Every thursday we’ll be posting a Battle of the Bras episode here on The Lingerie Post. The idea behind it is as simple as it gets: we show you two bras from different brands in the same price range, and you pick your favorite… That’s it!

Sheer Ribbons underwired bra by Elle Macpherson IntimatesWe’re starting off this week with two very affordable underwired bras. The first one is the Sheer Ribbons underwired bra by Elle Macpherson Intimates. Fashioned in delicate sheer, striped tulle, this underwired bra has a rich embroidered lace trim around the top of the cups. With dainty straps and pretty ribbon details, it is highly feminine. At £28 it’s a very affordable bra seeing as it’s top quality…

Sevres three quarter cup underwired bra AllumetteNumber two is the beautiful Allumette Sevres three quarter cup underwired bra. The delicate colour combinations of the gauzy net fabric, combined with the rich embroidery and edge finishing at the band, capture a cute modern take on the essence of French style. It’s priced exactly the same as the Elle Macpherson Intimates bra, so this could get interesting ;-)

Make your pick in the poll:

Because this brand is part of the Simone Pérèle group, it enjoys their distribution channels, which makes the brand available from boutiques all over the world and loads of online shops. That’s good news, considering the softness and delicasy in so many of their pieces… Fans of intimate lingerie in high-profile fabrics such as satin will love Allumette!

Allumette Lingerie Sevres underwire bra and briefThe Sevres collection is without doubt my favorite (even though their Venus line is extremely sexy too ;-) ). I tested the Sevres three quarter cup underwired bra earlier this week and It (and I) looked very cute if I may say so myself. The high quality finishing is what you can expect from any decent brand, and the fabrics were obviously chosen to be as soft as possible. The matching thong wasn’t to my liking: the frilled sides mean you have to be quite skinny to make this thong work… I suggest going for the Allumette Sevres brief if you’re not a size 6 ;-) .

The pictures speak for themselves. The Sevres line by Allumette is a fragile and feminine lingerie collection, that’s very fair in price. The bra is available at figleaves for $51, the brief is priced at $30.
