Cupcake by Elle Macpherson

This bra was so pretty and I liked the colour so much that I just had to buy it when I saw that Elle Macpherson had brought out a range that was for fuller cups.

Unfortunately I think that the fuller cups must have been based on The Body herself's fuller cups. The F cup was NOTHING like an F and there was none of the support that is required from bras when you get up to that size.

So to the score card......

Support & Comfort- 2 / 5

Overall Look - 4 / 5

Very pretty. Only the ill fit that loses points. Little bit saggy.

Wearability - 2 / 5

You could wear it for a sexy night, but that would be it. Would have to be a "put on in the bathroom" number.

Price - RRP $79.95

Size Range - 10-16 D-G

Colour Range - Comes in the pink above and a red/charcoal combo.

Other Accessories - Matching brief and stretch lace G String. Both have a "vanilla" insert panel in keeping with the name **edit - Sized in S/M/L/XL

Panache - Porcelain - Moulded Strapless

I should have known from the pictures, and perhaps of all the pics I found online of this bra, this one isn't very fair to it. But it is in the nude, whereas they mostly are in a chocolate colour.

This bra was very expensive, and has been immenseley disappointing. I have actually found myself reaching for the two I was trying to replace, rather than wear this one.

I purchased in nude and black, and both are bad as each other.

Support & Comfort- 3 / 5

I find myself tugging it up

Overall Look - 3.5 / 5

I suppose it could look worse, but as in the pic above, it doesn't lift the breast enough, just sort of covers them.

Wearability - 3/ 5 

One of the reasons I was replacing my finelines' bras was that the foam had sort of folded under the weight, at the underwire under the breast. 

I wil disclaimer that the only reason I strayed from Fine Lines was that they don't go above an E. Which is very disappointing.

Price - retails at $99.50 which is a lot when its not an awesome fit.

Size Range - 8, 10, 12, 14, 16D-G, Great range at least.

Colour Range - Black, White and Nude

Other Accessories - There is a matching G, brief and a corresponding T-shirt bra.

Today's Woman range from Slimform

I apologise in advance for the dodgy photos - they were taken by me, on my phone, either in the change room or on a hanger.
The website isn't quite complete yet so I couldn't get professional images.
But trust me when I say - all 3 styles are really quite pretty.

This one is the Floral Embroidered Plunge Bra:



















It also comes in a full cup Floral Embroidered Underwire Bra:

I tried on the plunge bra in this style.

Support & Comfort- 2 / 5
Its a little hard to see in the photos, but the straps on the plunge style are two thin black straps on each side. There is only quite a short area to adjust length and I found the straps too tight, even when fully extended. They also cut in a bit given that the straps are no elasticised.

However the bra is not itchy from the embroidery.

Overall Look - 4 / 5
Its a very pretty bra - I especially like the sheer fabric used at the back but wonder if it might stretch quickly with wear?

Wearability - 3/ 5

The detailed embroidery is a bit visible through tops - I'm personally not a fan of lumpy boobs. Also, the straps are not multi-directional.

Next is the Plunge Bra with Lace Trim:

It also comes in a full cup underwire style:

I tried on the plunge bra in this style.

Support & Comfort- 4 /5

This bra was very comfortable - the primary fabric being soft and stretchy.

Overall Look - 3 / 5

Not as pretty as the others but still nice. The back of the bra is a solid fabric which looks more durable than the sheer on the previous style.

Wearability - 4 / 5

I think this style is the most wearable as it is the least detailed - however the lace seam is visible under fitted clothing. Again- shame about the non-multi directional straps

Finally, we have the printed bra which offers shape and support (I'm going off the descriptions on the tags here).

I did not see any alternative styles in this patten.

Support & Comfort- 4 / 5
Pretty comfortable. The straps do not have a huge range to adjust length, but its much better than the first bra. A bit of give in the fabric is good too.

