Underwire bras

Bra Collection

I make a wide variety of bras to suit almost every body type. There are two ordering options. Bespoke or off the pattern sizing.

Bespoke bras: Ordering a bespoke bra means we have one or more fittings to alter the base pattern.

Off the pattern sizing: If you order from the individual bra style listing your bra will be made to your measurements with no alterations.

For underwired and non wired bras I strongly recommend starting with a bespoke bra so we can ensure a correct fit. As all bras are made to order I cannot offer refunds or exchanges for incorrect fit.

If you generally fit off the rack sizing or are a C cup or less you may be able order without having a fitting but again I cannot guarantee a particular style will fit you well simply based on your measurements. Minor alterations to a finished bra may be possible for an additional charge

  • All my underwired bras have seamed cups to create shape. I do not use moulded fabric or foam cups.

    Some styles have the option to add cut and sew foam underneath the fabric layer for a smoother effect.

    Underwired bras come in many different styles full cup, plunge, strapless, longline, demi cup and balconette

    I always welcome custom orders if you have something specific in mind.

  • Essentially structured like a wired bra with separate cups and band. A well constructed and fitted non wired bra should give almost as much lift and support as an underwired bra

    I have two non wired bras in my range currently. The loftus and the lanai

    The loftus from Cashmerette is a more forgiving fit but also provides less support and shaping compared with the Lanai

    The Lanai pattern is ideal for bigger busts, nursing bras, and post breast surgery before or as an alternative to reintroducing underwires. The Lanai generally requires at least one fit trial as it is a very structured bra and may require some alteration to strap placement etc to get optimal lift and shaping

  • Unstructured, non wired bra. These generally have the same adjustable straps and hook closures as a bra but provide much less support. Bralettes are generally a fashion rather than foundation garment.

    Bralette range also includes some lounge bras, which are essentially a cross between a bralette and a crop. These will generally be made from lingerie fabrics and elastics rather than activewear fabrics and provide less compression

  • These provide a lower level of support than sports bras and are suitable for low impact activities. They make a wonderful fashion layer over traditional encapsulation sports bras for higher impact activities or can be worn in isolation as a fashion or bikini top.

    Because these bras lack any seams through the cups they do not provide great shaping

  • Sports bra based on compression principles rather than encapsulation

    Compression sports bras compress the breast tissue against the rib cage to reduce breast movement during exercise

    These are more structured than a sports crop and are suitable for smaller cup sizes for most exercise activities or larger cup sizes during low impact activity
