Curvy Kate Lottie bra in indigo review

I was more than excited when the new collection of Curvy Kate appeared here at Brastop, especially when I realised their latest design (and new favourite of mine) was part of that range…say hello to the Curvy Kate Lottie!
The Lottie is a brand new design, and came about thanks to the competition run by Curvy Kate with De Montfort University and student Sarah Greenwood. It’s certainly different to previous Curvy Kate designs – the bold floral embroidery and satin lower cup haven’t used before and I was a little dubious …

Review – Shock Absorber Max Support in white

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 …

Freya Pollyanna in black – review

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, …

Curvy Kate Thrill Me in azure and peach review

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 …

Curvy Kate Tease Me Review

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 …

Freya Active Underwired Sports Bra review

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 …

Review – Flirtelle Vineyard

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 …

Review: Panache Superbra Ariza in teal/pink

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 …

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.
Bra: Fiore full …
