I like this bra but the stitching inside is scratchy - particularly where the straps and label are attached. Would like wider straps too - bras in larger cup sizes need wider straps and underbands. Scaling up from a bra design that suits women with smaller breasts doesn't work for larger sizes. Such a basic mistake which so many bra manufacturers make. Have been saying this for YEARS.

I had my doubts about ordering this, despite reading the great reviews. It was worth a try.
I need't have worried as the support it gives is great and it's comfy, as well as giving separation which I do not get from the sleep bras. Also very low under the arms which is another plus. Although the shape it gives is like a minimiser bra.
In some ways it looks and feels like a bikini top and so it doesn’t matter if it shows under your top on a hot day. In fact you could whip your top off at the beach and soak up the sun without looking out of place.

This is my favourite bra. No wires and it's really supportive and gives a great shape under my clothes. Lovely soft fabric and pretty colours, what's not to like. Also offers some separation of the boobs and looks really flattering. A firm favourite!
So comfortable5 out of 5 stars

Wasn't sure about this bra at first but when I put it on I couldn't believe how comfortable and supportive it was. I've always had trouble with non wired bras giving me a mono boob. With the Nova bra I had no issues, it hugs the boobs and creates a really flattering shape. Now I've bought one in every colour.
Good idea but not well executed2 out of 5 stars

A non-wired bra that’s supportive, shapes and separates your boobs and doesn’t give you a mono boob? Sounds amazing and too good to be true, which it was. First, the band: I wear 28/30 for the band and this was slightly too big on me. Those with smaller frames, beware. Second: one of the reviewers mentioned the crossover design being a problem because it means one boob is more supported than the other, and she was right. It also gives your boobs completely different shapes and hence makes it look lopsided. Third: shape/fit. I have close set boobs and these more than most bras really pushed my boobs to the side. Definitely an East-west fit, not forward facing. Fourth: support. Compared to the Flora, which is good to go out and about in, this was pretty bad. It’s strictly suitable for home wear since I was bouncing a lot. I feel like the ‘cup’ and strap being 1 whole piece really lessens the support.
OK initially3 out of 5 stars

Review by Sarah on
I tried this on with the help of the lovely ladies in the Oxford store but after a few hours the strap seems to fold in on itself and digs on on the top of the left shoulder right where the material and pieces join which is a common situation with bras. So this means you end up with seams and thick material congregating and causing a lot of discomfort.
