Guide to Buying the Best Lace Bra
There are a few things to bear in mind when you’re looking for the best lacy bras for yourself. Here are our top bra shopping tips:
Fit
The band of your lace bra should be snug to keep everything well-supported – ideally you should be able to fit two fingers between the band and your skin. But don’t mistake the proper fit for being too tight.
For the best fit look for adjustable shoulder straps, and as a rule of thumb wider is better for bigger boobs! For everyday wear look for good lacy coverage with the cups, so that you aren’t constantly adjusting yourself all day.
Comfort
The only way to know for sure if its the best lace bra for you is to try it!
Don’t remove labels until you try it on, and make sure you pay attention to how you feel. Move around, bend and stretch – even jump about in it (personally I try bending and lifting in mine to see if I pop out or get double boob!)
Make sure you feel supported and secure, and have no uncomfortable areas where fabric or wires could rub. This is especially important if you’re trying a new type of lace bra or cup shape.
Type
You can pretty much get a lace bra for any occasion nowadays! The best lace bra will be the one that works best under your outfit – so bear that in mind when buying! Do you want the lace to show or is it hidden for later.
Whether you’re looking for a strapless lace bra or push-up lacy bra, a sexy see-through version, bridalwear, maternity wear or just a fun and colourful everyday lace bra we have you covered (literally) with our lace bra reviews below:

This is a pretty and comfortable bra from a well known brand – you know with Playtex that you’re getting quality!
Available in a selection of pretty pink and purple hues this feminine bra will make you feel great, and is comfortable enough to wear all day with the soft and stretchy cotton/man made material mix.
This bra is just so nice to look at, with details like scalloped edging on the cups, shaped straps and a satin bow. It’s supportive with the trademark Playtex ‘cross your heart’ structure, and gives a beautiful outline under clothing.
There’s a wide range of sizes, and they’re accurate so you’re safe to order your regular bra size. The general consensus from users is that once they’ve tried Playtex there’s no going back – they’re a little more expensive than some other brands but certainly worth the investment – this is a bra that you can wear in comfort for years to come.
Best Lace Bra for everyday wear, colour lovers, great support.
Pros
- Pretty and comfortable wireless bra.
- Amazing value from a renowned brand..
- Durable and washes well.
Cons
- Runs small.
- Limited colours.
- Seams mean it can show under clothing.
This is a great staple from Playtex, wireless and comfortable to wear with secure, fuller cup coverage. It’s a feminine, elegant bra for everyday wear, and has adjustable shoulder straps for that extra comfort and support.
A black lace bra is an underwear essential, and this one is a mix of pretty, sexy and supportive. It also comes in a white version, and matching briefs are available.
Wearers report the bra is comfortable to wear and looks great, however the seam placement may mean it shows under thinner clothing. Sizing comes up small (unusually for Playtex as this brand is usually bang on) so do bear this in mind when ordering.
Best Lace Bra for Comfort, quality and value (because this bra comes with a white lace bra as well!), everyday wear.
Pros
- Lovely colours.
- Not your usual maternity bra.
- Non wired and comfortable to wear.
- Adjustable straps for a secure fit.
Cons
- Nor a great option for larger breasts.
- Back fastening can be fiddly (If i find a front fastening lace bra i will add to the reviews!)
- Comes up small in size.
This gorgeous lace nursing bra doesn’t look like a maternity bra at all! It also comes in a wide range of colours, and looks a little bit special in the feminine, lacy design.
The adjustable straps give this lace maternity bra a secure fit, while the cups drop down for easy feeding access. This lace nursing bra is non-wired, with a deep, comfortable lace underband, and a back fastener.
Wearers comment on how pretty this lace bra is, and how good and ‘un-mumsy’ they feel wearing it! The slightly padded cups help prevent any leaking through and provide a gentle shape.
