The band problem

You were never wearing the wrong size

You were wearing the wrong architecture. Here's what changes when the band goes.

Red mark left by a bra underband

This line isn't your fault.

It's the mark of a strap that was never doing the lifting in the first place. Take a look at where the support actually comes from — and where the pain comes from.

The bra band vs the cups - how a bra vest with built-in cups supports a fuller bust
01

The band was never meant to do the lifting

Traditional bras use a band around your ribcage to anchor the cups in place. The support comes from the cups — but the band is what stays pressed against your ribs, hour after hour, until you can't wait to take it off.

02

So we kept the cups, not the band

Structured support cups sewn directly into the front of the vest, with the support carried through the shoulders instead of a tight band around your ribs. Real lift up to an F cup.

03

And your back gets its day back

No hooks printing through your top. No band cutting you in two. Just one smooth line from bust to hip — comfortable enough to forget, and no line across your back.

When things change

Your body changed. Your bra didn’t.

Skin that’s more sensitive than it used to be. A bust that’s fuller, softer or a different shape. Days when you run hotter than everyone else in the room. And still the same kind of bra you wore years ago.

This vest gives you soft, real support — without the squeeze.

How it's built

Layer by layer

We didn't build a better bra. We built a vest top that does a bra's job.

1

Shaped cups, sewn in

Real cups that lift and separate — not a flat shelf. Stitched into the front, so they don't fold, twist or go missing in the wash.

2

Wide, flat straps

The weight is carried across your whole shoulder, not one thin line. Nothing to adjust, nothing that slips.

3

No underband

No elastic around your ribs, no underwire and no hooks. Nothing pressing, nothing digging, nothing trapping heat.

4

Soft longline knit

A breathable vest top that sits smooth from bust to hip — wear it on its own or under anything.

Pulling on the bra vest in ten seconds - no hooks to fasten
Getting dressed

Put it on in 10 seconds. No reaching behind your back.

No hooks to line up. No clasps to find. No twisting your shoulders to get dressed. You pull it on like any vest top — and the support is already built in.

  • Nothing to fasten, front or back
  • Support and coverage in one piece
Breathable knit of the non-wired bra vest
When it’s warm

No more sweaty skin under your bust

The cups hold your bust away from your body, so there’s no skin-on-skin underneath and no damp patch by lunchtime. No band wrapped round your ribs trapping heat either — just soft, breathable knit.

  • No skin-on-skin under the bust
  • Breathable knit, comfortable through warm afternoons
All-day comfort in a non-wired bra vest
All day

No more watching the clock until you can take it off

No wire pressing on a rib. No strap carving into your shoulder. Nothing digging into your back, from morning until evening.

  • Weight spread across the whole panel, not one thin wire
  • Wide straps that stay put without digging
Your new morning

Three steps. That's the whole routine.

Step 1

Pull it on

Over your head like any vest top. No clasps, no hooks, no fumbling behind your back.

Step 2

Walk out the door

Supported, smooth and covered. Wear it on its own or under a shirt, a knit or a dress.

Step 3

Forget you're wearing it

No strap to hitch up, no band to tug down. Comfortable from the first coffee to the sofa.

And a bonus you'll notice

Nothing to hide under your clothes

Take the band away and the outline goes with it. No clasp bump, no strap marks, no line across your back.

Wearing the bra vest with built-in cups
Why we made it

The band was never the part doing the lifting

Size up, size down, underwire, wireless: if the result is always a sore line under your ribs by the afternoon, the size was never the problem.

In a traditional bra, the cups lift. The band just holds them in place — and it’s the part you can’t wait to take off.

So we kept the cups and dropped the band: real support cups sewn into the front of a soft vest top, with the weight carried by wide straps and nothing wrapping around your ribs.

Questions & answers

Everything you're wondering

Does it really support a fuller bust?

Yes. Unlike a classic tank that simply flattens, the front support panel wraps and lifts the bust — up to an F cup. Support comes from the shoulders and the panel, not from an underwire digging into your ribs.

Is it a bra vest or a tank top with a built-in bra?

Both names describe it: a vest top with shaped support cups sewn into the front. Unlike a shelf bra, the cups support and separate rather than squashing everything together.

Does it work for a large bust or plus size?

Yes. It comes in sizes M to 4XL and supports up to an F cup. Use the size finder above — and if you're between two sizes, take the larger one.

Is it a good non-wired alternative to a bra?

That's exactly what it's made for. If underwire, hooks or a tight underband have become uncomfortable, this gives you support without any of them, and you can wear it on its own.

Can I put it on if I have stiff shoulders?

Yes. It's designed to be easy to put on even if reaching behind your back is uncomfortable. There are no hooks or clasps to fasten, front or back — you pull it on over your head like any tank top.

How do I choose my size?

Start from your usual size and check the size guide. For a fuller bust, order one size up: the fabric shapes without compressing. Between two sizes? Take the larger one.

Is it visible under clothes?

No visible seams, no underwire, no bra lines. Under a thin tee, a blouse or a fitted dress, it stays smooth and discreet.

Can I wear it all day?

Morning to night without a pinch — that's what it's designed for. No wire pressing, no strap digging in. The breathable fabric helps move moisture away from your skin and holds its shape through the day.

How do I care for it?

Machine wash at 30°C in a laundry bag. No tumble dryer — dry flat. The fabric keeps its stretch and support wash after wash.

What if it doesn't work for me?

You have 60 days. If it isn't right for you, contact us and we'll refund you.

60DAYS

Take 60 days. Let your body decide.

Wear it every day for 60 days — around the house, to work, under your favourite clothes, and on the days when you usually can't wait to take your bra off. Try it at home. If it isn't right for you, contact us within 60 days and we'll refund you.

What size should I order?

Just tell us the bra size you normally wear — the one written on your bra label, like 36C or 38DD. We’ll do the rest.

The number on your bra label

e.g. the 36 in 36C

The letter on your bra label

e.g. the C in 36C

Not sure? Take the larger size. There’s no tight band, so a slightly bigger vest still supports you — and you have 60 days to swap it.
