 We don’t just sell bras you know, at Bravissimo we understand that it’s the little things that count, especially when big boobs are concerned. A simple solution such as a soft integral bra in your nightwear top can turn an awkward night into an amazing one. Some women like to feel that their boobs are being just as well supported at night as they are during the day, but wearing at bra at night can be uncomfortable and disturb your beauty sleep with wires, straps and clasp fastenings that dig in and prevent you from sleeping.

 Our nightwear avoids these sleep depriving annoyances by having an integral bra, soft underband and shaped foam cups designed to keep your boobs in place but with a soft touch to allow for movement whilst you sleep. This support is built into all of our nightwear tops and night dresses for a sound night’s sleep. There are some great styles to choose from; strappy tops or long sleeved tops; dressing gowns, nighties and more luxurious satin co-ordinates. So whatever your style you can find great fitting nightwear that dreams were made of!

 We know how much you love the Racer Back PJ Top so we’ve introduced a new colour for spring; powder blue. We also have a new PJ set in softest sage with a floral trim that is bang on trend for the new season. There is a matching nightie to go with this set in a delicate jersey fabric to ensure a comfortable, yet stylish, night’s sleep. If florals aren’t your thing, you might like our new Check PJ Bottoms, wear them long or roll them up and wear them cropped by securing with the button fastening. Take a look at the fab new Denim Blue PJ Cami Top same great fit, gorgeous new colour for spring.

Sweet dreams!

Make a statement in a bold floral print

Fabulous Florals

 We love flowers here at Bravissimo and we also love floral prints; they’re bright cheerful and bang on trend for the coming season. Here’s our pick of our favourite floral pieces from the new spring collection.

Underwear

Our Flirty Frill bra gives the same great support you loved from the Bubbles bra but the updated design will make your lingerie drawer fresher than a spring meadow! This bra’s pastel tones work well under plain tops or patterned tops as the subtle shades won’t show through.

Nightwear

You’re practically guaranteed to have sweet dreams when wearing this gorgeous floral print Satin Nightdress. Designed in soft satin for a luxurious feel against your skin, in a beautiful pink floral print and with an integral bra you can go to bed with a smile on your face and wake up with one too! 

Clothing

For a floral print that packs a punch, we’d recommend the Flower Print Shift dress its bold abstract floral print will make a statement and stand you out from the crowd. Don’t be a wall flower this season, wear your prints bold and bright and don’t be afraid to accessorise with a brightly coloured handbag and shoe combo too!

Cup of fruit tea anyone?

The word slob usually conjures up images of an unfit person, sat on the sofa, watching TV and eating take-away. However with a wave of new fashion forward lounge wear, great books and, thanks to the recession, the acceptance of staying in as the new going out, the epitome of slob takes on a whole new meaning. The modern day slob wears chic loungewear, reads novels and drinks Chianti (or fruit tea if like the rest of us they’re also on the post-Christmas detox). This new age slob also cares just as much about how they look indoors in the comfort of their own home as they do outdoors in public. Un-matching socks and animal print pyjamas are not acceptable attire for the sophisticated slob. Co-ordinating separates with a fashion twist, luxurious layers and barely there make-up however are a must.

 This kind of attention to detail isn’t for the benefit of anyone else, whether you share your home or not, the concept of chic slobbing is about feeling good about yourself 100% of the time. As women we know that when we think we look good, we feel good. So why spend the day in age old clothing and mismatch outfits when you could be sashaying around the house in casually glamorous loungewear? The sort you wouldn’t be embarrassed to open the door in should your handsome new neighbour pop round to borrow a cup of sugar. Knowing our luck however, it’s more likely to be Bob, the 50+ year old gas man knocking at the door, but a girl must have her fantasies!

 Check out our casual loungewear and nightwear, designed to fit big boobs to help you feel comfortable all day and all night long. Our cotton separates are perfect for throwing on when you’ve got back from a hard day’s work or a long night’s play. They’re suitable for bed and for the times when you just want to be comfortable, yet co-ordinated, in your home. From spots to stripes, florals to block colours, there is something for everyone. We also have a range of more luxurious nightwear in beautiful satin for a glam edge. A satin night gown and a pair of those fluffy slippers with a heel are optional extras.

