Reversible Bras, now from Frederick’s of Hollywood

Remember back in 2007 when Victoria’s Secret had some reversible bras? There weren’t very many styles and they didn’t stick around very long, but they were a novelty while they lasted. Now, a year and a half later, Frederick’s Hollywood is trying their hand at this sort of product with the Hollywood Reversible Plunge Bra. These bras are available in nine different combinations; some have two solid colors, and some have a solid color on one side and a print on one side. The website says,

“One bra. Two sexy two looks! This deep plunge bra may feel barely-there because of its luxuriously supple microfiber fabric, but it offers maximum support and versatility with two sides to choose. Innovative soft wire shaping provides beautiful cleavage without padding. Deep plunge front for a sexy silhouette. Hidden elastic wings for smooth, flat fit. Swan hook adjustable closure. Colors that reverse to solids (Amethyst/Mink, White/Frederick’s Pink and Jade/Frederick’s Red) have two sets of straps to match both sides of the bra.”

The Hollywood Reversible Plunge bra is availble in sizes 32A-42F, although DD-F cup sizes are a fuller cup style and have fewer pattern/color choices. The bras are $30-$32 each, but are reduced to $24.50 when you buy two or more. And for a limited time (until 5/31), you can recieve a coupon for $20 off your next order when you purchase a reversible bra. There are matching thongs available for $8 (or 4 for $25). While the thongs themselves are not reversible, they are available in every combination you need to match whichever side you’re wearing your bra on – so you may want to buy both matching thongs to go with your reversible bra for the illusion of having two seperate sets.

Victoria’s Secret Swim 2008

Victoria’s Secret has just introduced their new Swim 2008 collection. Boasting over 170 new styles, the collection has tons of polka dots, ruching, metallic accents, and even a reversible tankini top (following the trend of their recent reversible bras)! Thankfully, there are some bra-sized options for the endowed women and push-up styles for those who want a little more oomph! Admittedly, I’m not sure what to think about the high-waisted bikini bottoms. There is a retro-looking polka dot set I could get into, but there are some more I just can’t wrap my mind around, like the tan “Retro ultra high-waist bottom” with pockets. Who in the world would that even flatter? It makes the teeny model look bottom-heavy! What do you think?

Victoria’s Secret New Reversible Bra

Victoria’s Secret seems to have stolen my idea. A few months ago, while window shopping in the store, I saw a Secret Embrace bra with a fun print on the inside. I thought it was pretty, but not as fun as if you could switch between the black exterior and the printed interior. I even played with it, flipping them around. Well, someone must have been spying on me in the store because Victoria’s Secret has now come out with a reversible bra! Most have prints on one side and a solid color on the other side, although a couple have solid colors on both. The straps are also convertible, so really you can wear this one bra four different ways!

I tried one on (well, a very ill-fitting one – Victoria’s Secret doesn’t carry my bra size, but I tried on the closest one available), and I have to say that it was really fun playing around with it in the dressing room! The reversing worked much better than I thought it would and the bra looks just as good either way. The matching panties are not reversible of course (although they do coordinate), so anyone who wants exactly matching sets might not have as much fun with it. Still, it’s an exciting new product. Victoria’s Secret always has something up its sleeve!
