FAQs

What materials is the Sexy Lace Basque made from?

The basque is made from lace that uses 50% recycled fibers and mesh that contains a minimum of 70% recycled yarns, contributing to a more sustainable product.

Are the pads in the cups removable?

Yes, the basque features mini removable pads, allowing you to customize the level of push-up and shape.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the Ann Summers size guide for accurate measurements. The basque is designed for an improved fit across various shapes and sizes, but personal measurement is key. This specific product is a UK size 16.

Can I wear this basque for daily use?

While comfortable enough for daily wear, its delicate lace and specific styling make it ideal for occasions when you want to feel extra special. The design prioritizes both comfort and aesthetic appeal.

How should I wash the Sexy Lace Basque?

It is highly recommended to hand wash the basque in cool water with a mild detergent. Avoid machine washing, tumble drying, and harsh chemicals to preserve the delicate lace and fabric.

Does it provide good support?

Yes, the basque features underwired cups and padded plunge design, offering excellent lift and support for an uplifted, rounder shape.

Can I wear it without stockings?

Absolutely! While it features suspender straps for attaching stockings, the basque looks elegant and complete on its own or paired with briefs, making it a versatile addition to your lingerie.

Troubleshooting

Basque feels uncomfortable or digs in.

Adjust the shoulder straps and the hook and eye back closure. Ensure the basque is not too tight. A proper fit should feel supportive but not restrictive.

Cups don't provide desired uplift.

Check if the removable mini pads are inserted correctly. Re-adjust shoulder straps for more lift. Ensure the underwire sits flat against your ribcage without gapping.

Lace or mesh appears damaged after washing.

Always hand wash the basque in cool water with mild detergent. Avoid machine washing, harsh chemicals, and tumble drying. Handle gently to prevent snags.

Suspender straps are loose or don't hold stockings.

Ensure the suspender clips are securely fastened to the stocking band. If the straps themselves feel loose, they might need adjustment if they have sliders, or it could indicate wear over time. If they are permanently fixed, ensure you are using stockings with a suitable band thickness.

Basque rides up or shifts during wear.

This often indicates an incorrect band size. Ensure the hook and eye closure is comfortably snug. If it's too loose, the basque can move. Also, verify that the shoulder straps are providing adequate support without being too tight, which can pull the garment upwards.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Improved fit across various shapes and sizes (due to thoughtful design adjustments)
  • Eco-friendly materials (recycled lace and mesh fibers)
  • Uplifting and supportive design for a flattering silhouette
  • Versatile styling options (can be worn with or without stockings)
  • Comfortable enough for extended wear, yet sophisticated for special occasions
  • Adjustable features for a personalized fit

Cons

  • Delicate lace material may require careful handling and washing
  • Plunge neckline and basque style may not suit all body types or personal preferences
  • Specific sizing (Size 16) means it's not a one-size-fits-all garment
  • Info needed: Specific care instructions may be more demanding than standard underwear

Setup, Compatibility & Care

How to Wear

  1. Adjust the Straps: Begin by adjusting the shoulder straps to ensure the cups sit comfortably and securely on your bust. The goal is lift and support without digging in.
  2. Fasten the Back Closure: Wrap the basque around your torso and fasten the hook and eye closure at the back. Start with a looser setting and tighten as needed for a snug, yet comfortable, fit.
  3. Position the Basque: Ensure the basque sits smoothly over your waist and hips. The integrated suspender straps should hang freely.
  4. Attach Stockings (Optional): If desired, carefully attach your stockings to the suspender straps. Ensure an even tension to prevent sagging or discomfort.

Compatibility

This Sexy Lace Basque is designed to pair perfectly with your choice of Sexy Lace Briefs from the Ann Summers collection for a coordinated look. It's also ideal for wearing with stockings attached to its suspender straps, completing a classic lingerie ensemble. Its black color and intricate design make it a versatile piece for various occasions.

Product Care

To maintain the delicate lace and fabric integrity of your basque, follow these care instructions:

  • Hand Wash Recommended: Gently hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent.
  • Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not bleach or use strong stain removers.
  • Do Not Tumble Dry: Air dry by laying flat or hanging. Avoid direct sunlight or heat.
  • Low Heat Ironing (If Necessary): If absolutely needed, iron on the lowest heat setting, using a protective cloth over the lace.
  • Handle with Care: The lace and mesh are delicate; avoid snagging on jewelry or rough surfaces.
