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 …

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 …

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 …

Fauve Bethany strapless bra in ivory – Bra of the Week

Over the past few weeks, I’ve selected a white bra as my bra of the week, a Flirtelle bra and a Curvy Kate bra, in addition to a body (and I’ll get on to basques soon), but this week, I thought I would pick out a strapless bra: the Fauve Bethany strapless in ivory.
Strapless bras are one of the must-have items in any girl’s lingerie drawer, because you never know when you’re going to need one. It’s usually when you finally try on a dress you’ve purchased for a special …

Curvy Kate Criss Cross Bra in White – Bra of The Week

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), …

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 …
