Dishearteningly Dear – All Undone Lottie Review in 28GG
Ever since I found out about All Undone I have fallen in love with their aesthetic. The sleek lines, bright colours and high quality materials have put them at the top of my wishlist for years. One thing held me back though – whenever the bras were reduced in price to within my budget, they…

Bra Science: How Band Size Changes with Cup Size – Freya
Welcome to part two of my series on how band lengths are not always equal between cup sizes. Last time we had Cleo by Panache, now we’re testing Freya’s band lengths. I collected Bratabase data on the stretched and unstretched band lengths in a couple of band sizes of Freya bras – the ones with…

I will be the coolest kid! — Comexim Graffiti Review in 55M
Comexim’s designs don’t often inspire me. However, as a connoisseur of all things fun – underwear or otherwise – I just had to buy this bra as soon as I saw it. A graffiti print longline? SIGN ME UP! I ordered the bra in a 55M with the “deeper cups” and “reduced cup height” alterations…

Note: This blog post has images with text on them, so I’ve uploaded a text-only version here that should be compatible with text to speech readers.

Bra Science – 16 Signs You’re Wearing a Parachute Bra
Since people loved my 11 Signs You’re Wearing a Boob Hat post, I have decided to write one about the opposite syndrome: The Parachute Bra. Parachute bras are worn by people who have realised that the “plus 4” method of measuring people is a terrible system, but they go too far the other way – wearing…

Bra Science: How Band Size Changes with Cup Size – Cleo by Panache
Just when you thought bra fitting couldn’t get any more complicated, it turns out that a 30 often isn’t the same as a 30. It’s commonly known that people with larger cup sizes tend to choose smaller bands over those with smaller cup sizes. But is this an organic decision or influenced by changing band…

Longline Giving Me a Hard Time – Freya Pandora Review in 28G
I adore how this bra looks, on the stock photos, and, to an extent, irl. It looks pretty basic from the front but it has some stunning design features that I will delve into later. However, in true Freya fashion, this bra only goes up to a 28G so it really doesn’t fit me, which…

Take a Bow – Cleo Della Review in 28G
I so wanted this bra to work. After the unprecedented success of Cleo Blake, I’ve been super willing to try more Cleos. Sadly, it just wasn’t to be. I ordered this bra from Lingerie Outlet Store on Amazon for £19.90. Unfortunately, the bow fell off immediately as I put the bra on. Upon closer inspection…

Bra Science — 11 Signs You May be Wearing a Boob Hat
Do you feel unsupported by your bra? That it squashes your boobs down instead of lifting them up? Or maybe you feel that your bra is just a useless garment altogether, costing quite a bit of money considering it just doesn’t really do anything? You may be wearing… a boob hat. Many people who wear…

Disappointing Beauty – Cleo Piper Review in 28H
I feel like The Rock adequately sums up my feelings about this bra. I’ve waited for this bra for 9 months. That’s how long it takes for a human to be made. From its first preview in Bras and Body Image’s Cleo AW16 Preview post, my eye was caught. I must have this bra, I…
