How do I choose lace lingerie?
Lace is not one fabric. Stretch lace, rigid lace and lace trim all fit and feel differently.
Measure first, then choose the shape. Between sizes, take the larger.
Match the piece to the outfit, the light and how long you will wear it.
Plain packaging, tracked delivery and 14-day returns with the seal intact.
Lace Index has lace in bras, bodysuits, slips and roleplay pieces. The important differences are stretch, edge finish and where the lace sits against the skin. A soft stretch lace is easier for everyday wear; a rigid lace holds a shape but has less give.
01
The short answer
Look at the underband, the leg opening and the strap. A scalloped edge sits flat; a straight-cut edge can roll. If lace feels scratchy at the underband, the size or the trim is wrong.
02
Fit and feel
Check the product page for the fabric and size list. If you are between sizes, take the larger. Wash cool, use a mesh bag, and keep lace away from hooks and zips.
03
Before you order
Try the piece for a short time before a full day. If it itches or digs in, do not force it. Returns are accepted within 14 days when unworn and the hygiene seal is intact.

Questions
Quick answers.
How do I choose lace lingerie?
Is lace comfortable?+
Soft stretch lace can be; rigid lace and rough trims are more likely to irritate. Check the trim and the fit.
How do I wash lace lingerie?+
Hand wash cool with a mild detergent, or use a mesh bag on a delicate cycle. Do not tumble dry.
What is the difference between stretch and rigid lace?+
Stretch lace gives with the body; rigid lace holds a shape but has less give.
Can I wear lace every day?+
Yes, if the piece fits and the trim is soft. A lined cup or a smooth underband helps.
