So here we have this week’s Deal of the Week on the Brastop Blog: The Princess Bra in Pink/White by Curvy Kate for just £14!
Styled in semi-sheer mesh, with underwired cups in baby pink and embedded white polka dot detailing, this gorgeous bra has a half double-lined cup for added uplift while the top of the cup is decorated with ribbon detail and rich scalloped embroidery.
All I can say is, I have this bra in white, and it’s in my top three bras.

Over the past few weeks, I’ve selected a white bra as my bra of the week, a Flirtelle bra and a Curvy Kate bra, in addition to a body (and I’ll get on to basques soon), but this week, I thought I would pick out a strapless bra: the Fauve Bethany strapless in ivory.
Strapless bras are one of the must-have items in any girl’s lingerie drawer, because you never know when you’re going to need one. It’s usually when you finally try on a dress you’ve purchased for a special …

It’s another balconette bra for this week’s deal of the week at Brastop, this week, the Daisy Balconette Bra in cream and pink by Flirtelle priced just £14, down from our ususal price of £17.95 (and it would normally cost you £26!).
This is a superbly supportive balconette bra styled in delicate sheer-mesh fabric over a delectable cream base and decorated with an assortment of beautifully embroidered floral patterns across the cups in complimenting pink tones.
It also has a ribbon bow detailing, supportive, underwired cups, adjustable shoulder straps – and it …

I’m usually known for my love of Curvy Kate, Flirtelle, Fantasie and Freya, but it’s high time I selected a different brand and style from my usual bra picks, which is why my bra of the week this week is the Panache Superbra Tango II balconette bra in cornflower blue.
I do like Panache lingerie, but I don’t have many sets from their range in my massive collection. It’s been a while since I tried this particular bra on, but I decided to give it another go today to offer up my …

White bras. We all need them, we’ve all got them. If you’re anything like me, the chances are, a large proportion of the bras in your underwear drawer are made up of one of two colours: black, and white.
Among the top five bras in my collection is the Curvy Kate White Criss Cross Balconette, for a number of good reasons.
I don’t know what the provenance of white bras are, but it probably stems from white being one of the basic cotton material colours (not requiring dyes or any pattern/colour mixes), …

Following on from our recent post about the Perils of Plus Four, we’ve had an email from one of our regular readers and customers (We’ll call her ‘N’ for now).
Basically, N followed our suggestion of visiting a store and trying on a bra based on the bra calculator they offer on their website (where you take a series of underbust and overbust measurements and add four inches to determine your bra size). Conventional size calculators/charts give N a 34D (measurements 29″ underbust, 38½” overbust). This is how she looked in a …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

I received an email the other day from the husband of a female friend who was stumped as to what to get his wife for her Christmas. He said he was too embarrassed to go into a high street store and buy lingerie (practical, or otherwise) and didn’t want to buy any of the bog-standard presents such as a handbag, perfume or a book.
So, I suggested to him to look a little further afield than the bras and basques and perhaps pick something that his partner would enjoy and get …
