Frequently Asked Questions

Our bralettes are made in the USA. Our concealing petals are manufactured in New York, and our bras are knitted, sewn, and dyed in California.

• The bralette is made in the USA through small batch production, and we incur high labor costs to assemble it.
• Our concealing petals are cut by hand and then sent to our bralette manufacturer to be heat sealed into the cups by hand.
• In other words, it's not the box store bralette that's mass-produced overseas.

• A seamless bralette is knitted in a single, continuous piece without any seams or back clasp.

The Elli Bralette is made from a premium OEKO-TEX nylon/spandex blend (92/8). It's soft and stretchy, offering "gentle hugging" support.

The adjustable strap hardware is nickel-free alloy.

If you’re used to molded cup t-shirt bras that help shape your breasts, you might find the Elli to be flattening by comparison. Interestingly, the Elli Bralette has been reported to create cleavage. To see it in action, check out this Instagram video of Non Disclosure Apparel founder Becky Connelly (5′-9″, 135 lbs, 34B, Elli Bralette size: M).

Try it on when your skin is 100% clean and dry (free deodorant, lotion, self-tanner, oils, or fragrance, etc.). Here's our Returns and Exchange policy.

Gently pull the bralette over your head OR step into it and carefully pull up to meet your breasts. Adjust the cups so that each nipple is in the center of concealing petal. Adjust the straps as needed.

If you are wearing the correct size, give it a couple of days to get to know your body. It will become supple and have the perfect amount of stretch. 

If it's way too tight, it's probably too small. The Elli Bralette is designed to feel like you're not wearing a bra, so "too tight" defeats that purpose. We're happy to exchange it for the next size up if available. Check out our Size Chart or Contact Us with any sizing questions.

Reach inside the cup and adjust your breast so that your nipple is centered beneath the concealing petal. You can also loosen or tighten the straps to reposition it. The Elli Bralette is stretchy, so moving the cup back and forth or up and down to center your nipple under the concealer will also work.

• What if that doesn't work? Don't worry! We provide customized petal placement, made-to-order at no extra charge. Contact us, and we'll make sure you're all set!

The bralettes have been lying flat and stacked in inventory. Often, this causes the concealer to look "flat" at first glance. Don't worry, you can reshape it to a convex form.

Here’s a brief video demonstration.

The concealing petal is permanently sealed inside the bra using a pneumatic heat press. With regular tugging—such as pulling it over your head, washing, stepping into it, or pulling the cups down for nursing—the concealing petal will not shift, move, or detach.

"Hand Wash and Hang to Dry" is the recommended way to wash the bralette. Why? Because repeated washing machine and dryer cycles can damage the bra's integrity (you already know this). 

If you need to use the washing machine, put it in a mesh lingerie bag and select a delicate cycle with cold water. 

Hang to Dry: With cups facing downward, hang by looping the back band around a hook, hanger, door knob, tub faucet, ironing board, or a similar object. 

This bra will become your new best friend, so you'll want to take good care of it. If the bralette ends up in the dryer, be prepared for it to feel a bit tighter after 45 minutes of tumbling in heat.
