Why Custom Made Bras Are Worth It: The Sunbird Lingerie Difference
A perfectly fitted bra should feel like a second skin. If you can’t wait to get home and take off your bra, it’s probably not the right fit. Wearing the wrong size isn’t just uncomfortable it can be harmful. Here’s why:
1. Physical Discomfort and Pain
A poorly fitting bra can cause shoulder, neck, and back pain due to uneven weight distribution. Tight bands and straps may dig into your skin, restrict movement, and even lead to headaches. Over time, this discomfort can become chronic.
2. Poor Breast Support and Shape
The wrong size fails to support your natural shape and weight. This can cause sagging, tissue migration, or spillage. Clothing may sit incorrectly, making even your best outfits look unflattering.
3. Skin Irritation and Long-Term Damage
Rubbing, chafing, red marks, and pressure sores are common with ill-fitting bras. Prolonged friction can affect breast tissue and skin health, leading to ongoing sensitivity.
Your Body Is Unique—Your Bra Should Be Too
Not everyone fits a standard size. Even small differences in measurements can cause discomfort or straps that constantly fall off. With Cindy, you get a bra designed for your body, tailored to your measurements for ultimate comfort and support. She’s so confident in her work that she offers a full refund if you’re not 100% satisfied.
Custom Made Undies: Complete Your Perfect Set
Comfort doesn’t stop at the bra. Sunbird Lingerie also offers custom made underwear, designed to match your bra for a complete, stylish, and coordinated look. You can choose from a variety of styles:
Full briefs for classic coverage
High-cut briefs for a flattering leg line
Bikini style for everyday comfort
Thongs for minimal lines under clothing
All underwear is cleverly designed to stay put and never ride up, ensuring confidence no matter what you’re wearing. A popular option is to purchase one bra and two undies in different styles, giving you versatility and comfort throughout the week.
The organic bamboo gussets are soft, breathable, and hygienic and never, boring white, but that’s the uniqueness of SBL! Combined with friendly, comfortable elastic, they feel gentle against your skin while holding their shape and support over time. Comfortable undies are essential for completing a tailored look and avoiding unsightly lines under clothing.

Well it’s been a little while and I thought it was time to introduce myself again to everyone. So I’m Cindy from Sunbird Lingerie. I’m the business owner, creative designer, seamstress and all of the other hats you wear running a small business. I’m so lucky to be working in a field I love and feel so passionate about. Sunbird Lingerie launched in 2018, however I have enjoyed the lingerie industry for over 25 years. During that time I have continued to evolve and consistently challenge myself learning new skills. Whether it’s lingerie making, bra fitting or more recently marketing, I have lots of ideas to improve.
Why I started making lingerie
It all started from a need to find comfortable cotton underwear for myself as I worked in Noosa in very hot conditions. The struggle was real so I decided to make my own bra! I thought how hard could it be right? Well six months later, lots of trials and late nights and I had completed my first bra. Turns out making a bra is an acquired skill set and one I’m very proud to have mastered.

In my spare time
When I’m not creating new bra and undie collections you can find me in the kitchen cooking up a storm or enjoying time in my Australian native garden. I love shades of pink and the smell of fresh flowers. Hydrangeas are my favourite. I’m constantly inspired by unique fabrics and beautiful colours that surround our everyday. I have a soft spot for the resident butcher birds, magpies and parrots that I’m so privileged to share my garden with. Classical music is always playing whilst sewing in my studio.
5 fun facts about me
I’m a black belt 1 dan in karate
My favourite flower is the hydrangea
I do all my brain storming in the bath
I don’t drink coffee
I can double clutch a car
My superpower
My superpower is shoe shopping! I have a true size 5 foot and have spent a lifetime refining the art of finding pretty shoes. Having a tiny foot is not always glamorous or practical. I can often be found in the children’s shoe section. I think I was destined to create custom made lingerie, I have a unique perspective for anyone who’s anything but a regular size.
My true passion
Is lingerie, I see inspiration everywhere and it’s easy to loose precious time searching for new season fabrics. My mind is constantly full of new ways to create and design. I love to hear those words “I’ve never worn a more comfortable bra” It’s what constantly motivates me and I find it so rewarding. If you hate bra shopping or you’re tired of uncomfortable underwear I’d love to hear from you. Thank you for taking the time to read my blog post.
