I never knew a product like this existed, I just thought I could never wear a bralette without exposing too much! I wear a medium (for 32D) and this bralette has been perfect: seamless coverage with a light bralette feel and skinny straps. My daily go-to!
So thankful to have found this site as I have been seeking a bra with no show through and this one is so comfortable and discreet. It will have to be hand washed, though, but I still love it.
Janet! Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! So glad you found us too! It’s wonderful to hear that you have finally found the bra you've been looking for in the Elli Bralette. I will never grow tired of hearing this good news - it’s literally the reason I created it: to have a comfortable bra that hides my nipples without padding. It’s my go-to everyday bra, and I’m thrilled it works for you also!
Becky
P.S. - You don't need to hand wash it if you place it in a lingerie bag and machine wash on cold or warm settings. Hang to dry!
This is my new go to bralette for everything! It’s so comfortable and the quality is top notch. It rarely makes it back in my drawer because as soon as it’s laundered, I put it right back on. I need to order more. I’m a 34 A and purchased a Medium.
Update: The company reached out to me and sent me 2 bralettes in Large which are absolutely perfect! They also sent a return label so I could easily return the ones I did not keep. This company is WONDERFUL!!! They even sent me a link to update my review so I didn’t have to figure out where to go. So easy!!! Thanks Becky
34-36 B ordered a Medium which fit, they are soft comfortable hides nipples great for the HOT AZ summers, dry fast but I wish I would have read more reviews before I ordered because the shoulder straps & chest band are a little thin & I could have used a little more support which I later read that the large has a wider shoulder strap & chest band which would have provided the “support” I need to feel comfortable wearing these out of the house.
Hi Rebekah!
We’d be happy to send you L bralette for you to try. Indeed, it has wider straps, a deeper chest band, and more coverage overall, as compared to the M.
The premise behind wearing a bra that feels like not wearing a bra while at the same time feeling confident and safe - does not ring true if you feel like the bra is too small.
Check your inbox; we reached out personally about this as well.
Thank you Thank you for filling this need in the market. Comfy enough to sleep in and nothing shows through. So happy to discover this company. Bought 2 bralettes and will be buying more. Also just sent in one of my favorite bras for "retrofitting". Great customer service to assist me with that process. If on the fence GO FOR IT.
Highly recommend. Perfect balance of light bralette and discreet coverage.
This is the most comfortable bra I've ever tried. I had given up on wearing bras for years because I couldn't find either the right size for a small chest or a comfortable enough model to wear for long periods of time. This became an issue in the summer as most bralettes are virtually see-through under a t-shirt. This is the perfect cut and fit - not bulky but naturally shaping, and also incredibly soft on the skin. You can really tell that this is a bra made for women by women: it's so functional and well thought-out, and much better quality than anything I've seen on the market. It's so comfortable you can ever wear it as an exercise bra! I loved it so much that I stocked up on two more colours of the Elli.
I'm loving my custom bra in medium. I'm a 34C I like my bra little snug. Some may prefer size large. I'm 5'6 150lbs..I'm so excited about this concept Im considering trying the custom pedals in my personal bras. Non disclosure offers this service too!! 😃 I want to thank Becky for all her help.. I wish I lived near the store to go in and shop in person. These bras are great! A+
This is my second order with NDA. These bralettes are fantastic. Like the founder, I’ve always had issues with my headlights showing and sometimes I just don’t want to wear a structured, padded bra. These bralettes are super comfy and “get the job done”. I especially love them in the summer when I really can’t face wearing a heavy undergarment.
I have legitimately been searching for a bra like this for a decade. I usually wear 34B and struggled to find bras that fit right w/o gaping and had enough nipple coverage (and not a push-up level of padding). I resorted to t-shirt bras, but they never had enough coverage. I had been layering my outfits with cardigans, button-ups, and flannels for YEARS because I wanted nipple coverage just in case. This bra is worth every dollar. I purchased three bralettes in the nude color, size L. I now have access to my full wardrobe and can wear shirts, dresses, and tank tops without worrying about drawing attention away from my face. I never leave reviews for anything I buy, but this is worth it to me. Thank you for making this product; it has genuinely boosted my confidence.
