What size should I order?
Measure around the fullest part of your bust with a soft tape, keep it level, and order by that number. There are no cup sizes to decode — the built-in shelf bra stretches to cover a 30 to 56 inch bust across the XS to 6XL range.
| Size | Fits bust | Size | Fits bust |
|---|---|---|---|
| XS | up to 32" | 2XL | 41.5–44.5" |
| S | 32–34" | 3XL | 44.5–47.5" |
| M | 34–36" | 4XL | 47.5–50.5" |
| L | 36–38.5" | 5XL | 50.5–53.5" |
| XL | 38.5–41.5" | 6XL | 53.5–56" |
Everything is completely true to size. We recommend picking by your bust measurement, and the whole range is designed to accommodate it.
Rather not pull out a tape measure? The size & fit guide has more detail, and our support team can help you choose.I am between two sizes. Up or down?
Size down if you want firmer shaping and more of a supportive feel. Size up if you want a relaxed, barely-there fit.
If you land exactly on a boundary number, the size & fit guide is the best reference. If your bust measurement is very close to the top of a size, choose the next size up.
The rule is simple: choose based on your bust measurement first, then use the size guide if you are between sizes.
Do you carry plus sizes, or is XL your ceiling?
The range runs from XS through 6XL, with bust measurements covered from 30 to 56 inches.
I have a long torso. Will it be long enough to tuck?
The Sculpt Tank is designed with enough length for normal tucking and coverage through the waist and hips. If you have a particularly long torso, sizing by bust first is still the priority.
Am I a DD or larger. Will this hold me?
The built-in shelf bra is designed around bust measurement rather than cup size. The double-layer front and compression provide support without relying on a traditional underwire cup.
My size is changing right now. Should I wait to order?
You do not need to wait. Order according to your current bust measurement, and use the free size exchange if your size changes within the return window.
Will it work after a mastectomy, or with a prosthesis?
Styles with removable pads let you take a pad out on one side to balance a prosthesis, which several customers do. If you are freshly post-op, check with your surgeon on compression first.
Support & Comfort
Is the built-in bra actually supportive, or just a thin shelf?
It is a real internal structure, not a token liner. The support comes from three things working together: a double-layer front panel, an integrated shelf bra with shaped padding, and compression fabric that holds from the ribcage rather than hanging everything from your shoulders.
Support level by style:
- Light to medium — Sculpt Tank, Ribbed Sculpt, camisoles, long sleeves. Everyday wear, work, travel, errands.
- Medium, with an inner elastic band — the workout tanks and crop tanks. Yoga, pilates, strength work, walking.
Will the padding shift, bunch or fall out in the wash?
No. The pads use a partially sewn-in construction — anchored in place, not floating loose in a pocket like removable inserts that come out crumpled in the dryer.
We tested it through 20-plus wash cycles with zero movement, and the padding is designed to remain stable through regular washing.
Can I take the pads out?
It depends on the style, and it is worth checking before you order:
- Removable pads: High Neck Workout Tank, Racerback Crop Tank, Long-Sleeve Sculpt, Braless Camisole.
- Fixed padding: Sculpt Tank, Ribbed Sculpt Tank, Plus Size Sculpt Tank, French-Inspired Camisole.
Fixed padding is the trade-off for padding that never shifts. If you want the option to remove it, pick from the first list.
Can I wear this instead of a bra, or is it only for layering?
Both, and most people end up doing both. The built-in bra is supportive enough to wear on its own, and the double-layer front means nobody can tell you are not wearing a bra underneath.
It also layers cleanly under a blazer, cardigan or open shirt without the bulk of a bra plus a tank plus a top.
Will the straps dig into my shoulders?
They should not, because the straps are not doing the work. The compression band under the bust carries the weight, so the straps only stabilize.
The Plus Size Sculpt and the workout tanks use deliberately wide straps to spread pressure. The Braless Camisole and Tummy Control Camisole use adjustable straps if you want to fine-tune the lift.
Is there underwire, or anything to fasten in back?
Neither. No underwire, no hooks, no clasp, no adjusting anything behind your back. It pulls on over your head like a tank top, which is the entire point.
That also means nothing to poke through the fabric after six months, and no metal in the wash.
Will it create back bulge the way a bra band does?
The opposite — that is what the seamless side design is for. The built-in support stops at your sides rather than cinching across your back, so there is no band cutting a line where a bra band would sit.
The compression is spread over a much wider area than a one-inch elastic strip, which is why it smooths instead of segmenting.
Fabric & Care
What is it actually made of?
The Sculpt Tank is a 66% polyamide / 34% elastane seamless knit — a milk-silk-style blend that is paper-thin, four-way stretch, moisture-wicking and does not go baggy.
Other styles vary by what they are for:
- Ribbed Sculpt Tank — 97% polyester, 3% elastane. Wrinkle-resistant rib knit.
- Braless Camisole — 47.5% modal, 47.5% cotton, 5% spandex. The softest of the range.
- French-Inspired Camisole — 80% cotton, 16% polyester, 4% elastane.
- Workout tanks — nylon and spandex seamless knit for moisture-wicking and low friction.
Every material breakdown is listed on its own product page.
How do I wash it?
Machine wash cold. Tumble dry low. That is the whole instruction — no hand-washing, no mesh bag, no laying flat overnight. It goes in with your regular laundry.
Two things that extend its life: skip the fabric softener, and avoid high heat, which is what breaks down stretch fibers in any garment.
Will it stretch out or pill after a few months?
