Nighttime Support for Big Busts

July 8, 2009 by Kelly

If your chest is on the larger side, you may struggle (as I do) with getting enough at night. Plenty of women love the freedom they feel going bra-less while sleeping, but for me it is just plain uncomfortable! I know I’m not the only one, either, as lingerie manufacturers have begun offering more sleepwear with built-in cups and support. Here are a few options.

For lounging around the house or even during the day, Figleaves D-G has solid-color underwire camisoles sold in bra sizes. Pair these with your favorite pajama shorts or lounge pants. If you are interested in this cami, be sure to check out our sales page for a coupon code good on Figleaves D-G items! (Edit: Uh oh! Looks like the coupon code expired this morning.)

If you’re looking for something a little prettier, HerRoom has these sweet options from Patagonia, Fleur’T, and Natori.

Want a nightgown instead? Bravissimo has fun patterened options with soft bra support. The white cotton broderie anglaise version will be available at the end of the month.

If your style is a little more glam, Rhonda Shear has you covered. Her sexy creations have built-in support, often incorporating the shelf bra bands into a keyhole back design. You can find Rhonda Shear at HerRoom.

What Shirts to Wear If You Have a Large Bust

February 27, 2009 by Rene

Carissa Brown from Bratique Helene defines a full bust as a narrow rib cage (28-40 back size) with a DD+ cup size, otherwise a misses sized body, but with a bust-line that doesn’t fit button-up shirts. What can the full-busted woman wear to flatter her figure? Bratique Helene and Bravissimo have several options for shirts and blouses.

On the left is a camisole inspired shell from Bratique Helene that works well under a jacket or blazer. Carissa is proud that you can take your jacket off and still be confident that you are covered and cute. Find it in steel and dark teal for $60.00. On the right “is the shirt that started it all”. Bratique Helene says this shirt can go from PTA, to the office, and out for a romantic date. It has a spread collar, one button cuff, and front fastening hooks. Find it for $90.

Bratique Helene also creates this wrap shirt that actually wraps around & under the boobs all the while enhancing your waist. It has a hidden button closure on the wrap side with a slit sleeve. It is made of cotton and spandex and in pink or blue for $80. Find out more about Bratique Helene’s sizing for the Endowed and Really Endowed.

From Bravissimo, this is the classic white shirt. It has a cut away collar and a waistband which will emphasise your curves. Find it for £34.50. On the right, Bravissimo offers this white pattern top. It is tailored to accommodate your boobs with pleat details under the bust. Find it for £36.00

On the left is a new version of the classic Bravissimo shirt shape. It has princess seams in the bust and an empire panel. It gathers in the back and is in a terrific pinstripe. Find it for £35.00. On the right, the front twist top by Bravissimo. It is a jersey top with a softly tailored empire line. It is £25.50.

Lepel Lingerie Spring/Summer 2009

February 24, 2009 by Kelly

We’ve mentioned Lepel on The Lingerie Post before, but never in much detail and we haven’t really shown you many pictures. The Spring/Summer 2009 collection is a great time to amp up our coverage, with the perfectly spring-appropriate range full of fresh colors, airy and blossoming designs, delicate embroidery, and everyday casual styles. This new collection looks perfect to wear as everyday underwear – it’s not so fancy that you wouldn’t want to wear it during the day, but it’s still pretty enough that you’ll want someone to see you in it when you get home! With bras in sizes up to a G cup and panties up to size 18, almost everyone will be able to find something to fit and flatter. Here are some of my favorites:

First up, the Dusk style features oversized florals in lilac and midnight blue. The satin plunge bra makes a set with boyshorts or a thong.

Secret Garden is light and airy with delicate lace and ruffles adorned with an embellished floral design.

The fresh Sasha set includes a padded bra and boyshorts or a string in soft neutrals and energizing coral.

Firm favorite Athena is stylish and sweet with polka dots and soft scallops.

There are plenty of other new designs, so keep your eye on Figleaves UK, Debenhams, Bravissimo, House of Fraser, and Fenwicks, as well as your local boutique, to find your own favorite styles for spring!

Bravissimo Exclusives

May 3, 2008 by Kelly

Bigger-boobed ladies usually have their staple favorite brands. After all, there are only a handful of brands that cater to the above-DD crowd. I do more than my fair share of combing through the websites of my trusty favorites, waiting to see the new styles available in my size. But if you’re not checking out Bravissimo’s selection, you are missing out! They have many styles, made by your favorite lines, that are Bravissimo-exclusive (so you won’t find them anywhere else). Some of these exclusive products are styles that you can find from other vendors, but in colors made only for Bravissimo. Others are whole style ranges that you cannot find elsewhere. I personally think some of these Bravissimo-exclusive sets are the prettiest these brands have to offer (like the Panache “Sienna” set, which I just ordered for myself!).

Miss Mandalay Lingerie – A/W 2007

August 7, 2007 by Bert

Miss Mandalay lingerie has been designed exclusively for women with a full bust and small back measurement, with the support where it is needed yet with elegant design and sexy style in mind. Designer and founder, Lorraine Morton launched Miss Mandalay after becoming frustrated by the underwear & swimwear on offer to women like herself, who found it difficult to find pretty underwear due to their large cup size, but small frame.

Miss Mandalay’s high-end boutique collection is simply called “Miss Mandalay” and includes a fantastic range of luxury lingerie in gorgeous bright colours including emerald green, ginghams, pale and deep pinks and classic black silhouettes, made from top fabrics and available in sizes 30”B-36”G. This Autumn will also see the second season of Miss Mandalay’s diffusion line called “Little Miss” which offers beautiful ‘everyday’ fashion lingerie that still has a strong emphasis on style and fit.

Colourways in this collection include plenty of deep hues such as midnight blue, scarlet red and hot pink but also incorporates clean and crisp dazzling white on the opposite end of the spectrum! Underwear in the “Little Miss” range will be on sale at leading lingerie retailers including Bravissimo and Figleaves and will be available in sizes 28”D-38”G.
