When I put the bra on, I noticed right away that it is very comfortable – there are no itchy seams or pinchy bits. There are tags on the band, but they are long and silky, so I didn’t even don’t even notice them. I actually was thinking that the bra was tagless until I specifically checked! I was very pleasantly surprised to see that that the Bendon Sport bra gave a very natural and seamless silhouette. It shaped my chest more like an everyday T-shirt bra than than a lumpy, unattractive sports bra. I know that the gym isn’t a fashion runway, but it was still nice to know that my assets looked their best! I went to the gym with my boyfriend that day, and even he commented on the difference and improvement my new bra made in my appearance. The fabric was light and quite breathable, so I was comfortable throughout my workout. Another happy surprise was when I found that the straps are convertible, so I had the option to wear them normally or to crisscross them – perfect for wearing underneath racerback workout tanks! It actually wouldn’t be so bad if the straps were to poke out a bit, however, as they are relatively slim (compared to some other fuller-figure sports bras) even though they were comfortably cushioned.

The only disappointing thing about the bra is that it doesn’t come in my size. I wear a 30 band, but Bendon Sport’s size range begins at 32. I was optimistic when the bra came in a size 32, and wore it on the tightest hooks. But the Extreme Out bra seems to run true to size, and was just too big for me. I was comfortable in my yoga and Pilates classes, but an incorrect bra size is very apparent when you want to run on the treadmill! You guys know that I’m very particular about wearing well-fitting bras, so I will sadly have to retire mine. Don’t let that deter you, though – if you are within the size range of the Bendon Sport bras, I think they will work wonderfully for you. The sports bra is very high-quality, and has a sturdy three-row, three-column band to anchor firmly to you. I was also glad to see that the cups had comfortable foam-covered underwires for extra support, and busty ladies know how critical support is!

“I wanted to give our shoppers unbiased information they couldn’t find anywhere else – not even in a retail store. The videos provide an impartial and equal comparison since the same model is wearing all the bras. Now you can truly know before you buy,” said Timima Edmark, CEO of HerRoom.com. “I believe it shows valuable information that every woman should see. It’s also patent pending.”

I don’t think I still have to stress the importance of a good sports bra here — so use the herroom info to your own advantage, girls!

Here are some of my favorites from the show.

Let’s start with Fayreform, the company that encourages you to celebrate your voluptuous figure and “Work Your Curves.” Plan to do just that in the sensual silhouettes and rich, bold colors for fall. Designed to give exquisite options to the full busted women, this innovative line is also expanding to include a high fashion Platinum collection. Not to mention, the signature Profile Perfect t-shirt bra now has a sassy sweetheart neckline. Absolutely dazzling!

I love the commitment Fayreform has to women embracing their curves, especially during pregnancy. They devoted 18 months of planning to develop the cotton lined, Maternity nursing bra. Not only is the bra well constructed, supportive, and functional, but also feminine and pretty.

And just wait until next spring and summer. You are in for a treat! Rich colors, fun patterns, intricate embroidery, and subtly, seductive accents (including some amazing eyelash trims) all accentuate the curvaceaous form. With sizes through a J cup, the full busted woman truly has a wide variety of options for whatever her mood!

Some of the collections feature more than one style of bra including underwire, plunge, and balconette. A number of collections also include camisoles or slips. Matching bottoms include bikinis, thongs, and my favorite, the French knicker! Find Fayreform at Bare Necessities, Figleaves, and many other retailers.

Fayreform is a part of the New Zealand based Bendon Limited along with my next favorite find from Bendon Sport. As you full busted ladies know, finding the perfect sports bra can be a NIGHTMARE! Gone are the days of having to wear two or resort to using…tape! Now you can be comfortable and secure for your trips to the gym or practice runs for the marathon. With all the toll taken on your breasts during exercise, a well-fitting sports bra is essential to prevent pain, irritation, and sag. These bras address those issues by featuring engineering such as foam-wrapped underwires, double layer moulded cups, and quick-dry fabrics.

Not only are these comfortable and supportive, but also stylish with a range of colors to brighten up your workouts! The color palattes will stay fresh and current as trends change in the fashion market. The talented and innovative designers at Bendon Sport take pride in the fact that they are able to provide both functionality and glamour into their product as the design is flattering to a woman’s curves and can be easily mixed and matched into the workout wardrobe.

Bendon Sport offers support for a wide range of activities and intensity levels from a maximum support high impact bra to a low impact shelf bra. Other pieces in the collection include a breathable, fitted t-shirt and a stretch cotton yoga pant.

You can find these wonderful items at a number of retailers nationwide including select City Sports locations and online at Freshpair.

I really enjoyed meeting Jodi Gallaer and seeing her amazing collection! I was most impressed with her chemises, camis, and baby dolls that are not just beautiful and sexy, but also offer that necessary support to the fuller busted woman. With many little numbers offering nothing in the way of support, a D-plus or larger lady may not feel her most confident in the bedroom. This collection gives her just that option!

Jodi Gallaer provides a wide range of pretty colors and patterns and range through an H-cup. I love the garden-y feel of the “Tea in the Park” collection. Want to know more? Find out more about the collection, as well as retailers, at the Jodi Gallaer Lingerie website. I can’t wait to see more in the stores!

The pieces will not be on the affordable end of the spectrum with +/-$90 for knickers to $580 for chemises. That’s about the only information there is right now (thanks to Stuff NZ!), but we’re expecting more info on this very soon!
