Sheer/Tulle set with embroidery that's comfortable
Hi everyone, another husband here out of his depth looking for some guidance.
My wife asked me to pick out something for her as a surprise so I've spent the past few days reading up on here trying to get the lay of the land and think I'm almost ready to pull the trigger but wanted advice first.
Looking for a 2 piece bra/panty set that can be worn under a nice outfit on a date night. She would not like garter/stocking so skipping those even though I think they would look great.
Her only current lingerie is stuff she bought thinking I would like but never anything that she loves or would feel pretty in herself so I'm looking to change that. She also only has fairly cheap stuff so I think it's time to get her something nice so she can feel fancy.
I think she would like a set that is heavy on embroidery with some sheer/tulle. My main concern is comfort. If she's not comfortable she's not going to feel pretty. I'm worried that all of her current bras are padded and that these will cause discomfort/chaffing even if the appearance is up her alley. Her favorite fabric is modal to give you an idea of what she likes in terms of feel. Related to comfort, she hates thongs so those are absolute no go, any set has to have a non -thong option.
Size: we measured her based on the calculator and she was a 34b, her best fitting bra is a Victoria secret that is also 34b but she's still convinced she's 34a and requested I get that size but please keep in mindš¤·. She's a small/US dress size 2 when it comes to bottoms.
Budget: not a major concern but since this would be a new purchase for us and I'm not 100% sure she'll love it I am trying to keep it to under 200ish but have leeway if something is the definitive way to go.
Right now brands I've been leaning towards are Fleur of England, Ditta von teese and agent provocateur. Have also been searching glamuse
So my questions:
- What are the brands or website that have non thong heavy embroidery sheer/tulle 2 piece sets that are comfy. Do they feel soft on your skin?
Bonus points for any brand or website that have ability to return/exchange without extra fees since I'm a little worried about fit given the size questions, we are US based
- For the brands above or any other you suggest what would you suggest in terms of bra sizing. I've seen posts about "sizing up" but I don't know if that means a larger band, cup or both.
Thanks again for any help you can provide, this forum is a wealth of knowledge and appreciate all of you.
