Bali Bras - Bali Minimiser Bra #3562

February 04, 2010


Bali Bras are hugely popular with us bigger busted beauties.  The Bali Minimiser Bra #3562 is one of the best selling underwear items with amazon at the moment.  But, is it really any good?  What do real women say about it.  We certainly know it isn't the prettiest minimiser bra around (that award - here at least - goes to the Lilyette #921 Seamless Minimiser.  But since it promises to cut bust size by up to 1 1/4 inches and I know some ladies at least would like to reduce the appearance of their ample bosom, it sells, and boy does it sell well.

Bali Minimiser Bra Review
Okay, so what are the attributes of the Bali Bra in question?  Well, firstly it is not that expensive.  Now I am not going to say this is a budget big bra because we know they simply do not exist - well not if we want them to also be any good at managing our big busts.  But it is a pretty economical buy and at the moment it looks like there are some good offers around too, with Bali Bras Discounted via the link above.

Secondly, they have super soft wide shoulder straps that are cushiioned to totally prevent grooves and marks.  Tiny ladies just would not appreciate what a difference good straps make for a bigger bra. 

It is hopefully a modern stylish design made to look like satin.  Whether you agree is a personal one I guess.  For me, the seams are a bit 'showy' with the shiny satin appearance but then I have always been fussy about my big bra seems showing.  Maybe that ones just me.

There are a few colors available (though not loads), covering all the usual bases - white, nude, black, navy, vanilla (that would be cream to us though) and rosewood?  Where do these names come from, honestly!

The sizing is not too bad either, with most colors widely available from a 34C to a 44G.  Though as ever there can be stocking issues of the really large sizes, but we are used to that are we not?

Bali Minimiser Bra Customer Reviews
More important, than what the Bali Bras are 'supposed' to do, is what real women actually find they do, do.   The reviews from customers really speak for themselves.  With 33 reviews written to date and 23 of those giving 5 out of 5 stars it seems that if you try the Bali Minimiser Bra the chances are you will love it rather than just like it.

My favorite review has to be the one that says:

this bra controls the "bounce and jiggle" better than any other
But a close send is this:
I'm in love with this bra! I'm a 36 DDD...which translates into IMPOSSIBLE to find

However, my initial concerns regarding all that stitching are confirmed, even by a few women that firstly comment on this being the Best Minimser Bra they have ever worn, that it is comfortable and gives a great shape, but also that:
I can only give 3 stars for such a great bra is that is shows through everything!

Bali Minimiser Bra - Best Bra Buy?
Well, the prices are great, the quality is good espescially if you are a fan of handwashing.  The color choice is adequate but not brilliant particularly in the largest sizes.  But, most importantly most women find the Bali Minimiser Bra comfortable and extremely good at supporting bigger busts.  For me, the stitching is an issue, but for many that would not be the case, it all depends on your preferred styling and what kind of tops you where over your Big Bra.

Big Bra Reviews - Le Mystere Women's Dream Tisha Lace Bra

January 25, 2010



Le Mystere Women's Dream Tisha Lace


Here at Jenna's Big Bras we have already looked at the incredibly popular Le Mystere Dream Tisha Bra. All in all I admit to agreeing with all the hype and concluded that if it was good enough for Oprah it was definitely more than good enough for Jenna! Now its time to look at a prettier and more feminine version with the Le Mystere Dream Tisha Lace Full Figure Bra.



Le Mystere Dream Tisha Lace Bra Review


Okay ladies. When one has a significant bosom we all know that finding the right bra can be traumatic to say the least. I shall be honest. There is no way that Le Mystere Dream Tisha Lace bras are for everyone. Whilst Oprah and I may enjoy the really firm support, others find it a little too rigid. But, everyone does seem to agree that once you put some clothes over the top of that bra the silhouette is like how you remembered it once was in your younger days! And that, ladies can NEVER be a bad thing.


I have to be in the mood for lace. It can be a little irritating and a little unsightly under clothing but the lacy Tisha bra just includes a little as a scallop edge around the top of the breast and the straps. This gives a little bit of prettiness back to what is still a seriously strong bra for the fuller figure.


Just as you would expect the whole thing is seamless and made of super soft microfiber material so there should be now lumps or bumps, creases or wrinkles showing through your sweater.



Le Mystere Dream Tisha Lace Bra Customer Reviews


I just love love love amazon for many reasons. But, my two favorite points about this store are firstly the prices. My goodness I could not find a Dream Tisha Lace Bra at a better price! Secondly the customer reviews. Who needs friends to rely on for recommendations when all those helpful women write up their personal experience with the full figure bras I am considering buying?


