The fibers are ultrathin and barely visible, while gussets are made of soft and elastic cotton. Bra cups are lined with wearproof cotton. As for the design part, Wolford favour time-honoured styles only.

Corporate history highlights. Wolford have their origins in Austria with the headquarters in Bregenz. The company was founded there by Reinhold Wolff and Walter Palmers in 1949. Before they met in Oxford in the late 1940s and then joined their forces to launch Wolford, Wolff was known for his expertise in hosiery, while Palmers was actively involved in lingerie manufacturing.