The seamless knit is built for recovery — it returns to shape rather than gradually growing a size, which is the usual failure mode of stretchy tanks. The ribbed styles are additionally wrinkle-resistant and hold their shape without deformation.
Pilling is mostly a friction issue. Washing cold and drying low is the single biggest thing you can do to prevent it.
Is it see-through under white or light colors?
No. The double-layer front provides coverage, while the exact opacity varies by fabric and color. For the most coverage under white, choose a nude-toned option.
Does it feel hot in warm weather?
The knits are moisture-absorbing and breathable, and the workout styles are actively moisture-wicking.
For the warmest weather, the Sculpt Tank and the cotton-modal Braless Camisole are the lightest options. The Sheer Mesh V-Neck is fleece-lined and meant for the opposite season.
Wearing It
Can I work out in it?
Pick the right style and yes. The High Neck Workout Tank, Racerback Crop Tank and Racerback Workout Tank are built for it — medium support, removable padded cups, an inner elastic band to stop shifting, and seamless construction that reduces chafing.
They are made for yoga, pilates, strength training, walking and cycling. For high-impact running, wear a dedicated high-impact sports bra.
Can I sleep in it?
Plenty of people do. With no wire and no clasp there is nothing to press into you while you are lying down, and the compression is gentle enough for overnight wear.
If sleeping in it is the main plan, the Pajama Set with Built-In Bra is cut looser for exactly that.
Does it work as shapewear, or just as a top?
Both. The compression smooths without turning the garment into traditional shapewear, so it can be worn as a standalone top or layered underneath other clothing.
Will it show lines under a fitted dress?
The seamless construction is designed to reduce visible lines. Because there is no conventional bra band or clasp, there are fewer hard edges beneath fitted clothing.
What colors and styles do you make?
The range includes multiple silhouettes, from Sculpt and Ribbed Sculpt tanks to camisoles, long sleeves and workout styles. Current colors and availability are shown on the individual product pages.
Shipping & Delivery
How much is shipping?
Express shipping is free on every order, with no minimum.
How long will it take to arrive?
Orders generally leave within 1–2 business days. Transit time depends on destination and the carrier selected for your order.
Do you ship outside the United States?
Yes. International availability and the options offered for your destination are shown during checkout.
Where is my tracking number?
Your tracking information is sent after your order has been dispatched. Check your shipping confirmation email and your spam or promotions folder if you do not see it.
My tracking has not moved in days. What now?
Carrier scans can occasionally pause while a parcel is moving between facilities. If the tracking remains unchanged beyond the expected delivery window, contact support with your order number.
Why did my order arrive in two parcels?
Items can occasionally ship separately when they are fulfilled from different locations. Each parcel receives its own tracking information.
Returns & Exchanges
What is your return policy?
The 30-Day Take-It-Off Test gives you a 30-day window to decide. Items must be unworn, unused, have their tags attached and be in original packaging with proof of purchase.
How do I exchange for a different size?
You do not buy it twice and you do not wait. Email us the size you want and we ship the correct one free — and you keep the first one until the replacement arrives, so you are never left without it while a parcel is in transit.
Send the original back with the prepaid label once your new size lands. Free size exchange is part of the 30-Day Take-It-Off Test, not a separate paid service. Not sure which size to swap to? Send us your bust measurement, or check the size & fit guide first.
Is anything not returnable?
Sale items and gift cards are final sale. Everything else in the range is covered by the 30-day window. Anything worn, washed or missing its tags cannot be resold, so it falls outside the policy — try it on over clean skin before you commit.
My item arrived damaged or it is the wrong one.
Check your order as soon as it arrives and email hello@getsummet.com straight away with your order number and a photo of the issue. Defective, damaged or incorrect items get evaluated and made right — and you are not paying return postage on our mistake.
How long until my refund lands?
We notify you once your return arrives and has been inspected. Approved refunds go back to your original payment method within 10 business days. Your bank or card issuer then needs its own processing time to post it.
I am in the EU. Do I get a cooling-off period?
Yes. For merchandise shipped into the European Union you have the right to cancel or return your order within 14 days, for any reason and without giving a justification.
The same conditions apply: unworn, unused, tags on, original packaging, with proof of purchase. The 30-day promise runs alongside this, so in practice you have the longer of the two.
Orders, Payment & Contact
Can I change or cancel my order?
If it has not been packed yet, yes. Email hello@getsummet.com with your order number and what needs changing, and do it quickly — orders leave within 1–2 business days and cannot be altered once packed.
Wrong address? That is the most urgent one. Tell us immediately; after dispatch it is up to the carrier.
What payment methods do you accept?
All major credit and debit cards, plus PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay and Shop Pay. The full set of available options is shown at checkout for your region.
Is checkout secure?
Yes. Checkout runs on Shopify's PCI-compliant, encrypted payment infrastructure. Card details are handled by the payment processor and are never stored on our servers or visible to our team.
My discount code will not apply.
Usually one of three things: the code has expired, it does not stack with an active site-wide promotion, or it is restricted to specific products. Only one code can be applied per order.
If the code should be valid and is not working, email it to us with your cart contents before checking out and we will sort it.
How do I reach a human?
Use the contact page or email hello@getsummet.com. Include your order number if you have one — it cuts a round trip out of every conversation.
We reply to every message, in order, Monday through Friday.
Do you do bulk, wholesale or press?
Email hello@getsummet.com with "Wholesale" or "Press" in the subject line and details of what you have in mind, and the right person will pick it up.
Still not sure?
Ask us before you order rather than guessing. Sizing questions in particular take about a minute to settle and save you a return.
