An intimate wardrobe sometimes requires no less attention than clothes. After all, here both the beauty of the product and its quality, practicality are of great importance. Consider in detail the advantages and disadvantages of a lace bra.
Types and Models
First, we define the circle of our interest. Lace bras come in several forms:
Sconce:
The sconce bra is the most common underwire model. It has triangular cups covering the chest almost completely, and has the effect of easy correction, slightly lifting and fixing the shape.
Balconet:
The balcony is characterized by widely spaced removable straps and low-cut underwire cups. Thus, the chest is quite barely exposed. This option is well suited for a low rounded or square neckline.
Corbey:
The bra cups of the corbey model are cut out at an angle and have the effect of “gathering” the chest to the center, so that a delicious hollow forms. This option holds its shape well and is perfect for a V-neckline.
Seedless:
Pitted lace bras can have a different shape. They hold the chest well, but do not lift it. The same goes for the triangle bra model without foam and filler. It looks good on a small size, while maintaining the naturalness of the forms.
Top bra:
The top bra looks like a short T-shirt. Very feminine and romantic model. However, like the version with wide lace sewn along the bottom of the bodice. Both styles emphasize a slim waist.
With lace on the back and with modifiable straps:
Variations on the theme of detachable shoulder straps that can be worn in various ways, crosswise or over the neck with a collar, makes the lace bra multifunctional. It happens that the straps are connected on the back, as on sports models, and are decorated with a wide openwork insert.
Push up:
And the last on our list is the famous push-up style with special fillers that can be removed if necessary or can be sewn in, as a non-removable option. This model not only fixes the shape of the breast, but also adds at least one size to it.
Color
The color variety of lace models of bras is very wide. Any shade looks luxurious on this material: extravagant black, elegant and festive white, sexy red, delicate pink, romantic pastel shades.
Beige models, merging with the skin tone, look unusually sensual, thanks to the texture of the material, as if covering the body with ornaments.
Non-standard colors, for example, blue lace bra, emerald, gray, olive, yellow, look good only if they accentuate the skin color. You can try to wear them if you are tanned on vacation, so that the tan looks even more impressive.
The options for underwear are very interesting when the color of the lower fabric and the color of the lace that is sewn on top do not match. For example, black lace on a red base, pale green on a blue one. Such bras are truly spectacular and very beautiful. In combination with satin and silk options, they can be suitable for the most special occasions.
Who is it for?
In fact, the lace fabric of bras looks great on everyone. She absolutely in all cases emphasizes the femininity of its owner. When choosing, you should rather be guided by the style of the bra, the shape of the cup and your natural size.
If you have a large chest, then choose a fairly closed model with wide straps, well-kept shape. You will not fit bras without straps, a balcony and a triangle. The rich colors of the lace fabric will look more neat on you. Please note that light beige shades to match the skin will add even more volume.
If you are the owner of a medium size, then you can afford to wear virtually all styles. Be guided only by the shape of the neckline, your taste, appropriateness and degree of convenience.
When choosing a bra for small breasts, it is worth remembering models with foam rubber, fillers and a push-up effect. And if the choice fell on a soft cup, then here you can give preference to a very light or bright color of linen. He will visually add volume.
How to choose?
First of all, pay attention to the quality of the lace material. If low quality fabric is used, the likelihood of puffs appearing soon is very high. After a couple of washes, such a bra will look worn and may lose shape. It is favorable if the openwork fabric contains a synthetic thread. This increases the wear resistance of the material.
Also pay attention to possible irritation due to the characteristic texture, if you are the owner of sensitive skin. Nevertheless, do not deprive yourself of a luxurious bra - give preference to openwork weaving from a very thin, smooth thread.
For a more accurate determination of the successful size, which may be labeled differently depending on the brand and country of origin, do not forget to contact consultants. Make sure that the clasp in the back does not go up, but remains flush with the lower line of the bodice in front. And also to ensure that the straps and seam of the base under the chest do not crash into the body.
Lace bras are the best option for a special occasion.
The overwhelming majority of wedding lingerie is created using this material. Romantic meetings are also an occasion to pay close attention to openwork models.Especially those that use translucent patterned weaves without using a denser fabric. In this case, the body shines through the lace, which looks very seductive.
What to wear?
Good taste implies that the texture of underwear should not appear under clothing. It is permissible in a certain context only if lace straps are visible that match the top in color. It can even further decorate the image, adding a touch of romance.
The main rule in clothing is not to wear a lace bra with a tight top or an overly transparent blouse.
The color of the bra should always match the color of the clothes, especially if it is at least a little transparent. The contrast option is a sign of bad taste, as in everyday life it looks too defiant.
Lace fabric is well suited for cotton models of clothing, especially in the summer. The breathable material of such shirts, dresses and tops in combination with the “ventilated” openwork texture of underwear will make you feel comfortable even on the warmest days.
Care
Lace is a whimsical fabric, so handling requires special. With improper care, the deplorable appearance of the product is provided after a couple of washes. Therefore, for bras sewn from this material, the following precautions are preferred:
- the use of a special mesh bag for machine wash or the latest development - a plastic sconce;
- delicate modes with a water temperature of not more than 30 degrees;
- detergents recommended for gentle care, for example, liquid detergent for baby clothes;
- washing separately from clothes sewn from dense materials;
- air drying, without spinning in a typewriter.
When washing lace, the use of bleaches is contraindicated.
The optimal number of bras in the wardrobe is seven for each day of the week, plus sets for a special occasion. This amount allows you to use underwear as efficiently as possible, increasing its service life. We also note that the coarse fabrics of clothing worn on top will accelerate the wear of delicate lace material.
Lacy bra is, first of all, tenderness, beauty, femininity and sensuality. He remains out of fashion and out of time. Undoubtedly, this underwear is for a real woman!