I have been wearing bralettes for years and every morning I’d have a mini panic attack that the foam padding wasn’t going to be even or worse, it would be missing! This led to a lot of lost minutes in an already hectic morning. Now, I simply grab an Elli and goooo!! I’m comfortable ALL day long and I never once worry that anything is out of place or exposed 😉 love this invention!
I had been on the hunt for this exact style! It is far more comfortable than i I imagined!! Will be ordering more for sure!!!
This bra has been a game changer. I don’t like padded bras, and really the only reason why I need a bra for my small breasts is to hide my nipples. I feel like I have gone years not wearing so many types of shirts because everything showed my nipples in my non padded bralettes. Now I can wear thin shirts—and no nipple protrusion! Love it! I’m a 34 AA and the medium fits well 💗
This is IT!! I was so tired of bras that felt too bulky and uncomfortable and frustrated with removable padding or bralettes that had zero support or nipple coverage. This is the bra. I can’t believe how simple and effective and comfortable it is. Total genius!
I’ve been looking for a bra like this for years! Something with no padding but that has nipple coverage. This has the potential to be great but after wearing for a while, the bra naturally drops and shifts and the concealers are no longer covering the nipples. I’m a 34C and ordered a large. I’ve been told to just continue to make adjustments to it as I’m wearing it to ensure they are in place. Not ideal. I’ve tried tightening the straps but they feel too tight to keep everything in the right place. Maybe a medium size would be better. I don’t know.
Update 4/16/25 - best customer service ever! They refitted my petals in the bra so that they worked perfectly! I don’t know another company that would do that! Thanks, Becky!!!
The Elli Bralette is soft, stretchy, and seamless. It lacks a back clasp or any rigid structure that would hold it in place like a traditional bra.
Since the petals are fixed in place, they move with the bra, and occasional adjustments are needed to ensure the petal is centered over the nipple.
The Elli Bralette's unrestrictive design is what makes it so comfortable and sets it apart from other bras. The straps are made of fold-over elastic, allowing for stretch as well.
So, to be supple and structureless, the concession is that the bra will shift with the wearer, and gravity certainly plays a part. The concealing petals are oversized to compensate for this movement.
Minor adjustments, like a gentle tug, are needed when the petal shifts with the bra. Typically, this is a quick, subtle, and unconscious action that becomes second nature and is not meant to be annoying, which sounds like it is to you.
And that starts my wheels turning about whether our standard petal placement is right for you. I’d like to customize a bralette for you, installing the petals higher than usual so that when the bra shifts down, your nipples will still be under the petal.
I’m emailing you now to offer a custom bralette in exchange for the one you have.
Update 4/11/25: We're shipping her custom bralettes today! We can't wait to find out what she thinks!
Update 4/18/25: Absolutely thrilled that the custom petal placement works for you Mindy!!!!
This bra nearly brought tears of joy to my eyes. FINALLY, a comfortable, under-wire free, bra with effective coverage. I am a 34C, and I purchased a size L. I do think I may have been able to size down, but I’m very happy with my purchase!
My wife is very happy. She has been looking for something like this for a long time. She wanted a bra that concealed what was underneath but did not exaggerate at the same time. Was surprised that the sizing is correct to their instructions. Caroline was great, even texting me to ask if it were a gift seeing it was a man ordering. Will definitely be buying more.
Comfortable and easy to wear with crop tops (as opposed to larger straps)
I wear a 34B and purchased the medium size bralette. I love that it provides nipple coverage without all that foam. I don’t need any enhancement. Just the coverage! I hope they expand their selection of bras to include different styles!
This bra feels amazing. And it really does cover everything - which is a relief. I am going to order five more. I am a 32 C, and the large is perfect
Ordered 2 bras during the sale, size large (I’m 36C). I already had 3 bras and the new ones are great as expected. Thanks for the sale!
