Why did you enter Star in a Bra?

I wanted to enter last year and my friends and family where also encouraging me to do so, but at the time I was feeling a little insecure and had some personal hang ups about my body, I just didn’t have the confidence to see it through. I was kicking myself for the rest of the year for not following my heart and just going for it, and so this year I decided to enter and to do anything that felt good to me.

How did it feel to make the top 30?

It feels absolutely amazing to be picked for the top 30 girls! And honestly a complete shock to the system. I can’t stop smiling and I am truly thankful to of go this far.Its given me a real confidence boost.

With 32E boobs have you found it difficult shopping for good bras?

Most definitely, in the past it has been extremely difficult to find a good bra that fits well, looks good and doesn’t cost a small fortune.Its rather shocking and quit frustrating that even now a lot of stores and brands only go up to a D cup.

Could you share any good bra tips?

My favourite type of bra would be a balcony bra I find it gives me great support and keeps my breast in place and as for brands I would have to say Curvy Kate and Bravissimo are the best by far.

And finally…why should we “vote Charmelle”?

I think I should win because I believe I have the real definition of womanly curves, lumps and bumps and I am proud to say it out loud. After having a child I went up to a size 18 and have managed to lose that weight and get down to a size 10/12 which I am comfortable with and I think I look great, so to win this competition would just be the icing on the cake.Most women are not size 0 and have curvy bodies which are not perfect like myself, and I would love to inspire other women to love there curves and feel good in the skin there in.

Cuvilicious Georgina Horne has no need for push up bras, but she needs your support to win Star in a Bra 2011. Naturally curvy, she also has a fantastic bubbly personality and if she is as popular with the public as she is with the other competitors then she’s a hot favourite.

Why did you take part?

I took part because I am a bit fed up of buying bras a clothes modelled by slim women. Granted, a lot of ladies are slim with smaller boobs, and even slim with big boobs, but what about us plus sized naturally curvy women?! Where is our representation!? I want to be the representation! I am closer to the national average than a lot of models and I want to show how lingerie looks on a larger lady.

You sound pretty passionate, is it hard finding bras?

I found it difficult to fit in the stupid 38FF/40F/38F bras that *some* lingerie shops tried to put me into. Thank goodness Bravissimo realised I am a 36H/34HH-J (in Freya) and that they do sexy amazing bras! I HATE the high prices but still manage to have about 30 sets ;)

Do you any bra buying advice for other curvy women?

I Love Freya – I couldn’t live without my 36GG Decos in purple, red, nude, black, milkshake, leopard, strapless!!! Haha! I wish they did my actual size but I can get away with that size. And I love Curvy Kate, naturally – I have 6 different Tease and Thrills and my bf is in AWE haha!!!

Why should you win Star in a Bra 2011?

I should win because Curvy Kate already has models who are size 8-12 ish, I want to be the one to represent plus size large knockered sexy ladies!!!

It seems competitions are the only thing worth writing about right now. In fact Bra Selector’s homepage is beginning to look like an ITV TV schedule. However, it is with good reason that we’re covering the Triumph Inspiration Award in the UK – time for some uber-fashion lingerie ideas.
