Boob-friendly dresses from Bravissimo

bravissimodresses

Bravissimo has long been the secret haunt of girls with D+ boobs. Stocking all the big brands that cater to larger breasted ladies (Freya, Panache, Kalyani, Masquerade etc) in loads of back sizes (not just large, but small) and providing a measuring service that’s second to none, I know ladies who’ll sing the praises of this shop ’til kingdom come. In fact, I’m one of them! The Bravissimo angels can lift and support even the biggest boobs and sell pretty, not frumpy designs. And as if that wasn’t enough, they also sell special big boob clothing!

Offering up standard UK dress sizes with three choices of chest measurement – curvy, really curvy and super curvy – these clothes aim to avoid that annoying gape or pull that you find on the chest if you squeeze your D+’s into standard sizes. This is particularly useful on dresses and v-neck tops, which often end up revealing far too much bra as the standard cups strain on larger chests. Instead, you get custom-cut coverage, but without having to go bigger elsewhere. Lots are super-fitted and ruched at the waist for a gorgeous hourglass shape, too. The selection of secret support tops and nightwear is also great – after all there’s nothing worse than saggy boobs in bed!

Sizes go from an 8 – 16, so not particularly great if you’re a plus size, but with the generous cup sizes on these babies, you might well be able to fit comfortably into a smaller size than normal, meaning size 18s shouldn’t rule the range out if they have a store nearby where they can try on.

Right now there are various items on sale, including the lovely 40s style spot print dress’ for £39 and the fluted sleeve dress for the same. Outside of the sale, get a bit of Summer daytime chic in the incredibly flattering nautical striped jersey dress for £45.

    Thank you for posting this link! I am very excited to try this store – they seem to have a lot of the staples that I see other non e-cup women everywhere wearing so easily and comfortably, and that I have always wished I could wear too. But shirt dresses? Forget it! Cardigans? Takes hours and hours to find one that doesn’t either pull like crazy or make me look bigger everywhere. Now I stand a chance…

    I like Bravissimo, except that I dont fit in them! :-D
    Shouldnt larger sized bras go beyond the usual 38 back? I'm a 40 and I find it really difficult to get bras that fit and dont look like they're prison issue garments from the early 1900's. I've found Marisota pretty good although their quality is a bit variable. I will swear by Splendour though….PERFECT fit,excellent quality and fantastic designs.
