I have been looking for this bra for years. It is everything and exactly what I always wanted. Thank you!
Just what I was looking for -- they fit well, and I love that the straps look more like a cami than bra straps.
We have multiple Elli bralettes. Just adding a new color into my daughter’s collection. These are fabulous bralettes for younger girls who don’t need extra padding or hard to put on bras. I recommend these to all my friends with young daughters.
My favorite everyday bra! I found it at a boutique this summer and searched for it online because I've worn it so much. It has the comfort of a bralette, but also has enough support for me to wear on a daily basis. The Elli bralette is a new wardrobe staple for me!
I've had 2 of these bras for around a year, and their comfort has ruined any chance of me liking other bras. Would love for these to be my ONLY bra, but unfortunately the small concealer slides off center too easily and the slightest slide leaves headlights shining, forcing me to wear my uncomfortable but nipple hiding back up "regular" bra in public. PLEASE can you make the thickest part of the concealer larger?? I've considered buying more, but the frequent headlighting I deal with is keeping me away. I understand I may need to occasionally adjust, but you can't feel things have slid so you walk around with the headlights on bright-long before realizing...For reference, I started with M/L but was too tight so ordered L/XL and that's what I've been wearing-normally 36B. (order placed before sizing update)
Hi Leana! Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback - it's so helpful to all who read this. Interesting you mention the size of the concealing petal. We’re in the process of tweaking our concealer a bit, looking at all sizes, especially the large as it is the next up for production.
Aside: When designing the concealing petal, we were worried that the size of the smallest, most rigid circle in the concealer, seemed like an overkill at 1.5” in diameter (smaller sizes 3/8”). If too large it causes a flattening effect. If to small, it risks not being able to capture every nipple location. That said, and to your point, we are in fact considering increasing the diameter for our Large bra.
I wear size medium (34B), and have to adjust for sure. It's second nature to me since the Elli Bralette is only bra I’ve worn it since launching (3 years). When I first put it on, I make sure the concealers are centered on my nipple, peeking inside to make sure. My good friend wears size large (34D). Her nipples are a little off center, closer to her breast bone, and I notice her adjusting too. She's also worn the Elli Bralette for 3 years so adjusting the concealing petal to make sure it’s on her nipple is an unconscious act.
Boning, seams, molded cups and rigid shaping mechanisms are what’s used to keep a bra somewhat in place. The Elli Bralette has none of these, hence its extreme level of comfort (and thank you for mentioning that). It’s seamless and stretchy, it moves when you move so when the concealer escapes, the cups need a quick adjustment. Bummer, I know. I’m not quite sure how to fix it without compromising the comfort of the bra. Perhaps adjusting the petal size will help.
Thank you again for weighing in on your experience with the Elli Bralette. I want you to know we’re listening to you and appreciate everything you’ve told us!!
I love the Elli Bralette. The material feels good and the bra is comfortable. I have one and ordered two more. It is the only bra I wear.
Hi there! Thank you for taking the time to submit this STELLAR review! of the. Yes, once you've tried the Elli Bralette , your 'other' bras don't stand much of a chance for getting back in rotation.
This bra is exactly what I’ve been searching for — a comfortable, unlined bralette that conceals the nips. I cannot understand why lingerie designers haven’t figured out that bralettes with removable pads are despised by basically every woman on the planet. The owner of this company has solved that problem. My bra size is typically a 33/34AAA but since becoming pregnant I’ve puffed out to probably a full A cup. I ordered a Medium because I hate anything overly tight and it fits great. The nipple concealing petals sewn into the bra seem stiff but they’re actually very comfortable. Pregnancy has caused some sensitivity in the nips but the petals feel like a nice little protective shield around them. The only flaw of this bra is that the outline of the concealing petals is visible, but I can’t see anything showing through my shirt so it’s not a deal breaker. I must also mention that the owner took the time to include a hand written note with my order which was packaged absolutely beautifully. If you’re hesitant, just buy the bra because this company must succeed! I’ll be a repeat customer for sure!
Wow! Thank you Lauren! Sounds like this bra is made for you too! Yes, the concealing petals, especially traveling in cold weather to get there, do feel a bit stiff in the bralette's newest state. As you've found, the concealers soften from body heat alone.
