The vertical seams on the cups are the thing to notice. They're what give this bra its lift and its shape without the help of padding or moulding — engineering you see rather than foam you don't. The openwork floral lace is Calais, layered over sheer tulle, and reads darker or lighter depending on what you wear over it. A fine satin ribbon laces through the top of each cup: a Lise Charmel signature, and one of the quieter erotic details in the category.

Part of the Lise Charmel Désirs de Venise collection, the house's ongoing study of Venetian lace traditions reworked into modern lingerie.
