Lace Bodysuit with Underwire and Heart Buckles

Two hearts, stacked.

Styling Notes

• Date at home - Hold-ups on, jewellery off: the hearts on the front are already doing that work.
• Under a slip dress - A column slip covers the lace and leaves the neckline as the only hint.
• With a blazer - A sharp black jacket over the straps turns it into evening without another layer of lace.
• Keep the hardware - Store it so the heart buckles do not press into the lace overnight.

At a Glance

• Heart buckles - two silver hearts stacked on the centre front - the hardware is the whole argument of the piece
• Centre cut-out - a teardrop opening down the torso - shows a matching V-shaped lace panel through the gap
• Garter straps - four pink straps hanging from the hem - ready for hold-ups if you want them

Why It Belongs

There is a gap between a plain lace teddy and one that has jewellery built into the front. This lace bodysuit with underwire sits in that gap: the hearts are not a charm thrown on later, they hold the cut-out in a straight line.

Fit, Cut and Fabric

The bodysuit is cut as one piece, close through the torso, with a teardrop opening at centre front. Cups are semi-sheer lace with a visible underwire channel. Thin straps rise over the cup tops. The hem carries a ruffled lace line and four hanging straps.

The lace is floral and polyester. A matching V-shaped panel shows through the central opening.

Final Note

If the stacked hearts are what you came here for, you can stop scrolling.
