Ok this is something that I have been raving about, basically to anyone that will listen!! And that is the new Ultimate Strapless Wonderbra.
It was released by wonderbra in June this year which just happened to coincide with a little black tie event I was going to. So I set out on a mission to find the perfect strapless bra to keep my rather large (34E) boobs in place during this dignified event. Usually I wouldn't go near Wonderbra's as I have never felt as if I required their assitance in that department, but I was in John Lewis, as I said on a mission, and I thought why not, lets give it a go.
So how is this bra different from normal bras well firstly most strapless bras I have owned in no way have supported my boobs, in fact I would go as far to say that they flattened them and pushed them to the sides. If I truely wanted that affect I would just lie down! But this bra is different, it lifts them and holds them together resulting in eye catching cleavage and a slimer looking figure. I think it is because of their new technology using polycarbonate hand shaped inserts rather than underwires to lift and hold you in place, see......
When trying on bra's I always tend to dance around the changing room seeing if I can shake them free, too many times in the past I have bought underwear on a whim only to discover that I fall out of it the minute I start moving. This time was no exception I bounced around like a loon trying to shake them out whilst giggling like a loon, much to the amusement of the changing room assistant!
So it has been nearly a month since that purchase and I feel that I can now fully review this bra for you, it is amazing!!! If you have shyed away from strapless dresses just because you thought your boobs where too big then this is the solution for you!
As with all things there are a couple of tiny gripes firstly I have the nude coloured version of the above black bra and the material is a polyester which is quite slippery and I have found that some of my cotton type strapless dresses will just slide off, but this is nothing that can't be fixed with a couple of safety pins attaching the dress to the bra and maybe the lace versions are not so slippy! The other really very minor gripe is that it is extremely tight around the chest and makes me sit and stand very straight, this isn't really a bad thing as I know it is what is holding it up but you should just be aware that after 8 hours in this bra it can start to ache a little.
But without a doubt this is the single greatest underwear purchase I have ever made and I certainly recommend it to all large breasted women. I picked mine up for £30 at John Lewis, but it is also available at House of Fraser, Debenhams or online at Figleaves or here: http://www.ultimatestrapless.co.uk/

I have just applied some of this and I was a little confused by the applicator, a kind of banana shaped tip to a mascara wand. I used this to apply the product on the eyelashes and along the lash line. I shall keep you updated on how i get on with this.