Bravissimo Nightwear

Christmas is a time for spending with the family, taking time off work and enjoying good food and good company. But Christmas can also be a very stressful time of year as people frantically rush round the shops trying to find the perfect present for their loved ones. So it makes sense to us to have a pamper day just before the 25^th so that we can look and feel our best on the big day. We’re talking face masks, long soaks in hot baths, doing our hair, nails and probably a drop of red to help us to unwind. If you’re anything like us, you also probably have a stash of bubble bath and pampering tools from last Christmas, so they might as well be used to make room for the next lot! We’ll use any excuse for a night of ‘us’ time but we think that after all that shopping (and half of it not even for ourselves) we’ll be in need of some rest and relaxation.

Optimum pampering time is 2-3 hours including;

• a long soak in the bath, glass of red wine optional
• candles
• face mask
• hair mask
• exfoliation
• hair removal
• cutting and shaping of nails, fingers and toes
• painting nails, fingers and toes
• intensive moisturising
• cosying up in gorgeous nightwear
• followed by un-intensive post-pampering activities such as reading a book or watching a film

And if you just don’t have the time to pre-pamper then make sure you have the time for some post-Christmas pampering, ideally before the New Year then you can be looking your best for New Year’s Eve.

Last week the UK was brought to a stand still due to sub-zero temperatures and persistent snow. Even though blizzards were predicted the sheer volume of snow and the fact that it just kept coming left even the weather forecasters stumped. Many people were forced to abandon cars across the country as snow quickly turned into ice making driving dangerous and driving up hill near impossible. Others experienced cancelled flights with many of the big airports forced to close and major delays on trains and other forms of public transport. The North East, Yorkshire, Humber, Scotland and Wales have been the worst hit but that doesn’t mean the rest of the country has got off lightly as the snow continues to push further south. Even London, where snow rarely settles, has had a good few inches. Temperatures in the Scottish Highlands were reported to have fallen to a little as -18.6C. That’s cold! The bad news is this weather shows no sign of going anywhere any time soon and so has sparked the need for a review of how we cope and in particular how the transport system copes in such wintry conditions. Safety is paramount when the weather is this treacherous so if you don’t need to make a journey the advice is to stay indoors. If you do however need to venture out it has been advised to wear plenty of warm layers and to take some food and a drink with you just in case your journey is delayed.

Our advice if you have been snowed in is to make the most of it. If you have children, no doubt they’ll have been frolicking in it already so why not join them? Besides we adults can enjoy the snow angels, snowmen and snowball fights too! Then you can look forward to warming up with a hot bath, a hot choc and snuggle up in some cosy lounge wear and night wear for the rest of the day. Surely that’s got to be better than a day in the office?!

Harmony Bra, available up to 40KK

If you have been blessed with big boobs, it seems unfair that in some places you can be charged more for a bra that fits. We understand that there is inevitably more fabric in a bigger bra, but clothes prices aren’t based on size so why should bra prices be?

At Bravissimo you get great service as well as value for your money, whether you’re a size 28D or a 40KK everyone gets the same expert bra fitting and same great lingerie at an affordable price. We also have an ever increasing range of clothing cut to fit and flatter bigger boobs, supporting nightwear, swimwear and sports bras with a shock absorber system so that you will be fully supported whatever activity you do! Our everyday bras have given our customers the comfort and support they need to make their day more enjoyable. We also have a range of soft cup and nursing bras to take care of your boobs when they’re under the most stress and strain. Having boobs is part of being a woman, having big boobs is part of being a Bravissimo woman. But whatever your size you should look after your boobs, give them the support they need and treat them every now and again to a beautiful new bra!

Take a look at our new winter collection, its packed full of luscious lingerie, sumptuous sleepwear and fabulous fashion! This season has a prominent lady-like feel with sophisticated hem-lines, 1950s inspired dresses and 1970s inspired feminine blouses. And we can finally say thank-goodness for fashion that is as chic as it is wearable!

Check Shift Dress

Go classic in our check shift dress, this cute shift is cut to fit and flatter bigger boobs without compromising on style. The hint of electric blue gives this dress a modern spin, wear it as it is for now and layer up with long sleeve jerseys and light weight knitwear when the weather gets cooler. In keeping with the classic theme, the herringbone dress will be a wardrobe staple for chic winter dressing. With satin trim to add a little luxury this dress is smart, sophisticated and everything winter is about! The key skirt styles for this season are 1950s A-line and pencil and we have to admit we do love a good pencil skirt as they’re a bit sassier than other skirt styles and very flattering! Soft feminine blouses are also having a thing this season. Our caramel spot shirt hits three trends in one; the colour caramel, the spot detailing and the almost sheer fabric, we love it! As well as oodles of new clothing we have new lingerie styles, nightwear and swimwear, click here to see our new collections.

