Welcome to our second collaboration with iconic UK Liberty Fabric! The word Pansy derives from the latin verb Pensare - to take everything into consideration, to think! We love this, the thinking woman's bra - Pansy :-)
The body of the bra is organic cotton with a print in REACH dyes. This design is almost identical to our original Liberty bra (read reviews here), except we have removed the banding on the frame and cups to make it sit flatter and more streamlined. As ever, it has no underwires and is super soft on the body. The front V wire gives great separation and support across all sizes, and works particularly well with larger cups. The bra has a woven organic cotton liner in the band that sits next to the body and anchors it in place, preventing it stretching over time. Because there is no spandex in the bra, it can run a little smaller in size than your regular bra as it has less stretch.
Everything in this bra, from the elastic, tencel sewing thread and custom-made hook and eye pieces is botanically circular, designed to break down in nature at end-of-life and leave no trace. A true plastic-free bra.

We fundamentally believe that everything we make in the 21st Century should be designed with its end in sight. No excuses.

From the US, I love you
I've been hunting for a sustainable supportive bra for months and finally landed on these from The Very Good Bra. When it arrived, the first thing I noticed was how well made it was. It seems like it'll last me a long long time, which is exactly what I was looking for! I really wish there was a photo of the interior of the bra so we could determine if there is any padding or just know what it looks like. This bra has no padding , but I expected that as no sustainable bra I have found has padding. The good thing is this bra is more like in between a padded bra and a bralette. I'm using inserts from a previous bra because my nipples sometimes just feel like being too obvious and it doesn't have any lift for my breast shape. I think based on the photos of the other bras, larger breasts may not have this issue as they round out the bra more. With the inserts I feel it gives more of the traditional shape with the comfort and the bra holds them very well, they don't move. If they sold inserts that would just be the cherry on top! Overall though, I'm in love with the mission and the quality. I will be ordering again! :-)

So pretty! (and comfortable)
Everything it says on the tin. I thought on the first wear that the band was going to be a little tight but on the second wear - a whole day in the office! - I actually forgot I had it on. Officially my favourite bra.
