra with vertical seaming. Everything about it should have worked. HerRoom measurements put it at a 2 1/2″ gore and band side seam (in a 34B), and the cups are supposed to be rigid and supportive. If you’ve avoided Claudette because the bras look too skimpy […]
Review: Freya Moulded Deco Plunge AA4234
I must admit a soft spot for the Freya Deco. It was my first wired bra (that I wore for more than an hour). I’ve owned and worn the Deco in a 38F and 36FF. The 38F was my first wired bra in my “correct” size, and the 36FF was my first bra after I’d […]
Review: Curvy Kate Daily Boost Balcony CK1801
The idea that some company, somewhere, makes bras to fit my wide breasts is a something I cling to. If you look at my Lingerie Drawer, you’ll notice the CK Daily Boost is a bra I tried but do not own. I really, really wanted this bra to work, because I wanted Curvy Kate to […]
Review: Enell Sport 100
My newest sports bra is an Enell Sport 100. My previous sports bra was a Freya Firm Control Wire-Free Spacer Sports Bra with Racerback. While it was a definite improvement on wearing a “regular” bra to for workouts, the Freya was uncomfortable for me because the racerback styling pulled across my shoulder muscle and cut […]
