Being a part of the itty bitty titty club you have the luxury of purchasing cute dainty bras and bralettes without needing to worry about support. It's all about the cute!
I've recently been researching and purchasing from boutique lingerie labels based in Australia and New Zealand.
These include;
Hopeless
Hatsumi's Laundry
Lonely
Christie Nicole
Her Pony
Hopeless
Hopeless Lingerie is based in melbourne and all hand sewn and created to order. I absolutely love this brand and just feel so sexy in the things she creates.
Pros: Australian made, amazing quality and fabrics and the owner is such a lovely girl!
Cons: because she's picking up momentum globally the wait can be rather long...up to 8 weeks. However SO worth the wait <3
(side note on stitching that's visible in image 1 - was drunkely out and pulled retardedly hard on the stitching and popped a few out - my dodgy skills trying to fix it on a sewing machine are visible haha)
Hatsumi's Laundry
Hatsumi's Laundry is also based in Melbourne (must be something in the water!) My collection of her products is growing rapidly and for good reason. Her gorgeous creations are sexy, cute and beyond comfortable! The white cloud chamber bralette as pictured below was my first piece and omg, the love for it!
Pros: Great quality, Made in Australia and very quick delivery
Cons: The products are on limited runs - so once it's gone, it is gone sister! so you have to jump in whilst you can!
Lonely
Lonely is a company based in New Zealand which i only discovered maybe a month ago. With many gorgeous products designs and range of colours it's something i'll definitely be investing more money into!
Pros: It's in NZD therefore a bit cheaper over here in Aus, quality is outstanding, even though i have zero boobs i feel so secure and comfortable due to the 5 clips at the back (as pictured) and the packaging is super cute!
Cons: The only con i've found so far is that the strap material for the underbust likes to catch fluff. I mistakenly wore a jumper just over it and it covered it in maroon fluff so i was bummed - it has come off but kinda still there :/
Christie Nicole
This brand i haven't researched a lot as of yet, but the brand comes out with some very gorgeous bralettes.
Pros: Australian Made and the quality is top notch
Cons: This bralette in particular has a leather underbust and it does not stretch at all. Therefore as it is a smidge too small i can't wear it as it wont expand with me. :( This isn't to say her other bralettes don't as I have no clue - i'm just saying that this particular one has no room for being 1cm past the sizing reccomendation.
Her Pony
Her Pony again based in Melbourne is a gorgeous boutique with a wide variety of clothing. My favvie is the yellow daisy print bralette so cute and gorgeous on! When they released the pink I just had to have it :3
the first image is a much more delicate lace pattern which sits very well on a small bust.
Pros: Great fabrics and well stitched, very reasonable pricing (avg $20-$30 AUD)
Cons: I haven't found any cons with the pieces whatsoever - if anything it's a con that she hasn't released matching panties to go with them!
I hope you all go out and have a good look through these brands online and purchase your own gorgeous handmade lingerie. I recommend browsing through bigcartel for lingerie shops as this is how I find most of my lingerie these days
