B.tempt’d this Valentine’s day

Published on January 26, 2011 in Bra features. 0 Comments Tags: , .

Looking for something new this Valentine’s day? Well, take a look at sassy young fashion lingerie brand btemptd – sister brand to the often overlooked Wacoal. They offer a new twist for fashionable chicks and while tailored more to petite ladies their bras are avaialble up to a 36DDD (aka E cup).

The Passion Flower bra and tanga set makes an impact in Bright Violet and in its sheer fabric, is bold and flirtatious. Intricate embroidery playfully skirts the set whilst keyhole details on both the bra and knickers make for an enticing detail.

For a burlesque-inspired celebration, the aptly-named La Parisienne collection transports you to the capital of romance. A sultry yet playful basque plays the principal role supported by flirty hipster pants, a delicate string and garter belt. The soft colourways of Vanilla Ice and the prettiest pink keep this ensemble wonderfully feminine.

As Modelled by Justin Timberlake’s bosom buddy Esmee Denters She says:

I am really excited and honoured to continue working with b.tempt’d, having seen the spring collection which is so sexy, fun and fl irty! The brand speaks to a lot of girls out there who want to be comfortable, but at the same time be fashion forward, even with
their underwear.

And her favourite bra?

One of my favourite pieces in the collection is the La Parisienne bra that I wore on the shoot; I wear pieces like this as performance outfits. You can wear b.tempt’d pieces to spice up an outfi t and easily wear styles like their corsets as outerwear.

Fulfil fantasies this February with the beautiful b.tempt’d lingerie, available from February 2011 in stores nationwide including Selfridges (instore only), Harvey Nichols, Harrods and online store ASOS.com. Also available in the Republic of Ireland at all Brown Thomas stores.

Wacoal : elegance in all shapes and sizes

Lingerie brand Wacoal is renowned for luxury fabrics, exquisite fit and elegant designs. It has just unveiled its new Spring and Summer collection which will give the lingerie addict food for thought as the nights draw before Christmas. The new collection features some fashion pieces, a generous helping of every day essentials and – what they claim to be – the most effective of shapewear available on the market. We’ll also fill you in on the revolutionary new iPant – it does not play music, although it offers seamless (and cellulite-less) performance.

Everyday Essentials

The new and aptly named Absolutely Fabulous (yes, darling) plays a starring role amongst Wacoal’s basics. This bra and brief ensemble supports and comforts and exudes a ‘vintage feel’ with its beautiful lace and mesh detailing. Available in Black and soft Sandshell, this is a gorgeous everyday must. Another newcomer Naturally Strapless, is based on the design of Wacoal’s bestselling Halo Lace strapless, but given a more contemporary look. Invisible underwiring, a beautiful sheen fabric and a bandeau design make this bra both supportive and visually modern with the option to add clear straps.

Petite and big boobs catered for

Renowned for catering for all body shapes and bust sizes, Wacoal presents new styles for both petite figures and the fuller bust. For a smaller bust, a new bra within the label’s Petite range – the T-back Convertible bra has a front clasp, removable pads and thin straps that are fully removable and adjustable to work with all summer outfits. Available from a AA cup, it is given a stylish twist with a removable lace back – which peeps seductively from underneath when wearing a racer back vest.

Women up to a size DDD (aka E cup) will feel fully supported with the new Red Carpet Strapless, which utilises the latest technology in design and fit to support, shape and smooth.

One of the most exciting new additions to the collection is So Sleek – specifically designed for the fuller figure this bra, with its matching hi-cut brief, gives supreme support but minimum fabric feel. The bonded cup has a single ply feel yet the strength of a double ply. The set features beautiful embroidery and is set to become a star piece for women up to a G cup.

New Ultimo busom boosting bra

Published on November 13, 2009 in Bra features. 0 Comments Tags: , , .

British lingerie manufacturer Ultimo has launched a bra this week that it claims to increase a women’s bust by up to two cup sizes by the simple addition of two specially-moulded silicone pouches.

It has been designed to allow women to alter their assets for a night out without needing to change bras. By removing the implants, the wearer can sport a modest look suitable for the office. After-hours, a simple trip to the bathroom to insert the boosters creates a sexy evening look.

Mega Boost Day to Night Bra

Ultimo’s boss Michelle Mone said:

The best thing about the new Mega Boost Day to Night Bra is that you can change your cleavage on a whim and it’s completely hassle free. It’s the perfect solution if you’re heading off after work and don’t have time to go home and change.

Unlike other “chicken fillets”, the inserts in the bra mould to the skin to create a “natural, authentic rounded shape”.

They are also said to be the first silicone boosters that come in their own bra, rather than being sold separately.

The Ultimo Mega Boost Day to Night bra comes in three colours and costs £24 from Ultimo’s own snazzy website www.ultimo.co.uk. No sign of it at other leading lingerie retailers just yet but if you read this little blog at a later date take a look at Ultimo on BraShop and I’m sure stocks will follow shortly to the likes of Figleaves.
