… As we start to prepare for the party season we concentrate on finding that perfect party outfit. Sometimes it can be  hard for Bravissimo girls to find a frock that fits, so we look at some bigger boobed celebs for inspiration.

Simple and elegant

Glamorous Bandeau Dress

helps to add sophistication to the look and a pair of heels keeps things elegant. Our own bandeau dress in black is a wardrobe classic that won’t date and gives you a sensational silhouette.

Our next celeb inspiration is Kelly Brook. She’s a bigger boobed girl that knows how to dress to suit her figure. You too can get your own perfectly fitting party dress by discovering your Bravissimo size. Most of our tops and dresses come in sizes 8-18, curvy – super curvy so you know your dress will fit and you’ll be comfortable enough to party all night long!

Underwear is key

Kelly is also a fan of the one shoulder dress and proves that bigger boobed girls can wear one shoulder styles, as long as the right underwear is worn underneath! 

Finding the right underwear is just as important as finding the right outfit, as underwear lays the foundation for outerwear.  Having a correct fitting bra will give you all the support you need to feel comfortable all night long.  Use our ‘Bra style guide’ to help you match the right bra to your perfect party outfit.

Unfortunately there is only one Gok Wan in the world and we can’t all go on TV, strip down to our undies and have the pleasure of his expert advice. So here are some hints and tips to keep your body looking and feeling beautiful during the winter months.

Now is the perfect time of year for some full on girly pampering, yay! Our skin can take a bit of a battering during the brisk winter weather, so now is the time to think about your winter beauty regime and how to protect your skin during the cold coming months. In order to help your skin endure the winter season and re-appear looking as fresh as a spring daisy come March, follow these winter tips;

1- Moisturise moisturise moisturise! To avoid dry and chapped skin, lips especially can suffer from the change in climate, invest in both face and lip moisturisers. Re-apply moisturisers when the skin feels dry or tight to avoid it becoming a problem. Also, why not do something for your boobs too. Simple cleansing and moisturising will keep your skin supple and soft, but for an extra special treat we recommend that you try some aromatherapy. Just mix three drops of your favourite essential oil with a base oil and apply after bathing – we like Lavender or Ylang Ylang to relax and any citrus based oil to revitalise.

2- Exfoliating is a great way to get rid of dull skin and stimulate new skin growth, so scrub up for the festive season! A good exfoliation will re-energise the skin, and get rid of the top layer of life less winter skin. Do this once or twice a month to keep yourself looking and feeling gorgeous.

3- Get a bit of colour the healthy way. Having a little bit of colour can make us feel more cheery. A good blusher will make your face look fresh and healthy, pink tones work great on blondes and light brunettes, whereas bronze/brown tones work well for darker hair/complexions. A spray tan is the best way to go for an all over healthy glow, especially if you are considering baring your legs in those all important party frocks! Choose a subtle shade to suit your tone and achieve that natural look.

Although it would be nice, you don’t have to go to an expensive health spa to achieve the desired affect. Set aside a night of peace and quiet. Dig out some bath products, run a hot bath and get scrubbing. This time of year means parties, family gatherings and work do’s a plenty, so you will want to look and feel at your very best. And nothing beats a good pampering to help you feel fabulous, whether you’re wearing clothes or not!
