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

Catalina Strapless Lace Full Cup Underwire Bra - BnT

So my strapless bra sort of died. It was beginning to buckle in the foam underneath the cup, just above the underwire and eventually I had to face the fact that it simply didn't fit anymore. It seemed like it did, but my enormous bosoms were simply too heavy for the poor thing. I've currently got 2 x Fine Lines Strapless numbers, reviewed last year by PrincessEmma. So off I went in search of one in my size. 

ARRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

It was with great dismay I discovered that this bra doesn't go up to F. (I should have looked at Em's review, which clearly states the cups only go B-E, but it never occurred to me that this "old faithful" of mine wouldn't go to F!)

I've had I think 5 of these bras over the years in black and nougat, first discovering them in about 2000 when a friend bought one for her wedding. After no luck with Fine Lines I resigned myself to having to go out in search of a strapless bra for big boobs....

Support & Comfort
- 1 / 5
No support.

Overall Look - 0.5 / 5
Horrid! It sort of pancaked my boobs in a most unattractive way.

Wearability
- 0 / 5
As soon as I put it on, I took it off virtually. It wasn't a maybe, it just wasn't. It sat too low on the breast-line, and while pancaking me, cut me off above the nipple. Its hard to describe. Its not that it didn't fit properly, I suspect it did. But it made a small double boob in trying to be tight enough with the support.

Price
- $39.95. Disappointing this didn't work because its SO affordable.

Size Range
- 10-20, D-F

Colour Range -
Ivory and Black

Other Accessories
-
appears not.

Catalina at BnT.

Stockists - Exclusive to Bras N Things.

A sad day

I found out today, that the Anna bra has been discontinued.
Apprently the bra sold really well during sales, but as a full price item of a measly $39.95 the bra didn't sell.

I am crushed. RIP Anna.

Short Stories "Anna" Microfibre T Shirt Bra

The "Anna" Microfibre balconette contoured hidden under wire bra is my lifesaver.
As a TShirt bra, importantly but not exclusively it gives you the smooth lines underneath a smart business shirt or clingy jumper that makes this bra worth it's price.
In addition once the shirt comes off, I might add it holds it's own looking like a fairly sexy little number - giving enough support and LIFT to look and feel incredible.
When fitted properly (and I CANNOT stress this point enough) it will 100% contain any difficult side boob, double boob issues.
Down side; sadly "Anna" only comes in skin tone. I would adore it to come in every colour under the sun but you have to take the good with the bad.
Price: $39.95
Stockists: Short Stories is available exclusively through Bras N Things, for stores visit the website or BNT are available to buy online.
Size range: 10B to 16DD
Other accessories: Short stories make panties and G's in
