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 […]
Bras for Short Waists / High Set Breasts
Brand Review: Natori and N by Natori Bras
I’ve been hanging on to reviews of a few Natori and N by Natori bras because I was attempting to find my “perfect fit”…and in fact, I would have….except, I got sized out. My boobs and underbust have made some sort of up/down movement size-wise and I am now, sadly, sitting outside the Natori and […]
Review: Freya Faye Plunge Balcony AA4201
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 Valentina EL8400
I was very excited to try the Valentina. I’ve read other reviews – rave reviews, and I had high hopes. The Valentina is pretty in a photograph, but stunning in person. The fabric is soft and silky and the colors demand your attention. The four-part cups and side support promise unrivaled lift. You know where […]
Review: Love Claudette Paramour 15008
Oh Claudette, how I want to be your paramour! The Love Claudette Paramour is the fourth of five Love Claudette bras I’ve tried: the En Dentelle, the Sophia Minx, the Cool Cotton, and the Dessous (review to come). I have a serious flirtation with Love Claudette. I will continue to try every bra they make, […]
Review: Panache Idina Plunge 6966
I promised there was light at the end of a long list of bras that do not fit me…and here it is. Let me start with stating that I am in love with Idina. Idina is my best friend. I’d avoided Panache bras because the wires tend to get a bit high in the arm pits […]
Review: Freya (and I mean ALL of them) Does Not Fit Me.
Two weeks off from blogging and ironically, this is what I choose to write about, first…. I’ve been out and about and trying on bras…and sadly come to the conclusion that an entire brand of bras that could theoretically fit me …don’t. And won’t. Ever. Here’s the sad history of what I tried (and cried […]
Review: Fantasie Vivienne Side Support Plunge Bra FL2112
I was excited to try the Vivienne because it’s an elegant, sophisticated and sexy plunge bra with side support… and it’s a Fantasie bra – whose wires usually fit me very well. One thing I love about the Vivienne is that in a 38F it looks exactly like the photos on the models – the […]
Review: Cleo Jude Moulded T-Shirt Bra 5846
Note: If you are looking for a review of how the Cleo Jude compares to the Cleo Neve, click here to read it! Well, gentle readers….guess what? I found a bra that fits! I had put the Jude into the categories of “too bad it’s moulded, because they don’t fit me” and “it’s not […]
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 […]
