Small bust, big heart

Sitting here in my new Atlantis Jerry Balconnet Bra and matching hipster shorts (with clothes on top), I simply have to share with you how super duper they are.  The vintage floral design looks like a pattern you might find on a 70s teapot (but in a good way).  The cut of the bra is excellent, with wonderfully moulded cups that are both comfortable and curve-enhancing.  The shorts are the most comfy knickers I’ve worn in ages.  Cute, neat and not a hint of a wedgie. 

Sexy? Maybe not in the classic lace and frills type of way.  But fun, flirty and well-cut… and I feel fabulous, so go get ‘em.

When Nicola at Perfectly Petite Lingerie first chatted to me about the “new for Autumn 2010″  small cup bras from Panache Atlantis, she described them as fabulous. Available in AA-C cups at Perfectly Petite, the selection includes basics and problem-solving designs, which Nicola thought were spot on for her small-busted customers. Was this enthusiastic sales patter, or a real breakthrough for us little-chested ladies? Nicola challenged me to decide for myself — and promptly despatched the Wire Free Bra for me to road test. Here’s what I thought:

Panache Atlantis Solutions wire free bra, £18, Perfectly Petite Lingerie Seller's blurb: This wire free bra is part of the "enhanced" range from Panache Atlantis Solutions. Using graduated foam cups, it offers subtle shaping and lift with a smooth finish. Available black, nude and white, in cup sizes AA-C, and from 30 for band width.
Looks	On the peg, this bra looks like a good quality, but very simple, T-shirt bra. The fabric has a satiny sheen and the sweetheart shape of the cups looks cute. On a small-busted woman, the look is more impressive. It gives oomph: not mindblowing cleavage, but a nice roundness that's gratefully received.	4/5
Fit	I tested a 32AA cup size and the fit is immaculate: no straps digging in, perfect cup size and comfortable band. Just like a second skin.	5/5
Comfort	Comfort can't be faulted with this bra. There are no niggles at all -- in fact, I'm finding it hard to part with it on "wash day".	5/5
Uplift	The graduated foam cups provide a "shelf", gently lifting the bust to create a natural, but fuller looking chest.	5/5
VERDICT	Overall, a really great, everyday bra, offering a smooth, gently curvy look underneath clothing, as well as excellent comfort.	19/20
