Curvy Kate Emily balconette bra in grape/black – bra of the week

Before I start on this week’s Bra of the Week – the Curvy Kate Emily balconette bra grape/black, I thought I would provide some insight into my thoughts on Curvy Kate lingerie.
I was asked recently what it is about Curvy Kate bras that I like so much. If you’re a regular read of the Brastop Blog, you’ll probably have some idea as to why.
For a start, they’re the best fitting bras on the market, for me anyway. I’ve tried and tested a lot of bras in my time, and ever …

Divine Bra Black/Red/Grey by Flirtelle – Bra of the Week

The Divine Bra in black/red/grey by Flirtelle is a bit of a departure for me for this week’s bra of the week, partly because it’s not entirely the style of bra I normally opt for.
While it is a balconette-style bra, the cups are designed somewhat differently from other bras in the Flirtelle range, as it almost resembles a plunge bra in its shape, but still performs the function of a fully-supportive balconette bra.
It’s an underwired non-padded mesh bra decorated with intricate red and grey floral emboridery and matching ribbon bows, plus …

Rebecca Bra by Bestform – review by Lauren Colfer

Bra: Rebecca in black by Bestform.
Review by Curvy Kate model Lauren Colfer.
My size: 30G
When I was asked to review this bra, I was glad to find a basic, functional black bra; something I haven’t purchased in ages.
The first aspect that struck me was that I felt 100% supported; the band is firm, but flexible – so there is no cutting in.
The front of the bra has a lovely rounded shape and the mesh detailing allows for some sexiness, which is nice in a basic bra.
The knickers had the same detailing …