Overall Look - 4 / 5

This bra is very pretty, but when its on, I found that the lace panel was too wide, and looked a bit odd. All of the floral/stripe pattern is sort of hidden on the underneath - which is a shame cause I think that's the nicest bit!

Wearability - 3/ 5

A lot of seams are visible though fitted clothing when wearing this bra - the horizontal lace seam as well as the vertical stripes. A little bit of texture from the lace as well.

Price - $19.86 - same price for both plunge and full cup styles

Size Range -

Plunge:

14-18 C, D, DD, E,

20 C, D, DD

22-24 D, DD

Full Cup:

10-20 C, D, DD

22-24 D, DD

I'm disappointed with the size range considering that this brand is marketing towards larger busted women. Why can't the full cup bra be made to fit an E, F or higher?

Colour Range - Only one colour combo per style - as far as I could tell anyway.

Other Accessories - According to the label on the tags, it appears that each of these styles comes with matching briefs although I couldn't find any of them in the store.

Coolmax Sportsbra by Intimo

The picture of fitness that I am, I'm always after a good sports bra. I do dancing and body pump - swinging all over the place is not my idea of fun. On the recommendation of my Intimo lady, I gave the new style with the wide band around the ribcage a go (the black one on the right in the picture). The Intimo lady thought this was the most supportive sportsbra she's ever worn (but then, she would say that). I've gotta say, I don't really agree. For starters, this bra is not an underwire bra, so it supports more by generally strapping the girls in.

And I have found that the wide elastic band rolls up into a thin elastic roll. This is not uncomfortable at all, but it manages to annoy me anyway.

That said, the straps can be worn directly over the shoulder or crossed over at the back which is a feature I'm a fan of. I prefer a crossover back sportsbra generally to avoid the issue of straps slipping off shoulders,but its always nice to have the option.

Support & Comfort- 3 / 5

This is hard to rate. It is a supportive bra, and its not uncomfortable, but I do prefer an underwire.

Overall Look - 3 / 5

Its not bad, considering its not really a bra designed to be looked at. You get a solid cleavage line as the bra kind of squishes you down but the cups sit high so there's no over-the-top bulging.

Wearability - 4/ 5

Its quite versatile, and comfortable enough that I wear it relatively often even when not exercising. Because the bra does not separate your boobs, but rather presses them together, it can actually make some clothing (especially work shirts I find) sit just that bit better (and assists with button-gaping issues).

Price - $69.50 which is a little more than I'd ideally value it at, but I don't feel ripped off.

Size Range - 32-34A-DD, 36-38B-DD, 40C-DD - not really a very big range for the big busted girl, however Intimo's other sportsbra goes up to a 46EE.

Colour Range - Black and White

Other Accessories - Nope.

Stockists - Only available through an Intimo sales rep.

Candid - Fayreform (balconette) REVIEW

As my post below, really excited to finally own this bra. The only thing that could make me love it more, would be to swap the colours and have a hot pink lace with black embroidery. When I first got fitted to figure out if I had been sized correctly by Intimo, this was the bra I tried on. Ever since then I've been halfheartedly trying to buy one. Only half heartedly because I wasn't real thrilled with the colours available. So I was OVER THE MOON when I discovered they had a new colour for summer.

Support & Comfort- 5 / 5

Fantastic.
Overall Look - 4.5 / 5

Very pretty. Lose half a point because it is sort of high cut when you have very full cups. Also it is advertised as balconette for "cleavage".
Wearability - 5 / 5

Price - RRP $59.95

Size Range -

	NZ/AUS	UK/US
C	10-18	32-40
D	10-18	32-40

F	10-14	32-36

MINE ALL MINE! So excited. I finally found somewhere to buy this, in my size, in the Balconette. I had to ring Fayreform direct to find out who it had been supplied to, but the girl I spoke to was SO helpful, she was just lovely.

So, here it is, in my underwear drawer. Hehehe
