Lauren Colfer: Star in a Bra 2009 Winner!

August 5, 2009 by Mandolina

Discount online lingerie shop Brastop.com have been searching for DD+, naturally curvy girls to model their Autumn/Winter collection. With a years’ supply of lingerie and a modelling contract up for grabs, Brastop wanted their customers to flaunt their best assets.

Customer Service Manager, Monika Paszek explained why the competition is so important: “Brastop specialise in plus size bras and the average Brastop customer is a size 12/14 with a 34G bust. This customer cannot relate to the models used by most lingerie brands, which tend to be either stick thin, too glamorous and often digitally enhanced. The Star in a Bra competition is a great opportunity for us to find naturally curvy models and for our customers to step into the spotlight and show how gorgeous a fuller figure can look. It could even kick-start a whole new modelling career!”

“The response from the competition was overwhelming. Not only from the amazing number of entries we had, but also from our customers who are delighted to see models they can relate to. We can show how a bra will look on a real curvy figure and customers understand which styles will suit their shape. We want to make the lingerie buying experience an enjoyable one. All women should feel happy with the package they have been given.”

Winner Lauren Colfer says of this all: “I hope that I will be a positive image for all the beautiful, curvy ladies out there who like me, struggle to find pretty underwear that both fits and flatters our curves. I am thrilled to have been voted as the winner and want to thank everybody who supported me in the competition; words cannot describe how happy I am! I’m so proud of being a woman with curves and I am really excited for the year ahead when I get to show them off some more!”

Brastop.com’s Star in a Bra Competition

April 22, 2009 by Kelly

It’s that time of the year again – it’s Brastop’s Star in a Bra Competition! If you’ve ever dreamed of being a lingerie model, this is your chance! Beginning on May 1, 2009, Brastop will start looking for a new woman to be the face (and bust) of the company to model new styles for the DD+ market. To qualify, you must be “confident, gorgeous, and naturally fuller busted.” We’re telling you about this now so that you can start working on your entries! From May 1-22, Brastop will be collecting pictures from all contestants. You must submit 3 pictures of yourself in lingerie or swimwear, and 2 headshots. Then, beginning June 1, Brastop will hand-select the 30 semi-finalists and let the public vote! The 10 finalists from the public vote will be invited to London to participate in a professional photoshoot. All the professional pictures from this photoshoot will be posted for the public to vote once more, and on July 27, the winner of the 2009 Star in a Bra Competition will be named!

Your 5 initial entry photos don’t have to be professional, but they do need to show off your curves! Brastop is looking for a gorgeous everyday woman – not the bodies you see everyday in magazines! To give you some inspiration, here is last year’s winner, Emma:

Curvy Kate Creates Beautiful Bras for a Fuller Bust

November 16, 2008 by Rene

UK company Curvy Kate is trying to serve women with much larger busts.  Their designs go from 28DD to 40J and their knickers go to 18.  Unfortunately, there’s not much else to report about Curvy Kate since their website hasn’t fully launched.  I’m just glad to see a lingerie company catering to women that have hips and tummies to match their bust.  You can find Curvy Kate at UK Retailer Bra Stop (and so far, it only seems Bra Stop despite some referral websites).  Bras are £17.95 and knickers (thong or brief) are £6.95.

Brastop’s Star in a Bra Competition

June 22, 2008 by Kelly

brastopcompetition.jpgOur bustier readers have already learned that Wonderbra is looking for well-endowed models.

If you don’t make the cut for Wonderbra, you should know that Brastop is looking for models, too! Brastop’s new catalogue is launching soon and they are looking for naturally fuller busts to show off their new styles. To be considered, you must be over 18, naturally fuller busted, confident, gorgeous, and passionate about bras. The winner will appear in the Brastop catalogue and website as well as a special feature in Real People magazine, and will receive a makeover and professional photoshoot.

My favorite treat, though, would be the free lingerie set every month for a year! Go to BrastopModels.co.uk to enter the Star in a Bra competition. If you enter, please let us know your experience with the competition in our forums! Hurry, you only have until July 14 to fill out an application.

Fantasie Spring/Summer 2008

February 25, 2008 by Kelly

In many places around the world, spring is almost here (with summer not far behind)! Of course, as I write this I look out of my window and see nothing but snow and ice, but springtime lingerie does get me in the mood for the warmer weather that’s soon to come. Fantasie, one of my favorite everyday brands, is looking towards spring and summer with some great new styles and new versions of old favorites. Fantasie specializes in the rare large cup sizes, and has not disappointed this season with bands as small as 30 and cups as large as JJ! Most of the colors and styles in the Spring/Summer collection are exactly what you’d expect – light, springy, and feminine. But there is also “Anna,” a brand new basics range, and the sultry “Shannon.”

Some styles are already out and some will have to wait a few more months, so be sure to check the website for your favorites. And don’t forget, there is a coupon code on our “Sales” page for £5 off a purchase at Brastop.com, where there are great Fantasie ranges and bathing suits. I just used the code yesterday to buy the pink version of “Gabrielle,” which you can see above in a new heather color for this fresh collection. But hurry, the code is only good through February 27th!
