Little Women's So You bra, £29.25 and briefs, £14.95
Little Women is not a new discovery, but I hadn’t browsed the site in a while and, when I returned to it last month, I found lots of beautiful lingerie sets in my size. If you read my blog regularly you’ll know that one of my central quests is to find small-cup lingerie that’s grown-up, sophisticated and sexy. And, if I can find a bra that meets that tall order, then a matching pair of knickers is probably enough to make me spontaneously combust with excitement!
The lovely folks at Little Women offered me a couple of sets to try*. I chose the So You bra and the Sheer Lace bra and their matching briefs. Originally, I received the bras (beautifully packaged) in a 32AA size, which is my usual size. I was gobsmacked to find that they didn’t fit and my cup runneth over, which is quite a rare experience for me! Little Women prompty despatched the two bras to me in 32A and they fit perfectly. Non-wired and with medium padding, they gave me great shape, support and comfort. If you’re ordering, it might be a good plan to order a cup size larger than your normal size.
In all honesty, I think these bras are the closest I have come to feeling like I am wearing “lingerie” as opposed to “a bra”… since the post-baby shrinkage of my boobs. With great fit, luxurious silky and sheer fabrics, and beautiful detailing and trims, they made me look and feel quite sexy. The cut of the briefs — more true to my size — was perfect. Both comfortable and attractive, these knickers are a delight to wear, with no pinch or ride-up.
Thanks Little Women for cracking a difficult nut — providing lovely, affordable lingerie that makes small-busted women feel as sophisticated and sexy as they deserve.
*I received two sets of lingerie from Little Women. When I receive free products for reviews, this doesn’t guarantee a favourable post, just that I will try the lingerie and let my readers know my honest opinion.
There’s a new team at Perfectly Petite Lingerie and it’s very excited about plans to revitalise its collection of small-busted lingerie with a host of new styles on order for Autumn/Winter.
