Let’s go bra shopping!!
Not your favorite task? I get it!
Trying on a gazillion uncomfortable bras and trying to fasten the hooks, adjust the straps and pull and tug every which way to get them to fit? No thanks!
Once I find a bra I love, I usually buy it in multiples so I don’t have do the dreadful bra shopping again anytime soon.
But bra shopping doesn’t have to be so bad – especially when you find a company like Brook There, that has super comfy bra styles made from soft natural fibers instead of itchy synthetic materials.
Why You’ll Love Brook There Bras
Brook There is a sustainable underwear brand that specializes in underwear and bras made from organic cotton, with an emphasis on comfort. Founder Brook creates all the beautiful, minimalist lingerie designs herself and everything is hand-sewn in the United States.
Unlike most bras, Brook There bras have no uncomfortable underwires, no scratchy hook fasteners and no lumpy padding. All bra styles are constructed using a double layer of lightweight, organic cotton jersey fabric to provide plenty of discrete coverage. They are constructed in a slip-on style and have adjustable straps and no annoying back closure or hooks.
The company chooses to use organic fabrics because unlike conventional cotton, certified organic cotton is grown without using pesticides and herbicides, which is better for the planet and safer for your skin. Brook There uses GOTS certified organic fabric which also ensures that it is free from bleach, formaldehyde, toxic dyes and other toxic chemicals.
Brook There’s beautiful organic cotton bralettes are edged with a small amount of satiny elastic trim, giving them just a touch of elegance, along with the right amount of stretch, without any skin irritation.

How to Choose a Bra that Fits Your Needs
Before you go bra shopping, and especially if you are planning to purchase a bra online, it’s important to take good measurements.
Brook There recommends measuring both over the fullest part of the bust and under the bust (where your bra band sits). Then use their sizing guide to find the perfect size. Note: If you are in between sizes, they recommend sizing up.
Depending on your size and other needs, you can choose the bra style that works best for you.
Brook There Organic Cotton Bra Styles
Brook There makes three styles of wireless bras so there is something for everyone, whether you have a small cup size or a larger cup size, and whether you want standard bra straps, or something convertible.
Brook There Triangle Bra
The Triangle Bra is a bralette style that is perfect for smaller cup sizes (A or B cups). It has a V-neck and works well with a variety of top styles and is great for everyday wear.
Brook There Pixi Bra
The Pixi Bra is a more supportive style for larger cup sizes (C or D cups). It has horizontal seams across the front to provide extra support, without sacrificing comfort.
Brook There Curve Convertible Bra
The Curve Convertible Bra is an adjustable bra with convertible bra straps that can be crossed in the back (great for wearing with tank tops or sleeveless dresses), or worn vertical like a typical bra. Curved seams and a scoop neck give it a soft and pretty shape. This one works for cup sizes up to a C cup.
Brook There bras come in an array of earth and jewel toned colors made using natural dyes, as well as an undyed version, which is perfect for anyone with sensitive skin. My favorite color is Cairn, which is a dusty purple – it’s SO pretty!
