If you’ve been around here long enough you know that I’ve mentioned I don’t exactly have large boobs. I’m a small slender person with equally small boobs. Always have been.
There are advantages of course to being smaller on top. I’ve never had to worry about shirts fitting or looking risqué. I can go braless, no problem. Working out even in a flimsy sports bra is fine. So while I’d love to have a little more up there, I do see the positive side.
Because I’ve always been small on top, I never really thought about lace bras with no wire and no shape in the cup at all as an option. I love the look of a lacy black bra under a sheer black or white blouse or t-shirt, so I wanted to try it out for myself.
While I have other nice bras (underwire, padding, structure, lace), there was just something about this lace bra when I put it on that made me feel instantly sexy. Much sexier than I feel in my other bras. Like I had a little secret under my shirt.
There are so many other things that make me feel sexy of course (my husband!). But when it comes to clothing, my lace bra and a killer dress (in addition to confidence) make me feel the sexiest. Add a little smoky eye in there, bam.
As I was watching Project Runway last night (one of the only shows I still watch!), it was the lingerie challenge, and the winning look was a black lace bra. Nina was actually talking about how sexy it would be under a sheer blouse, and I had written this post already. Great minds…
If you’ve never felt sexy in your bra, girlfriend you need to try some new ones on. Everyone deserves to feel sexy! If you’ve never tried a sheer lace bra, I encourage you to see how it makes you feel!
What makes you feel sexy?
For the ladies who have larger boobs, sorry I can’t relate to you and I know the zero support lace bras aren’t something you can wear for very long. I’ve linked to some bras that have a lot more support than the one above, so take a look!
I picked out some of my favorites for you:

I, of the gazonga contingent, am jealous of smaller boobs! I’d love to wear cute bras – and going braless IS THAT EVEN A THING IN LIFE?
Aw, yes, being small enough to go braless. It’s great, but when you’re in a bikini you wish you had something to fill it up! Pluses and minuses.
I’m small chested myself (apparently the boobs I was rocking back in college were made of mostly fat because when I lost weight, they disappeared…not that I’m complaining!) and for the most part, my bras are boring. I haven’t really thought about bras in quite awhile, but this one is gorgeous!
Oh girl, you are missing out! Get some new gorgeous bras!
I’m obsessed with lace bralettes! I bought one myself and every time I wear it I feel extra sexy! 🙂

Yes EXTRA sexy — that’s a perfect way to put it!
I am a huge believer in beautiful lingerie, and think every woman should regularly splurge and treat themselves – large breasted, small breasted – find what works. There are so many beautiful designs and options! And yes, wearing gorgeous lingerie does make you feel sexy, like your own little secret 😉
Amen!
Hey Meg! This bra is gorgeous! I went to buy it and the link isn’t working. Can you send an updated link or let me know what brand/style it is? I would love to scoop it up!
Sure, here you go! https://www.aninebing.com/collections/lingerie
I don’t think they carry the exact one I have but they have similar.
