As a woman “blessed” with larger breasts, bra shopping is the absolute worst.
I can’t count the number I’ve times I’ve been reduced to tears in the changing rooms after attempting to squeeze my 10Es into 15 decent-looking but ill-fitting bras that barely cover a nipple.
In these situations, I’ll inevitably give up and reluctantly spend far too much money on the only bra available that actually fits. Invariably, it’s a frumpy, beige (maybe white if I’m lucky) number that wouldn’t look out of place in an 80-year-old’s laundry basket.
Anything remotely sexy? Don’t make me laugh.
My experience is not isolated. New Zealand-based comedian Charde Heremaia recently posted a video to her Facebook page ranting about the impossibility of shopping for bras for her FFs.
It’s been viewed almost half a million times already, with thousands of shares and comments of people who feel the exact same. (Post continues after video.)
Well, ladies, I think I’ve found the solution. It turns out there is a bra brand that understands women with large boobs don’t actually want to hide them in hideous flesh-coloured sacks; that we too want to feel pretty, sexy, confident and supported. Say hello to EVOLLOVE.
Around since 2012 and specifically designed for D to G cups, these bras are the furthest from dowdy. They’re colourful, available in cool prints, great basics and silk and lace — and the last thing I was expecting to find a few months ago during a typical dreary underwear shop.
I wandered into the Bendon Lingerie discount factory outlet on a whim. It was the January sales and my underwear drawer desperately needed a refresh. I tried on a few bras that took my fancy in DD, which I believed was my size. It was useless.
