Elizabeth H. β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…

The recycled yarn in this one makes it feel softer than most bras I've owned, and the mid-century shape gives great support without any pinching. I've worn it all day and completely forgot I had it on.

Finally a bra that actually fits like it was made for me, and the mid-century silhouette gives just the right shape under my work blouses. I've worn it three times now and the Nottingham fabric holds up beautifully through a full day without any digging or slipping.

The recycled yarn is surprisingly soft against my skin, and the mid-century shape gives a flattering lift without any pinching. I wore it for a full workday and forgot I had it on, which never happens with other bras.
