Curvy Kate Spring Summer 2016 Lingerie Collection for D-K Cups

January 14, 2016 by Brigitte

The video below got me smiling. Curvy babes showing off the brand new Curvy Kate lingerie collection for spring/summer 2016.

Curvy Kate caters to large cup women from D all the way up to K-cups; yet keeps the lingerie collection extremely young and feminine.

Alegro – New Large Cup Brand!

January 1, 2010 by Kelly

I was sifting through the HerRoom sale today (by the way, there are some great deals to be had right now – discounts up to 60% off!) when I noticed a brand I hadn’t heard of before: Alegro. The bras I saw were pretty and a bit more stylish than a lot of large-cup offerings, so I dug around a little more. I learned that Alegro is a new upscale brand extension of Ruby Pink, designed for a slightly more mature and sophisticated customer. Bra sizes range from 30 to 42 bands and D to H cups. Panties come in sizes S-XXXL.

Alego focuses on flirty fashion basics  that aim to be glamorous as well as comfortable. So how does lingerie this pretty stay comfortable? Alegro says they use flat lying elastic straps (double spaghetti as well as full comfort), two and three-hook back closures, powernet bands, and unique underwire casings. But despite all that, it’s pretty clear that a lot of Alegro lingerie is designed for serious seduction!





The Alegro Lingerie Facebook page says, “Each style has been uniquely designed to offer support and style while all remaining truly glamorous. The collections are designed using our new concept of mixing East meets West design.” It sounds like there is a fast turnaround too – there are new designs every month!

Panties cost $13-$45 and bras are $42-$75. I haven’t found the brand in any boutiques or on any websites outside of HerRoom, but the brand is slated to become more widespread in Spring 2010. My favorite styles (Midnight Orchid and Flora Jewel) aren’t available in my size, so I haven’t had a chance to try out the brand yet. Have any of you tried Alegro? Did you like it? Where did you find it?

Review: Carissa Rose’s Glenna Wide Strap Camisole

December 17, 2009 by Kelly

If you have a larger chest you know how frustrating it is to shop for lingerie and tops. You often have to resort to wearing stretchy knits, having woven tops tailored to fit you, or simply going without the best fit. Finding a great top can wind up being time consuming and expensive! And even after all that, it’s often hard to look appropriate in the office or any other time you don’t want to flash cleavage. Carissa Rose knows our plight, which is why the clothing line is devoted to providing well-fitting garments that fit a larger bustline and a smaller waist. Carissa Rose by Bratique Helene has just recently released the Holiday ’09 collection and sent me their Glenna Wide Strap Camisole to try.

Carissa Rose sizes aren’t like normal sizes – they take your waist and bust measurement into account. The main sizes (small, medium, large, and extra large) all come in two variations – for example, there is a MW (medium well endowed) and a MR (medium really endowed). There are instructions on the size chart in case you’re unsure of how to take your measurements. As soon as you receive your camisole you can tell that it isn’t like other tops – there is room for your boobs! It’s also designed to show off your waist, so it nips in at just the right spot and then flares out a bit so it’s not too fitted on your stomach. True to the name, the straps on this camisole are wider than those on most tanks. I can wear any of my regular bras with it and I didn’t have to bother with strapless or convertible styles. The neckline is higher than most other camisoles, and paired with the wide straps that means this is a modest option which is fine layered under other tops (like any other camisole) or on its own. I wore mine under a shrug Carissa Rose Glenna Camisolebecause it’s getting cold where I live, but I’m sure I’ll wear this on its own when the weather warms back up again! The material is a gorgeous, silky chocolate brown (the camisole is also available in black.)

Carissa Rose is by the same designer as Bratique Helene. The brand is in the middle of a transition to the new name, so the web address (CarissaRose.com) currently redirects to the Bratique Helene website. The official Carissa Rose website will launch at the beginning of the new year. If you are interested in ordering your own Glenna Wide Strap Camisole, or seeing any more of the Holiday ’09 collection from Carissa Rose, visit the label’s blog at this link for contact information. The Glenna Wide Strap Camisole will also be available on the website early next year.

New from Freya Lingerie!

November 19, 2009 by Kelly

Ladies, I am loving this new collection from Freya. Everything is the perfect combination of sexy, cute, and practical! Seductive bedroom numbers are great, but there’s something to be said for something that’s gorgeous and comfortable enough for you to wear all day. True to form, Freya has offerings in sizes up to a J cup this season. There are some old favorites in new colors (Mischa, Jolie, Jessica), totally new ranges in energetic prints, and some fun unexpected extras (like the Estelle cami and the Nadia bustier). Almost every range has 3 or 4 matching bottoms, compared to the standard 2 or 3 from past seasons. Take a look:

The new styles can also be seen in this Freya advert – it has been playing in UK theaters before showings of Fame, but if you live in the US (or just haven’t made it out to the movies in a while) here it is:

You can find these styles at Figleaves (US/UK), Bravissimo, HerRoom, and BareNecessities. Has anyone had a change to try out the Deco t-shirt bra yet? I’m dying to know what you think!
