About Us

Hi, I'm Debz.

My story starts with my kids.

I have autistic children, and getting dressed was a daily battle - scratchy seams, tight waistbands, labels that felt unbearable. I couldn't find clothes that worked for them, so I taught myself to sew and made them myself. Soft, gentle, sensory-friendly.

It started at home in my bedroom in 2015, after a mental health breakdown. Sewing was my way to have escapism, and I loved sewing for my children.

One of those children was Brandon. Brandon has Myotonic Dystrophy, which is a muscular condition affecting all muscles in his body and causing sleep apnea too.

His need for softness, for comfort and clothes that didn't hurt, was my priority, and Brandon lived in Wilde Mode t-shirts, boxers and pyjamas because he found comfort in them.

Then I realised I needed the same thing.

I'm disabled and have fibromyalgia and spinal issues. I needed a bra that didn't hurt me... because bras usually cause me pain, I searched everywhere, found nothing, and did what I'd learned to do - I made my own. That first bra changed everything.

I started making them for friends, then strangers, then anyone who the high street had failed. People with chronic pain, sensory sensitivities, neurodivergent bodies, full busts the fashion industry had never bothered to fit. We size from a 24" back to a 60" back, A/B to N/O cup - because you are not an afterthought here. You are what matters.

Everything is handmade in the UK from organic cotton and recycled fabrics, made to order, just for you.

So fast forward to 2026, and I now have a lovely team in Leeds who handmake all our underwear and bras so you, too, can have comfort and freedom.

Sadly, my son passed away on the 17th May, 2026, due to his Myotonic Dystrophy. And in his everlasting sleep, he was cremated in pyjamas made from Tim Burton characters I had been saving for a special occasion, because I want Brandon to be comfortable and loved forever.

Not a day goes by that I don't think of him.

He won't be forgotten. Every stitch is for him.
