Cool, Comfy, CUTE Summer Bras at Simply Be (simplybe.com)
In hot weather, when no-one wants plastic next to their skin, a comfy cotton bra is Heaven-sent! Finally, the search for the perfect large-size cotton bra (perfect fit, supportive, comfortable, pretty) has a contender, if you fit into an "I" cup or less.
Simply Be, a British company that's new to the US market, but not to curvy ladies' needs, has cotton bras! Not orthopedic, ugly-but-practical ones, but "Oooo! That's Cute!" bras. And not just in full coverage. I bought a balconnette style (wearable with tops that show moderate cleavage) and wore it, gardening, on a hot summer day, leaning over, stretching, carrying things in HEAT. It passed with flying colors! Comfy, cool, and my mirror loved it!
They don't have a big selection, Usually only 1 or 2 styles at a time, but those of you who've been looking for cotton bras due to health considerations or just the love of comfort, know that most companies don't have anything at all!
This ticks off every requirement! It's perfect fit, supportive, comfortable, pretty and even embroidered!
I've washed this 8 times with no problems. Hand-wash, drip-dry.
Those of us who want machine wash and dry can continue dreaming.
In the meantime, this makes a great profile and you'll feel great!
Be beautiful!

Soft Surroundings has some lovely clothes that, on clearance, cost the same as similar items at Roaman's do when full price.
Still, They have some nice designs that are more upscale than most vendors. Sometimes you find THE perfect item.
I was just talking to one of their telephone order takers and got a more straightforward answer than I'm used to.
The problem I called about was size. I couldn't find a listing on their website to tell what measurements fit what size. Since, depending on the store, I'm currently a 20, 22 or 24 and occasionally, a 26, I wanted some guarantee that I wasn't wasting my time here.
The phone sales clerk assured me that while shopping online is great with their store, guessing sizes online is very iffy, since each of their items may have different ideas of size.
You need to have your current measurements in front of you and then call and the telephone clerk can look up the actual measurements of the item you're considering and you you can compare them with your measurements.
You may save a lot of time dealing with returns!
