Quick answer
For the best fit in a curvy lace bralette, measure your underbust and full bust, then use the brand's size chart. The Curvy Lace Bralette is designed for full busts with supportive features like power mesh lining and wide adjustable straps.
Why sizing matters for curvy bralettes
Unlike padded or underwired bras, bralettes rely on stretch fabric and construction for support. A curvy bralette must fit snugly around the ribcage while providing enough coverage and lift for a fuller bust. Getting the right size ensures comfort and shape without digging or gaping.
The Curvy Lace Bralette from Lace Laboratory is specifically sized for full busts. It uses stretchable lace and power mesh lining to offer support without underwire. This means accurate measurements are key to enjoying its benefits.
How to measure yourself at home
You will need a soft measuring tape and a mirror. Wear a non-padded bra for the most accurate bust measurement. Stand straight and breathe normally.
For underbust: measure directly under your bust, keeping the tape snug but not tight. Round to the nearest whole number. For full bust: measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape parallel to the floor. This gives you the band and cup reference needed for the size chart.
Understanding the Curvy Lace Bralette design
This bralette features a plunge front, non-padded cups, and an elastic band for support. The power mesh lining adds extra bust support, while the wide adjustable straps let you customize the fit. The stretchable lace conforms to your shape over time, so the initial fit should be snug but not restrictive.
Because it is non-padded, the bralette will not add volume. It is meant to provide a natural shape with light lift. If you prefer more coverage or shaping, consider sizing up or trying a different style.
Decision rules for choosing your size
- Measure your underbust first: Use a soft tape measure directly under your bust. Keep it snug but not tight. Round to the nearest inch. This determines your band size. Write down your underbust measurement before checking the size chart.
- Measure your full bust: Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape parallel to the floor. Do not pull too tight. This helps confirm cup fit. Compare your bust measurement to the size chart to see which size covers your range.
- Check the size chart for your band and cup: Lace Laboratory's size chart lists underbust and bust ranges for each size. Choose the size where your underbust falls within the band range and your bust falls within the cup range. If you are between sizes, size up for comfort. If your underbust and bust measurements point to different sizes, prioritize the band fit.
- Adjust the straps and band: Once you try the bralette, adjust the wide straps so the band sits level around your ribcage. The band should feel snug but allow two fingers to slide under. The lace should lie flat without gaping or digging. A properly adjusted bralette should not ride up or leave red marks after a few hours.
