Another option is the indestructible (or at least more-resilient) bra, for the purpose of preventing wardrobe malfunctions (for optimal functionality, combine with indestructible panties or similar). Whatever material/enchantment/whatever is used on it is typically going to be a lot less heavy/expensive/etc if it covers only what, say, a bikini top and bottom would, as opposed to trying to cover the entire Torso. Depending on how skimpy you need to make the coverage, this may well be an inner layer of some more traditional undergarments. Optionally, this can mean some attacks will have to deal with markedly more DR than normal, although the poor coverage means this isn't something to rely on.

Men can, of course, use the same methodology to have indestructible underwear of some sort.

A corset with a bra built in lends it's self to being enchanted to give more DR & protection to the wearer.

I have to mention that when I saw bra of holding my thoughts were of women who keep all sorts of items there & increasing their cargo capacity.

Also worth noting that a bra is a weapon (MA224) therefore we are not limited to armor enchantments but can use weapon enchantments too, so Loyal Sword / Quick-Draw / Dancing Weapon / Defending Weapon / Weapon Spirit / Ghost Weapon are all obvious musts.

I've been working with Sorcery lately for a lot of enchanted items, and this thread inspired this one. Would be cast as a buff or enchanted into an accessory or tattoo.

Invisible Bra
Accessory: Invisible Bra (magical) [1]
DR 1 (Tough Skin, Bra area only, magical) [1]

Provides all the protection and support of a tough bra without being there. Prevents any chafing, sagging or pinching, popular with barbarians in chainmail bikinis.

Impromptu catapult. Enchanted to enable launching of two items simultaneously with no penalty.

A bra is the last thing the wearer of a chainmail bikini needs!

Wow, that’s not true! Chainmail bikini has no support whatsoever, and so you really need a bra unless you’re “lightly endowed”. And since mail is heavy, you REALLY want external support.

I've also heard that lining for the chainmail bikini is crucial.

That depends on how well-made the maille is, but in general, yes.

Hi all, sorry for the long time in responding to all these posts, but for some reason right now I find getting the focus (or something) to post a bit difficult.

Magic says 35 cubic feet per pound of weight, so plenty of room.

Unfortunately, the mage working on this was killed by the Duke after it was discovered he enchanted a cursed codpiece.
Cool, not what I was after when I asked for other options, but still cool

Could work, but my thinking was that you couldn't show off your own cleavage, or wear garments that relay on you having boobs. Also raises the cost of the item.

Lighten Burden as an Enchantment may be cast upon a backpack, and it's not unreasonable to assume that it could be cast upon other containers, like a bra

Problem for women like your wife is that if it's an actual bra she only gains the benefit while wearing said bra.

I mentioned this, or at least a magical version of it, as an option, but stated that it probably wouldn't be comfortable because of inflexibility.

Sorcery isn't real good when you want to know what something would cost to make.
