As someone who has squishy bits, I can't help but look at the models when I'm looking at photographs of clothing. When they are roughly the same shape as you, there's no real need to look at anything other the garments, as the way it fits them is probably going to be the way it... Continue Reading →
Playful Promises’ new Curve range
Following the success of their fuller bust collection, and after requests for bigger back sizes, London-based lingerie brand Playful Promises have launched their first Curve range. With lashings of typically flirty Playful Promises style, the collection includes bra sizes from 38 B-G and 40-42 C-G, and a larger range of briefs UK sizes 18-24. While... Continue Reading →
Tara Starlet’s new ‘Starlet Curvy’
I've got a few vintage-inspired pieces from Tara Starlet in my wardrobe and have always loved their super cute take on retro styles. Taking inspiration from the 40s, 50s and 60s, designer Tara Scott mixes classic styles with quirky prints and a beautiful colour palette to produce her eye catching collections, and now she's gone...

Nicky Rockets’ “Killer Curves” T-Shirts
I love reviewing things here on Rarely Wears Lipstick, but it always has to be something that I think is worth reviewing. If I'm going to spend the time to wear/use something, take photos and write a blog post, it needs to be for a product that fits well with me and my blog. A... Continue Reading →
Review: Beauty-Full by Triumph
I discovered on my recent visit to their pop-up shop that Triumph recently launched their Beauty-Full range for DD+ cup sizes (see right). Specifically engineered to provide comfort and support with style for larger cup sizes, this was definitely a range I needed to try out. Despite all the gorgeous lace and embroidery on show,...

Review: Daily Boost by Curvy Kate
As you may have noticed from a review I posted earlier this year, I have only recently discovered the large cup lingerie brand Curvy Kate and, following my initial encounter, have somewhat fallen in love with them. Treating 'curvy' as a shape rather than a size, this British brand aims to "make curvy girls feel... Continue Reading →
Curvy Kate AW13
Last week I attended a preview of Curvy Kate's A/W 2013 collection. Curvy Kate was launched in 2009 and specialise in D-K cup bras (28-44 back size), but are unusual in that most of their bras are available in the full size range. They have also recently launched a swimwear range. This is great news... Continue Reading →
Review: Tempt Me by Curvy Kate
Ever since I learned how bras should actually fit (see Fuller Figure Fuller Bust's Facebook page for a helpful video), I have been on the look out for pretty bras in larger sizes. More specifically, pretty bras with some sort of moulding or light padding in order to 'balance me out' - helping me look... Continue Reading →
Review: SLiNK Magazine
I first discovered SLiNK magazine back in August last year, and was really taken with the concept. With the tag line "Styling Your Curves, Fashioning Your Life", SLiNK provides a fashionable magazine to women who can sometimes find it hard to relate to what they see on the pages of ELLE or Grazia. Women with... Continue Reading →
