The Lace Bra That's Actually
Comfortable All Day
Most lace bras are beautiful for about 20 minutes. Here's why the Pin Up Girl Lace Leisure Bra is different — and why it's been a bestseller for nearly 20 years.
I hear the same thing constantly: "I love how lace looks, but I can't wear it for more than an hour." The underwire pokes. The lace scratches. The bra digs into the sides by noon and you spend the rest of the afternoon tugging at it.
That's not a lace problem. That's a design problem. And it's exactly what I set out to fix when I created the Pin Up Collection nearly 20 years ago. The result is a wire-free lace bra in 20+ colors, XS through 5X — that women genuinely wear every day, not just for special occasions.
Here's what makes it different, why it works, and how to wear the full collection.
Why Most Lace Bras Are Uncomfortable — and What to Look for Instead
- Underwire digs into ribs and side body by midday
- Stiff lace fabric scratches and irritates skin
- Narrow back band cuts in and creates back bulge
- Pads are thick and obvious under fitted tops
- Few options above a C cup or size XL
- Beautiful in the drawer. Miserable by lunch.
- Wire-free — zero poking, zero pressure on the chest wall
- Stretch lace that moves with the body, not against it
- Wide lace wing smooths back and sides, lies completely flat
- Removable pads — adjust your coverage, reduce bulk
- Available XS through 5X in the same styles and colors
- The lace bra you actually want to wear on a Tuesday
The Pin Up Girl Lace Leisure Bra: What It Is and Why It Works
The Pin Up Girl Lace Leisure Bra has been in the Rhonda Shear line for nearly 20 years. That kind of longevity only happens one way: the product actually does what it says. Here's the construction, feature by feature.
- Wire-free — no underwire to shift, poke, or dig into your side body
- Wide stretch-lace wing — smooths back and sides, distributes support evenly
- Removable pads — wear with for shape and coverage, without for a lighter feel
- Flat back construction — lies smooth under fitted blouses and T-shirts
- 20+ colorways — neutrals that disappear under clothing, plus fashion colors
- Buy-the-set savings available with matching panties
Can You Wear a Lace Bra Under Work Clothes and Fitted Tops?
Yes — but only if the lace construction is right. The problem with most lace bras under fitted clothing isn't the lace itself, it's the rigid edges, thick pads, and narrow back bands that create visible texture and bulk. The Pin Up Girl Bra's wide, flat wing and removable pads eliminate all three issues. Here's what it works under:
The Matching Lace Panties: Complete the Set
A matching bra and panty set saves money versus buying separately and guarantees the lace weight, color, and fabric feel are calibrated together. The Pin Up Collection includes two panty options, each designed to pair with the lace bra.
- Built-in tummy smoothing panel — lace on the outside, control inside
- Light shaping through hip and waist — comfortable, not compressive
- Same lace fabric and colorways as the bra for a true matched set
- Eliminates the need for a separate shapewear layer under dresses
- Available in coordinating colors with the Pin Up Girl Lace Bra

Questions About the Pin Up Collection
It's wire-free — which removes the most common source of lace bra discomfort immediately. Instead of an underwire digging into your ribcage and side body, the lace wing itself provides the support. The wide wing distributes the weight across a broader area, so there's no single pressure point that builds into pain over the course of a day. The removable pads let you control how much coverage you want without forcing you to wear thick foam all day.
Yes — the Pin Up Girl Lace Leisure Bra's wide wing lies flat with no rigid edges or thick seaming to create visible texture under fitted clothing. Choose a nude or skin-tone colorway for the most invisible result under lighter fabrics. For work or professional clothing, removing the pads gives you an even flatter, lighter profile. The back panel is specifically designed to smooth rather than create lines, which is why so many customers wear it under blouses and work dresses daily.
Yes — the entire Rhonda Shear Pin Up Collection is available in sizes XS through 5X. The same lace, the same 20+ colors, and the same wide-wing construction at every size. The wide lace wing is particularly beneficial for fuller figures because it distributes support across a broader area and reduces back bulge more effectively than a narrow band can.

The Lace Front Brief is designed for everyday comfort — floral lace cutout panels at the front, full coverage at the back, natural waist, soft waistband that doesn't dig. The Lace Control Panty adds a built-in smoothing panel through the tummy and hip area alongside the same lace exterior. The shaping is light rather than compressive — it smooths your silhouette under dresses without the discomfort of a heavy shaper. Choose the Brief for daily wear; choose the Control Panty when you want a smoother line under fitted clothing.
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle inside a mesh lingerie bag. Lay flat or hang to dry — tumble drying degrades the lace fibers and elastic over time. Do not wring or twist. Do not bleach. The lace fabrication — 88% Nylon / 12% Spandex — is built for durability with proper care, and the bra will hold its shape through years of regular washing when treated correctly.
