Oh My Cleo.

After the lovely Learn The Fit event with Panache us bloggers got a few little treats in the post, including our favourite lingerie piece from one of the collections and a swimwear piece. Of course both of my choices came from the Cleo range. I love the look and fabrics used for them as they're fun and young which are perfect for me at 19 (well 20 next Monday eeek!) The swimwear item was a rather lovely vintage style Bikini, though I'm hunting for the perfect bottoms as the ones that come with it are a little too low rise for my liking but the top is so cute! 

I love Cleo Balconnet Bra's and this Melissa is no exception. As always these are a good fit on me as you can see in the middle image the centre core of the bra sits flush again my chest without a mass of cleavage. Though the usual minus thing being only 2 hooks on the back so it does roll up slightly when I move due to me obviously being very fleshy! The straps are thick and comfortable so do not cut in or twist and I feel well supported. I was originally a little dubious of this bra as it was without any padding and in the past I've not been 100% sold on this kind of bra. I like a little padding just to be sure there's no accidentally nip on when it's chilly but I don't feel quite so conscious in this, I think this is particularly due to the support the bra gives me anyway I'm well upholstered and it shows!

I'm wearing a 38E and a size 18 bottom but I also own Cleo bottoms in a size 16 too. You can also see that I fill the bra without any flat sections, pulling or wrinkling in the fabric. If you're after beautiful bras that fit well and are fun Panache are the people for you! Though as a warning I am a cup size bigger in all panache lingerie where as in other stores I'm a 38DD.

Learn The Fit at Panache!

 Tattooed Tealady, Betty Pamper and me!

Yours truly and Tattooed Tealady!

Betty Pamper, Me and Frivolous Mrs D!

A few weeks back now I got the chance to spend a day at Panache HQ with a number of lovely bloggers who the majority I'd had the pleasure of being in there presence before. One blogger I was most excited to 'meet' for the first time properly (because you read there blogs you feel like you already know them!) was Sophia from Tattooed Tealady, not only is she an absolute doll, she's also a good laugh also, hence just rocking the coolest shades you've ever seen up in the picture above!

Panache's  'Learn The Fit' day was a workshop usually aimed at  retailers and retail assistants of them , this was the first time they'd opened to bloggers so we all felt very privileged!The day was led by Karen who owns The Little Big Bra Shop in Market Harborough which isn't too far from where I was at uni so I'm hoping to take a trip there when I go to pick up the last of my belongs! Karen was so lovely, naturally funny and made sure everyone was at ease, I really enjoyed myself and learnt so much! She also told me I was wearing the right sized bra which is always a confidence boost (in case you're wondering I'm at 38E for Panache bra's). We also got to meet some of the buyers and designers who showed us upcoming and current styles along with the mood boards, which as a fashion student myself I loved!

Panache were also lovely enough to let us go away with a swim set and lingerie set from them, both the pieces I chose were from Cleo my favourite range as they are so pretty and colourful (though sometimes I do wish they had more than a row of 2 hooks and eyes) I cannot wait to show you them on as they are too adorable not to! Thank you to everyone at Panache and Best British Bloggers for making my day so lovely (and getting me gluten free food for lunch, it was so sweet of you to do so as I didn't expect it!)

Hello Cleo.

The lovely Ladies at Panache were kind enough to send me this utterly cute Darcy set from the Cleo range way back in December but I've only just got round to writing about it, at least I can tell you how it actually is as I've been wearing it for months! I do love this set from the print to the darling red lace, though it doesn't come without some flaws one being because it's only 2 hooks and eyes at the back my chub makes it roll up a lot more easily than it would if it had an extra row but this is something I can live with of course! Another thing being if you're wanting this for killer cleavage in my opinion you won't get that I find that it's a lovely t-shirt bra and can be worn under the majority of my clothes and gives a natural lift and small amount of cleavage, it's subtle in this way which is another reason why I like it so much.

Of course the set is also aesthetically pleasing, just look at the adorable print and that lace is to die for, they've somehow managed to keep it colourful and fresh without being childish which is great! This bra is pretty much a good fit for me too, the centre of the bra sits flush against me and I feel well upholstered but not restricted which is a major plus in my book!

Originally I wasn't too sure about posting one of these pictures up (I'm sure you can guess which one!) but I wanted to show you how well it seems to fit me, so I hope you don't mind a little bit of boobage! Here I'm wearing a 38E and the bottoms are a size 16.
