Beige Underwired Bra with Black Floral Embroidery

A beige bra with black floral embroidery and gold-tone details

Black flowers on a sheer beige ground. From a short distance the embroidery seems to lie straight on the skin. That is the idea of this Axami bra.

Under the look sits a full construction: wires under the cups, boning at the sides and adjustable straps. It comes in 30 sizes, from 65C to 95D.

At a glance

The piece: model 203240 by Axami

Axami calls model 203240 a soft bra with floral black embroidery. The maker lists wires under the cup, whalebones at the sides and an extra silicone band that secures the cups, so they stay in place while you move through the day.

The straps are adjustable and can't be taken off. The bra closes with hooks and eyes, and the small hardware is gold in colour.

You are buying the bra only. The suspender belt, thong and stockings in the photos are other items from the same line.

Who it's for

For you if you want lingerie that looks delicate and still has wires and structure. The maker calls it suitable for daytime and for evenings.

The size range is wide. Bands run from 65 to 95 and cups from B to G, though not every cup exists in every band. Check the table for your combination.

Closer look: maker's data and photos

• Floral black embroidery (maker's data) on sheer beige cups with a scalloped upper edge (photos)
• Built-in wires under the cups (maker's data)
• Whalebones at the sides (maker's data)
• Additional silicone band that secures the cups (maker's data)
• Adjustable, non-removable straps in black (maker's data and photos)
• Hook-and-eye closure (maker's data)
• Gold-coloured accessories, including a small ornament between the cups (maker's data and photos)

Whether the cups are padded is not stated. In the photos they look thin and sheer.

Materials and build: structure stated, fibres not

The supplier's data for this bra has no composition. We know the parts, which are wires, side bones, a silicone band and embroidery, but not the fibres of the mesh or the thread. The sewn-in label will tell you.

In the photos the cup fabric is a fine, see-through mesh in a skin-like beige, and the embroidery sits slightly raised on top of it.

Size and dimensions: find band and cup in the table

The maker gives two ranges per size, both in centimetres: the underbust and the chest. A 75C, for example, is listed for an underbust of 73 to 77 cm and a chest of 91 to 92 cm. An 80D is for 78 to 82 cm and 98 to 99 cm.

Measure both on bare skin or over an unpadded bra, then look for the row where both numbers fit. If you land between two cups, sheer cups without padding tend to be less forgiving than moulded ones, so we would take the larger cup.

Size chart (cm)

Source: the maker's size table, in centimetres. Measure the underbust snugly under the bust and the chest over its fullest part.

Styling: black and gold

The photos show the bra with its matching suspender belt, thong and black-top stockings. If you want the whole look, those are sold separately.

On its own it goes with plain black briefs. The black straps are meant to be seen, so a top with a wide neckline or a loose black shirt left open one button lower both work.

Occasions

The maker suggests daily wear and evenings out. Under a white or pale top the black embroidery will show through, so keep it for darker clothes, or for the days you want it to show.

Care: follow the label

The maker's data has no care instructions, so go by the sewn-in label. With any underwired, embroidered bra it helps to close the hooks before washing and to use a laundry bag, so the hooks don't catch the embroidery.

The wow detail: flowers that seem to float

Because the mesh is close to a skin tone, it almost disappears when worn. What is left is the black embroidery: stems, leaves and petals that seem to rest on the body with nothing behind them.
