Ten years of the Tango – happy birthday Panache!

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 …

We’re up for an award (or three)!

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.
So you can imagine our utter glee when we recently found out we’d be nominated for some awards for those very reasons!

Well after a brief Indian summer we’re well and truly back in autumn. If you didn’t already know, October is breast cancer awareness month. Breast cancer is something that can affect all of us whether personally, or someone we know, so we think everyone should get involved with raising awareness and here at Brastop we want to do all that we can. Maybe our latest offers can tempt you to be that extra bit charitable?

About to do an online shop? For every pink bra sold, we’ll donate £1 to a …

Hands up who saw the following article on The Daily Mail website?

The article (which you can read here) discusses a new and potentially revolutionary procedure known as ‘Microlipo’ which could offer an alternative to traditional breast reduction surgery, officially known as reduction mammoplasty. It’s an interesting read, so head on over to the website to read in depth all about the procedure and a case study courtesy of Claire O’Keefe.
Breast reduction is something I’ve been considering blogging about for quite some time and the article seemed like a good opportunity …

Now, I have to confess something – I am a Lepel Fiore addict. Years ago when I decided it was high time my ample-of-chest teenage self actually needed to be fitted correctly, the black balcony Fiore was my first “real” bra, in a 32E. Fast forward a few years (and bra sizes) and its still one of my favourite bras. The fit, for me, is near flawless, and the cut is flattering and practical, so apologies if this review is a bit of a gushing tale of love.
