About

Closing the size gap

Glamorise is a plus-size bra and sports bra brand designing comfortable, supportive bras for curvy women in more sizes than any other company (130+ sizes). Glamorise believes women of all shapes and cup sizes deserve a bra that doesn't just fit well enough, but fits to a T — or in this case, an B to a K — without digging, slipping, pulling or poking. Glamorise designs and perfects bra styles at its New York City sewing studio using fit model feedback, rigorous testing, correcting and refitting until every size fits as it should.

Founding Story

Glamorise Foundations, Inc. established its design studio and business office in Manhattan in 1921, where it remains today. From its inception, the company made products exclusively designed for curvy women, closing the size inclusivity gap and making it the oldest privately held plus-size bra company in the United States.

The style of undergarments may have transformed significantly from when Glamorise opened its doors more than 100 years ago, but the company's mission of size inclusivity and designing for the perfect curvy fit has not waivered.
