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…

Deep n Wide – Not Another Tutti Rouge Nichole Review in 28G
I’m gonna admit to being a hipster here – I wanted to review this bra before it was cool! And then I ended up procrastinating in both buying the bra and reviewing it, go me.

Uplifted & Round – the Beautiful Cleo Blake Review in 28G
It’s no secret: I love this bra. It fits great – not perfectly, but that’s to be expected -, gives me a really nice shape and I adore the aesthetic. I find myself reaching for it more often than all but one of my bras (and that’s only because my Ewa Michalak CH Karmelki has…

Buckle up folks, it’s gonna be a wild ride. Honestly I’ve heard multiple people have success with Asos’s Fuller Bust range but after my experience I’m utterly confused as to how that can happen.

Bra Science — Why Band Tests Don’t Work

Asos: You Tried — Asos Fuller Bust Kendra Review in 28G
Oh, Asos. I understand you’re a fashion brand. I understand this is your first foray into extended bra sizes. I understand your business is based on selling cheap items.

I ordered the Chloe Lace Balconette Bra in Coral in UK 28G and the corresponding Lace Shorts in a UK 8. This bra is priced at a very reasonable £24 and there was a special offer running whereby you could buy the bra and knicker set for £25 – pretty genius deal in my opinion because I never…
