Cotton Bras and Bra Sets

Designers create cotton brassieres to offer supportive and soft comfort and fit. Sometimes called T-shirt bras, a cotton brassiere is designed to look smooth under form-fitting clothing like cotton tanks, T-shirts, and body-conscious jersey dresses. Cotton bras in sets can be all-natural fiber or a cotton/polyester blend and will include a matching brassiere and panty or brief.

A wire-free or wireless cotton brassiere is soft on the skin, and an unlined model offers smoothness for comfort. Wirefree styles for larger or plus sizes are also engineered to provide the necessary support.

• A wire-free cotton support brassiere for full figures includes support panels and comfortable straps.
• Wirefree sports designs offer support and breathable comfort during workouts.
• Padded models with cups offer coverage, support, and comfortable wear.

Choose an athletic look with Hanes or Calvin Klein modern bralettes and sets. You can find coordinated, matching top and bikini sets, or fabric-dyed stretch-top and thong sets. Modern natural fiber top and bottom sets are usually more tailored, while boho, lace, and distressed denim or all-over tie-dye bra-and-panty sets can echo the '60s and offer a touch of sexiness along with softness. Organic cotton bra sets are free of additives and may be suitable for wearers with allergies and sensitivities.

Bralettes and sports bras are found in larger women's sizes. They often do not have synthetic inserts, or they have removable inserts, which enables them to have comfortable breathability. Traditional styles with back closures and straps are available in band sizes up to 46 and cup sizes from C to H. Zip fit styles offer support and ease of wear.

When people hear "cotton bra," they almost always think of white, or perhaps a nude tone to wear under a sheer white blouse. Sets come in every color of the rainbow and numerous patterns, including floral, tie-dye, and batik. A natural fiber-and-polyester or lycra blend will hold its shape, color, and pattern through numerous launderings.

An unlined bra, with or without an underwire, has a single layer of fabric that will allow your skin to breathe even in hot weather. Lined bras have double layers, and some have polyester outer layers and soft natural-fiber inner layers. Yet another variation is the padded bra, which consists of a molded synthetic-foam cup that is sandwiched between two layers of fabric.
