Underwired bra.
Maximum support

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 …

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 …

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 …

Well it would appear the blog wasn’t in a co-operative mood last Friday, and our Bra of the Week post never got published – naughty blog! So, whilst it may be a couple of days late, here is our official Bra of last week!
The Lepel Fiore in blue and pink!
This bra is one of my absolute favourites. Actually, that’s a bit of an understatement – I am a full on Fiore addict! It’s been a staple member of my lingerie drawer for years now, and I just cannot get enough …

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 …

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 …

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 …

We have been busy bees at Brastop, and a lot of our time has been taken up with all the new lines we’ve been adding! And I was personally thrilled to find that we have a whole new range of Panache on offer, hooray!
A personal favourite of mine, Panache are a classic brand that offer some of the best fit and support out there. Panache have stood the test of time and year after year come up not only with new designs, but updated classics that are a staple amongst …

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
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 …

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 …

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, …

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 …

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 …

Bra: Princess Bra Blue by Curvy Kate
Product description: Princess Aqua balconette bra by Curvy Kate. Styled in semi-sheer mesh underwired cups with embedded white polka dot detailing. Bottom part of the cup is double lined for added uplift while the top of the cup is adorned with ribbon detail and rich scalloped embroidery.
My size: 30HH
Fit: This bra is very supportive and gives you a great, natural-looking shape and the 30HH size was a perfect fit for me.
Materials: 85% Polyamide, 15% Elastane.
Colour: A gorgeous aqua blue, which I adore. It really …

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 …
