Say hello to our 'easy fit' Liz Black Retro Bra. Made in and true to England, our Retro Bra is named after our lovely Elizabeth! Our Liz Bra is an utter classic 'pin up' piece.

Our Black Retro Bra is easy to fit into, smooth under clothing and comfortable!

For our Retro Bra, we've used recycled matt black stretch fabric, with a saucy see-through section at the top of the cup. So our bra isn't too stretchy, we've included power mesh on the wings and have added side bones for support.
Our Liz Retro Bra fits true to size. The cup is easier to fit than other true vintage or vintage-inspired bras, making this the perfect Retro Bra.

This piece is made from recycled yarn, 80% nylon and 20% lycra, and made in Nottingham, England.

We show off our retro stitch detailing on this piece with a 3mm foam padding in the bottom half. Included are light power mesh wings and a side bone for support. Some people have found this side bone to be uncomfortable, do bear this in mind when buying and trying on.

So this bra is fabulous

So this bra is fabulous. It provides a great base for fitted clothes. I prefer a vintage tailored shape. Modern lingerie often smoothes a bust too much. It also washes well like everything else from you guys. Underwear used to be the foundation of an outfit, for me this is still the case because I make my clothes to fit me exactly. So I'm delighted. Also vintage knickers look better under clothing.

I like that the bra has seams. I like that the bra doesn't have an under wire. I bought some bras from the treasure trove and learned that I was buying the wrong size. It has always been difficult to find a bra that actually fits. I need seams and structure or there is no point.

Bra with pizzazz!

My hubby bought this for me as something different! I didn’t exactly get the band size right as I probably didn’t go through the website thoroughly enough. This is probably more of an issue on the Bullet Bra. Having found the videos, they are most helpful. A strap extension should do the trick!
Both bras look great and certainly sparked an interest in retro outfits!
Great job Katie and team!
