It’s really quite simple, I have 2 underwear sets that I’ve had waiting for me to try. I thought as it’s close to Valentines Day and my post on the gorgeous Elomi set from Yours Clothing went down well I thought I’d do a doubly whammy. I’m going to somewhat compare a Bestform Lingerie set against a Fantasie lingerie set. Why? Because I can… plus you never know how good a piece of underwear is unless you compare it against the others.
First in the ring is the really pretty charcoal grey ‘Tokyo’ balconette bra set from Bestform. It’s polyester and cotton but has a super smooth feel to it making the material really comfy against the skin. It a super pretty spotty print with lots of little detail. The silver ‘B’ is a pretty eye catching detail (stands for Bestform not boobs…. I presume!). The lace detail is sexy and feminine plus… a massive plus it has a 3 hook fastening!
In terms of the support it felt great, wide straps and side panels. The back size was great (40) but I found the cup size to be on the small size. I didn’t feel like the bra lifted by my boobs and if I had the next cup size up it would have been much more comfortable and flattering. I think you can see that from the picture too.
The shorts are really pretty with a bow and lace on the front and a cute keyhole cut out on the back. I have a 2XL and they are really quite small, but very pretty and again, feel great against the skin.
Next up is the ‘Melissa’ Fantasie set from Bras Galore. A pretty, sheer bra with light pink embroidery that has elements of metallic threading throughout. It’s a polyester and nylon bra but it doesnt fell as nice against the skin as the Bestform. The side panels are not as big and it only has a 2 hook fastening. (tut tut).
But all is not lost because this bra is a perfect fit back and cup wise and it really does lift. I love a bit of lift and I think most women do. the bra gives my boobs a pretty nice shape and considering there is no padding and it’s pretty full coverage, they still have a great shape.
It is a really pretty bra with great coverage and shape. It would be perfect if it had a bit more back and side support. The matching knickers are just as pretty with a sheer panel and matching embroidery. Once again the 2XL was too small for me, although bigger than the Bestform briefs.
So who wins… well I’m not going to entirely wimp out but there isn’t an actual loser. They both win depending on what you’re looking for. In my opinion the Bestform lingerie set is the prettiest and the most comfortable. It feels and looks great with some really gorgeous detail. In terms of sizing the Fantasie bra wins and if sexy is what you after it’s a little bit more ooh la la than the BestForm set. However, if I upped the cup size in the Bestform it might just nip the finish line a millisecond quicker.
