Quick Answer
For a retro-chic look that works as both lingerie and outerwear, the Maison Lejaby GABY body is a versatile choice. Choose your usual bra size for a supportive fit, and consider sizing up if you prefer a looser fit for wearing as a top.
Why the GABY Body Stands Out
The GABY body combines French lace and mesh with underwire support, giving you the structure of a bra and the sleek silhouette of a body. Its satin finishes add a soft, feminine touch, while the elastic mesh body hugs your curves without digging in.
This piece is designed to be worn both as lingerie and as a stylish top, making it a flexible addition to your wardrobe. The retro aesthetic pairs well with high-waisted skirts or tailored trousers for a chic, vintage-inspired outfit.
Understanding the Fit: Sizing and Adjustments
The GABY body is available in standard bra sizes, so you can order the same size you typically wear in a bra. The underwire and mesh construction provide support and shaping, but the fit can vary depending on your torso length and personal preference.
If you plan to wear the GABY as a bodysuit under clothing, a snug fit will create a smooth line. For wearing it as a top, you might prefer a slightly looser fit, which could mean sizing up in the band or cup.
The crotch fastening uses a hook-and-eye closure, making it practical for bathroom breaks. Ensure the body sits comfortably at the crotch without pulling; if it feels too tight, consider a larger size.
Styling the GABY: From Lingerie to Outerwear
As lingerie, the GABY works beautifully under sheer blouses or low-back dresses, thanks to its elegant lace and mesh design. The underwire provides lift, while the mesh body smooths your midsection.
For an outerwear look, pair the GABY with high-waisted jeans or a pencil skirt. The lace top adds a touch of romance, and the satin details catch the light. Layer a blazer over it for a sophisticated evening outfit.
Because the body is meant to be seen, choose accessories that complement the lace pattern, such as delicate necklaces or simple earrings.
How to Choose and Wear Your GABY Body
- Choosing your size: Order your usual bra size for a supportive fit. If you prefer a looser fit for wearing as a top, size up in the band or cup. Check the size chart and measure your underbust and bust to confirm your size.
- Wearing as lingerie: Wear it under sheer or low-back tops for a smooth, elegant look. The underwire provides lift, and the mesh smooths your midsection. Ensure the body sits flat against your skin without visible lines under tight clothing.
- Wearing as outerwear: Pair with high-waisted bottoms, such as skirts or trousers, and layer with a blazer or jacket for a chic retro outfit. Accessorize with delicate jewelry to complement the lace pattern.
- Adjusting the fit: If the body feels too tight at the crotch or pulls at the shoulders, try a larger size. The hook-and-eye closure allows easy adjustments. Move around in the body to test comfort; it should stay in place without riding up.
