“This bra is absolutely fabulous,” said one commenter.

“I was lucky enough to be one of the product testers for this bra. I truly felt sexy again!! after nine years post-surgery and wearing drab boring bras. The first time I wore this even my husband commented how lovely I looked in it and he saw how confident I felt. It’s the little things like this that can put a smile back on your face thanks Breast Cancer Australia and Berlei.”

The bra is retailing for $65, with ALL the proceeds going to Breast Cancer Network Australia.

Nice work, Berlei.
