Not to mention, it comes in a choice of flattering colours that are to die for.

Our review: "I've never tried a minimiser bra before, but this minimiser bra is NOTHING like what I had in mind - in the best way possible. I was so surprised at how unbelievably comfortable and supportive it was, despite having lightweight semi-sheer unpadded cups. It's the perfect balance between keeping you supported while allowing you to breathe, and it's hands-down become a new everyday favourite for me. Despite being a 34D, I definitely don't have a bigger bust, so I can't comment on how well it minimises for those with a larger cup size. However, I did notice that it did make me look about a cup size smaller, so it's definitely a win in my eyes."
