At Le Reve you can find famous collections such as La Perla, Prima Donna, Cotton Club. Easy to wash, original colours and feels right. I agree, it does cost more than the lingerie at Primark, but in my opinion it is a good investment. Also you can get there tights, stockings or even frangrance for a romantic and passionate night... And I disagree it is for women only. I would suggest men to look for original gift for their ladies at Le Reve. Just before doing that make sure you know cup size. Just to avoid disappointment...

Bravissimo specialises in lingerie and fashion for busty babes! They provide clothes in sizes that…read moreyou won't see anywhere else. So someone who normally takes an ill-fitting size 12 shirt anywhere else might be a 10 really curvy at Bravissimo! Because the clothes come in so many different sizes and variations, once you find your size, it does feel tailor-made. And I guess that's why you're paying those sorts of prices - because this store certainly ain't cheap! However, they have fab sales if you can get there quick enough to find your size (even their sales are super cheap - you pay what you should probably be paying to begin with!). Being a trim but busty lass, I often struggle to find clothes that fit me really well on the high street - and finding good bikinis can be an even bigger challenge. I managed to find the most gorgeous designer bikini (Gotex) on sale at Bravissimo in the summer. The service is much better than in most Cambridge clothes shops although the shop does get ridiculously busy (especially during the sales), so if you need to speak to a member of staff, it can take ages.

Bravissimo Cambridge is fantastic! I really mean that! I have to travel to visit any bravissimo…read morestore, and this is my favourite because they are just so incredibly helpful and understanding here that it beggers belief it really does. The first time I visited this store, my husband (who doesn't like shopping let alone bra shopping) sort of hung around to make sure all was ok, but pretty quickly he realised that I was in good hands and so ran off to find a music shop saying he'd be back in half an hour. The women who work in the shop all seem to be really caring people who want to help you to find a bra (or more than one if you're feeling rich) that suits you and fits well. I'm disabled so I do need help with this, I get very tired trying lots of bra's on and they always make sure I've got a changing room with enough space for my wheelchair if I've got that, or make sure there's a seat in there if I'm using my stick. The prices here aren't cheap, but to be honest that's not bravissimo's fault I don't think as if you can find these bra's anywhere else you generally find they are just as expensive elsewhere, and at least here you get great service too.

I am getting married next year, so have been around a few of the bridalwear shops in the area (not…read morethat there are very many in Cambridge city to begin with!). This was the first place I tried - and it was by far the best! You do have to book in advance if you want to try on wedding dresses as it gets very busy, especially on weekends. There's a room downstairs for private fittings, where (once you've made your appointment) you can try on dresses to your heart's content! The service is fantastic and the staff really professional and patient. If you tell them you have to stick to a budget they will try to accommodate you. The range of dress styles is amazing too. If like me, the blancmange doesn't do it for you, there are plenty of really classy, simple dresses in there - everything from fishtail to column dresses - you name it! Ironically I ended up buying the second dress I ever tried on - after then trying on endless other bridal dresses! The service is fantastic - there's no hard sell or any of that rather intimidating aura you sometimes get in these kinds of stores. I've recommended this shop to several of my friends.
