Twice a year I get up at silly o’clock in the morning and take the three hour PLUS journey all the way to Birmingham and end up with very sore feet. And why do I do this? To attend Moda of course!
Armed with a lot of Red Bull and some home made cupcakes for breakfast (nice and healthy) I set out to my idea of heaven and spent the day lusting after as much lingerie as I could lay my eyes on.

Well it’s been a while since my last sports bra review, but I’m getting there! I haven’t been exercising as much as I would like as I had to have a minor op on my eye recently (those who know me will know just how much I whined about wearing an eye patch!) but now that we’re finally seeing some warmer weather, I am heading out more. I’ve been alternating my two sports bras so I can really test them properly. You may remember my Freya Active review? Well after …

We have been busy bees at Brastop, and a lot of our time has been taken up with all the new lines we’ve been adding! And I was personally thrilled to find that we have a whole new range of Panache on offer, hooray!
A personal favourite of mine, Panache are a classic brand that offer some of the best fit and support out there. Panache have stood the test of time and year after year come up not only with new designs, but updated classics that are a staple amongst …

Now it’s not often I’ll change my mind about a bra. If at first sight I’m not keen, it’s rare that I’m proved wrong. And whilst I didn’t hate this bra, it didn’t exactly jump out and steal my heart as I browsed the Brastop website. But oh how wrong I was…
Bra: Freya Pollyanna in black.
Product description:

Supportive balconette bra styled in silky satin fabric over a luxurious black base.
Decorated with a charming floral print, intricately embroidered lace overlay and delicate petal bow detailing for an elegant touch to the classic look.
Uplifting, …

And onto our second review of the day! You’ll be sick of the sight of me soon enough…
We look back at the Showgirl classic, the Thrill Me. This has been a firm favourite with Brastop customers, and we don’t blame you. Who doesn’t love the jewel tone colours and adorable ruffles?! As with any brand, style and fit changes over time, particularly from the original designs. Curvy Kate is still a young company but they’ve been tinkering away to make the fit of every set even better than before! Don’t …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Bra: Panache Superbra Ariza in teal/pink
My size: 30G
Fit: I LOVE the fit of this bra. I opted for a 30FF as I find that in Panache bras I’m closer to a FF cup than a G (a 30G can often leave me with a little too much space to warrant wearing it) but that could just be the shape of mine. The back is comfortably snug and after a slight downsize, the cups fit like a dream. The doubled layered half cup means I’m covered but also supported, where I …

We have an exciting part of Brastop being launched today and to get the ball rolling we’ll be posting lots of reviews…you’ve been warned!

First up is a new addition not only to Brastop, but the hugely popular Showgirl range by Curvy Kate. As if we didn’t love them enough, please say hello to the sumptuous Tempt Me, ooh!
Bra: Curvy Kate Tempt Me in scarlet.
Product description:

Stunning, seductive plunge bra with lightly padded cups, available in a vibrant scarlet shade with rich black lace overlay.

And to celebrate this iconic bras tenth birthday, I thought it was about time I did a review!
Panache Tango Spirit Plunge.
Product description:

Supportive, underwired light silky satin bra in a rich cream finish and decorated with a summer floral burst of complimenting reds, pinks and greens.
Comfortable fit with a flattering shape.
Matching green bows complete the look.
Fully adjustable straps, fastening with two clips at the back.55% Polyester, 34% Nylon, 11% Elastane

My Size: 30G.
Fit: Nothing quite fits as well as the Tango, in my eyes, and I doubt this opinion will change. The …

It’s not often that a style of bra can say it’s been around for ten years. When Panache launched in 1982, do you think they anticipated just how successful their basic bra would be? That it would be considered a classic AND a must have? Probably not, but it happened…because it’s time to bake a cake, put on your party hat and blow up some balloons – the Panache Tango is turning 10!
The understated bra – coming in both a plunge and balconette design – is fairly simple. With its …

It’s still not quite December and whilst normally I resist anything festive and Christmas related until the first, but with so many amazing offers on Brastop I just can’t fight it anymore!
And our latest Christmas offer? 12 bras for £12 each!
There are some amazing bras included in the offer, and some firm Brastop favourites. The Flirtelle petal is featured in both white with black detailing and black with blue detailing, modeled by our Model of the Month winner Amie at our recent shoot AND reviewed by our Focus Group member, Carrie.

Here at Brastop we pride ourselves on offering our customers some of the best lingerie out there, in sizes that are often not found on the high street, or deemed ‘tricky’. For quite some time we’ve tried to give the curvy world a bit of help with the lingerie, and knowing that our customers are happy makes us feel even better.

The wonderful people over at 100 Percent People have …

And last but not least in our third blog and interview of the day is the gorgeous Amie Wilson. Take it away Amie!
Afternoon Amie! Lets start with you letting our readers get to know you a bit better…
My name is Amie Wilson, I’m 27. I work as a part time retail assistant, and a part time dance teacher. I love music and films and having a good laugh with friends (as I’m sure anyone does!)
I would just like to say now, for the record, after seeing Amie’s body, I WILL …

After posting Kate’s interview this morning we just couldn’t wait to show you the others so thought ‘why not post all THREE interviews in one day?’ could this be our busiest day of blogging to date?!
And onto our second interview with our next Model of the Month contestant, the beautiful Charlotte Hodges!
Hi Charlotte! Why not start things off by telling our readers a bit about yourself?
My name is Charlotte, I’m 23 and I’m from Essex! (Feel like I’m on blind date!) I’m currently at university studying a Masters in Sports …

In true Brastop style we interviewed each of our lovely ladies so you get a chance to know them a little better before you cast your precious vote.
First up we speak to the wonderful Kate Nolan!
Hi Kate! Why don’t you tell our blog readers a little bit about yourself?
I’m Kate, pretty much everybody calls me that apart from my Mum and Nan who call me Katy. …

By now you’ve probably seen our three lovely Model of the Month contestants and their magazine covers, all encouraging you to vote for your favourite. How beautiful do they look?!
And whilst here at Brastop we’ve done many shoots over the years, this was our first ever Model of the Month shoot, and we couldn’t have been more excited. Model of the Month is our exciting new competition where we want you, the Brastop customers, to model for us because we think we have some of the most beautiful, curvaceous customers …
