There’s a bra to suit every pair of boobs. But finding the right one can be tricky. And the thing is you can try one on and think it’s great. Two hours in, you want to rip it off. Don’t get me wrong I do have some great fitting, all dayers, but the majority of my every day bra wear comes in the form of crop tops. Which is why, when Tutti Rouge got in touch and asked if I’d like to try some large cup bralettes from their Rougette range I was so excited!
I tried two sets the first being the Sasha Bralette. It’s a cheeky little fishnet number that you can just pop on over your head. No fastenings or fiddly bits, which for someone like me who can have dexterity issues is a god send. But what sets this apart from those sad old stretchy crop tops you can pick up from the supermarket is that it’s stylish. You don’t have to compromise.
Although this is a sexy little post, in all seriousness – if you do have problems with fastenings; maybe you’ve got pain issues or you have a disability that means traditional bras feel impossible, these bralettes will be the answer to your prayers!
Truth time: are the babs sky high? No. Do I feel mega supported and perky? No. But do I feel sexy, comfortable and confident? Hell yes! Saggy boobs are nothing to hide or be ashamed of. Not everyone needs northernly pointed boobs. But what I do need is comfort with a stylish edge and that is what these beauties deliver.
The second of the sets I tried out was the Eva. It’s a devastatingly gorgeous set with a little more support than the Sasha. But unfortunately for me the sizing was a little off. I think I would need to size up in both back and cup size for this one to work on me. It looks great in the pics but one false move and I’d have a wayward tit in a blink.
Sizing issues aside, the design is gorgeous. I love the mix of floral lace and polka dot. For reference I am a 38FF and went for the 38FF/G options.
I was so pleased with the items Tutti Rouge sent that I went straight back on to the website and purchased two more bralettes. I went for the Phoenix bralette which is a similar style to the Sasha and the Madison leopard print bralette which unlike the others I tried fastens in the back but is so soft and comfortable and offers a little more support than the others.
Have you tried a bralette? Are you concerned about keeping the boobs in check?
