Chickendoodle Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Most of you have probably heard of Bravissimo for bras for those of us well endowed ladies I recently bought a white shirt from their Pepperberry arm which is clothes made to fit us as well. I am wearing it for the first time today and I can't tell you how nice it feels to firstly not to have to put a safety pin behind the buttons to stop it gaping apart and secondly to be able to sit down without automatically having to pull it down over the chesticle area. They are not cheap (naturally) and are shaped for curvy, really curvy and super curvy. I am 34G and the really curvy fits beautifully. Here is the link http://www.bravissimo.com/pepperberry/products/tops/shirts-and-blouses/3-4-sleeve-classic-shirt/white/pt174wht/?level=1&show=16&sort=1&exclusive=false&new=false&sale=false They do all sorts of other stuff but a simple white blouse that fits is enough for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Chesticle! *snorts* It looks very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinsk Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 a simple white blouse that fits is enough for me Off to have a look as I really struggle too. Generally have to resort to having a vest top underneath so I don't have to do the buttons up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Their stuff is very good - I gave up on buttoned shirts years ago, and just wear t-shirt style tops, but I might pop off and have a look as a white shirt is always useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 My daughter wears their strappy tops & they fit her well,give support & she can still wear something relatively skimpy. She is a 32F, & is in super curvy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Don't have much of a chesticle or chest for that matter - I would like a blouse that made me look well endowed - one like Mrs Browns on the telly which inflates would be nice.

Yorkshire Pudding Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I'm a big fan - I'm not huge but was fed up of buying a size bigger to avoid gaping and then looking like I'm wearing a sack. Their sales area good and there is a thriving market in second hand and over makes on a well known auction site! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 I assume that they have properly sized armholes as well? I have differing levels of T shirts - smart and pretty, casual and farm as they're comfortable but it would be nice to have just one blouse..... I'd need one suitable for back fat and fat arms as well - perhaps I'll just have to stick with T shirts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Lovely blouse! A colleague was telling me about Pepperberry just the other day, and as I'm not well endowed I'd never heard of them, she was raving about the fit Lesley, if only clothing manufacturers would make sleeves more generous! I'm a bog standard size 12 with 11 inch upper arm, and have taken tops back where they are so tight across the upper arm it's ridiculous, I refuse to wear tight sleeved tops I have no idea who they think they are making clothing for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Thank you both - I might go and have a look then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Looks great and not a bad price for a smart shirt. Is the fabric thick enough to wear a patterned bra underneath? This is one of my gripes too. I am a 14 on my lower half but really should be a 12 at the top, I have a smallish waist and narrow shoulders, but chubby arm tops and D boobs. I may well try this shirt because fitted shirts flatter me if they don't gape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinning Top Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 I love their blouses. I don't get on so well with the strappy tops - the fitted bras are HUGE and padded so make me even bigger, and some of the V neck dresses are quite low but the blouses are amazing. Really great to have a smart fitted look with a suit, rather than either gaping across the front or hanging like a blooming sack. Lovely quality cotton and iron well.

It has a slight stretch to the fabric which is nice. I found it really comfortable and I think the cut is generous so arms etc should be fine. There are quite a lot of Bravissimo branches now so worth paying a visit if you can. Staff are very helpful I have found Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