Check out the Dream Tisha Lace Bra Customer Reviews and you will see just why I find them so helpful. Of course you always need to read between the lines, the occasional poor review is to be expected - nobody is perfect and sometimes deliveries or manufacturing go a little awry. And of course, some women want a particular kind of bra. If you are expecting something tiny and not particularly supported you would no doubt be a little miffed on reciept of this bra. After all it is for bigger busts that need some control! But I want nearly all the reviews to be positive, and with this bigger bra that's what you get.



Le Mystere Dream Tisha Lace Bra - Best Bra Buy?


A range of colors, a seemingly endless size range and über support. Yep, the Dream Tisha Lace Bra is definitely a good buy but ONLY if you buy wisely. The prices, even online can be somewhat extravagant for something that you will be wearing every day. When I price checked I found the amazon prices really competitive but I guess things are always changing. If you hear of a better deal let me know!

Though it is nice to add a little feminie lace to a good support bra, I think that on the whole I prefer the sleek lines and greater color choice with the regular Dream Tisha Bra though!

Pretty Big Bras - Lilyette #921

November 08, 2009

Today we are looking at one of the best Pretty Big Bras, the Lilyette Minimiser Sew-Free Underwire Bra (the Lilyette #921).


This site is all about Full Figure Bras. In short, bigger bras for bigger busts. Bras, that will support and control our sometimes wayward curves. All the bras worn by a bigger bosomed gal should be practical. They need to include serious fastenings and support, straps that do not dig in, and basically be brilliant pieces of engineering in fabric. But ask most women what they really want out of a bra, and it's basic... we want:

Pretty Bigger Bras

That is because, no matter how radical, forthright and powerful you are as a woman, most of us still want to feel feminine. Breasts are about the most feminine thing you can get I think you will agree. So wearing a beautiful bra designed to provide all the structure your bosom wants that still makes you look gorgeous is always going to be a winner.


Though I admit there are times when quite frankly practicality is far more important than looks (I am thinking of Full Figure Sports Bras in particular as they simply must function 100% effectively), more often than not I want the best of both worlds.


Just because we are curvy women with bountiful bosoms, it does not mean we require ugly scaffolding to keep everything in place. Thankfully with improved fabrics and design technology we do not have to put up with this any more. There are abundant bras available now that offer full figure support and bigger beauty.

Lilyette #921 Minimiser Bra

First on my list of Pretty Big Bras is the Lilyette #921. Why? Because at my current favorite source of Cheaper Underwear they are one of the hottest selling bras for the fuller figure that are beautiful as well as practical.


Now, I love my curves and generally am not too bothered about trying to minimise them, but I know many woman like to reduce the appearance of their gorgeous curves at least now and again. It makes sense especially when wearing close fitting knitwear. Not only does the Lilyette #921 act as a minimiser (they say it will reduce your bust by a cup size), it also works to smooth your back.


For me, this is probably the most important feature as one way to make a beautiful curvy girl look a little on the 'lumpy' side is to have pinching and rumpled appearance at the back. All the customer reviews published at amazon seem to agree that this is one bra that always lies smooth. It is due to a double knit side and back.


This is not a particularly sexy number, but it is really pretty and ultra feminine. There are a range of colors; chocolate, white, black, plum, beige and graphite.


Sizes available range from a modest 34C to a more bountiful 42DDD. Sadly not all colors are available in the full range of sizes but we are used to that aren't we?


Anyway with a price tag of only $22 to $32 I can forgive them a little color-size negligence!


Customer Big Bra Reviews are looking promising for the Lilyette Minimiser too. On the whole, women seem to agree that it looks beautiful in the flesh so to speak, and really does provide a nice smooth outline. With comments such as:


This bra does a great job with support and feminine beauty.

and,

This is my favorite bra EVER! Comfortable yet very supportive. No nasty seam through the cup. They hold up very well in the wash.

Of course, not everyone likes anything, and there were two negative responses in the customer review section at amazon. One woman complained of uncomfortable underwires, whereas most others were surprised at how good the wires were, whilst another was far from enamored with the wider sides. These wider sides are part of the way it smooths your silhouette. If you are particularly sensitive in this area it would definitely be a must to try this bra on before purchasing. To be honest, women, busts and bras vary so much I always try on a new design before making a purchase. Try on at the store then buy online for better pricing, naughty but practical in these frugal times!


At least there are supportive bras designed to deal with a fuller figure without looking too technical, we prefer and we want Pretty Big Bras, and the Lilyette #921 is definitely one of those!
