Ballet was once one of the only Irish brands of lingerie I could name. They were founded sixty years ago in Dublin and caught my attention because they offered great looking bras in larger cup sizes. The Celebration collection is available in B-F cup for everyday comfort. During the early part of this decade, they introduced a younger line called B’ware. It was smashing.

Now, Ballet seems to be HQ’d in Lancashire, England. The company introduced swimwear 2009/2010, focusing on its central message of ‘good fit’.

I like the darker and richer colours from their Winter collection so now may be the time to do some bargain hunting. Ballet is available at Figleaves, Debenhams, Additions, Empire Stores, Undercover Experience, Just Bras, and many other retailers.
