I have ordered many Tommy Cropped Sports bras from Girlfriend Collective over the years. I recently read other reviews that mentioned a horrible smell but I thought little of it since I have had such success with this brand in the past.

The fit is similar to past orders (a little tight at first but stretches out a bit to be more comfortable after a few wears) but the smell this round was HORRENDOUS. Horrible strong chemical smell that took 5-6 rounds of hand washing and washing machine washes and letting sit in direct sunlight for several days to make the smell minimal enough to wear. I cannot make clear how horrible the smell was. I should not have to put in that much effort to make a bra smell neutral enough to wear. And I can't imagine what having whatever chemical was permeating the material directly on my skin would do.

Girlfriend Collective, PLEASE change your processing to eliminate whatever caused this to occur.
