BL-01Short Sleeve
Ribbed short sleeve, wide round neck, cap-height sleeve. Six colours: white, ivory, blush, grey, two prints.
Home / Base Layers
Base layers and padded tops, cut and sewn in the same workshop
A second line, made on the same floor that knits our brace liners: ribbed short-sleeve and long-sleeve tops and camisoles with sewn-in cup padding, in six colours and a print option. This page is for buyers sourcing a base layer, not a liner.
What this line is, and what it is not
What this line is
A ribbed knit top or cami, cut from flat panels and sewn up the sides, with cup padding sewn into a pocket mesh at the bust. Neckline, armhole and hem are bound with a rib trim. Six stock colours, one print, three silhouettes.
What this line is not
It is not a brace liner, and it is not seamless. If what you need is a tube knitted in one piece with no side seam — that is our liner range. We run both constructions, and we will tell you which one a style actually needs.
Two constructions under one roof is the point: the machine gauge that suits a thin liner is wrong for a padded top, and the reverse is also true.
Three silhouettes, one rib
Same yarn, same needle, same trim. What changes is the sleeve and the neckline depth.
BL-02Long Sleeve
Same body, long sleeve, crew neckline. The piece that sells through autumn and winter in northern markets.
BL-03Cami
Narrow strap, scoop neck, solid and print. The lightest piece in the range and the cheapest to ship.
What the construction actually looks like
Close-ups, not adjectives. The seams are visible on purpose — this is a sewn garment and we describe it as one.

Fabric, colour and what you can change
Everything below is stock. Anything outside it is a sampling conversation, not a promise on this page.
Rib knit
Vertical rib body with a rib trim at the neckline, armhole and hem. Two weights available for sampling — the exact yarn count and fabric weight are confirmed on the spec sheet for your order.
Six colours + print
White, ivory, blush, grey, and two print grounds. Colour is matched to your swatch or to a Pantone reference on the spec sheet.
Padding
Sewn-in cup padding in a pocket mesh, removable or fixed depending on the style. Pad thickness and cup shape are set per order.