Yes! You can see the outline of the concealing petal, if wearing just the bra, when looking in the mirror. I'm t-shirt girl and ya can't see the petals through anything I'm wearing either. That said, as the outline of the petals is the only 'complaint' we've received, we're redesigning the layers thereof so that it's even less visible.
Thank you for your kind words and for taking time to wire an online review. It's so helpful to us and anyone reading this, wondering if this bra is actually for real!

I finally found a bra my pre teen will wear without complaint! The Ellie bra does everything it says it will! I’m about to order her more, and maybe even one for myself!
Jennifer - So glad to hear it! Thank you for taking the time to submit a review! Indeed, the Elli Bralette is exactly as we describe: incredibly comfy (not to mention, super cute) and nipple concealing - a simple concept, really. It's a great bra for preteens because young girls do NOT need (or want) to wear anything that's pokey, scratchy, puffy (or too thin) just to have a bit of modesty!
I bought a couple of these for my daughter & she wears them constantly. They wash well & get softer with wear.
I ordered my bralette in what I thought was my size but it turned out to be too small. Becky was quick to reply to my email and offered to send out the next size up with a return label enclosed. It came, it fit, I LOVED it! The attention to detail in the packaging, communication and product is outstanding. Thank you!
So comfortable for travel! I wear them for my long haul flights overseas and never even know I am wearing it
I've been wearing the Storm (gray) and Azalea (beautiful pink) Classic for over 6 months now, and love them! I've had pierced nipples (rings with a ball) for 15 years and always had to wear padded or thick underwire bras to conceal them under a shirt... until this bralette. And Becky provides excellent customer service. I'm buying more now!
A few tips/lessons learned: 1) initially, the bras were tight in the straps and chest band, but they relaxed with a few wears. 2) the bralette is not straitjacket-tight (thank goodness), so the petals can sometimes migrate off the nipples and need readjustment (not a big deal). 3) after a hot & sweaty summer, the Storm (gray) fabric became faded/discolored/brownish at the chest band in front- still perfectly functional, a little less pretty. The Azalea fabric color is holding up well. 4) Storm and Azalea colors do show through lightweight/light-colored shirts.
I can't wait for the racerback option in size M, and for Beach to be in back in stock =)
Without hesitation, I fully recommend this bralette. The internal concealer pad is amazing, and the fabric is so comfortable. I bought one, and after my young daughter wore her first bralette for just a day, I ordered two more. She feels confident and prefers to wear it 24/7 because it's cozy. No harsh elastic bands like we used to have in training bras. Definitely worth the price, and the personal handwritten note from Becky in each package...really special. Will continue supporting this small business. Becky's decision to create this is such a gift for our preteen daughters. I am grateful.
My daughter was nervous about her first bra and really just wanted it to cover — not for support! Becky’s product couldn’t have put her more at ease. Thank you, Becky, for taking the time to create such a wonderful product — and the wrapping and personalized note just made it actually fun, memorable and exciting for her! 🤩 Stellar product and customer service!!
The fabric is super soft, comfortable and provides great support! I’m excited to include this bralette as part of my weekly rotation.
I was so excited to get my Elli Bralette. I have a 13 year old daughter who is so uncomfortable discussing anything bra related. The Elli Bralette has made this so much easier in my home. My daughter feels comfortable and confident as her body changes. I loved the ease of them I got a few for myself too...they are so easy to sleep in and transition to an early morning at the gym! Thank for these! I highly highly highly recommend!
I have a drawer full of bras and the Ellie bra in Praline is the one I wear the most. It's comfortable, supportive, doesn't cut in anywhere, and makes my 48 year old 34D boobs look great! Thank you!♥️Christine
I placed an order a few months ago and was so pleased with the comfort of the bralette. For my job though, I discovered that it would ride up and was not covering me well. I chatted with Becky, and she suggested I go up a size and give that a try. Worked out perfectly!! I use the larger size for work and the smaller size for regular days/when I dress up. I would definitely recommend having a couple different sizes depending on the time of month/what you might be doing that day. I'm still very pleased that this bralette does not cause me back pain like other bras I have worn in the past.
I love this bra! I wore it with my work clothes and in workouts and barely knew it was on! I will be ordering so many more
I took a chance on NDA after searching far and wide for a comfy bra that provided coverage for my nipples. This bra is well-made, comfortable, and does the job. The personalized note and beautiful packaging was a sweet surprise.
