Contoured Open-Bust Support with Broad Side Coverage
This sleeveless post-surgery support bra vest combines a contoured open-bust front with broad coverage across the upper chest, sides and back. A small upper hook and a separate multi-position underbust hook panel let the two front zones close independently, while the cup-free opening leaves room for your own bra.
Best for: provider-approved recovery-stage wear that calls for upper-torso support, an open-bust design and close side coverage without long sleeves or abdominal coverage.
Coverage & Construction
- Bust: contoured open center designed for use with a separate bra; cups are not included.
- Front: one small upper hook plus a wider multi-position hook panel below the bust.
- Shoulders and sides: broad sleeveless panels create continuous coverage from the upper chest around the side-bust area.
- Back: full upper-back panel with the vertical support-channel details shown in the gallery.
- Hem: close underbust band intended to lie flat when the garment is correctly sized and evenly fastened.
Fit & Size Guide
Measure around the fullest part of your upper bust and directly under the bust while keeping the tape level and comfortably close. Compare both current measurements with the chart. The source also provides height-and-weight suggestions, but those are secondary checks and should not replace body measurements.
| Size | Upper Bust | Underbust |
|---|---|---|
| S | 81–87 cm / 31.9–34.3 in | 70–75 cm / 27.6–29.5 in |
| M | 87–93 cm / 34.3–36.6 in | 75–80 cm / 29.5–31.5 in |
| L | 93–99 cm / 36.6–39.0 in | 80–85 cm / 31.5–33.5 in |
| XL | 99–105 cm / 39.0–41.3 in | 85–90 cm / 33.5–35.4 in |
| 2XL | 105–111 cm / 41.3–43.7 in | 90–95 cm / 35.4–37.4 in |
Source-label note: the supplied chart uses “XXL”; Qinelle displays the same size as “2XL” to match the live variation label. If your two measurements point to different sizes, swelling is expected or you are between sizes, contact Qinelle support and follow your care provider’s fit guidance.
How to Put It On
- Open both front hook sections before dressing.
- Place each arm through the shoulder openings and smooth the back and side panels flat.
- Fasten the lower hook panel evenly on a row that feels supportive without painful pressure.
- Close the upper hook, then check the bust edge, armholes, side panels and hem for pinching, folding or restricted breathing.
Recovery Use & Honest Boundaries
This support bra vest is intended for recovery-stage wear when approved by your healthcare provider. It does not replace medical care. The appropriate start time, fit and daily wear duration depend on your procedure, incision location and individual recovery plan.
Choose another style if: your plan requires built-in cups, adjustable shoulder straps, long sleeves, abdominal coverage or a closure positioned away from the front of the upper torso. Qinelle 8690 uses a wider horizontal open-bust shape; compare the product images and follow your provider’s coverage guidance before choosing between the two styles.
Care Instructions
- Fasten both hook sections before washing.
- Hand wash in cold water with mild detergent, or use a gentle cycle inside a laundry bag.
- Air dry away from direct heat.
- Do not bleach, iron or tumble dry.
