Gorgeous larger-cup bras for Autumn/Winter
October 21, 2009 by Danae
Last week we showcased some gorgeous jewel-tone bras for Autumn/Winter, and promised that we would devote an Autumn/Winter post to larger-cup ladies next. Here are some wee treats to brighten up your cold winter nights!
Lejaby Elixir’s “Melusine”

Our favourite large-cup bra for this season has to be the incredible “Melusine” from Lejaby Elixir — the delicate, tattoo-like pattern gives an art deco glamour and will definitely stand out from the everyday larger-cup bra! We love the tiny rose accents, the scalloped edges, and the matching briefs are just as heavenly.
The only drawback is the size range – Melusine only goes up to a 38G, which just isn’t enough – every woman deserves a bra this lovely! For those of you lucky enough to be in the range, you can get Melusine in Cocoa (pictured above) or a purple “Poison,” the bra is £58 and the matching briefs are £26. There are also limited sizes available in Poison at Figleaves at a slightly reduced price.
Panache’s Tango Plunge

Our next pick is available from a DD – H cup, and comes in six colours, ranging from functional nude, black and white to the lovely teal and purple pictured above. It’s hard to find a plunge bra in larger-cup sizes, so we love that this bra not only offers a variety of sizes and colours, but lets you wear it out on the town underneath your favourite v-neck! To top it off, “Tango” is very affordable — the plunge bra comes in at £23.50 ($39), and the matching brief is £11.50 ($19). Bravissimo now delivers to the U.S., Europe, and Australia as well as the U.K., so this really is a set for everyone!
Rigby & Peller’s “Whisper” and “Icicle”

We know we blog a lot about Rigby & Peller, but it’s difficult to not get excited when you see such gorgeous bras available up to an H-cup! This season Rigby & Peller have concocted some stunning sets, including the dark and mysterious “Whisper” (pictured above left), and the oh-so wintry “Icicle,” (pictured above right). We love that Rigby & Peller take the time to create intricate, beautiful sets that accommodate so many sizes — their ranges always include a large-cup plunge, full-cup and padded plunge bra, which gives an option for every size from an A to an H. The bras are £pound;73 ($121) so it really is a Christmas treat, but good quality isn’t cheap, and Danae swears by these bras!
Just to double-check – do you think we (especially Danae) bang on a little too much about Rigby & Peller? Tell us in the poll below!










wow, that Lejaby Elixir bra is gorgeous!

Yes, the Lejaby Elixir bra is something very special – I may have to treat myself!!
I agree ladies – I think that one might be my Christmas set!
These are great, but what about those of us who wear an I or J cup?
Hi Lex!
We are always on the lookout for gorgeous bras in your size, but as I’m sure you are acutely aware, the selection is much more limited! I will keep my eyes peeled for you!

Why, thank you, Danae. Just to make it more interesting, that’s a 32I/J — even harder to find. I’m waiting for the insurance company to get back on whether they’ll pay for a reduction, which would make the issue moot.
Hi Lex,
have you tried Freya or Fantasie? They go up to a J cup, and do a 32 back.
