Description

Create beautiful and comfortable matching lingerie sets with the Zenita Wireless Bra and Tulip Hi-Cut Panty bundle.

Zenita Wireless Bra:

Elegance and comfort are combined in the Zenita Wireless Bra. Lace comes to life in the multiple options for cup and band styles, or experiment with sheer and solid color-blocking for a vintage look bra. Zenita is a full-coverage, vertical-seam supportive bra without wires.

All options are fully lined with enclosed or covered seams for comfort and support. Optional boning at the cup/cradle seams can add even more support. Zenita is similar in fit to the Annika Wireless Bra, with more options for lace overlays, color-blocking, and band styles.
