Another month, another giveaway, and this time I'm back in familiar territory - bras!
Those of you who've followed my blog for a while now will be aware of the #knowyoursize campaign, set up by Debenhams as a means of raising awareness about the importance of bra fittings. I think they're one of those things we all know we need to do, but often put off, because we feel like we don't have the time, or perhaps because we don't want to strip off to get measured. I also think that many of us don't realise how often we're supposed to do it - I for one was surprised to learn that the recommended interval for getting measured is every six months. However, Debenhams have really friendly and experienced staff, and the whole process of having a bra fitting in one of their lingerie departments is a lot quicker and easier than you might think. So, if it's been a while since you last got measured, I'd recommend heading to your local Debenhams. You can read all about my own experience here if you like.
If you find your size has changed, you will of course need to treat yourself to some new bras, and Debenhams is happy to help out by offering one of my lucky readers the chance to win this Triumph Amourette 300 Bra. Covered in lace, it's romantic, pretty and very feminine. I received mine a while back and have really been enjoying wearing it.
The bra isn't padded, but feels very supportive thanks to the underwired cups. It's soft against the skin, yet the fabric feels sturdy with plenty of stretch in it, making it super comfortable to wear. As soon as I unboxed this bra, I could see and feel what good quality it was. I'm confident that it will hold up well to being worn and washed a multitude of times!
If you like the look of this bra and fancy winning your own, here are the terms and conditions.
- The giveaway is UK only
- The prize is for the Triumph Amourette 300 bra only

Here I go again, showing off my bra all over the internet. Will I ever stop?!
As you guys know by now, a few months ago, Debenhams invited me to take part in their #knowyoursize campaign. Research shows that as many as 8 out of 10 women are wearing the wrong size bra, which not only has a negative effect on the way your silhouette looks under your clothes, but can cause serious discomfort as well. Sometimes, the thought of going for a fitting can be a bit of a drag or even a little intimidating, but my own experience at Debenhams was neither of those things. My fitter was both knowledgeable and friendly, and getting measured really took no time at all. Oh, and just in case you were under the impression that you have to go bra-less in order to get measured - you don't. That's a total myth. So if it's been a while since you were last fitted, maybe it's time to think about checking your size. If you're based in the UK, Debenhams really is a great place to get it done - I honestly can't say enough good things about my own experience there. In the meantime, you can always check out their online guide.
In order to help promote the importance of regular bra fittings, Debenhams have also very kindly offered to gift another bra to one of my UK readers. This time, it's the Triumph Modern Bloom Bra*.
A full cup, underwired bra with no padding, this is the kind of lingerie I'd probably never pick up in a shop, dismissing it as a bit "frumpy" looking. However, when I took a closer look at this one, I could see that the quality of the fabric and the lace detailing was actually very good. And, when I tried it on, I was surprised by how pretty it was. Although it is a full cup bra, the whole top section is sheer lace, meaning that it really comes into its own when worn as you get that lovely contrast between the opaque and sheer sections. In fact, it's actually quite sexy.
It features a 3D flexible wire, which is supposed to provide three times the comfort of a regular wired bra. It certainly is comfortable, with no "digging" even when worn throughout a (very!) long work day. It also feels incredibly supportive for a bra with no padding, which I think must be down to the additional lining on the lower cups and side sling. In short, it's a great one, and I always think you can never have too many black bras, especially at this time of year, when we all tend to wear a lot more darker clothing. It doesn't come with matching briefs, but anything black and a little bit silky will work beautifully with it.
So if you'd like to win this bra, here's what you need to know:
- The giveaway is UK only
- The prize is for the Triumph Modern Bloom bra in black only
- The bra is available in sizes 32DD to 40F (no A cup sizes are available). The prize is worth a total of £38 and is subject to availability
- The prize is non-transferable, non-refundable and non-negotiable. No cash alternative is available
- Debenhams Retail PLC will not be liable for any prizes which are lost, delayed or damaged in the post for reasons beyond their control
