Cool, Comfortable and Chemical-free
ZERO Plastics and Synthetics
Loved by Sensitive Skin
Exhale gently. Measure snugly around your ribcage, just below your bust.
Measure loosely across the fullest part of your bust, standing upright.
How to measure
Underbust
Exhale and measure snugly around your ribcage, just under your bust. Use your resting exhale — not fully sucked in.
Overbust
Stand straight and measure loosely around the fullest part of your bust. The tape should sit level across your back.
Between sizes?
Try a sister size — go up one band and down one cup (or vice versa) for the same volume with a different fit.
Prefer a softer band?
Size up one band and down one cup. E.g. 34D → 36C. Same volume, less band pressure.
Description
A wireless, full-coverage bra in a warm, rich brown - available with or without removable pads, in sizes up to a G cup. Made from 100% Lenzing TENCEL™ with all-natural, plastic-free materials throughout.
Sizing note: Rum & Raisin has a little more stretch in the band than our other styles. If you're on the cusp between band sizes, we recommend sizing down one band in this colour.
Who it's for
This bra is ideal for anyone looking for a sustainable, wire-free bra with full coverage in larger cup sizes. It works as an everyday bra and doubles as a T-shirt bra for maximum discretion under clothing.
Padded or non-padded - your choice, no waste
You can add Rum & Raisin to your cart as a padded or non-padded bra. The removable pad is made from polyester and is designed to be separated from the bra at the end of its life - so it can be reused in future bras, while the rest of the bra, made from natural fibres, can be fed to your worm farm.
Key features
- No underwire - a front V-wire provides separation in larger cup sizes and gentle shaping in smaller cups
- Full coverage cut with a V-neckline
- Removable pads - choose padded or non-padded at checkout
- Up to G cup - Rum & Raisin is one of our two styles that extends into F and G cups, with strong customer feedback in larger cup sizes
- Straps: Custom soft web elastic in two widths - 13mm for sizes 32B/C, 34A/B, and 36A/B; 20mm for all other sizes (custom-made for a firmer stretch and better comfort)
- Matching briefs - available in 3 styles of Rum & Raisin briefs
Fit & sizing
Because there's no spandex, the band may feel slightly smaller than your usual size. We strongly recommend measuring and referring to our bra size chart before ordering.
Cup fit: V for Victory bras are more roomy in the cup than our Vintage Peach or Original Black styles, as they have no under-cup channelling.

Sustainability
Rum & Raisin is designed for disassembly. At the end of its life:
- The polyester pad can be removed and reused in another bra
- The bra body - made entirely from natural, plastic-free materials - can be fed to your worm farm at end of life, just chop it up and watch the magic
All materials are custom-made for The Very Good Bra, including the elastic, hooks and eyes, and sewing thread.

FAQ
What happens if it doesn't fit?
For bras, we recommend you reach out before buying for the first time if in any doubt. With no spandex and a longer band, our bras can feel firmer on the body and you may want to size up a band if you're on the cusp. Our fit for sleepwear is fairly standard and described in the size guide. All returns and exchanges have to be sent back at the buyer's expense. Unfortunately we cannot take international exchanges at this point but we do take returns.
Can you exchange bottoms?
Please please please try bottoms over your undies! If they don't fit, we can exchange or refund.
What are these garments made of?
All materials for each style are featured on the product pages, but a breakdown is as follows:
Our black bra is made of Australian knitted and dyed Lenzing fibre Tencel, with tree rubber and organic cotton elastic and custom made organic cotton hooks and eyes. Our sewing thread is Tencel and our labels organic cotton dyed with soy based inks, sourced from Europe as we can't find a maker here in Australia.
Our organic cotton bras in a range of colours are made from organic cotton knitted and GOTs dyed here in Australia.
Our sleep wear is made of 100% organic cotton, knitted and organically dyed in Melbourne. Elastic is Cradle to Cradle, made in Germany and compostable.
Will they break down when they wash?
The great thing about quality cotton and tencel is that they wash and wear beautifully. Although derived from plants, these are premium fabrics from premium suppliers that are built to last. We always recommend a short wash at a low temperature both for maintenance, and because its kinder to the environment. We hope that you will wear the sleep T shirts day and night, to get extra wear out of one wash!
Who pays additional country-specific taxes?
The buyer is responsible for any additional taxes which are due in their country of origin when the parcel is delivered. We sell tax-free to international customers. For most countries except the UK, this isn't an issue as the threshold is high, but please check your local import/sales taxes.
How much is shipping?
We ship anywhere in Australia for a flat rate of $10, to NZ for $15, and internationally for $20 (higher for middle east). We offer worldwide freepost on orders over $250.
There is more about our shipping and returns policy at the bottom of the site.

July 2021 - Update on EU
Sadly, new VAT laws in the EU introduced this month mean it is no longer commercially viable to sell there :-( This makes us very sad, and we continue to monitor any developments that might make doing business with the EU still possible as a smaller company.
EXCHANGES

INTERNATIONAL EXCHANGES
We are unable to process international exchanges as post is so slow we may well have sold out of what you want before we receive yours back. Please take extra care to ensure you are buying the correct size. In the US and UK in particular, the 32/34/36/38" system doesn't align with cms! Check our size chart and reach out to Lauren our virtual bra fitter if you need extra help or a zoom fitting on hello@theverygoodbra.com
Please return for a refund to the above address and let us know it's coming to hello@theverygoodbra.com. You can also try and sell it on our Facebook Buy Swap and Sell group to minimise carbon footprint and postage costs. Many bras are finding new homes this way. If you want to get a different size, you will need to place a new order on the site.
RETURNS
To minimise carbon footprint and costs, please choose carefully and email hello@theverygoodbra.com for sizing advice or a virtual fitting.
We are happy to take returns domestically and internationally where garments arrive unworn, unwashed and in original condition, so please make sure you try before you wear. We need to receive the items back within 21 days of delivery to refund (we allow extra for international returns).
