Penelope Lace Padded Plunge Bra A-E

This bra is amazing. It provides full support even without the under wiring. Because there is no under wiring it is unbelievably comfortable.

Very very comfortable, the straps do however show at the neckline, on anything lower than a t shirt.

This is the most comfortable bra I have ever owned - I hate wearing bras but this one eliminates constantly hitching up the straps and feels very supportive without anything digging in. The crossover straps limit what you can wear the bra with, nothing wide necked as the straps come towards your neckline rather than over your shoulders, so I suppose the answer is to have a couple of styles! It's a bit awkward to get on at first but I'm used to fastening my bra at the front and then twizzling it round the back and straps over my shoulders, with this bra you don't have the option to, it has to be put on and fastened by touch at the back - takes a couple more minutes but you get used to it.

Great pretty little bra which is very flattering for over 50s. Good natural padding and the band beneath the bust covers a multitude of sins! The cross over strap means that you aren't forever hitching up your straps. Only drawback is you can't wear it will wide necks as the straps show on the neckline.

I just couldn't get on with trying on this bra - I tried several times and since it was so awkward (because of the cross-over straps at the back) I am returning it. There's nothing wrong with the quality and price, just the style isn't for me after all.
