A quick lowdown of three places to buy bras in Melbourne – if you’re one of the two thirds of people who don’t fit in the sizes most bra shops sell, or you just want somewhere to give you a good fitting, this is the post to read. Apologies for the lack of photos of…

Comfortably Stylish – A Short Review of Urkye Koalicja Serca+Granat in 34OO/OOO
I have real difficulty finding clothes that fit me due to my bust/waist sizes, so I often look at bust friendly brands as a potential solution. Unfortunately, my personal style is brightly coloured/patterned, interesting clothes and most of these brands deal in basiscs so I always leave the websites empty handed and disappointed. My perspective…

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…

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…

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…

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. (I have procrastinated SO MUCH guys, I bought this bra in September and now it’s November!) I snagged the Nichole off brastop…

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…

Asos: You… Really Didn’t Even Try this Time — Asos Fuller Bust Fan Lace Balconette Review in 28G
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. Apologies for the poor lighting! And yes those are plasters on my nipples that I coloured in with a felt tip…

Hi, can you tell me what's that pretty green bra? Thanks in advance.
