What Makes the Belle Époque Full Bust Bralette Different
Most bralettes use stretchy knit bands that can't support a fuller bust. The Belle Époque Full Bust Bralette from Fleur't addresses this with full cup sizing (SF through XLF), modernized lace, and an underbust elastic reinforcement designed for larger busts. It's a cup-sized bralette that gives you the look of delicate lace with the structure of a supportive bra.
Belle Époque Full Bust Bralette at a Glance
- Belle Époque Full Bust Bralette: Full cup sizes in SF, MF, LF, XLF Standard bralettes often use S/M/L sizing that doesn't account for cup volume. Full cup sizes let you choose a fit that matches your band and bust.
Belle Époque Full Bust Bralette - Belle Époque Full Bust Bralette: Under bust reinforced with elastic – ideal for larger busts The reinforced underbust provides the lift and separation that fuller busts need, reducing strain on the shoulders.
- Belle Époque Full Bust Bralette: Fabric: 94% TENCEL™ Modal - Micro fibers, 6% Spandex; Lace: 85% Nylon, 15% Spandex TENCEL™ Modal is soft, breathable, and moisture-wicking, while the spandex gives the bralette shape retention and flexibility.
- Belle Époque Full Bust Bralette: T-back design The T-back keeps straps from slipping and creates a sleek silhouette under racerback tops or when the lace peeks out.
How to Choose the Right Size
The Belle Époque Full Bust Bralette is available in four full cup sizes: SF, MF, LF, and XLF. These are not traditional band/cup combinations but rather scaled sizes that correspond to fuller bust measurements. If you normally wear a D cup or larger in wired bras, start with MF. If you need more room, move up to LF or XLF. The generous front bust lace coverage means you can wear it confidently without spillage, even in larger sizes.
Styling Tips for the T-Back Design
The T-back is both functional and fashionable. It stays put under racerback tank tops, workout wear, or backless tops that show the straps. Don't be shy about letting the lace peek out – the modernized lace is designed to be seen. Pair it with a low-back dress or a sheer blouse for a touch of mischief, as the brand suggests.
How to Care for Your Belle Époque Bralette
- Handwash or machine wash gently: Handwash in cold water, or machine wash closed in a mesh bag on a gentle cycle. This protects the lace and elastic from snagging and stretching.
- Hang to dry: Never put this bralette in the dryer. Hang it or lay it flat to preserve the TENCEL™ Modal fibers and the underbust elastic reinforcement.
- Avoid fabric softeners: Fabric softeners can break down spandex and reduce the bralette's shape retention over time. Stick to a mild detergent.
What the Supplied Information Doesn't Settle
The catalog does not specify exact cup volume equivalents for SF, MF, LF, and XLF, nor does it provide a detailed size chart. If you are between sizes or unsure, consider comparing the bralette to a wired bra that fits well – the Belle Époque Full Bust Bralette is designed for fuller busts, so it should offer similar coverage and lift. The absence of this information is a limitation when making a first purchase, but the full cup sizing and generous front coverage reduce the guesswork.
