The Go-To Bra of All Time from Lipo in a Box

Who doesn't love getting packages in the mail?
When I  saw the box at my front door my heart leapt! Is that so wrong?


I sliced it open assuming it was the balance of my Asos shopping frenzy. 
But alas, it was a box of the bras I'd ordered.

Disappointed? Absolutely. Until I unwrapped the little darlings.

Anyone out there with breasts—especially big-uns—knows 
the importance of a good bra. 
They are foundation items and can, in fact, make or break a great outfit.

Known for their Spanx-like shapewear, I ordered a bodysuit 
from Lipo in a Box  a few years ago on a friend's recommendation. 
I'm not a big user of shapewear, but this brand does the job really well.

On a whim, I added a bra to the order. 


That bra was the best investment I ever made—beautiful and tough. In fact, it only recently retired into the at-home-cleaning-not-seeing-anyone section of my drawer.

I’ve spent thousands on bras over the years—Wacoal, Playtex, La Perla—I've tried 
them all and there is no comparison. Since discovering this brand about 
three years ago, I now order regularly. 
Fantastic support, absolute quality, comfortable, pretty and a wide selection.
Sizes run from B to DDD cup, with band sizes 32 to 44.


Convertible, strapless, matching undies and extras such as "perkies" and 
"smart cups" are available. The founder of the business, Connie Elder, has also 
written a couple books that I hope to review at some point.

Ordering bras online can be a bit tricky, but Lipo in a Box provides excellent sizing guidelines and a fair return/exchange policy.  


The website is well-organized, simple to navigate and the photos are excellent.
If I have one complaint, it is that at checkout, the thumbnail doesn’t show the proper color selection so I find myself repeatedly double-checking the order.


There is free US shipping for orders over $100 and flat rate of $20 for overseas.
 I received my international shipment in a week (well...8 days..but whose counting?)


I am in no way affiliated with this company, I just love a good bra. : D
