Curvy Kate Princess in Wine and Grape – Angie Grieves’ Review

Underwired bra.
Maximum support
Adjustable shoulder straps
Adequate back fastenings – three sets of three hooks
Elegant trimmings with middle bow
79% Polyamide, 15% Elastane
Matching panties!!!

My Size: 34G
Fit: Now this bra is a different size to the previous garment I reviewed.  Having said that, the fit was fine.  There’s extra Elastane is this bra than the previous (7% with the last bra, 15% with this one), so there was more stretch but not to the point of discomfort.  I tend to go for the loosest set of hooks because it lengthens …

Curvy Kate Emily in Grape – Review

I’ve been invited by Brastop to take part in reviewing some of their gorgeous lingerie so you can see what lingerie looks like on a real model like myself and here is my first review… Enjoy!
My first experience with The Curvy Kate Emily was during the spring / summer catalogue shoot last year. I had the privilege of trying it on in black and I fell in love with the design almost instantly. This encounter however, was far too brief, which is why I was thrilled to be given another chance to …

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 …

Gossard Sassy Plunge longline bra in purple review

I was way too excited to do this review. For years I have lusted after longline bras/bra tops, but found that I couldn’t even dream of finding one to accommodate my 30G’s, without risking some serious slip ups in public. So when these elusive beauties started appearing in Autumn/Winter collections last year, I could barely contain my excitement. And it was only a matter of time before the brilliant Brastop started stocking these. Could I be any happier? Probably not! First to fill me with absolute glee is the Gossard …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Maternity Bras review by Karrisx

Karris, 26, presents a beauty channel on Youtube, where she discusses all things related to fashion and makeup. Here, she reviews some maternity bras currently available on the Brastop website.
Bra: Panache Lorna Support bra

My Size: 32H. I normally wear a 30G but have gone up to a 32H since pregnancy.
Fit: The straps are thick enough to provide support without looking matronly (probably the type of look a new mum wants to avoid!) and the flattering cup shape and pretty lace detailing make it not only comfortable, but nice to look at, …

Bra: Curvy Kate, Showgirl Tease Me, Black/Lemon

Panache Superbra Tango II in cornflower blue – Bra of the Week

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 …

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.
