(Almost) Zero-Waste Bras in Supportive Braided Lace
"While this may at first look like a crochet or a knit, it’s neither. It’s a braid, with the difference being in how it’s made – and importantly, how it fits and supports the body." ~Estelle Puleston
...one of the most comfortable bras I've ever owned!
"Looking for a SUPER comfy bralette? I was sent a bunch of designs to try out by Tensengral for a sponsored article, but I've kept wearing their reversible HiLo bra regularly since because it is honestly one of the most comfortable bras I've ever owned!"

...Well-made with a high quality Tencel fibre; they appear to be fine worn on their own as an article of clothing, or like a regular bra under the clothes. According to my wife they are very comfortable.

I fell asleep with it on and then was able to pull it up easily and breastfeed. I'm in LOVE with them!

AMBI Classic
AMBI Classic is our original lace bra style with a slip knot tensioning yarn on the open pattern high side. The slip knot can be used to tension areas of the fabric creating a center "pucker" and upward draw under the breasts. The low cut side has a tieable yarn that can adjust the overall hug of the bra.
