• Definitely looks like an aliexpress type of site. I've seen those bras on there before too. I'd assume they're the same.

• The only insights I have to offer is that I have seen these types of bras on eBay and they also show up in my local thrift stores . Not sure if it's because I live in a high Asian population area or they are items that didn't work for the person who ordered online . However I have always looked at how made ... good quality , you can tell they are hand made , using nice fabrics , they tend to be heavy fabrics of good quality , highly padded usually . I think they must run small ..visually they never appear to be as large as the size indicates however of course I haven't measured . Most are push up .. even the wireless .

Avocado Nina

Just read on Avocado's FB page that their K-cut Nina bra is available again while stocks last. It comes in both a black and a gorgeous "pearl-beige" colorway! Not sure I know enough about the K cut to be confident ordering myself, but thought I would post in case anyone else is interested I think it's such an elegant and luxe design!

• Oh man, I love the Nina. Looooove it. My wallet does not. Sigh.

• lcl0706 Yep, I'm in the same predicament. Sooooo gorgeous, but I'm unfamiliar with the cut and not sure it's worth the risk if it doesn't work out.

• I csn't wait to try them. I'm interested in the fact that they have different cuts instead of just one molded style.

  But in looking at the 1st bra, I see it says in 28E, 30DD 32DD the wires are harder. That scares me. I don't want harder wires.

• I'm all about this. Although I don't understand why the wires are harder in the 28E/30DD/32DD range. That doesn't seem necessary

A brafitting article that spreads good info!

Today I found reason for brafitting optimism on lifehacker.com. I don't agree with everything in "Your Bra Size Is a Myth" by Beth Skwarecki, and she only touches on the variables we deal with on Bratabase, but she gets a lot right. Significantly, she stresses band size is related to the underbust measurement, NOT including your breasts. This may correct a lot of misperceptions stemming from people getting mismeasured at Victoria's Secret!

Your Bra Size Is a Myth

In a world of vanity sizes and mysterious designations like “medium,” you usuall

• Yay, I love these posts. I hope Hettie ends up working for me (I have one on the way) because I'd like the gray colorway. I love gray in lingerie. I am not thrilled that the Breeze is in leopard print; I find it very boring and predictable. I doubt Minnie will work for me shape wise, but I love the style and it's one of my favs from this collection and previous years as well. I like the print more than the SS17 one. I hope the Devon comes out in the burgundy as pictured. I don't think I can manage a true plunge, but Devon has me interested.

• Another red Marcie. They've done raspberry, pink, burgundy, red, and now Scarlet. Come on Cleo. Heather grey would be nice. White. Lavender. Lemonade. Hunter green. Even better - chocolate brown. Not the 16th shade of red.

  That said, I like the Kayla and the Hettie, although I've never tried either bra.

Flash sale on my listings

For a limited time I'm offering free UK shipping on most of my bras and/or only ~$5 shipping to the US (the ones shipping from the UK). I may only be in the UK for a short time, so I've also cut the prices down to try and move them along. All are BNWT, 28FF/G/30F range (Freya and a Panache Sport). If you'd like anything, let me know as soon as you can and I can get them mailed out pretty quickly.

Panache AW17

I was given new Panache brochure for season autumn/winter 2017 that is presented at tradeshows in these days. So I was thinking that maybe you also want to look at this new season More posts about Cleo, Panache Black, Sport and Sculptresse coming soon.

Today's post is about Panache and their lingerie for season Autumn/Winter 2017. Just in these day several trade shows where brands introduce their newest collections for winter 2017 are held. I'm (and also you're ;-) ) so lucky that I ...

• Oooh! Thanks for sharing.

• I'd really like to try the new colorway. I think I might be too lacking in upper fullness for Hettie, though :(

• I saw this the other day. I really want the red bra. 😫😫

• They won't make the grey demi in a plunge so I'ma ask for it from Comexim next month.

• Some women with very dark skin have a bluish or purple cast to their tone so maybe navy works as a nude for them? Not sure though. I'm pasty pink so I'm no expert.

