Quick Answer

A gap at the bust on your Dangerous Curves bodysuit usually means the lace panel is too loose for your chest, often because the bodysuit runs small overall or your bust measurement is smaller than the hip/waist fit point.

Why Lace Bodysuits Gap More Than Solid Fabrics

The Dangerous Curves bodysuit uses a figure-hugging lace that has less stretch than a cotton-spandex blend. Lace holds its shape, so if the bodysuit fits your hips and waist but the bust panel doesn't lie flat, the lace simply won't conform to a smaller chest. This isn't a defect—it's a design trade-off for that sheer, structured silhouette.

The Plunge Neckline Factor

This bodysuit has a deep plunge neckline. Plunge styles naturally expose more skin and rely on the side seams and underbust band to hold the fabric in place. If the band is too loose or the side seams sit wide, the center of the plunge can lift away from your chest, creating a visible gap.

Diagnose the Bust Gap

  • Symptom: The lace at the bust does not lie flat against your skin, especially at the center of the plunge. You may see a visible gap between the fabric and your chest when standing straight.
  • Likely Cause: The bodysuit is too large in the bust relative to your frame. Because the garment runs small overall, you may have sized up for length or hip fit, which makes the bust panel too roomy. Alternatively, your bust measurement is simply smaller than the design expects for your weight/height combination. Check that you are not wearing a size meant for a taller or heavier body just to get more length.
  • Corrective Action: First, adjust the straps if they are adjustable—shortening them can lift the bust panel. If the gap remains, try the next size down. The Dangerous Curves runs small, so a smaller size may still fit your hips and waist while eliminating the bust gap. If you are between sizes, choose the smaller one for a snugger lace fit. A smaller size often solves the gap without sacrificing the silhouette.
  • When to Stop or Choose Another Option: If sizing down makes the bodysuit too tight in the hips or too short in the torso, this particular style is not the right cut for your proportions. Consider a bodysuit with a fuller-coverage bust panel or a stretchier fabric blend instead of a structured lace plunge. Not every plunge lace bodysuit works for every body shape—that's normal.

Product Details

  • Dangerous Curves: Garment runs small; weight range 90-175 lbs; height 5' to 5'10". Because the bodysuit runs small, sizing up for a taller or curvier frame can make the bust panel too loose if your chest is on the smaller side of the range.
