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 →
Following on from last year's amazing Modelled by Role Models campaign and the announcement of Olympic boxing champion Nicola Adams as the face of their sports bra, Panache are using International Women's Day to launch their search for their role models of 2016.

October's Lust List is, of course, Halloween related. How could I resist the lure of the spookiest of holidays? Once again, it's underwear (and nightwear) pieces that have caught my eye over the last few weeks for one reason or another... some with more of a seasonal theme than others.

The cute and frilly black satin Lily range is available in sizes 32A-32F, 34A-34F and 36B-36DD, adding four new sizes on top of... Continue Reading →
There was a time when finding gorgeous lingerie above a D cup was hard work. Designs were supportive but not stylish, and ranges were extremely limited. These days, however, as well as big names like Freya and Panache there are also a number of smaller brands that are catering for larger sizes. Here are a... Continue Reading →
In February 2011, I reviewed Bravissimo's fitting service for BitchBuzz. Since then, I have used my increased knowledge of bra sizing whenever purchasing bras, and have returned to Bravissimo many times because of the quality of their service. So, I thought it was worth re-posting my review here. Even if most department stores stock your... Continue Reading →
