Boux Avenue Ribbed Seamless Scallop Bralette Review

I love wearing loungewear when I’m at home – as soon as I walk in the door I swap it for cosy, soft separates and fluffy socks. The same can be said for my bra. When I’m in ‘couch mode’ I swap the more structured and underwired style for a softer bralette, so I was overjoyed when I discovered this really comfortable bra from Boux Avenue.

Aside from looking pretty, this stretchy bra is perfect for anyone looking for the best bras for back fat, as it’s seamless and sits beautifully on your skin without any lumps or bumps. The bra was launched earlier this year and has been a huge hit – selling out within days after receiving rave reviews on social media.

It all sounded too good to be true, but I was pleasantly surprised when I tried it out – it’s comfortable, smooth, and I love the bell-bottom-inspired color. It’s quickly become my go-to for a quiet weekend at home. It offers just the right amount of support (and has removable cups), and the scalloped edges give it a feminine touch that adds a little sparkle to my outfit – even if it’s my oversized hoodie and leggings combo!

I wore it all day long and when testing it out, I considered the design, material, and overall fit, as well as how it smoothed out the front and back. Whether you’re looking for the best bra for big busts or just want to add a new piece to your everyday wardrobe, this bra is a winner.

Boux Avenue Ribbed Seamless Scallop Bralette Review: Comfort and Fit

The super soft ribbed material is wonderfully soft to wear and incredibly comfortable for a day off. While it didn’t provide enough support to run for the bus, the gentle support held my breasts in check much better than some other bralettes I’ve worn in the past, without feeling tight or constricting. I liked that you could also remove the moulded cups – it’s nice to have the option of an even softer bra.

The material is a stretchy but strong combination of polyamide and elastane, and it is also brilliantly breathable. I wore it on an unseasonably warm day and felt comfortable the entire time.

I wear a size 12, I have a 38B bust and I chose size M which fit really well. I would say the size is perfect and the stretchy material makes it loose.

In addition to being comfortable, the bra also has excellent smoothing properties. The wavy edge and seamless design made it invisible under a T-shirt, and the wider back eliminated any worries about visible back fat or sagging. The bra lay smoothly and neatly under clothing.

Boux Avenue Ribbed Seamless Scallop Bralette Review: Style

I absolutely loved the soft lilac-blue hue of this bra, and it also comes in four other colours, including a pastel pink and a powder grey. The delicate V-neckline in the front was flattering to the bust, while the wider back helped to smooth it out. The lovely scalloped edges also gave it a really feminine feel.

Due to its super stretchy and non-wired construction, this bra can be easily washed in the washing machine without any worries. It held its shape well and was just as soft after washing. The material also dried very quickly.

Boux Avenue Ribbed Seamless Scallop Bralette Review: Verdict

I spend a lot of time in my loungewear when I’m at home, and this super soft bra was a great new addition to my cozy wardrobe. While it didn’t provide enough support when I went out, it held my bust nicely in check all day at home and was comfortable enough that I wore it from morning to night without any complaints. It fit well under a t-shirt with no visible lumps or sagging and quickly became my favorite weekend outfit.
