I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but there are a few sexy, strappy little bra numbers emerging in larger cup sizes in online stores. The Figleaves Boudoir Carmen, and the Pour Moi Addicted half cup are representative of the designs large-busted women have been begging for. The sexy, black lace Addicted line from Pour Moi? is […]

Review: Figleaves Boudoir Carmen 132512 in 36G U.K.
Oh, how we FF+ cup girls cry the bitter blues over the lack of sexy lingerie in our cup sizes. For some reason, most of the lingerie that looks like this…. …generally isn’t made in sizes above a U.K. F cup. So we dream and cry and lust after lingerie that is too small […]
Review: Claudette Cool Cotton Sweetheart Demi Bra CD8008
The Claudette Cool Cotton Sweetheart Demi is the third of a trio of Claudette bras I ordered from HerRoom. Like the En Dentelle and Sophia Minx, it was two sizes too large in the cups. This will be a brief review, since the Cool Cotton was the wrong size. Band: Very comfortable, I would not […]
Review: Claudette Sophia Minx Sweetheart Demi 101025
In a recent HerRoom order, I tried three 38G Claudette bras: Sophia Minx, En Dentelle, and Cool Cotton . Unfortunately did not find a good fit with those three, mostly because I ordered the wrong size. Of the three styles I tried, the Sophia was the best fit, despite the cups being two sizes too […]
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: Fantasie Rebecca FL2024
I’m afraid this is going to be one of those “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” reviews. I have tried the Rebecca in a 36FF and 36F (with a band extender – more on that later). The Rebecca is a spacer foam fabric moulded cup bra. If you haven’t tried a spacer fabric […]
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 […]
