Bare essentials is eco friendly using recycled nylon. Smooth, soft and sleek, wirefree, moulded cups for descretion, adjustable thin straps.
Up to 80% of women wear the wrong bra size. Measuring at home takes less than 5 minutes — all you need is a soft tape measure.
Wrap the tape firmly around your ribcage, directly under your bust. Snug but not tight.
