S - B.tempt'd By Wacoal » Lace Kiss Bralette (910182) is an unadjustable wireless bralette made of somewhat itchy, floral-patterned, stretch lace. It is unpadded and wireless. The elastic seam/band which connects the bottom of the cups to the rest of the band offers some support as do the cups themselves.
The cups are see-through and do manage to shape breasts nicely. Although I've noticed my chest sometimes looks "rectangular." Not "uniboob," but just sort of boxy. It's hard to explain and it's very subtle.
The band is made of the same stretch lace as the rest of the bralette with an elastic strap effectively going the length ... of the perimeter. It seems to me that in the front of the bralette, the band has semi NON-STRETCH stitching on the elastic while the back stretches as one might expect. The band, at least in the small and medium, has no closures and is not adjustable.
The straps are elastic too and have two parts -- meaning they are not fully adjustable. The front part of the strap is elastic with delicate scallop detailing. The back part is plain, flat/smooth, similarly-colored, elastic with metal adjusters. The straps are fairly thin and -- with no underwire and no adjustable band -- are seemingly doing all of the support work, causing them to dig in a little. If one were to use the bralette as a sleep bra, though, they wouldn't notice this.
The instructions say to hand wash it, but I've machine washed and dried it with no problem.
Even with all of its "flaws," as far as bralettes go, I think this is one of the best -- especially if you're looking for one that "does it all." It has received several editor's awards. I'm a 30E/30DDD, tall and wide roots, average projection, fairly even, and it fits me in the small and medium. The small gets more traction because it's tighter and consequently feels like it offers more support. I mostly use it as a sleep bra and for those times when I'm hanging out around the house or running light errands. I wear a lot of cotton t-shirts and under them, the bralette looks like a normal t-shirt bra for the most part which is a huge plus. I haven't tried wearing it with anything else. Now, it can be a little itchy at first but it softens over time to become very comfortable and light. One could wash it in a fabric softener if they didn't want to wait. Overall, I think this is a wonderful product that would be great for summer and/or lounging around, and certainly one to try if you're in the market for a good bralette.
