Scantilly By Curvy Kate Surrender Basque 36HH and Peep Hole Briefs XL

It has been quite some time since I last put fingers to keyboard to put together a proper review blog post. There are many reasons for this: lack of time, work pressures, long-standing health issues, and happenings in my personal life. But there was also another reason. I had fallen out of love with blogging. 

Bravissimo Lola Luxe Basque in Black/Teal 32K and Briefs XL

I am always on the look-out for lingerie other than bras and knickers. In the J+ cup size range there are sadly very few options available so when something comes up I am always incredibly keen to give it a try.

A few months ago a friend of mine sold me her nearly new Bravissimo Lola Luxe Basque in Black/Teal (sells new for £50.00 in sizes 28 DD-J and 30-38 DD-K) with brand new matching briefs and thong. I had checked the item on the Bravissimo website and had fallen head over heels in love with its design and colours:

Esty Lingerie - blog, forum, competition and Flirty Thirtys!

Have you heard of Esty Lingerie before?  They are an online lingerie boutique specialising in independent designers.  I have been following them on Facebook and Twitter for a while now and am always excited by their posts and updates.

They have their own gorgeous lingerie collection which is handmade in the UK, as well as stocking other brands. All in all, they have some very beautiful and appealing items on offer.  For me personally, I am sad that they don't have any bras in my size...but there are plenty of other things available to keep me happy, including basques, corsets, bodystockings, hosiery and swimwear.
