Fabric & Fit Breakdown
| Component | Typical Blend | Why It Matters |
| Lace body | 90–92 % nylon, 8–10 % spandex | Nylon keeps the pattern crisp; spandex prevents bagging. |
| Straps | Brushed elastic with 15 % spandex | Holds shape and stays flat. |
| Gusset | 100 % cotton | Moisture management & pH balance. |
Fit Tip: If you’re between sizes, size up—the straps shouldn’t dig or twist when you sit. For plus bodies, look for wider elastic (≥ ½ inch) to avoid rolling.
