Advantages: Well designed

Disadvantages: Not very well made, pricey, uncomfortable

What I will say first and foremost, is that Ann Summers make gorgeous looking bras. All the designs are very feminine, pretty and sophisticated. The line is just that bit sexier than close competitors La Senza, but not as scandalous as designs you might see in Hustler. Also, Ann Summers bras are all about the little details. If you like heart shaped buttons, frills, bows, ribbons and delicate patterns, these bras will be perfect for you.

However, gorgeous as these bras look, they are nothing compared to the long line of problems I have with these bras - starting with the fit. Maybe it's just my chest in particular but I've found it very rare for an Ann Summers bra to suit my lady lumps well! Most of the bras have little padding or support, it really does seem the whole design budget was spent on pretty buttons and none spent on the inside of the garment.

Aside from looking awful, many of the bras feel awful as well. After buying and taking home the only bra that has ever suited me, after just wearing it to get ready I could already feel the underwire poking anmd rubbing me. Luckily I'd forgotten to take the tag out of the back and was able to return it, however if I'd had to pay for a bra I couldn't even wear once I would be very upset!

Which leads me to my last issue with the bras - the price. The average cost of a bra from Ann Summers is about £25, which would be fine if the quality of the garment was as good as the look but it isn't. As it stands you're paying £25 for a bra that you can't wear everyday because of how uncomfortable is, which in my opinion is not worth the cost at all.

It's such a shame as well as I love Ann Summers knickers - they're sexy without being trashy, cover/show all the right bits and have gorgeous little details that you won't find on similar versions. At full price averaging about £12 it is quite expensive but if you buy wisely during the sales you can find exactly the same pairs for around £3.

As for the bras, I won't be trying let alone buying one again.

Summary: Pretty designs, pretty rubbish everything else!
