BlueBella Elle Mesh Polka Dot Bra

Very nearly perfect

I received this with the matching briefs, which I have also reviewed! I would absolutely recommend buying the set, as they look 110% wonderful when combined!

The bra was my least favourite of the two... Not to say it's bad though! The build quality is wonderful, though it has three clips at the back instead of the standard two, which I have always hated! Just something extra to fiddle with, and more for a partner to undo! The straps were nice and elasticated, though they kept slipping down my arms as all bra straps do on me, regardless of how tight I do them up!

The colours and style are also wonderful. The delicate grey mesh laid over the black and trimmed with creamy ribbon... It's beautiful, really. Possibly the closest I will ever get to feeling like a wealthy lady. I can't say I have ever worn a more elegant bra... Though this one somehow manages to look cute and playful at the same tame. A perfect alluring, teaser bra!

My only problem with this bra lies in the fit. I am normally a 34D, but ordered a C in the hopes of a little more cleavage... I got none. In fact the bra still felt rather big on me... Or just the wrong shape, and really didn't flatter my breasts! I think if you have lovely big, full breasts, this is one for you... But it's not too flattering for the smaller busted among us... On the cleavage front anyway! It also (like the matching pants) pressed in on my ribs a little. It felt like it fit perfectly, but still pushed in, giving an unattractive shape.

Generally though, I adore the bra, and the whole set! It's definitely going to come out of the draw more frequently!
