Learn how the Daphnis Bralette should fit, get sizing tips for lace bralettes, and understand its support level. Practical advice for a comfortable, unique fit.
Quick answer
The Daphnis Bralette fits true to size for most, but its soft, stretch lace and adjustable straps mean you can fine-tune the fit. It offers light support, ideal for A–C cups or as a lounge piece.
Why sizing can vary with deadstock lace
The Daphnis Bralette is made from deadstock, remnants, and vintage stretch laces, so each piece is 100% unique. This means the lace’s stretch and opacity may vary slightly between units. If you are between sizes, consider sizing up for a more relaxed fit, especially if you prefer less compression.
Support level and who it suits best
As a bralette, the Daphnis does not have underwire or molded cups. It provides light, natural support—perfect for smaller busts (A–C cup) or for lounging, sleeping, or layering under loose tops. If you need more structure or lift, this style may not be your best everyday choice.
Frequently asked questions about the Daphnis Bralette fit
- How should a bralette fit?
- A bralette should feel snug but not tight. The band should sit parallel to the floor and stay in place when you raise your arms. The straps should not dig in or slip off. If the lace stretches out over the day, you may need to go down a size.
- What cup size is the Daphnis Bralette best for?
- It works well for A–C cups. If you are a D cup or larger, the soft lace may not provide enough support or coverage. Consider it for lounging or layering rather than all-day wear.
- How do I care for the Daphnis Bralette?
- Hand wash in cold water with a gentle lingerie wash. Lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight. Avoid wringing or machine drying, as the vintage lace and daisy trim are delicate. Always check the care tag on your unique piece, as deadstock laces may have slightly different care needs.
- Can I return or exchange if the fit is not right?
- Yes, Hopeless Lingerie accepts returns and exchanges on unworn items with tags attached. Because each Daphnis is unique, check the size chart and your measurements before ordering.
