Whilst this bra uses the same pattern and fit of our previous bras, the body is made in premium organic cotton, knitted and GOTs dyed here in Australia.
Everything in this bra, from the elastic, tencel sewing thread, organic cotton and soy ink labels and custom-made hook and eye pieces, is designed to break down in nature at end-of-life and leave no trace.
This wire-free, plastic-free bra is super soft on the body. It has a soft, woven organic cotton liner in the band that sits next to the body and anchors the bra in place, preventing it stretching over time. It also has a half cup liner in this weave to give it more support where needed. 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.
We fundamentally believe that everything we make in the 21st Century should be designed with its end in sight. No excuses.

I BOUGHT THE VINTAGE PEACH BRA AND THE ONE WITH THE V SUPPORT AND FIND THE LATTER FITS BETTER. I AM HAVING TROUBLE FINDING THE RIGHT SIDE FROM THE WRONG SIDE, VERY SIMILAR LOOKING. I HAVE SUPPORTED STEPH FOR YEARS AND FIND ALL THE BRAS TOO TIGHT ACROSS THE BODY, AND WITH THE NEW ONES NOT HAVING AS MUCH GIVE IN THE FABRIC THEY ARE EVEN MORE LIMITING. PERHAPS SOME THOUGHT NEEDS TO GO INTO ADDING A LONGER HOOK SECTION AS A CHOICE AT CHECKOUT THIS COULD NEGATE THE LIMITATIONS CAUSED BY THE FABRIC HAVING LESS GIVE. KEEP UP THE WONDERFUL THOUGHTFUL WORK STEPH I ACKNOWLEDGE YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU DO.
Hi Sheree, so sorry to hear this. The bras in my previous company - Bras Without Wires - included spandex so had a bit more stretch in them, but we don't use spandex in this bra to keep it plastic-free. If unworn we are happy to take a return as our bands don't go larger, or you could buy an expander at Spotlight, or online at places like Amazon. Sorry it diodnt work for you.

Sizing issues 16/38E bra
I purchased the new black tencel victory bra and the older style peach vintage bra and pansy bra. I noticed that the black tencel victory bra fits perfectly however the peach and pansy bras are a little smaller/tight despite being the same size. Perhaps there is a bit more stretch in the tencel fabric over the knit cotton, which would account for the difference. I find the straps are twisting and folding in half when wearing and not as comfortable as the tencel victory bra which has the newer type straps that are wider.
I love everything about the Very Good Bra co ethic and aims as a business model, and would like to gradually replace my old bras with more sustainable products. I would look to buy the tencel fabric bras instead as they seemed to fit better
Sorry to hear about the size differences, there can be variations due to fabric and style but we are working with our factory to get as close a consistency as possible. I'm glad you like the new strap elastic, we will be using it going forward and we've also had a new batch custom made in this style to have a firmer stretch. Thanks for your feedback

Peach comfort
Very comfortable and is so handy to have a bra this colour and cut as works under most tops with a v-neck

UPlifting
This is my second Very Good Bra, and I love it. They are so comfortable, and knowing that they're made with no resource chain overlooked it feels uplifting - for my bust and me, to wear it. Keep up the great work team!

Small cup size
Soft fabric and good support even without underwire, but I find that after wearing for a little while my breasts protrude from the inside of the cup. I think this is probably due to the cups being too small, as others have noted. I am a size D/DD and bought a DD. This is a shame as I was looking forward to this bra!
So sorry Imogen. Please reach out if we can help with sizing if you'd like to try again? You may also find our Liberty or V for Victory Bras with the front V wire work better for you in a larger cup size.
