Does ThirdLove’s T-Shirt Bra Live Up to the Hype?
I’ve never been completely satisfied with a bra — I’m the kind of gal who immediately takes off my bra when I get home — so I was curious to try ThirdLove, a startup that offers half cup sizes and makes their own styles of bras based on lots of data.
