A night bra that fights wrinkles has been launched.
It’s a problem all women face as they get older – wanting a tan but having to deal with the wrinkles it causes to our skin. This especially visible on our chests, made worse by sleeping on our sides at night.
Now a bra has been specifically designed to be worn at night, to keep breasts lifted and separated whilst the wearer sleeps.
Called La Decollette, the bra’s inventor, Rachel de Boer, comments that for years she secretly slept in an old bra to which she had sewn stuffed socks that nestled between her breasts, keeping them apart so vertical lines did not develop.
“It started out as my secret, I didn’t want to talk about my wrinkles or the first bra I made, which was ugly. I slept like that for seven years and then I turned 40, told my friends and they admitted they shared the same problem.”
When her friends asked for help, De Boer made five more versions of her night bra. Her friends were so enthusiastic about the results, they encouraged her to quit her day job and commercially produce an anti-wrinkle night bra.
The La Decollette has been a hit in Europe and is now on sale at Selfridges for £45. I bought mine on Amazon. It consists of a soft, padded, rectangular piece of fabric that covers the decolletage from the neckline to the top of the rib cage, sitting between the breasts to keep them lifted and separated.
The cupless bra prevents the breasts pressing together while the wearer sleeps, which Ms De Boer suggests is the probable cause of vertical wrinkles on women’s.
