To note that the models in the new bravissimo catalogue have pretty small racks?

Gnat bites

Yes I have to say that I noticed that the "curvy" model in their new peppapig range or whatever its called had a smaller bosom than myself.

How dare you. That's me on p.14, that is.

is usually the case

God forbid big boobs are seen that arent fake

I do quite like their catalogue though as their models are refreshingly curvy i.e. fairly normal though slim sizes with non air brushed tummys and hips.

I went into their new clothes shop in Edinburgh, sadly the clothes are fairly rubbish, lots of cheap clingy polyester, with non cheap prices and funny high up waist lines that made me look 6 months pregnant, but I do love the lingerie shop they are so friendly.

Thank God frankly.

rookiemater peppapig range thank you for brightening my afternoon .

I've always thought their clothes were a bit vile (apart from the odd shit hot red dress for which I no longer have the figure) Their Pure bra is good though.

I get very irked by supposed "curvy" bras that stop at a puny F

whats the matter livingindc

makes you feel inadequate?

I have just checked my catalogue it is pepperberry I mean what sort of made up name is that?

I do like their bras, so much more flattering to be a 34DD than a 36D, DH likes the idea too!

The peppapig collection looks as if it's designed to attract attention to the bazumas, rather than just provide well-tailored clothes that don't gape. Hence those weird empire line and cross-over fronts.

Sneaking suspicion here that their designer is a bloke.

YADNBU. I thought much the same thing when I received my latest catalogue....and at peppapig :)

Ooh haven't looked at the catalogue yet. The new website with the peppapig section is shite though. I wonder if the peppa range is going to go into other stores too, hence the new 'brand' name. I still hold out hope that one day they will do a range with LTS for us tall and buxom ladies.

Do the tankini tops look any longer in the new catalogue? What the fuck is the point in a tankini which leaves a gap between the top and the bottoms exposing precisely the part of me that means I'm looking at frigging tankinis in the first place!

I haven't seen the new catalogue. However Bravissimo models are usually curvy but very slim. That means they may only wear somewhere between a 28 and a 32 at most I reckon. Someone who is a 28DD will have less boobage than a 40C lady, but it will be all in the cup size, rather than just added fat on the top half.

I agree about the tankinis. I got one once and I was disappointed about the gap specially designed to display muffin top to full advantage.

then you need eitehr a swimming costume or lands end

Yep - I have ended up with swimming costumes, but I'd rather have a tankini and it seems such a stupid way to design them!

Will look at Lands End...

Hmmm have looked at Lands End and they're definitely better designed tankinis...except that it's all just 'clothes sizes' - the whole reason I go for Bravissimo is I want the bra fitting type tops rather than having to buy an 18 or 20 which is then way too big elsewhere...

The irritating thing with Bravissimo is the staff in the shops agree the tankinis are craply designed but they say they can't seem to get them changed...

And henceforth it shall be known as....the Peppapig range

Acekicker have a look at one of these:

Tanki

One of the reviewers on another site complained it was exceptionally long - why I went for it though I am only 5 ft 6 inches and it is very long on me.

I agree op they seem to have got smaller and smaller recently completely defeating objective of appealing to larger ladies

I love Bravissimo but am not massively impressed with their swimsuit range. Why so many bikinis?

I would love a sexy one piece thats fits over my boobs but their costumes all look frumpy compared to the other stuff.

Love the dresses though, and am massively annoyed that they have stopped doing the classic white shirt. Why??

thought of this thread today, DH was flicking through the new peppapig range When he realised it was part of the bravissimo stuff he said they looked alot smaller and skinnier than they normally do.

(he also said please don't tell them on mn 'cos they'll think I'm a pervert when I told him about they general consensus)

I think it's perfectly legitimate for Mr Doris to inspect the catalogue.

I enjoy leafing through DW's Bravissimo catalogue with her consent. She says "pick one out for me that you think I'd like." It was only after a few goes that I worked out she meant the underwear, not the model.

i think thats odd making men choose underwear

She doesn't actually ask me to choose the one she'd wear. Just to give my input.

We like to count the number of times the models appear on each page, and identify how they've changed their hair to disguise that there's only about 5 of them.
