You may have noticed that last week we asked our lovely Facebook fans to tell us about their underwear dilemmas, and judging by the huge response we received it appears you ladies face a whole range of problems when shopping for your bust support! It’s not easy finding your ideal bra and if you’re anything like me, when you do find it, you cling on to it and wear it far too often, until you finally come to your senses (years later) and realise it is time to throw it out. There might be other bras in your drawer, but they will never be ‘the chosen one’ and so, the quest for a new favourite bra begins…

To help you through this (often painful) search, we thought we would respond to the more common issues mentioned by you all on Facebook – think of us as your bosom agony aunts!

The main grumble that came up time and time again was finding beautiful bras for the bigger bust at a decent price. Trust me, I also know this is by no means an easy task and I would urge you all to take a look at the new F&F fuller bust lingerie range on our website. I have to say, I think this is F&F’s best lingerie range yet. The collection boasts silky textures, lace and amorous shades, whilst still delivering on practicality and support for the larger sizes. The majority of the styles go up to a G cup and are simply worlds away from the uninspiring fuller bust bras we know from the past!

Here are some of my favourites from the new range…

F&F Fuller Bust Helena Bra £8 | F&F Fuller Bust Greta Bra £8 | F&F Fuller Bust Samantha Bra £8

Another response that stood out, and one that I can certainly empathise with, is the difficulty of finding sports bras that provide enough support for a fuller bosom. Although we like to find excuses to skip the gym session, our bras no longer need to be one of them! At just £6, the F&F Sports Bra goes up to an F cup and provides more than enough support for that early morning run (if you’re that way inclined – no need to feel guilty, I’m not either…!).

Finally, some of you mentioned that you struggle to find the right bra for the right situation – strapless, backless, t-shirt, plunge, push-up… it’s a complicated process! To help you out, we’ve created a new online bra guide to help you in your pursuit for the perfect bra match, whatever the occasion. We’ve put all of our bras into 11 straightforward categories to help narrow your search. From strapless to maternity, there is something for every shape, size, outfit and purpose. There is even a bra fitting guide if you need to measure yourself at home!

As for the larger sizes – I hope we are heading in a direction where big boobs no longer means boring bras. After all, women are versatile; therefore our bras should be too!

We say ‘bravo’ to both the online guide and the beautiful new range, and hope you feel the same.

If you don’t know that brights are one of the biggest trends of spring and summer, where have you been? Lucky for you, we’ve been monitoring all the hottest colours, and top of the list and all over London Fashion Week was Red!

We just can’t get enough and if and we are not the only ones! Adorned by the likes of Victoria Beckham and Kelly Brooke, red can suit any size, shape or item from the sexy red dress that the Sugababes coveted in the lyrics of their song, to Isabelle Marant’s amazing leather cigarette pants. If you are lucky enough to have legs that look fierce in these trousers, you should be wearing them!

Red can be a daunting colour to wear if it’s not a staple colour in your wardrobe, so we’ve got some great items that will help smooth you into the trend and make you feel better than the Special K woman!

F&F Belted Mac £35.00

A red coat is a great way to introduce colour into your wardrobe and make a statement, without being too overwhelming.  This will definitely brighten up your commute, and you can never go wrong with a statement trench coat!

Pleat Ruched side pencil dress £42.50

If the moment calls for a bit of attention, you can go bold in this stunning red ruched, pencil dress. Keep your accessories paired down and to a minimum and let the dress do all the talking!

F&F Lace balconette bra £7.00

If you want to brighten up an outfit, small flashes of red will really put a spring in your step. Accessorise with a scarf or hat, or keep it undercover (or peeking out!) with some gorgeous red lingerie; after all it is the colour of love and romance!

If these little red numbers have whet your appetite you can check out all items in our red trend here.

However, you wear it, you’re sure to have a smile on your face!

Look and feel gorgeous with our Lingerie collection!

By Rochelle Symons in News, Trends on Monday 31st January, 2011

Did anyone spot our lingerie feature in yesterday’s ‘Fabulous’ magazine? It’s no secret that the right underwear can be just as crucial as the perfect outfit itself, and with the F&F’s selection, you can’t really go wrong!

As every woman knows, it’s important to get the perfect fit for both the outfit and occasion, but when you do get it right, it can feel like you’ve just walked out of the salon with a fab new do! To help you along, we’re on hand to give you a few of our essential lingerie tips for buying online!

Know your size

There’s nothing worse than an ill-fitting bra to have you fussing and fidgeting all day long. Simply take your measurement across fullest part of your bust keeping the tape level around the back. If in any doubt, check out our size guide to ensure you get the perfect fit every time.

Occasion matters

The one-bra-for-all has had its day. Every woman can now have lingerie to suit every aspect (and outfit) of her life – from everyday comfort to sport support, and even the sexy essential to match that little black dress! Trying on outfits in advance can also help avoid any last minute lingerie issues and help you know in advance which style works with which outfit, so you’re ready for that last minute invitation!

Work with what you’ve got

It’s important to know what you want your lingerie to do. If you’d like to give yourself an added boost, then a push up bra will work wonders. On the flipside, those with a fuller bust may appreciate a balcony bra as it emphasises what you’ve got from below. Also check out longline bras if you’d like a streamlined silhouette, and plain smooth bras for a more discreet look under clingy tops or vests.

Colour Palette

Here is where you can get really creative. It’s nice to have a range of colours to suit your mood, especially when you’ve got an outfit that could potentially reveal a playful peek. The old rules of style still apply though – never wear a white bra with a black dress, and nude bras only with white shirts!

For a limited time only, we’re offering 20% off all lingerie in the F&F range, so now couldn’t be a better time to grab yourself a new set for any occasion! Check out our favourites from the ‘Fabulous’ shoot below.

England vs. Slovenia

By Rochelle Symons in Womenswear on Monday 21st June, 2010

Right, so this week we think it might be appropriate to take a different approach with the men in our lives (maybe something England manager Fabio Capello should also consider..) After the somewhat unsatisfying performance at the World Cup on Friday, we don’t think many men were very happy!

So we thought we would give you guys some tips on how to make the most of the upcoming England vs Slovenia World Cup match, come victory or defeat!

What’s the tip? Lingerie. Perfect for a celebration should we win, but also perfect as a ‘consoler’ if we lose. Well, it will take his mind of the game at least.

So, here are two little outfits we have put together:

Diamond Boutique spoilt plunge bra, Diamond Boutique spoilt thong, Diamond Boutique spoilt French knickers

If you want to go with a Slovenian theme, this Diamond Boutique ensemble is perfect. You know what they say, keep your friends close and your enemies closer…

F&F half corset, F&F lace briefs

For some glamourous patriotism, try out these lace inspired F&F items. Looking perfectly angelic never seemed so easy. Pair with a red rose in your hair, and there you go, the perfect English rose!

Who said patriotism couldn’t be sexy?
