Lula Lu passionately wants them to feel confident and look their best. What a great ethos.

Like what you hear? In that case, you’ll be thrilled to hear that the people at Lula Lu have offered a great prize for our latest competition. Read all about it:

Meet Layla. She can be dark and sultry, or pale and delicate. She’s beautiful, stylish, elegant, bold, sexy: a real showstopper. Here’s the twist: Layla’s not a woman, but a beautiful set of lingerie in the Lula Lu Petites collection (see below). And it could be yours if you write the winning entry in our competition.

To Win: All you have to do is write “Layla” a short love letter, giving three reasons why you love her. Simply use the comment box below to send her your impressive missive, witty ditty or doting note before the competition closing date: May 16th, 2010 (Midnight GMT).

Meet the stunning Layla: that's the lingerie, not the model

The Prize: The elegant Layla push-up bra — available in sizes 30AA, 30A, 32AA, 32A, 34AA, 34A, 36AA and 36A — is made from beautiful two-tone lace. It’s lightly padded, underwired and has removable push-up pads. The gorgeous set is completed with sheer stretch-lace bikini panties — in sizes S (US 0-2), M (US 4-6), L (US 6-8) — with sexy spaghetti strap sides and comfy microfibre back. The winner will receive this gorgeous luxury lingerie set, worth $88, in ivory or black, in the size of their choice.

An SBBH reader asks, “I’m looking for pretty non-padded bra, something lacy and lovely. All AA bras seem to be heavily padded or filled with liquid. I don’t want my bust to look big.”

Say what? You’re happy being small-busted? This seems incomprehensible to a lot of folks — among them, some lingerie manufacturers. But I totally see where this reader is coming from. Not all small-busted women aspire to be more voluptuous. Some are happy with their bodies as they are and feel no urge to “hoist em up” or boost their cup size with padding or gel.

Which leaves lingerie with only one role: to make its wearer feel like a squillion dollars. So, off I trotted to put my reader’s question to some of my favourite champions of small-cup lingerie. And here are their recommendations for unpadded, gel-free, beautiful bras-for-bras-sakes:

Marks and Spencer: “Our Limited Collection bras are very pretty. They are lightly padded, but this is more about giving the bra some shape, rather than giving the wearer a bigger bust.”

Perfectly Petite Lingerie: “Bralettes are great for the petite bust — a cross between a bra and a bikini top. They’re unwired and made from stretch fabric, so they are very comfortable. I recommend the very pretty lace-trimmed Itty Bitty Bralette.”

A Little Something Fit: “Our favorite non-padded bra is Timpa’s Duet Lace underwire demi bra. It’s a beautiful style with cups made from sheer mesh with a scalloped lace trim. The A-cup fits most AA-cups.”

Eve’s Apples: “I recommend the Eberjey India bralette: it’s lacy, elegant, comfortable and versatile. It looks good on all body and breast shapes, including shallow breasts and petites.”

Lailides: “I recommend our Serenade bra, which is non-padded, made from really beautiful lace and just lovely. It’s very comfortable and gives the bust a totally natural shape, which is not pushed-up or enhanced.”

Dainty Lady: “We make a great range of natural looking, lightly padded bras, with no gel. Our Fleur bra, Passion Flower bra and Magnolia bra all fit the bill. All the bras we make (by hand) have a soft, very comfortable 5mm foam lining, with small pockets and soft pads.”
