There is no getting away from wearing lingerie or inner wear like bras for most women.

Wearing a bra, though, can be a struggle especially for women in wheelchairs or those with upper limb mobility issues. Hooking and unhooking them can be a pain especially those with small clasps and hooks. Chemises with built in bras are an alternative option and that’s what we are featuring this week.

Here’s a range of chemises in cotton, all under ₹ 800.

A set of three camisole of pink, black and purple colour and a set of two camisole of colours light green and beige.

MIRRA Women’s Camisole Cup Slip

This five-piece pack each in a different colour is a steal! You can team them with your outer wear perfectly. There is no padding or cup inside and the shape is given by the gathering of the fabric.

The chemises come in pink, purple, black, beige and light green. The straps are slim and the neck is a V-cut.

Kolkata-based designer Soumita Basu who designs adaptive wear under the label Zyenika prefers chemises that are stretchable. She stopped wearing bras when she started losing upper and lower limb mobility a few years ago.

I find it difficult to hook a bra at the back, especially those with smaller hooks. My shoulders also start hurting with most bras. That’s why the clothes I design for myself have an inner lining. When I need inner wear, I wear a chemise.

Soumita is wearing a printed yellow dress and is seated on a wheelchair.
