Advantages: Makes a difficult style possible for large breasted ladies

Disadvantages: Strain on the neck

Bravissimo really do provide some great products for ladies with a big bust. While the Bra's and underwear for sale are great I think their most impressive products are the clothes made to fit a big bust. It sounds stupid but most shops really do not cater for this market - things are either too tight, or ride up becoming too short. So Bravissimo providing something different really is great, and the range is always growing.

The halterneck is great in terms of widening choice - but like the other review notes it is a limited style for a larger breasted lady as it puts all the strain on the neck. I found this a much better fit than wearing a halterneck bra and halterneck top as separates, a nicer shape and silloutte all round.

As a plain, daytime top I dont think the neck strain is worth it here. If they produced a version for evening - in a fancier fabric, or with more detail - then I think it would be a better buy (There is a more evening looking Halterneck on the Bravissimo website ATM - only £26 in the sale, but limited sizes and stock.) You can cope with the literal pain in the neck for a more impressive look - but in my opinion for this daytime, causual vest look, a plain two strap vest is better - either the Bravissimo version, or just a normal one and decent fitting bra.

It's a shame because halterneck shapes are flattering with a large breast size - gravity is just against us girls!

Don't let this put you off if you really like the shape - it's fine for once in a while, and don't let it put you off other things in the Bravissimo clothing range - The shirts are esecially good.

This is currently available online for £31.50 (D-H Cup - Read the sizing guide for the clothing before you order as it is quite different from the usual high street). A fancier jeweled version is also currently in stock at £37. Going in store if you have a local one may be well worth your while, as their staff are excellent - and you are usually in for a suprise when you get measured properly - so many of us are wearing the wrong size.

The Bravissimo clothes are expensive compared to the high street - but they do offer a much better, tailored shape for large busted ladies. While it's a shame that this costs more, hopefully the success of the Bravissimo clothing range might encourage more shops to think more carefully about their sizing and cut.

Summary: Nice for a one off - but better Bravissimo items are out there
