Agree with @Lwmommy . I think that the CEO was on woman's hour a few months ago talking about the need for skin coloured clothing for women of colour. Think that it sounds brilliant.

Thanks so much

I've had a good look - they don't do a sports bra and the underwired bra doesn't come down to her size

Freya active? They do a couple of 'darker' nude sports bras www.freyalingerie.com/active.aspx#!t=8042&c=34

Nike do some nice brown bras that would look good on a lady with a darker skin tone m.nike.com/gb/en_gb/pw/womens-brown-sports-bras/7ptZahnZobo

It's not a good choice though, definitely a gap in the market...

OP try boux avenue. They do a lounge version bra which is like a multiway crop top and they have a tshirt bra as well.

I'm darker skinned Indian and find them a perfect match as a nude for me.

I wear the bronze colour and find them very comfortable btw

How much support does she want from the bra? You might be able to get one of the small businesses that do handmade underwear to make a crop top and shorts in the right shade - Mardy Bum Boutique or Crease Free Clothes for example, both have Facebook groups/pages where you can see what they make and place orders to your own specifications Smile

Ooo thanks - I'll pass them on to her
