Proudly crafted in our British factory, where vintage-inspired lingerie has been expertly made for over a decade, this retro soft cup bra reflects What Katie Did’s dedication to traditional craftsmanship. It’s made from sustainable recycled yarn (80% nylon, 20% lycra), providing comfort with a lighter environmental footprint.

Combining the elegance of 1950s-inspired lingerie with modern practicality, the Liz Nouveau Bra is perfect for vintage lovers and anyone seeking a soft-cup, wire-free bra that doesn’t compromise on style. Classic retro stitching enhances the lower cups, while sheer upper panels add a sophisticated, lightly revealing detail. Its soft construction offers gentle shaping and support, making it an ideal everyday choice or the finishing touch to your retro wardrobe.

Whether you’re pairing it with high-waisted knickers for a complete vintage set or wearing it as a comfortable, stylish everyday bra, the Liz Nouveau is a modern classic with a distinctly retro soul.

-   Say hello to our 'easy fit' Liz Black Retro Bra. Made in and true to England, our Retro Bra is named after our lovely Elizabeth! Our Liz Bra is an utter classic 'pin up' piece.
    
    ## Our Black Retro Bra is easy to fit into, smooth under clothing and comfortable!
    
    For our Retro Bra, we've used recycled matt black stretch fabric, with a saucy see-through section at the top of the cup. So our bra isn't too stretchy, we've included power mesh on the wings and have added side bones for support.
    
-   Our Liz Retro Bra fits true to size. The cup is easier to fit than other true vintage or vintage-inspired bras, making this the perfect Retro Bra.
    
    This piece is made from recycled yarn, 80% nylon and 20% lycra, and made in Nottingham, England.
    
    We show off our retro stitch detailing on this piece with a 3mm foam padding in the bottom half. Included are light power mesh wings and a side bone for support. Some people have found this side bone to be uncomfortable, do bear this in mind when buying and trying on.
