Lovehoney Cherish Me Satin & Lace Underwired Longline Bra
I will cherish this
I absolutely adore Lovehoney’s own brand lingerie and the latest range was no exception. Cherish Me might have been designed with brides and wedding nights in mind, but I’m a try it before the occasion kinda girl.
I’m not planning a wedding anytime soon, but I can see this being the perfect bra to wear during that evening or the honeymoon that follows. For now, though, I’ll be rocking it when I want a night of innocence and sensual lovemaking rather than an evening of our usual whips and chains.
It arrived packaged in the usual way, in just a clear plastic packet. It’s not fancy or anything, but I purchased it for myself so I don’t mind. If it’s being given as a gift with a pair of the matching undies, then placing it inside one of the lingerie gift bags would be better.
When I removed this bra from the packet I immediately noticed how soft and smooth the satin was. It felt extremely luxurious and expensive, which amazes me considering the price tag. I have found that satin can often feel cheap with other brands (mentioning no names) but Lovehoney seem to invest in materials that feel great for their underwear. I’ve never had a piece of theirs that I wasn’t impressed with in terms of how the material felt.
It wasn’t just the satin that felt great though. The lace elements were made well too. It’s not the softest lace that Lovehoney have ever used but it’s not scratchy or irritating by any means. It had been attached to the satin perfectly and there were no signs of fraying or loose stitching. Lovehoney have once again managed to maintain their super high standards that keep me coming back to their ranges time and time again.
Further credit to the design team for adding the perfect finishing touches. This bra features satin bows on each shoulder strap and one features the Lovehoney heart charm in gold. This matches the zip and adds a small splash of contrast to break up the mass of ivory used. I think silver additions would have cheapened the look of this range and made little impact aesthetically, so gold was definitely the right choice.
I ordered the small (6-8) and I’m a size four to six with a 30A chest. I found this bra accommodated my back size well, which was a bit of a surprise as it is not adjustable at all. I feel that this size in the bra is great for those who wear a 30-32, but it might be slightly tight on a 34. It may be worth sizing up if you prefer having some wiggle room. I also thought my cup size was well accommodated for although I see no reason as to why it won’t be flattering for all sizes.
The satin part finishes just above the nipple and the lace covers a bit more of the breast to avoid the bra being overly revealing. It still shows off the cleavage and top area of each breast, but the style leaves something to the imagination. I found it to be super flattering but there was plenty of cup room remaining for bigger cup sizes. It still sat as it was supposed to on me despite this and thankfully there was no gaping.
I have to admit that this is one of the most comfortable bedroom bras that I’ve ever worn and I’m gutted to see this being discontinued so soon. I feel like longline bras work for many different sizes and shapes, so it’s great to see Lovehoney making more of these. I hope there will be more to come in future ranges. These styles give me a major confidence boost when I wear them and they’re so quick and convenient to get into that’s there’s nothing I can really fault.
Overall Rating: 10 out of 10 stars
Pros: Everything!
Cons: N/A
Bottom Line: I’d definitely recommend getting this bra whilst it’s still available.
