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 →
Review: Starlet by Curvy Kate
Those lovely ladies at Curvy Kate have been at it again, designing gorgeous underwear that I just can't wait to get my hands on! When I first saw the Starlet set in a gorgeous teal shade with purple trim that they've called 'petrol', I knew I had to have it. Not only does the bra... Continue Reading →
Lacey Nicholas: Fat, sex and comfort zones
Sex has always been a huge part of my life. Over the years, and thanks to a string of one night stands and varying lengths of relationships, I've successfully managed to notch up a fairly substantial number of partners. I never really dwelled too much on society's perceptions of what the implications of having it... 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 →
My relationship with Evans
Back in 2009, I had a different attitude to the size of my body and the clothes which covered it. In my 20s I had always told myself - however stupid it might sound now - that I'd take healthy eating and exercise a bit more seriously if I ever reached a size 16. Except,... 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 →
