The Tie Bra

The Tie Bra is a lovely and simple bra with straps that tie together at the back. The bra's design gives the option for personal shaping and adjustments along the way, fitting many different body types and needs. 

The Tie Bra is worked sideways, starting with the back piece behind the left arm, over the chest and ending on the right side of the back.

Wear the top in the summer with a pair of high-waisted jeans or shorts, or wear it underneath a thin blouse in the colder months.