• Yeah I thought that perhaps that could be true, like with taupe, but I'll have to get more feedback from POC who try it before we can add it to ABTF's Bras For POC guide.

  Hopefully they bring out more sizes in the bra shades they already have too

Helen Kukovski expanded their size range! New sizes in brackets!

Their site uses US sizing, and they now use "F" instead of "DDD"

[28 B - K] - UK 28 B - H
30 AA-F [G - K ] - UK 30 AA - H
32 AA - F [G - J] - UK 32 AA - GG
34 AA - F [G - I] - UK 34 AA - G)
36 AA - ... F [G - H] - UK 36 AA - FF)
38 A - F [G] - UK 38 A - F
40 A- F - UK 40 A - E

The gore on this one looks quite narrow on the top:

• Did they use to use DDD in the past? Let me know so I also add that to the brand. That way if a user tries to add an old bra from them that has DDD on its label before they changed the site will recognize it.

• Also, where did you find that UK translation chart? I don't find it on their site:
  http://helenkukovski.com/en/footer_customer_sizeguide

  As to know what is their version of UK that they decide to use. Link and I'll add it to the translations so it shows here http://www.bratabase.com/browse/helen-kukovski/size-range/sizing/

UK people: Matalan have 32 - 44 DD-FF bras from £3-£12 right now!

(Their "G" is a UK FF as they skip FF)

I have my eyes on this 32FF(G)

I guess the quality won't be great but this bra is only £5 so it doesn't really matter!

Ava Lingerie has a 3 part half cup ?! Is it a new cut?

What do we reckon? It looks quite wide in the cup to me and the neck edge binding may make it unsuitable for Fuller On Top boobs.

The size range is

65 E,F,G,H,I,J
70 D,E,F,G,H,I,J
75 B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I
80 B,C,D,E,F,G,H
85 B,C,D,E,F,G
90 B,C,D,E,F
95 B,C,D,E
100 B,C,D

• Another floral pattern that I like. I keep seeing Ava bras that I want to try, but I need really narrow cups and I can only wear a 65 if it runs tight.

• xuenylom and letstalkaboutbras when you look at the page of the bra http://avalingerie.pl/pl-pl/model/av-1533-julieta-balkonetka,773 theres another little picture http://avalingerie.pl/uploads/products/585b9f04cf140Balkonetka_CAMELIA.png this is avas way of informing you the construction was used before. The camelia is discontinued but the summer collection will have 5 balconnettes. This being the first one on sale so far.

  http://avalingerie.pl/pl-pl/model/biustonosz-av-1202-camelia-balkonette,431 This is the old one. I actually own it but didn't think it would be worth measuring out. But since its coming back big time I will though.

  Also...according to size charts at 72cm underbust I SHOULD be a 70. But I'm a 65. A 70 just feels too loose. I don't know your measurements but comexim comments on this phenomenon when they state NOT to size down a band in their brand.

Some news about blog

Scharminkeltje here. I changed my username here to MiskiDwie, which my blog's name, to end the neverending confusion fest of 'why is this account linked to a random blog?'

From now I will also add the bras of my co-blogger, Magda, as she is in a completely different size range, about 32HH. Figured it might help out here ... alt=":)" /> I will also have her reviews translated and will post them here. For now I have to work on following bras:

32HH - Scantilly » Showtime Balcony Bra (ST2901)
70J - Ava » Crystal (AV1396)
32HH - Cleo » Piper Longline Balconnet Bra (9351)
32HH - Cleo » Blake Balconnet Bra (9151)
32HH - Shock Absorber » Active Multi Sports (4490)

• OMG, just when I thought I don't need another bra! <3

• I like it but I don't love it.

  And my New Years resolution was to be a little more financially responsible, so I don't see myself getting it anytime soon.

• I don't have any advice, other than try looking on eBay to see if you can find it? Or you can google the 6 digit number that should be on the tag

• Have you tried the Exxtreme from Frederick's of Hollywood? You might do well with that one in comparison. Or, you can do a search by measurements on here.
