BUST PALS SAY RIVALS ARE PANTS

Undie-graduates set up firm

A PAIR of curvy best friends have started up their own shop selling sexy lingerie for big-boobed women.

University pals Alice Holden, a 30GG, and Fleurette Mulcahy – who is 28FF/G – had both struggled to find bras that fit properly.

They were sick of having to buy unflatteri­ng and frumpy underwear for their ample assets. So they set up a business offering racy outfits for the curvier lady.

Alice said: “We had never been able to buy lingerie we loved and did not think we ever would. It really looked like such a depressing future.

“It feels like a right as a woman to be able to buy lingerie you feel confident in, ® and we’d never had that, so we thought we hadn’t really had womanhood without it.

“We had nothing to lose, so we started the business in third year and called it Attollo, which means ‘lift up’ in Latin – exactly what our bras weren’t doing.”

Alice, 25, and Fleurette, 24, both grew at a rate of a cup size every academic year.

So they plan to grow their business even further to sizes beyond GG and 34.

The duo, from London, who both trained as bra fitters at Selfridges, even want to design a teenage D+ range.

Alice added: “Our ambitions are limitless and whenever there are boobs needing support, we want to be there.”