Top de-stress tips;

1. Take a few deep breaths, sometimes we can let the little things bother us, to combat this take time out to refocus on what is really important.
2. Go for a walk, if your head is spinning with thoughts of what you have to do, work, money or other worries a little bit of exercise can help to combat this stress and relieve some of the tension that stress creates.
3. Make a list, prioritise your tasks for the day and then get on with them, by writing things down you’re less likely to forget them and it makes it easier to manage your time.
4. Have a long soak in the bath, there’s nothing like a bit of pampering to help us to de-stress and feel great. We think every woman should have a whole night of pampering at least once a month, no children, no partners, just pure relaxation and pampering. Well, if you insist…!
5. Talk to your friends. Chances are if you’re having a stress about something your friends are or have done before too, they might be able to give you advice or simply help to take your mind off things. As they say, a problem shared is a problem halved.

Get some you time

Stress is a word that we use and hear on a day to day basis, we’re stressed at work, stressed at home, stressed about money or bills and never seem to have the time to do everything we need to do. Stress is something that can build up over time without us even noticing, but it’s important to acknowledge when stress levels are getting too much and to do something about it.

It’s important during our busy schedules and hectic lifestyles to get enough ‘me time’ and we’re definitely fans of that here at Bravissimo. Spending quality time with yourself can help you to relax and refocus on the important things. We can sometimes get distracted by trying too hard to please others, partners, children, our boss often take priority over ourselves and our own needs. So how can you de-stress and get more ‘me time’?

1. Set aside an hour a week to do something you enjoy doing, undisturbed and without company. This could be a long soak in a hot bath (with a glass of wine maybe), an hour in the gym or running exercise is great for relieving feel good endorphins, an hour spent watching your favourite TV or reading etc. This time spent alone will help you to relax and ease some of the tension that can rub off from others around you who are just as stressed!
2. Write an action plan, when we have so many things we need to do swirling around in our heads, it makes it difficult to focus and prioritise. Creating lists and putting things into an order of importance will help you to stay organised and stop you from forgetting important things, just remember to take said list with you!
3. If you’d rather be in company than out of it then get your friends together for a catch up and good old gossip to get things off your chest. It’s one great thing about being a woman, we tend to share our problems and get through them with a little help from our friends, whereas men are more likely to try to deal with them alone and there’s nothing quite like a gossip session to make you feel human again. You never know, your friends might be having similar problems causing them stress, as they say a problem shared is a problem halved!
4. Turn your phone off. Now this one does sound drastic and isn’t always possible if you have dependents and are worried about emergencies occurring the one and only time you turn your phone off. In this case, try putting it on silent whilst you bask in your own personal time. We probably couldn’t imagine a life without our mobile phone, but it wasn’t that long ago that no one had a mobile phone and the world worked fine, sometimes we’re so concerned about missing something that we don’t appreciate the simple things in life i.e. an evening off without calls from friends, children or e-mails from the boss, pure bliss!

Now choosing your nightwear can be just as much fun as being in the sweet shop with our gorgeous range of mix and match nightwear which has enough support for an equally sweet sleep. This season we’ve designed our nightwear so that you can mix and match any top with any bottom. Choose from cute cami tops and long or cropped bottoms in different prints to create different combinations. We also have the Patch Pocket Nightie in aqua and contrasting yellow trim, perfect for hot summer nights. All of our tops and nighties have built in support with adjustable shoulder straps, soft underband and shaped foam cups to provide your boobs with enough support whilst you sleep. This is all to ensure you have a comfortable night’s sleep, as it’s just important to look after your boobs as you sleep as when you are awake! But nightwear doesn’t just have to be comfortable, you can also keep on trend whilst you sleep with our floral long PJ bottoms, striped cropped PJ bottoms and floral cami top. Sweet!

Sweet Dreams!

Some extra tips on getting a great night’s sleep;

• Write things down before you go to bed - If your head is buzzing full of worries, thoughts and ideas when you’re trying to sleep then try writing them down on a piece of paper before you hit the pillow. This could help you to organise your thoughts and make it easier to deal with them in the morning. Besides, lack of sleep will only make you more stressed!
• Take a bath - A hot bath can help you to unwind and often the hot water makes us feel nice and sleepy so when we get out, we’re ready to go straight to sleep, just make sure you get dried before you roll into bed!
• Read - Reading can help to relax the mind and encourage sleep, plus it’s much better then watching TV before you go to bed.
• Spend time in a different room - If you really can’t sleep then try spending 10-15 minutes in a different room. You could sit in the living room for this amount of time or take a stroll around the house; you’ll be amazed at how well this works.

Sweet dreams…!