This lacy nursing bra is great for smaller-busted ladies, but perhaps not such a good choice for bigger busts as the cups don’t have the same coverage as some other maternity bra options.
Wearers have also commented that the band can ride up as your bump grows, particularly if you’re carrying high. It runs a little small in size, so take this into consideration when you order.
Best Lace Bra for pregnancy and breastfeeding times, smaller busts, special occasions as a mum!.
Pros
- Great selection of sizes.
- Durable and well made.
- Super secure support! for bigger boobs
- Many other colour options too!
Cons
- Not as pretty or sexy as some options.
- Back strap measurement a little large.
This is a proper over the shoulder boulder holder, offering great support, an adjustable fit, and good coverage.
This plus sized lace bra comfortable in a polyamide/elastane fit with attractive, sheer top-half cups, and if white isn’t your bag this bra is available in a range of great colours. This bra is fantastic value too, offering the comfort, performance and support of a more expensive bra at a fraction of the price!
This model has a wide, comfortable back band with hook and eye closure, and comes in a range of sizes up to plus-size, making it a versatile choice for all shapes and figures. The one complaint about the sizing was that the back band comes up a little large, so bear this in mind – some wearers found goind down a band size and up a cup size worked a treat for them.
The bra is non-padded and underwired, but be aware that the seams may make it slightly more visible under clothing. Wearers recommend it for the comfort, affordability and comprehensive size range.
The support is great if you get the sizing right, and although it’s not as pretty or sexy as some options out there it’s still an attractive bra that does its job admirably!
Best Lace Bra for extra support, bigger busts, difficult sizes.
Pros
- Beautiful underwired lace bra!
- Pretty, neutral colour options.
- Comfortable and seamless.
Cons
- Limited options for colour lovers.
- Thin straps - even in the larger lace bra sizes so feminine
Honestly, this is such a pretty lace bra, and guaranteed to make you feel good!
It’s feminine and sexy, with delicate see-through seamless cups, thin straps and a choice of staple colours. Some may find the colour options limited but even though they’re neutral they don’t detract from how attractive this bra is!
The French lace openwork is simply stunning and the formed cups lift and shape your breasts comfortably. A satin bow and delicate, scalloped edging finish off the look.
Seamless and non-padded cups give a smooth outline under clothing, and the lace bra washes well – with the Prima Donna brand you know you’re getting great quality. It’s a bit more expensive than other makes, but in our opinion worth it as this bra will last you for YEARS.
Sizing, as with another Prima Donna lace bras, is accurate, although there have been comments that the back band does come up a little small. Bigger busted ladies have also commented that the straps are a little on the thin side, so a more structured version like the Prima Donna Deauville might be a better option here.
Best Lace Bra for small to larger busts, the creme de la creme of bras – buying to last!
FAQ about Best Lace Bras
ARE LACE BRAS ITCHY?
As long as you’re not buying a cheap and nasty one then they won’t be! Some people do find the feel of lace less comfortable than smoother fabrics (like those in t shirt bras), but in general modern lace bras are just as comfortable as any others!
ARE LACE BRAS DURABLE?
Again this depends a lot on the brand you buy – spending a little more on a lace bra brand like Playtex or Prima Donna means you’re getting a lacy bra that you can wash, wear and wash again for years to come.
HOW DO I WASH A LACE BRA?
Some models are hand-wash only – this will be specified on the label. However the majority of lace bras can be washed in the machine, although we’d recommend using a delicate wash and popping them in a special laundry bag – we love this three-pack of Delicate Bra Washing Bags from Kimmamma.
HOW DO I LOOK AFTER MY LACE BRA?
Keep a look out for any loose threads and trim them – this can be the first sign of lace beginning to unravel.
Like any other bra also keep an eye out for the seams containing the underwire fraying. Not only can these cause discomfort if the bare wire wears through the fabric, it can also mean a bill to fix your washing machine if the underwire comes out mid-wash (another reason to use those special laundry bags!)
