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.

Shameless Dream Strapless Bra by Le Mystere Lingerie

So the hunt for a new strapless bra continues. I'm depressed that walking through my local shopping mall hasn't yielded a purchase yet. So I settle into my laptop and shop with my fingers. Having had a small degree of success with Zodee.com.au, and knowing they will at least carry my size I hit up their website again. Sadly choices are limited. *sigh*


I settle for the Shameless Dream Strapless Bra by Le Mystere, a brand I've never heard of before, but looks fancy. Its expensive. The only piece of lingerie I have that cost more is my torsolette I bought for under my wedding gown. Expectations are high......

Support & Comfort- 3 / 5

Hmm, not good. Not horrid, but not great.

Overall Look - 4 / 5

It really is a shame I'm not loving it as the fabric is quite lovely and the colour is ok.

Wearability - 3 / 5

I'm not keeping it. For the price, frankly I want more. I want to LOVE it. I HAVE to love it, to justify the cost to myself. While not the ugliest and most ill-fitting thing I've ever put on, I just.... don't....want to keep it.

Price - $85.00 on Zodee, or if You're a member you can get it for $80.75.

Size Range - 10DD-18F

Colour Range - Black and Nude

Other Accessories - appears not.
