INCA Nude Backless Bodysuit with a Minimiser Cup and Full Briefs
Orders placed during our seasonal break (6 Nov – 14 Dec) will ship after 15 December.
Description
INCA Nude is my full-brief backless bodysuit for fuller busts when you want support and containment without adding volume. The cup sits low at the centre front but high at the apex and sides, so you get room for a plunge without losing support and coverage at the top of the bust.
I make INCA's underwired minimiser cups from a double layer of mesh — no foam, padding or moulding — so they hold and support your natural shape without making the bust look bigger. There is no bra back band; my patented construction builds the support into the bodysuit itself so your back stays completely open.
For the brief, I gave INCA full coverage with laser-cut edges that sit flat against the body, plus a hook-and-eye gusset opening for bathroom convenience. INCA is currently available in Nude only.
Handmade, to order in my London studio.

How my INCA construction works for you — 01
With INCA, I use a non-padded, underwired minimiser cup to support a fuller bust without adding volume or flattening everything together. I cut the high-apex cup in a triangle shape so it supports the breast tissue from underneath and brings it upwards and towards the centre, while giving you more coverage at the top and sides. I also finish the inner cup edge with a fold rather than elastic, so there is no tight elastic ridge pressing into the bust. This is why I recommend INCA for fuller or uneven busts, particularly when you are heavier at the bottom or slightly emptier at the top.
How my INCA construction works for you — 02
INCA uses the same non-padded bra construction as JONI: a double layer of power mesh fabric that holds your natural breast shape rather than padding it out with foam. I keep the centre front plunge, but the cup is fuller than my deep-plunge styles, so you get more support and containment through the bust. A fine dart seam runs from the base of the cup to just below the nipple, helping shape the cup without moulding or padding. Worn in the correct size, the underwire and high-apex shape keep the bust centred and supported, giving you a plunge neckline without sacrificing the fuller coverage a generous bust often needs.
How my INCA construction works for you — 03
This is where INCA differs from JONI. I gave INCA full briefs rather than a tanga, for customers who want more coverage below while keeping the same minimiser cup and ultra-low open back. The back drops into a low U-shape that sits in line with your hip bone, and I keep the construction as smooth as possible with one short centre-back seam rather than bulky side seams.
The full-brief leg edges are laser-cut so they lie flat without a heavy elastic line around the hip. I also include a hook-and-eye gusset opening, so you get the extra coverage of a full brief without making the bodysuit less practical to wear.
Choose INCA if...
Product and fit guidance provided by Ender Legard founder, Asia Smaga
You want full-brief coverage rather than a tanga.
Choose the INCA if you simply feel better with more coverage below. I gave it full briefs with laser-cut edges, so you get the coverage of a full brief without a bulky elastic edge around the leg.
Your bust is fuller at the bottom, uneven or slightly emptier at the top.
A fixed moulded cup can gape when your bust does not fill it evenly. I use a double layer of mesh instead, so the cup works with your own breast shape. The high-apex cut gives more coverage where you need it, which is why I often use the INCA for fuller or uneven busts.
Your dress is fitted and the fabric shows what is underneath.
I recommend INCA under crepe, silk, satin and bias-cut fabrics when the bust needs proper support as well as a smooth body. The underwired cup keeps the bust contained while the power-mesh body smooths underneath the dress, instead of relying on compression to flatten everything in one direction.
Your dress is high at the top but still needs a plunge at the centre front.
The INCA is useful when you need both. I cut the cup low at the centre front for a plunge, but higher at the apex and sides so a fuller bust still has enough coverage and support. If your dress is genuinely very deep at the centre front, I would move you to the KYA instead.
Your dress leaves the whole back exposed.
There is no bra back band on INCA. I build the support into the bodysuit itself, so your bust stays supported while the back of your dress remains completely open.
You have a fuller bust and want support without padding.
I recommend the INCA when you need your bust held securely but do not want a padded or moulded cup adding volume. I use an underwired, non-padded minimiser cup with more coverage at the top and sides, so your breast tissue stays inside the cup and your natural shape is supported rather than pushed forward.
