Bra Review: Cleavage-Enhancing Shelf Bra; Lavinia Lingerie

info — Wed, 10 Nov 2010 20:05:03 +0000

Modeled after our balcony push up bra, this lightly padded, plus size shelf bra provides the same comfort, support and cleavage-enhancing boost we love, but now boasts a vintage-style combination of red lace and satin. This fashionable retro balconette is accented by a small cameo charm and ribbon applique between the cups.

• Color: Red.

Great Fit. Great Comfort. Great Look. I ordered for my wife. She absolutely loves everything about it. The look, the fit and especially the comfort. It looks great on her and she feels great while wearing it. Thanks!

Stylish and Comfortable Bought this and 6160, I have worn them 2-3 times now, good fit and support. If your finger is hovering over the buy button, dont hesitate any longer, will probably be one of the best buy’s you ever made. Ordered and received within a week, very fast as i live in the U.K. Thank you Lavina Lingerie, I will be buying again from you.

Oh La La Wow, love this bra. Fits great, (I ordered up the cup size as recommended) comfortable and FUN! My Hubby and I both love it! Thank you!

boy toy I bought the bra based on the previous reviews and I loved the color! When it arrived I greeted my boyfriend at the door in a matching red silk robe left open and he was speechless! Now when he sees me in it he knows we’re staying in!

My Wife Loves It!!!!! I bought one of your shelf bras for my wife and she absolutely loves it. She says it is one of the best fitting and by far the most comfy bras she has. Now she wants one in every color.

I LOVE IT!!! I HAVE A HARD TIME FINDING A SEXY BRA THAT WILL FIT ME RIGHT..DID I EVER FIND ONE HERE.MY HUSBANDS EYES ALMOST POPPED OUT OF HIS HEAD..NOT ONLY IS IT A BEAUTIFUL SEXY BRA,THE WAY IT WAS SHIPPED WAS IMPRESSIVE..I OPENED THE PACKAGE AND TOOK THE BRA OUT AND TO MY SURPRISE IT WAS BEAUTIFULLY WRAPPED IN TISSUE PAPER..HOW NICE WAS THAT..I WILL MOST CERTAINLY BUY FROM AGAIN..THAT YOU LAVINIA LINGERIE..YOU HAVE MADE ME FEEL VERY SEXY AGAIN..

Hard to find size! I have what I jokingly call “bottom heavy” breasts w/less voulme on top than I wish, therefore, underwires are a must, as I can not fill full cup bras. After pregnancies, my circumfrance is made up of significant back measurment versus cup size – so it is near impossible to find 40 & 42 sizes in B – not DDD until now. This is well made, looks smoothe & beautiful and makes me look normal & feel sexy. It seems to run slightly on the small size but I had lost a few lbs around the back by the time I got this so it fit.

Wonderful! I love this bra! Worth ever penny. Wish it come in more colors.

Reasons to Add a Shelf Bra to Your Lingerie Drawer

info — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 13:55:16 +0000

At times, it can feel like you have too many options when you look at your collection of bras. When to wear each one can be a little overwhelming. But if you take a second look at the bras in your dresser, you may notice something: They are all more alike than they are different. The problem with most women’s private undergarment selection is that they find one bra style that feels good ”plenty of support, comfortable straps and a good weight of fabric”and they never depart from that same style. Sure, there is a pink one, and a lacy one, and one with convertible straps, but very few women have a true selection of cuts and styles when it comes to their top drawer of the dresser.

It may be time to re-invent your lingerie wardrobe so you will have the right bra for every occasion. A balcony bra, also known as a shelf bra, is a great place to start. Balcony bras have widest straps and coverage that sits low on the chest, so that the upper part of the decolletage is left unobstructed.

Shelf bras are unique in that their wide-set straps that run along the edge of your torso and fall on the outer edges of your shoulders, along with an ample amount of support at the bottom of the chest allow for a surprising amount of support while still leaving you many neckline options. Shelf bras can easily be worn with V-necks, scoop necks, square necks and boat necks. Their semi-circular cups cradle the bottom of your chest, allowing for shaping and support without excessive padding or too much coverage.

Their shape and support are enough to make any woman of any bra size feel sexy and supported. Balcony bras are great every day bras ”they work with business clothing and bombshell date-night dresses. No lingerie drawer is complete without one. Next time you see your stand-by bra peeking out the edge of your open neckline, you will know it is time to buy a balcony bra.
