I’m particularly looking forward to seeing this report from Which Magazine, that highlights something very close to our hearts at Brastop; poor bra fitting and sizing advice.
In its ‘Bra fitting? No it isn’t’ report, due out in December, the consumer magazine sent 11 individuals varying from age 25-75 who were a DD cup or bigger to a number of high street stores and found that fewer than one in three of the 70 surveyed made the grade in terms of providing correct fitting/sizing advice – and none of them were …

Curvy Kate’s very own supermodel and previous winner of Star in a Bra, Lauren Colfer, has started up her own YouTube channel, featuring short videos discussing some of her favourite topics (and ours), such as make-up, clothing, style, fashion – and hopefully, she’ll be talking about lingerie soon too.
This particular episode features Lauren discussing bikinis, and how difficult it can be for buxom or big boobed girls to find something both comfortable and suitable in your size for lounging by the pool or taking a dip in the sea.

Do you remember Busts4Justice? Only a few short years ago, they were involved in a very high profile campaign against the unfair Marks & Spencer ‘Bra Tax’ policy of charging more money for bigger-sized bras – and they won.
M&S subsequently admitted they had ‘boobed’ with the policy and amended all of the pricing on their bras so that you paid the same whether you were a 34A or a 36JJ. Our very own Becky Mount was part of the campaign and still battles for fair pricing and more breadth of …

Our friend’s over at HotMilk, the specialist maternity bras, have asked us to post this fantastic new fitting video they’re promoting.
It contains all the common sense tips on fitting yourself for a new bra, with the added bonus of a half-naked hunk whipping a measuring tape to help his partner into the right bra.
Go watch it!

The Daily Star newspaper has posted up a lengthy Christmas lingerie gift buyer’s guide for men, not unlike the one we posted here last week on Brastop.
Journalist Richard Peppiatt took along model Daisy Watts to make sure he was on the right track, and the results are fairly amusing.
The Aberdeen Press and Journal has also posted their buyer’s guide, which offers similar advice, albeit with its tongue firmly in its cheek in places.
It’s pretty much common-sense stuff; check your partner’s sizes, try to get her something that suits her, and …

Here’s an interesting item I found on the website for a news service called the Star Telegram of a woman concerned about her white bra showing through a white shirt she wears to work.
It sometimes seems like an obvious solution to wear a white bra under a white top, but it’s not always the best idea – usually a nude bra does the trick.
Over the coming months, our very own Carrie Hunter is going to be reviewing every day bras, so look out for her best tips and advice on …

There’s only 24 days until Christmas (even fewer online shopping days!), and every year around this time, thousands of men up and down the country, of all ages, contemplate a certain type of purchase as a little extra Christmas gift for their partner.
Inevitably, the dreaded ‘Christmas lingerie purchase’ tends to present several problems for the anxious male buyer, not least of which is the embarrassment of actually walking into a lingerie store (or the lingerie section of a department store) and hanging around the bras in …