“ENDER LEGARD's bodysuits are amazing and work so well under our dresses! They're brilliant for our backless designs, and we recommend them to all our brides.”
Consider another style if...
Your dress front is lower at the front than INCA.
Here I would choose KYA Nude instead. INCA is plunge, but it is fuller at the front; KYA is cut lower and its cups are shallower, so it works better when the dress exposes more cleavage. As I explained to one customer: "The KYA is a deep plunge V-neck, the cups are not so deep as it is supposed to expose the cleavage. The INCA is more fuller at the front, it's still plunge but not as deep as the KYA." If you are not sure, send me a picture of the dress and I can check it.
Your dress is very smooth and close-fitting across the bust.
SIA may be the better option here as INCA has a fine dart seam in the cup and, although it is rarely a problem, a very smooth fabric can show it. SIA is Nude only, so you can keep the same colour while changing to a seamless cup. As I explained in one consultation: "The INCA has a very fine seam on the cup, approximately halfway to the nipple. If the dress fabric is very fluid, this seam could show through. In that case I would suggest our SIA, which has balconette-style cups with no visible seams and a thin foam — perfect for concealing the nipple line under a smooth, fluid dress."
Your dress is cut away at the sides.
I would choose the SKYE Nude instead. It has tanga briefs and is cut out at the sides, so there is less bodysuit fabric where a side opening would expose it. SKYE is also available in Black.
You want more volume in the bust.
The INCA is not the right cup for that. It has no padding pockets and I generally do not recommend adding inserts to a minimiser cup. If you want more volume or structure in the cup, MAE or my lace style, UMA may be better options (depending on your dress fabric); both styles are available in Nude.
The full brief is cutting in at your hip.
Here JONI would be the obvious choice; it uses the same cup construction as the INCA but has a higher-cut tanga, so it is the better option when the leg line itself is showing. As I advised one customer: "Since you have wider hips, I believe our JONI in the tanga style will be a better option for you. The tanga is a high leg cut, it will be invisible around your hips."

What's the difference between the INCA and the JONI?
Only the briefs. INCA has full briefs and JONI has a tanga. The cups and front depth are the same. I choose between them based on the coverage you prefer and how the brief sits under your dress.
My dress is very low at the front. Is the INCA deep enough?
If it is a standard plunge, usually yes. If the centre front is genuinely very deep, I would choose the KYA because it sits lower and the cups are shallower. If you are unsure, send me a front picture of the dress and I can check it.
My dress is smooth and fitted. Will the INCA cup seam show?
Usually it is not a problem, but the INCA cup does have a fine dart seam. If the fabric is very smooth and lies closely over the bust, that seam may show. If I think it is a real risk, I would move you to the SIA because its cup is seamless.
I'm fuller through the hips. Will the full brief create a line?
It can, depending on where the brief sits on you. If the leg line is cutting in at the hip, I would keep the same cup and move you to the JONI tanga. If the problem is at the sides of the dress, I would use the SKYE because it is cut away at the sides. Send me a picture if you are not sure which one applies.
Can I add padding if I want more volume?
Why does the INCA feel different from a normal bra when I first put it on?
Because there is no back band. The support comes from the whole bodysuit, so it has to be sitting in the correct position before the cup can work properly. Put it on through the bottom, pull the front fabric up to the underwires, scoop the breast tissue forward into the cups, then adjust the straps last so they support the cups rather than the whole garment. If the cups still feel empty after that, check the gusset is properly fastened.
Will INCA be low enough at the back for my dress?
Yes. The INCA has an ultra-low back, and when it's worn correctly the back sits below your waist, in line with your hip bone — push the back down rather than pulling it up when you put it on. See my sizing and fit video for guidance.
Can I return it if the size or fit isn't right?
Yes. INCA is returnable within 30 days of delivery. If the issue is fit rather than a change of mind, send me your measurements or a fitting photo first — I regularly work through sizing and positioning with customers before deciding whether an exchange, a different style, or a return is the right answer. See the full Returns Policy for the complete terms.
