You know me by now girls, if it’s Curvy Kate and there’s a new range or style and a deal to be had, I’m first in the queue – which is why I’m so thrilled that this week’s Deal of the Week is the Angel Balconette Bra in Black/Teal by Curvy Kate.
Not only is it my favourite brand, but it’s my number one choice of bra too – a balconette. It’s a gorgeous, thoroughly supportive bra styled in rich sheer-mesh fabric over a delectable black base and detailed with and intricate …

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 …

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 …

With the evenings getting a little lighter I think we can safely say that Spring is moving in.
It’s a great time to not only spring clean your home, but also take a look at your wardrobe, and think about changing some clothing. Perhaps some brighter colours?

I set myself a mission at the beginning of the year to not wear any black– just a personal thing – glad to say I’ve done quite well so far. I’m now looking in the lingerie department, because I always find when my lingerie is …

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 …

We have a brand new deal of the week on for you lovely customers and what is it this week? The absolutely beautiful the Curvy Kate Emily in lavender!
I have been waiting so long for this bra to come up on Brastop. The Emily is one of my all time favourite designs and it’s had a spring makeover courtesy of these darling blues. It’s so girly and fresh, I can never resist a pastel. The delicate embroidery detailing is complimented by the use of the softest shades of blue, this …

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 …

So you may well be aware of this good news and taken advantage of the brilliant offer…
…Brastop have new Curvy Kate in stock!
Brastop and my personal favourite brand Curvy Kate go down a storm with our customers, so we’re happy to announce we’re stocking some of their autumn/winter 2012 collection.
Full of supmptuous jewel shades, this collection certainly packs a punch. We’ve seen new colour ways of classic styles, such as the Emily in grape, and the reinvention of others – just LOOK at the beautiful gold detailing on the teal …

Twice a year I get up at silly o’clock in the morning and take the three hour PLUS journey all the way to Birmingham and end up with very sore feet. And why do I do this? To attend Moda of course!
Armed with a lot of Red Bull and some home made cupcakes for breakfast (nice and healthy) I set out to my idea of heaven and spent the day lusting after as much lingerie as I could lay my eyes on.

Bra: Curvy Kate, Showgirl Tease Me, Black/Lemon
Product description: Tease Me Black/Lemon balcony bra from Showgirl by Curvy Kate. Lightly padded satin cups overlaid with black mesh guarantee support and a gorgeous shape. The rich embroidery and intertwined ribbon complete the sophisticated look.
My size: 30HH
Fit: Curvy Kate bras in the 30HH are always a perfect fit for me. The Tease Me bra gives such a gorgeous shape, it makes you feel very sexy. I love this bra so much for this very reason, it’s hard to get a push-up effect in …

Here’s something for all you Curvy Kate fans out there: the Tempt Me in black/gold is now available on the Brastop website with an introductory offer of just £19 for a limited time only. There’s also the first appearances (on Brastop) of the Showgirl range Tease Me and Thrill Me in black/wine, jade fuchsia, black/wine and jade/grape. Hurry and grab them while stocks last!

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), …

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 …

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 …

All the wrapping paper has been recycled, the diets have started and we’re still finding glitter on our clothes from last Saturday night. There’s no more excuses to spend the days in our pyjamas watching kids films on the TV and definitely no more chocolate for breakfast…that’s right –  it’s officially 2012!
We started the year by reaching 5000 fans (and counting!) on the Brastop Facebook page which is the best way to kick things off. Here’s hoping it’s just a taster of good things to come in 2012.
And like any other …

My size: 30HH
Fit: In the picture above I’m wearing a 28HH and, although it seemed to fit when I first put it on, throughout the day it did become obvious that it was the incorrect size for me in both band size and …

Just because it’s cold, wet and wintry out there, doesn’t mean to say all your Christmas gift ideas have to be comfortable underwear or pyjamas or jumpers and socks – you can plan ahead a little and browse around Brastop for some gifts that will come in handy when the sun comes out.
Like the Curvy Kate marketing manager Hannah Houston, who has made her Christmas wish for something to wear in the sun…
