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

Candid by Fayreform

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

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.

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

Berlei - Barely There Contour

The Berlei Undetectable Contour Bra, does not feel as Divine as the Undetectable Contour Bra,

but it still quite smooth, and is more that easily accessible and available - notoriety a definite plus!

Support & Comfort- 3.5 / 5

Much the same as the Anna, the Berlei Barely There Contour bra is a good everyday option, which in a pinch (with added help of the luxe options) will transform you to a sex kitten without the hassle.

The wide straps, add terrific support and the cups are positioned at a good point in your frame so you don't feel smooched together or separated too much.

Overall Look - 2.5 / 5
The 'Barely Nude' colour isn't a lot to look at to be honest. To cater for a larger bust the straps are widened to eliminate pressure on the straps (and dreaded cutting in look) giving you a good line under shirts.

Fortunately there is a lace & luxe option to add some pizzazz!

I feel as though mine may be too small in the cup, despite being fitted, as I end up hoicking things around during the day to rearrange.

Price - $49.95

Size Range - 10A - 16E

Colour Range - Very extensive; White, Black, Barely Nude, Alabaster (Off White), Pink Delight (Light Pink), Fuchsia (Pink), Tigerlilly (Tangerine), Surf Navy (Light Blue - pictured), Java Green (Light Green), Seduction (Magenta), Brown Suede (Brown), Rio Red (Red) and Mood Indigo (Dark Blue)

Other Accessories - The Barely There comes with a brief (pictured)
Also available in Lace and Luxe options in varied colours - very much dependent on availability.

Potentially interesting is also the Barely There Strapless Bra (not pictured on the website but see: http://www.zodee.com.au/ ) as a replacement for the potentially defunct Smooth Operator?

Berlei - Undetecable Contour

So with the Anna, my flagship everyday bra erased as an option I went off *under duress* to find a replacement and immediately found a divinely smooth and sleek option.

As an aside - I initially stepped into Bras N Things, and we greeted by a woman wearing a lanyard proclaiming her 'Fitting Specialist' - who was wearing a totally wrong fitting bra, double breast action, so I bought pajama's and went to David Jones where a sturdy older woman served me.

The Berlei Undetectable Contour Bra, feels lovely. The material is heavenly smooth, but somewhat disappointing on.

Support & Comfort- 2.5 / 5
For a start, the cup was not big enough. To go up I would have had to go to a 16DD, which would have meant that the bra would have been too big around my chest.

The bra did support, but the cup (as sort of pictured) felt as if it were pancaking my breast and thrusting them together to create a cleavage, and at the same time giving breast spill issues.

I guarantee Sophie Faulkner is having some double boob here but we cannot see it.

Overall Look - 2.5 / 5

I am quite middle of the road about this bra.

If indeed it's purpose was to create a cleavage, job done - but not a nice rounded cleavage more, lift, separate and then attempt a cleavage.

I did personally not like the way it fit. I needed a larger cup in my books, and it just does not exist.

Price - $49.95

Size Range - Fairly average, 10A - 16DD

Colour Range - Almond (skin), Black, Red, and Navy.

Other Accessories - I have not sited the bras to know what size but Berlei list a Undetectable Push-Up Contour Bra, Undetectable Lace Contour Bra and Lace Hipster Panties.

Cotton On - "Princess Lace Contour"

Very odd bra! I tried this one on after the White T-shirt racer back one, expecting probably a similar fit. WRONG.

Well. Not wrong in a good way unfortunately. Wrong in that they didn't fit in exactly the same manner, but still bad fit. This one almost had potential, as perhaps a cheap little bra designed to be worn for ten minutes before some business time, of which, hey, absolutely nothing wrong with that in my book! But you couldn't wear it to dinner before your sexy time, in preperation for an immediate strip tease back home, it just wouldn't support you that long.

It actually had a really interesting design in that there was heaps of support on the undersides of the breasts, on the outer toward the armpit , succeeding in lifting and giving Va-voom factor, but you would spill out the top eventually (say,after more than ten minutes wearing it). Massive cleavage factor, which was kind of cool, but just not practical. And unfortunately, that's just not enough for us big boob gals.

Price: $10.00 (on sale) RRP $19.95

Simone Perele "Marquises" Push Up Bra

Two things come into mind for this review:

1. Do DD+ need to be pushed up
2. And does Simone Perele have to do it?

In the interest of this blogs well being I decided to go bra shopping tonight. Strictly in the interest of... brascience you understand.
Having never tried on a push up bra owing to the fact I thought there was no need I was pleased to see this bra did not make me look all breast.

It's sexy, gives you're girls a boost and still sheer enough not to create any lumps or bumps under clothing. The fine lace is embroidered with lotus flowers, and the seperated straps have a little flower on them joining the straps.

Colours: White, Black, Navy (pictured & purchased), Skin and Light Pink

Price: $108.00 ** Purchased for $84.00 at Factory Outlet.

Website: http://www.simone-perele.com/

Stockists: Simone Perele brand is available through major department stores, Myer and David Jones, there are also Simone Perele stores & Parramatta Brand Smart building has a factory outlet.

Other accessories: They make several panties; G-String, Bikini and a Fuller Lace Bikini (pictured above)

Scores:
Comfort- 3 /5 ** Note have purchased bra - not worn all day
Look - 5 /5
Wearability - 3/5

Kayser "Brazilian" Moulded Full Lace

Sometimes, you just bag a winner. I love this bra. In reviewing it, I'm trying to figure out why I don't own more of them? I remember when they were released rejoicing that finally women with larger cups could buy well priced pretty lacy bras. Great support, great comfort factor. They are a moulded style (Not padded though) like a T-shirt bra, but lacy.
Great colour range, with new colours each season, and they're cost efficient enought to own a wardrobe's worth. There is no double-boob in this bra (spilling out the top of the cups) nor out the bottom of the cups. Good strap style, suitable for strappy singlet tops, and in the range of colours available, if you can see the straps its not such a disaster.

Website-http://www.kayserbrazilian.com.au/
I apologise in advance, their website is incredibly sluggish to navigate.

Stockists can be found on the Kayser website, although I found this feature a bit clunky. A better bet, (and cheaper) will probably be your local Big W, find locations for your nearest store at http://www.bigw.com.au/stores.asp.

Size range appears to be 8-14 and they have apparently just released new colours and styles to cater up to E. As its Big W though, be aware that of course they won't carry a lot of stock in the higher cups.

Other accessories- Happily there is quite the range of other items, including several styles of undies and G's, chemises and nightgowns, in the full gamut of colours.
