Okay, so I finally caved and bought this Smart & Sexy lace bra after seeing it all over Instagram. The hype is real... mostly.
The lace is GORGEOUS—way prettier in person than online. It's soft, not scratchy at all, and makes me feel fancy even when I'm just wearing it under a t-shirt. The fit is surprisingly good for an unlined bra (I got my usual 34C) and the adjustable straps actually stay put!
BUT... that underwire? Girl. After about 6 hours it starts feeling like medieval torture device digging into my ribs. And the lace? Super delicate—washed it normally once and now there's a tiny tear near the strap. Definitely need a lingerie bag!
Still keeping it though because hello? $25 for something this cute? Worth dealing with some discomfort for date nights when I want to feel sexy without looking like I'm trying too hard.
