Freya Fuller Bust Padded Plunge Review.

I bought this bra from the John Lewis in Leicester. Ive always worn a 34D as this always seemed comfortable, however as a size 10, I knew this was not the right back measurement to be wearing. I decided that I would go for a bra fitting and get my first plus size bra. The woman in John Lewis was very accommodating and after trying a 32”  back, it was deided that a 30E fitted much better. I had been measured a year before this for a university research file and i remember that this was the size that was suggested to me then.
After trying a few soft cup Freya bras i came to the conclusion that the lace didn't sit completely flat on my breast, therefore we tried this slighlty padded bra.
This bra is made from a beautiful, yet subtle pinstripe jersey in a plunge and slightly balconette style cup. It has a soft and very minimal amount of moulded padding in it and has a satin bow on the center front of the bra. Regularly in a plus size bra, there would be 3 cup panels rather than the 2 panles that you find in A-D cup bras on the high street. With this bra having 4 cup pieces the bra is going to give a much smoother shape to the breast. The bras slight padding will give a little extra uplift to the bra. With it being moulded padding, this will mean that the bra has a better fit to the wearer rather than the generic cup size, generally making it more comfortable. 

I have worn this bra twice now, and i have to say that it fits perfectly. I haven't experienced any problems with it at all and will definitely be investing in another. This bra was meant to be £28 but cost me around £22. John Lewis often have offers on their Freya collections so it's just a matter of keeping an eye out for these online and in-store. This is my first Freya purchase, and i will definitely be investing to expand my collection.

TOPSHOP: Soft Bra Review

I do really love a soft bra. It is really rare that i will but a padded cup bra unless its a gym bra or a strapless bra, and Topshop soft cup bras seem to fit me perfectly no matter what style. I bought this bra a few weeks ago in the hope that it would suit me. Ive been wanting a non-wired soft cup bra for a really long time, however they are usually in the popular triangular style that don't suit anyone above a B cup. Surprisingly, being a D cup, these do not suit me. This set cost me £30 and i have to say it is the comfiest underwear set that i own to date. I don't need a massive amount of support, however the fabric (although it has some stretch) is quite firm so keeps everything in shape. Although it doesn't do anything for your cleavage; it does give a really nice shape to the breasts and the lace detail on the cups is absolutley beautiful. These were sold in dress sizes, so unsure of what the best size for me would be, i bought a size 10 and 12 to try. The lace on the size 12 was better placed on me, however the back size was a bit too loose. I would say the size 10 is better suited to a 32 back. There is also the choice between a thong and a high waisted knicker (which i already have in another colour and are by far one of the most flattering pairs of knickers i have ever bought).

H&M Black Lace Bodysuit Review

I bought this a few months ago in the Oxford Circus store and unlike when you buy new lingerie and start to get a little bored of it, i still adore this just as much. It quite literally is everything i want in lingerie; its black, laced and mesh...it's the sort of thing i would actually design.

I bought this in a size 12 merely because that was the only size that was left, however it fits absolutely fine because the mesh fabric has a really high stretch, so could probably fit sizes 8-14. It's not often that i would suggest this, but maybe a S,M,L sizing system would have been more appropriate for this garment.

There is a piece of elastic which sits on the waistline of this garment, which makes the garment more fitted. This combined with the lace meeting at the waist gives the illusion of a smaller waist, making it a really flattering garment. The back of the garment is also lovely. Although it is far more simple and mainly mesh, there is a nice little cut out at the back from the top of the neckline to the waist which adds that extra bit of detail.

This cost me £18, which to be honest i think is underpriced. With a beautiful lace being used and the fit of the garment being so perfect, i think this should have been priced much higher. Even better, i saw it in the Oxford circus store again last week, so even though its not online it is still available in stores.

Bluebella Eloise Quater Cup Bra Review

  I have quite physically been pining over this bra for months. I'm very guilty for spending hours on the ASOS lingerie department when i should really be doing something more productive, but i always ended up wishing that i had the money to buy this beautiful bra from Bluebella. Eventually, as anticipated, i gave in. At only £30 you can't really complain; this quarter cup bra has soft padding in the sling for that extra support and a fine layer of mesh to cover the nipple, making it absolutely amazing. This bra is sold in dress sizes, so i purchased a 10, which was probably the best size for me. Normally if bras are sized in dress size then i would buy a bigger size so that the cup would be slightly bigger, however because this is a quarter cup i thought that this would not make a lot of difference and this seemed to be the right decision. I have never bought anything from Bluebella before, however this will definitely not be the last purchase that i make with them. Lets face it, with their new campaign featuring the favourite of the MIC group, Binky Felstead, they can't really do anything wrong. The Caterina bra, suspender and knicker are definitely next on the list...

Agent Provocateur, The Classics: Annoushka

  As you well know, i am a massive fan of Agent Provocateur. It is just one of those things. So when i took a trip to Selfridges, this of course was the first place i wandered to. I was very impressed by the detail of their new collection, as it really is something seeing the garments in the flesh rather than just on the website, but i will always stay a loyal fan of their Classics collection.
  Although realistically i wanted to walk away with every lingerie set in the shop, there was one bra that really caught my eye. I'm not entirely sure how i haven't noticed it before, but i fell absolutely in love with the Annoushka bra. In fact the whole set was amazing. It looks slightly different online and i probably wouldn't have fallen for it so much for it if i hadn't of been able to see the detail of the gorgeous eyelash lace in reality. It is a wired, lace bra with a high neck, extra straps for support and the basic hook and eye back. It

comes in sizes 2,3 and 4 and although i have no idea which is small and large, i know that the size 3 that i tried was a medium. Normally i am first to criticise any bra that doesn't come in the generic back and cup size measurements, but i was very surprised to see that this bra fitted perfectly. The back was easily adjustable and for someone who normally wears a 34D, the fit of this bra really couldn't be faulted in any way.
  I always find when i go into the Agent Provocateur department in Selfridges (Oxford Street) that the sales assistants are very attentive and couldn't be happier to help you find the right fit. After trying on the bra, i was also shown the matching knickers and suspender - which are also gorgeous.
 

So it was a bit of an expensive trip to Selfridges, but it was totally worth it.
