Dishearteningly Dear - All Undone Lottie Review in 28GG

Ever since I found out about All Undone I have fallen in love with their aesthetic. The sleek lines, bright colours and high quality materials have put them at the top of my wishlist for years. One thing held me back though - whenever the bras were reduced in price to within my budget, they were made nonreturnable. I did some research and found out that this is against the law in the UK (where the company is based), so I contacted them about it and they updated their policy. Great! Unfortunately the Lottie is a major disappointment. I got it for £31.60 plus shipping from their sale, its usual price is a whopping £79! Design: I can't fault the design on paper, I love how this bra looks - the colours go together so well and I love the lack of extraneous embellishments. I like the gold metal hardware too. Silk was a nice touch and I like the idea of using powernet (usually used for bra bands) as the decorative mesh on the cup, as that means the bra has some flexibility and the mesh ...

I will be the coolest kid! — Comexim Graffiti Review in 55M

Comexim's designs don't often inspire me. However, as a connoisseur of all things fun - underwear or otherwise - I just had to buy this bra as soon as I saw it. A graffiti print longline? SIGN ME UP! I ordered the bra in a 55M with the "deeper cups" and "reduced cup height" alterations (though I have no way of telling if they were done or not). I paid 149 zloty for it, a little over £30, plus shipping. Design:   Sorry for the low quality image! My phone just wasn't cooperating with me today! Be still, my beating heart. I adore this print and the vibrant colours. Although the gore floats - LOOK AT THAT CLOCK CHARM! I love it! Plain bows are so overdone, give me a charm any day! While I really like the block of graffiti print below the cups, unfortunately, the rest of the band and the inside of the bra is just boring black, which does make me a bit sad. However, would adding more colour just bring it over the top?  The straps are just embellished bl...

Take a Bow - Cleo Della Review in 28G

I so wanted this bra to work. After the unprecedented success of Cleo Blake, I've been super willing to try more Cleos. Sadly, it just wasn't to be. I ordered this bra from Lingerie Outlet Store on Amazon for £19.90. Unfortunately, the bow fell off immediately as I put the bra on. Upon closer inspection I couldn't find any loose threads in the gore, and the threads on the bow were messy, so this was a manufacturing error rather than the bra getting damaged in transport. I contacted them the seller, and after asking for photographic proof, they offered me a 30% discount or a refund. I opted for the refund, based on how the bra doesn't fit. Design: I think this bra looks super cool -  I love the black wire channels. The bow really lifts the design, and the surprisingly sheer fabric makes the flowers stand out a lot. I just wish the pattern was carried onto the back as it's just a plain, boring (but slightly sheer) black. Construction: Aside from the bow, this bra is w...

Deep n Wide - Not Another Tutti Rouge Nichole Review in 28G

I'm gonna admit to being a hipster here - I wanted to review this bra  before  it was cool! And then I ended up procrastinating in both buying the bra and reviewing it, go me. (I have procrastinated SO MUCH guys, I bought this bra in September and now it's November!) I snagged the Nichole off brastop for £15, found a discount code online which took off 11% from that, and paid £3.95 shipping, bringing the total to £17.30. Nice. However I have recently become aware of some really body shaming tweets made by brastop's twitter account so I will no longer be purchasing from that site. After seeing other people say how deep it runs, I went down to a 28G and I'm glad I did! Design: This bra was advertised as ~~powder blue~~ so I was expecting a pale, slightly more turqoisey than baby blue, colour but still definitely blue. What arrived was a distinctively turquoise bra. To be fair the colour looks nicer on than just laying flat but be aware that it is definitely not powder blu...
