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
DD	10-18	32-40
E	10-16	32-38
F	10-14	32-36

Colour Range - Has been available in a range of colours over time. Bra shown above is in Black with Pink embroidery, French Knicker in Cream with Black embroidery. Also French Blue, Chocolate with Coral embroidery.

Other Accessories - Matching French Knicker (pic above shown in Black and Cream). Candid range normally has a thong as well, but this unavailable in this new colour.

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

We hope you have a ....

Sexy Babydoll with support for large busts

While searching for something entirely different, I stumbled upon another product that would be suitable for anyone with a DD or bigger bust wanting something sexy for Valentine's Day this weekend. If I hadn't already chosen something else after the last disastrous selection I would be all over this like white on rice, I tell you.

The OPULENCE line by POUR MOI, a UK based brand, is simply divine looking. With several pieces in the collection, the thing that caught my eye was the Baby Doll

 The most amazing feature of this piece is that there is a proper bra built into it, with gel lining, giving fantastic cleavage I imagine. With sizing between 8B (30B) to 16F (38F) there is hope our breasts can be shown to full advantage in these little outfits after all.

Other items available at www.figleaves.com a UK site, include:

 PLUS a Bra

  plus of course the bottoms

  G-string and Shorty.

Babydoll and bottoms all available at BellaForma in Australia, FigLeaves in the UK and US.

Glaze - Fayreform

Support & Comfort- 4.5 / 5

Overall Look - 3 / 5

*losing points mostly due to strap-age and no cleavage.
Wearability - 5 / 5

This bra is GOOD, but not great, on several levels.It has fairly wide straps, so it can't be worn with a spaghetti strap singlet, but it IS very comfortable and wonderfully supprtive. It scores a 5 for wearability as its fantastic on, and a great everyday bra, even though its lacy.

I would definitely recommend, and it scores points for being a good line under a shirt, seperating the breasts without sending them under your pits.

This is one of the bras I took to Europe with me and it served me well, and continues to do so.

Price - RRP $74.95

Size Range - Can't find, however I think it will be 10-18 D-G

Colour Range - The purple colour shown above only.

Other Accessories - Matching brief

I bought it at Myer on Sale, and I've had trouble finding it online to buy (to link to), however you may have better luck at the major retailers instore.

The point of this post is to say that this gorgeous bra has been released in a new colour. Unfortunately however, I can't find a good picture of it to bring over, so I will link to the best one I can find, at ezibuy.co.nz where you can even hover of the image for a close up of the beautiful embroidery detail.

This bra is fantastic, I have been waiting patiently to see if it was going to be released in a new colour for summer, as the black and cream and the chocolate and coral didn't really interest me much.

Sizing -

Underwire

F75-5044

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

So where can you buy this gorgeousness I hear you all cry! 

Both Balconette and regular Underwire are availble at Zodee, but their sizing appears more limited in the Balconette.

Limited Sizing availble at Ezibuy (nothing at the extremes, like my size for eg)

Bras.co.nz has a good range and hopefully major Fayreform retailers as well. I'm off in search to buy one right now!

Valentine's Day Offerings

After my husband subtley hinted at a particular corset type outfit from Bras N Things that he might like to see me in, rather than simply dismiss the idea outright, I took myself in and tried it on.

Eeek! Abort abort! 

This is the "Pin Up lace and mesh corset" from BNT. 

I CANNOT recommend it as a working solution for anyone of a DD cup size. In fact I think it only caters to breasts up to a B. There is no support in it, and I have to say when I tried it on, the effect was simply nothing short of ridiculously comical.

Storm in a D Cup

Firstly a welcome to our newest contributor, K, of The Life and Times of K.We hope you enjoy her posting and her viewpoint as much as we do.

-Dataceptionist

Have you heard of this company?

Storm in a D Cup is an online store who stock bras in sizes from a D-cup onwards (all the way to an L! - although not in every style).
They stock bras from well-known brands like Freya, Elle MacPherson and Triumph.

The website offers a good range of everyday bras, sports bras, maternity bras, swimwear and sleepwear.
And... (wait for it...) pretty bras! I don't know about you, but at a DD-E its nearly impossible to find a supportive, comfy bra that doesn't make me feel 'matronly'.

Check some of these out:
This is the "Antique Rose Minimizer" from Triumph.

Its sized from a 10 to 18, Cup DD to G.

There's a matching brief and g-string too (*sigh* - I heart sets)










Or this one, which is the "Isabella Lace Bra"by Le Mystère.

This one is sized from a 10 to 16, cup-sized D, E and F (no DD? - bizarre) and has a matching g-string too.









Storm in a D-Cup are currently offering a $5 discount voucher if you sign up to their monthly newsletter (so I did).

Because its an online store, fitting is always going to be a bit tricky. There's a link on the site to a Fitting Guide, and there's also a 100% exchange/return policy within 30 days.

There is a store in Bondi Junction (fittings by appointment only), but what I really love about this set up, is that they have your size. I always get the cranks when I find a bra I love, and its made in my size, and its not on the rack! ARGH! I'll order online to get what I want any day.

The bras aren't the cheapest (department store prices) but for the sheer convenience, I'm willing to give it a go.

I haven't actually ordered anything from this website yet, but as soon as my $5 voucher comes through I'll be placing an order. And I promise to blog about the result.

Have you had any experiences (good or bad) with Storm in a D-Cup? Let us know on the comments page.

Facelift

People...

Its time for a facelift here at DDD ... I had always dreamed of creating something beautiful and sexy and lacy myself but it's not going to happen.

I say we need to scour all templates available and change it up...
What say you?

Tahlia Lace Contour Bra by Short Stories

I was fairly pleasantly surprised by this bra actually. After admiring it on the model, I almost automatically ruled it out due to sizing but entered the shop anyway.

Buying a pretty bra IN A STORE usually ensues plarva that is unsurpassed.

Support & Comfort- 4 / 5
Very sufficent indeed, I thought the seemingly flimsy straps would not be up to the job.
But so far after a dozon (? or so) washes it's still in good nick indeed.
Although... perhaps don't go on an ocean extream adventure as I did in it?

Overall Look - 5 / 5
Going out on a limb here, but I think it's... well perfect. Looks good on, breasts well covered and supported. What more could I ask for?
I keep meaning to rip off the obnoxious bow but that's my only qualm.

Wearability - 4.5/ 5
I wear this one alot. Gives me a good enough line to wear it under most things, and is sexy enough to wear out at night and feel good about myself!

Price - $45.00 on from Bra's N Things

Size Range - 10D-18E

Colour Range - Black & Misc... mine is Black and purple but the website seems only to have black but I've seen black and aqua and black and baby pink in stores.

Other Accessories - Satin Trim Boyleg and Mini V String
