Now on to another one of our little super stars, the very clever, Couture.
Couture is one of one all time favourites due to the shape and support system....
What we love-
- Couture full cup underwired bra does give full coverage but due to the slight V neckline, it tends not to be too overwhelming
- The lower cups are in firm tulle for serious support
- Elastic lace in the upper cups stretches over the bust line for a beautiful neat fit
- We often use Couture as a minimiser style, due to the square cut of the design, it does flatten out but gives far more support and shape than a traditional smooth cup minimiser
- Very clever cut really utilising the lace and the tulle to it's full advantage to get the optimum in support and comfort
- Very firm lycra stretch around the back for support
- The shoulder straps are decorated with a fine stitched band for extra support
- Roughage over the straps for minimal slipping of hardware over time
- Roughage over the straps to stop the stretching out over time
- Straps placed on an angle inward to stop slippage over the shoulders
- Extraordinary quality, if looked after, Couture will last a long, long time
- Very firm side support panels to encourage the bust line slightly to the centre
- Thinner strap style, will look lovely under singlets and sun dresses
- Such a beautiful bra in the hand. The picture is lovely but it doesn't do it justice, it does look even lovelier in the real
- Though Couture has a seam through the middle, it is very faint and you will barely notice it under firmer fitting outfits
- Nicely centralised straps for those with smaller shoulders
- A versatile style, seems to fit many different shapes and sizes
Something to think about-
- Couture can be slightly firm around the back, not enough to change sizes, but if you feel as though you float between sizes you may want to consider going up a size
- Because of the square cut on Couture, if you are particularly full busted under the arm, this may not be the bra for you, you may want to consider a higher support style that holds from the side, such as Simone Perele's Caresse Side Support style 12A320
- Due to Couture's delicate nature, it will need to be hand washed.
