Lace lingerie for women, from lace sets to lace bodysuits and corsets

Lace lingerie at a glance

The right lace piece depends on what you want from it: coverage and support, a smooth line under clothes, or a look made for a mirror or a camera. The table matches each style to its job so you can buy for the result first.

If you buy only one piece, the Lace Teddy or the Lace Plunge Bodysuit gives the most lace for the money and works in every size. Add the Lace Top Thigh Highs at $18 to finish a look for less than a restaurant dinner.

What is the best lace lingerie for women?

The best lace lingerie for most women is stretch lace in a shape that matches your comfort: a teddy or bodysuit for an easy one piece look, a balconette set for support, or a corset when you want waist definition. Pick lace with elastane so it moves with you, and soft scalloped edges so nothing digs in.

The Lace Teddy is the easiest start, and the Ring Light Lace Set is the best value if you want three pieces that work separately. For a firmer shape the Underbust Lace Corset has twelve spiral steel bones and a lace up back that adjusts to your waist.

How to choose between black, red and white lace

Black lace is the safest: it hides seams, looks sharp on camera and works on every skin tone. Red lace makes a stronger statement and suits a gift or an occasion. White and ivory lace reads soft and bridal, and it is the one to choose for a wedding night or honeymoon, where our wedding night lingerie page shows the white edit.

Check the colors listed on each product page, because not every piece comes in every shade. Lighter lace shows more under thin clothes, so for wearing beneath a white shirt choose a nude or bare shade rather than bright white.

How should lace lingerie fit

Lace lingerie should lie flat without cutting in. Cups sit against the breast with no gap at the top, the band stays level when you raise your arms, and leg openings leave no mark after an hour. If lace puckers at the edge, the size is too small. If it gaps, it is too large or the cup shape does not suit you.

We size XS to 3X by letter, and every piece costs the same in every size. Measure bust, waist and hips and compare them with the size guide. Between sizes, take the larger one in anything with wires or bones. For a fuller bust see lingerie for big breasts, and for a smaller frame lingerie for small bust.

How to wash and keep lace lingerie

Wash lace by hand in cool water with a small amount of detergent for delicates, or in a mesh bag on a gentle cycle with hooks closed. Never wring it out. Press the water out in a towel, then dry it flat away from heat, because dryers shrink elastic and break fine lace threads.

Store pieces folded in a drawer, not on hangers, so straps keep their length. Rotating two or three pieces extends the life of each one, since elastic needs a day to recover between wears.
