Sets

A lingerie set is two or three pieces made to be worn together, such as a bra and knickers, a corset with a thong or a bodysuit with stockings, to wear yourself or to give as a gift. To choose, first get the size right using the size guide on the product page, then decide on the style: lace, mesh or satin.

What is a lingerie set?

A set is several garments of the same design sold together. The most common is a bra and knickers, but there are also corsets with a thong, bodysuits with stockings, bustiers with briefs, or tops with knickers and a suspender belt. Buying a coordinated set means the colour, the lace and the style match, and you save yourself the search for separate pieces that go together. If you are after a single garment, take a look at bodysuits, corsets and bustiers or chemises.

Types of sets

There are sets in many styles, from classic lace to harnesses and vinyl.

  • Classic 2-piece lace: bra and knickers or thong. It is the favourite for gifts and for a first purchase.
  • Corset with thong: shapes the silhouette and defines the waist. It works well if you want to show off your figure.
  • Bodysuit with stockings: the complete look in a single purchase, with no need to think about what to match.
  • Mesh, leather and straps: net tops, harnesses or chains with a bondage look, for a bolder style.
  • Satin and silk: a soft feel and a romantic touch.
  • Plus sizes: if you are looking for cuts designed for curves, there is a dedicated section in plus size.

Sizes and fit

Sizes run from XS to 4XL depending on the manufacturer, and each product includes its own size guide for bust, waist and hip. Measure yourself with a tape measure and compare with that brand's chart, because sizes vary from one brand to another. Some sets come in dual sizes (S/M, L/XL) or in one size, and fit thanks to the stretchy fabric.

How to choose

  • Size: compare your bust, waist and hip measurements with the guide on the product page; if you are between two sizes, the larger one is usually more comfortable.
  • Pieces included: the product page says what comes in the set (bra, knickers, suspender belt, stockings); do not assume that everything in the photo is included.
  • Bra: push-up if you want lift, full cup if you need support, wire-free if you prefer comfort.
  • Fabric: check the composition; with elastane or Lycra it stretches and fits the body better.
  • Fastenings: adjustable straps, hooks or ties let you fine-tune the fit.

Sets: frequently asked questions

What size should I buy as a gift if I do not know their measurements?

Their usual clothes size is a good reference. Stretch lace sets are forgiving of one size up or down, and if in doubt it is better to go one size up than to end up too small. Chemises and babydolls are a safer gift because their loose cut suits several sizes.

Which set should I buy as a gift if I do not know what they like?

A black 2-piece lace set. Statistically, it is the most likely choice to go down well as a gift.

Is it worth buying a set or is it better to buy separate pieces?

To start with or as a gift, a set: it is cheaper than buying the pieces separately and you make sure they match. Separate pieces make sense if you already own lingerie and want to mix styles.

How do I know if a set will suit me?

Look at the structure. A push-up bra flatters smaller busts and a full-cup bra supports larger ones; a suspender belt visually lengthens the legs and a high waist smooths the stomach. Look for the same structure as the underwear you feel comfortable in.

What is the difference between a set and a bodysuit or a teddy?

The number of pieces. A bodysuit and a teddy are a single garment covering the torso and knickers; a set is separate garments that you combine.

How do I wash a lingerie set?

By hand, in cold or lukewarm water with a mild soap, unless the label says otherwise. Dry it flat and without a tumble dryer so the lace and the elastic last longer.
