Bra: Princess Bra Blue by Curvy Kate
Product description: Princess Aqua balconette bra by Curvy Kate. Styled in semi-sheer mesh underwired cups with embedded white polka dot detailing. Bottom part of the cup is double lined for added uplift while the top of the cup is adorned with ribbon detail and rich scalloped embroidery.
My size: 30HH
Fit: This bra is very supportive and gives you a great, natural-looking shape and the 30HH size was a perfect fit for me.
Materials: 85% Polyamide, 15% Elastane.
Colour: A gorgeous aqua blue, which I adore. It really …

Recently I’ve been going through one of the best lingerie ranges I know, the Curvy Kate showgirl. With the recent addition of the Tempt Me, it seemed only naturally to update the reviews now that the design has been altered and the fit is much more reliable. And with the Thrill Me under my belt, next up comes the Tease Me! With two new Tease Me additions to the Brastop family (Lauren Colfer looking drop dead gorgeous in the almond and baby pink) you lot seem to be quite enamoured …

I spy with my little eye a curvy beauty on the front cover of this month’s Cosmopolitan magazine! Mad Men star Christina Hendricks is bringing back curves with a vengeance.
The curvy actress oozes confidences and sexy appeal… rocking the bright burning red hair with a figure hugging dress; it’s no wonder she was voted as one of the sexiest women in the world…

Gone are the days of only size 6 models on the cover… Cosmo has taken the curve battle in their own hands (with the help of a-list celebs), paving the …

Okay, so the Krisline Queen body isn’t exactly a bra, but it’s still my bra of the week here at the Brastop Blog.
I think I’ve said before here on the blog that in the dim and distant past, I was once a big fan of bodies. I owned a Marks & Spencer black body a long time ago, and it ended up in tatters because I wore it so often (one of the cups lost its underwire – and I STILL wore it, it was so comfortable). I also have …

My second review for the Brastop Focus Group focuses on a Panache Harmony Bra
Product description:
- Underwired balconette bra.
- Great support
- Adjustable shoulder straps
- Adjustable back fastening – 3 hooks
- Beautiful elegant embroidery
- “Hugging” cups
- 79% Nylon, 14% Polyester 7% Elastane
- And don’t forget the matching panties!!!
My Size: 36FF
Fit: To be honest I could “feel” this bra when I first tried it on, so I moved from the middle hook on the back fastener to the last hook.  After one wash it felt a bit more flexible so I’ve gone back …

One of my non-bra related resolutions for the New Year was to exercise more. Not to lose weight – I’m very happy with my curves – but for two reasons. The first being that I am dreadfully unfit and the second that my curves are actually very squidgy. I haven’t got enough will power to go on a diet, and so my 2012 is to get healthy. This was all well and good until I realised that I can’t run for a bus without being in agony, how was I …

I’ve only had the Freya Pollyanna caramel bra for two days, and already I know it’s going to be a firm favourite at the top of my  underwear drawer, which I wasn’t expecting.
You see, it was a gift, and normally, I wouldn’t have chosen a full-cup bra for myself (I prefer balconette), but I’ve been pleasantly surprised at just how good this bra is.
It’s been a while since I’ve regularly worn a Freya bra (I used to be a big fan of Freya and Fantasie – but most of my …

Bra: Flirtelle Sublime bra
Flirtelle: Flirtelle is Brastop’s own brand so you won’t find it anywhere else. And they go right up to J cup!!
My size: 30HH
Fit: It’s a very tight-fitting bra, which I love as I feel completely supported in it. It also gives you a naturally sexy shape too.

Colour: It’s a gorgeous black bra and every girl needs a sexy black bra and this is it! It’s got the right mix of luscious lace and a soft satiny feel. I’ve zoomed in on the picture so you …

We’ve discussed the subject of bra fitting on many occasions here on the Brastop blog – from how to go about properly measuring yourself, to how to get fitted and invest in bras that conform to your body size and shape.
The importance of proper bra fitting can never be overstated or under-emphasised – for health reasons, comfort reasons, your posture, your well-being, self-confidence – and, let’s not forget, your purse can suffer if you waste money on bras that don’t fit.
However, far too many people still rely on the “plus …

Bra: Flirtelle Petal Bra in White/Black
Product description:
- Elegant and supportive underwired non-padded bra, styled in silky sheer-mesh fabric in white, decorated with an intricately embroidered floral patterning and ribbon bows in contrasting black.
- A gorgeous look, with smooth, uplifting cups for a flattering and comfortable fit.
- Adjustable shoulder straps fasten with two hooks at the back, across three columns (three hooks for larger cup sizes).
My size: 30HH
Fit: I got this bra in a 30HH, it is true to size so fits perfectly. It gives a lovely, natural and full shape. …

Back when I started writing here on the Brastop blog, I was sent a bra by (then) relatively unknown brand Flirtelle. I had never heard of them before, and, while the bra looked nice and seemed well-made, I wasn’t sure it would work for me. You know what it’s like – you get accustomed to certain brands, specific styles, patterns and colours – and you find it difficult to make the switch. Well, certainly, I do.
However, I gave it a go, and pretty soon it became one of my favourite …

Well, it’s official – I am not a true Brastop fan. And do you know why? Because it’s taken me this long to try a Flirtelle bra, the shame! For some reason I just hadn’t gotten round to testing Brastops own brand but thanks to the Focus Group I finally could. It’s not that I went out of my way to ignore them, but with so many bras on offer, sometimes brands and styles fall to the back burner. Now enough excuse making from me, lets get on with the …

All the wrapping paper has been recycled, the diets have started and we’re still finding glitter on our clothes from last Saturday night. There’s no more excuses to spend the days in our pyjamas watching kids films on the TV and definitely no more chocolate for breakfast…that’s right –  it’s officially 2012!
We started the year by reaching 5000 fans (and counting!) on the Brastop Facebook page which is the best way to kick things off. Here’s hoping it’s just a taster of good things to come in 2012.
And like any other …
