Cleo By Panache Maya Balconnet Bra 36J and Briefs 18

I recently reviewed the very pretty Cleo By Panache Minnie Red Spot Balconnet Bra and Briefs on my blog; today I'm lucky enough to be able to review another set sent to me by the very generous Panache team.

Cleo By Panache Minne Red Spot Balconnet Bra 36J and Briefs 18

It's been quite some time since I wrote a lingerie review on my blog so when the lovely people at Panache contacted me to ask if I'd like to review something from their Cleo range I jumped at the chance.

Panache's Cleo range is described as being 'crafted for fit; styled for fun' and I'd completely agree with this. The vibrant prints and colours are varied and exciting, and perhaps typically appeal to a younger customer, but as the fit is so superb I know these sets are worn by women of all ages.

The Cleo Minnie Red Spot (bra available in sizes 28-38 D-J, briefs and thong available in sizes 8-18 (UK)) is a pretty red and white set featuring my beloved polka dots:

The Perfect Cami

I have always had a problem with finding dresses and tops with sufficient boob room for my big breasts. So many items would look lovely if only they had more coverage over my chest. It's not a good look to have one's bra showing but in order to make sure this did not happen I have previously had to opt for high necklines, which I am not a great fan of, or sizing up to fit my boobs, meaning that the fit elsewhere was oversized and baggy.

Fairly early on in my boob-clothing journey I found that I could wear a thin vest underneath tops and dresses to cover my modesty. However, this meant wearing an extra layer and in warmer months or in centrally heated environments this could be pretty uncomfortable. It also changes the appearance of clothing as the neckline looks very different but at least it meant I didn't have to settle for poorly fitting clothing any more.

AX Paris Curve V Front Lace Dress Navy 18

I recently received my latest item to review from the wonderful AX Paris.  I have been trying to select a range of different items from the brand in order to try out clothes I perhaps wouldn't normally or to see how different cuts work for me.

On this occasion, I decided to have another try from the AX Paris Curve range, which stocks items from 16 to 26 (UK).  I was spoilt for choice - such a wealth of pretty dresses!

In the end, I settled on the AX Paris Curve V Front Lace Dress in Navy in a UK size 18.

Panache Cleo Marcie Bra in Red 34J and 36J

I have long been a fan of the Cleo lingerie range by Panache.  Their designs are young, fun and a bit different.

I've previously reviewed the Cleo Zia in 32J and found the cups too small so when I saw the Cleo Marcie at a bargainous price on Amazon I knew I had to give it a whirl.

Ewa Michalak PL Milady 30L/65L and Briefs 16/44

I have not written a lingerie review for a little while.  The reason for this is that for a time I did not have any new lingerie, nor had I tried anything on, so there was nothing to write about.  However, I'm delighted to report that I have had several deliveries of gorgeous new lingerie arrive within days of each other so you can expect quite a few blog posts about it over the coming weeks!

It's been a few months since I last wrote an Ewa Michalak review.  Fortunately, one of my recent lingerie deliveries was a selection of EM items to try, including this beauty: the Ewa Michalak PL Milady:

My quest for a sleep bra: Royce Jasmine Nursing Bra

It's been quite some time since I tried a new bra as part of my quest to find a sleep/house bra.  Essentially, I am looking for a bra that is comfortable enough to wear around the house and sleep in if I wish.  In my cup size (KK/L) this has proven almost impossible to find, particularly with the fact that a non-wired bra would be my preference as I find it terribly uncomfortable to sleep in a wired bra.

Some months ago, I visited Leia Lingerie at Bluewater with Georgina from Fuller Figure Fuller Bust.  We received excellent service from store manager Leigh and our fitter Annie and they were aware of my search for a sleep bra.  They suggested I try a nursing bra from Royce called the Jasmine.

Ewa Michalak PL Carmen

For a while now, I have been finding that my 36J/HH and 34J Ewa Michalak bras have been feeling too loose in the band.  This has made me sad because I love these bras so much...but wearing a bra with too loose a band is no good, regardless of how pretty it may be.  *Sob*

You can imagine my delight when Ewa very kindly agreed to send me some new bras to review.  I was thrilled to be able to try one of the bras I have lusted after for some time now: the PL Carmen.

Ewa Michalak CH Perelka

I already own the Ewa Michalak PL Perelka and love the fact it's a new, very feminine take on the nude bra so when I saw it was available in the CH (halfcup) style, I was keen to try it out.


I had already added the PL Violet to my shopping basket on the Dopasowana website so it made sense to throw the CH Perelka in there as well as I'd be paying 27 zlotys for postage regardless of the size of my order.
