top picks at etam's end of season sale + haul (must read for D+ cups)
I almost burst into tears while shopping at Etam's boutique in SM Aura.
I'm not being melodramatic here. The tears I (almost) shed were of gratitude and relief. (SERIOUSLY.)
Did you know that I had to live an entire year with bacon bras?
It was so frustrating especially for someone like me who believes so much in investing on good under garments.
The right underwear can make or break your outfit but when you have unorthodox body measurements like mine, finding the right bra can be a huge and disappointing challenge (especially in our country).
Even if I had the money, there was nothing to buy.
BUT NOT ANYMORE!

I have to admit that I was pretty skeptical when I was asked to preview Etam. The reason why I never feature lingerie brands on my blog is because they never carry my size so I found it pointless.
But the people behind Vogue Concepts are really nice and I could sense how much they believed in their brand so I decided to give it a shot. Worse case scenario would be a simple store feature for you guys.
Thank god that wasn't the case!
I finally found my underwear mecca and they carry sizes that perfectly fit me, affordable too! (Thank you Jesusss!!!)
And what's even better is that they're currently having their end of season sale which makes shopping for quality lingerie even more economical!
As you can see in the photo above, they carry up to an E cup! And not just in large sizes like most other brands do. Etam has it in size 32 as well. (Thank you for understanding that petite women can also sometimes have large boobs! :P)
It's not just sizes that they have a lot of.
They also carry a multitude of styles with specific purposes for different types of clothing!
More than I was actually able to keep up with.
But just think, bras for backless dresses, one shoulder outfits, tube tops, etc!
Oh the freedom to pick whatever you want to wear without having to worry about saggy breasts! ❤
I would pay a premium for that! But at Etam, I don't have to.
A basic bra from (my go to ex-brand) usually set me back around P1600-P2000 but out of oppression, I had no choice. (My size was like a white elephant so I had to buy while I could so I wouldn't have to bear wearing bacon bras again.)
I would begrudgingly hand over my credit card while quietly envying my friends who could get theirs for less than a thousand anytime. Cute ones too.While I, on the other hand, had to settle for super expensive granny looking ones.
To add insult to injury, they would even sometimes wear it on their heads as hats! Kainis diba? :P
(But I can't blame them cause they really looked awful and orthopedic)
Etam has cute ones in my size AND with matching undies too! It's the first time I've ever been given that privilege and I'm so happy I could dance (or wear my new stash as an ootd!lol).
Can you imagine?! All this only cost me 4k!
- lounge wear (I love how I can dress up the cami for nights out)
- 3 t-shirt bras
- 4 MATCHING seamless panties that don't ride up the butt, thank you very much!
I would've gotten more but the ones I wanted were already out of stock.
(But I made it a point to leave my number with them so they could contact me for fresh drops. haha)
Another thing I love about shopping at Etam is how stress-free it is. Just tell their fit specialist what you need and she'll do all the measuring and dirty work for you.
Seriously, you'll go crazy with the choices here.
Each bra and panty style come in different silhouettes and cuts to perfectly match your body type.
But I'm telling you, the one thing you REALLY need to pick up when you visit their store is their Pure Fit t-shirt bras. They are extremely flattering and comfortable plus they eliminate the sight of unwanted back fat for a nice and seamless finish.
HOARD THIS. Seriously.
Here's another thing worth mentioning: They change the hygienic liner to a new one per customer! Now that's service.
(Most other brands won't even allow you to fit their panties)
Aside from underwear, Etam also has separates in different sizes and styles. Yes, E cups included.
And of course, lots of cute lounge wear. If you're happy wearing your old "butas-butas" t-shirts at home, you need to snap out of it! Haha, or at least get a couple of cute options for when you travel so it isn't so embarrassing when you open up your luggage for customs.
So, there you go, my top picks from Etam's End Of Season sale.
I'm sorry if I unintentionally dragged this post on for too long. I am just really genuinely happy.
Etam is my favorite find this year and I am so relieved that I now have a go-to store that carries my size all year-round in styles that fit perfectly.
