When it comes to combining comfort with a touch of sensual style, lace is one fabric that never goes out of fashion. Recently, I decided to explore LA Apparel’s lace collection and give you a full try-on haul experience. In this review, I’ll cover everything from sizing and fit to the quality of the fabric, how it feels on the skin, and whether these pieces live up to the hype. If you’re someone who loves delicate details but also values durability and versatility, you’ll want to keep reading.
First Impressions: Packaging & Presentation
Before we even get to the clothing, let’s talk about presentation. LA Apparel ships their items in a simple, recyclable mailer—nothing too fancy, but very eco-conscious. Inside, each piece was individually wrapped in tissue paper with a sticker label indicating the item’s name and size. It’s minimal but effective and makes the unboxing experience feel clean and organized. No plastic waste, no excessive branding—just the garments.
As soon as I pulled out the lace items, I was struck by how vibrant the colors were. LA Apparel doesn’t shy away from bold hues, and their lace line includes not just your classic blacks and whites, but reds, baby pinks, blues, and even neon shades. It immediately gave me the impression that these pieces aren’t just for special occasions—they’re meant to be part of your everyday wardrobe if you choose.
Item #1: Lace Long Sleeve Top
The first item I tried on was the Lace Long Sleeve Top in black. I ordered a size Small, and I was pleased to see that it fit perfectly. The material was semi-sheer, lightweight, and surprisingly stretchy. Despite being delicate lace, it didn’t feel scratchy or stiff. In fact, it felt soft on the skin, and it conformed to the body without feeling tight or restrictive.
The fit hugged the arms and torso nicely, creating a very flattering silhouette. This piece works well for layering—think a black bralette or tank top underneath, paired with high-waisted jeans or a skirt. It strikes the perfect balance between sultry and stylish.
One concern I often have with lace is durability—will it rip the moment I try to take it off? But I was impressed with how sturdy the stitching was. Even after pulling and stretching the fabric a bit, there were no signs of tearing or loose threads. Definitely a win.

Item #2: Lace Bra Top
Next, I slipped into the Lace Bra Top in blush pink. I sized up to a Medium for this one because I prefer a more relaxed fit with bralettes. The fabric here felt just as soft as the long sleeve top, with enough structure to support smaller busts without underwire.
It features adjustable straps and a supportive band under the bust. This isn’t a full-support bra, but it’s perfect for lounging, layering, or light wear. The lace pattern was intricate, with tiny floral designs that made the piece feel delicate and feminine.
Worn alone, it felt empowering and pretty. Worn under an open-button blouse or mesh top, it gave just enough peek of lace to add some interest. The versatility is what really stood out.
One thing to note: if you’re bustier, you might want to size up further or choose a style with more support, as this top focuses more on comfort and aesthetics than full functionality.
Item #3: Lace Mini Dress
This one was a bold move: I tried the Lace Mini Dress in bright red. Let’s just say this piece is not for the faint of heart. It’s fully lace, slightly sheer, and body-hugging. I ordered a size Small, and it fit like a glove.
The spaghetti straps are adjustable, and the length hit mid-thigh—flirty without being too revealing. The material, again, was breathable and light, which surprised me because some lace dresses can feel heavy or overly textured. LA Apparel’s version walked the line between daring and wearable.
This would be a great piece for a night out, a romantic date night, or even layered over a slip for a more conservative look. I paired it with a leather jacket and ankle boots, and the whole look came together effortlessly.
The only critique? It’s not ideal for all-day wear unless you layer it properly. But as a statement piece, it really shines.

Item #4: Lace High-Waist Briefs
To test out their lace underwear, I picked up the High-Waist Lace Briefs in white. Let me just say, these were a pleasant surprise. Many lace underwear options tend to sacrifice comfort for style, but these were soft, stretchy, and breathable.
The high-waist cut gave a retro, flattering shape and provided more coverage than a thong or bikini cut. They stayed in place all day—no riding up, rolling down, or irritating seams. Plus, they’re pretty enough to wear as part of a matching set with a lace bra or top.
One detail I appreciated was the cotton gusset—something often overlooked in lace lingerie. This makes them more comfortable for extended wear and adds a bit of practicality to an otherwise dainty piece.
Fabric Quality & Feel
Across the board, the lace used in LA Apparel’s pieces felt higher quality than I expected at this price point. It’s soft, not synthetic-feeling, and doesn’t irritate the skin. All pieces had a slight stretch, which helped with comfort and allowed for a better fit without compromising the lace structure.
You can tell these aren’t mass-manufactured in the same way as fast-fashion lace items. The craftsmanship shows in the details: clean hems, symmetrical lace patterns, and strong seams.

Fit and Sizing Advice
LA Apparel’s sizing runs pretty true to size, but there’s some flexibility due to the stretch in the fabric. If you’re between sizes or prefer a looser fit, consider sizing up—especially for items like the bra tops or dresses.
The brand provides a detailed size chart, which I found accurate. Still, if you’re shopping online, it helps to read reviews or watch try-ons (like this one!) to see how pieces fit different body types.
Overall Verdict
So, is LA Apparel’s lace collection worth it? After this try-on haul, I’d say a definite yes—with a few caveats.
Pros:
- Soft, high-quality lace that doesn’t itch or irritate
- Stylish and bold color options
- Thoughtfully designed pieces with versatility in mind
- Durable stitching and construction
- Ethical manufacturing (made in the USA)
Cons:
- Some items are more for style than support (especially bras and dresses)
- Sheerness may not be everyone’s preference
- Slightly higher price point compared to fast fashion
That said, if you’re looking for lace clothing that’s fashionable, flattering, and functional, LA Apparel delivers. These are pieces you can wear confidently, whether you’re dressing up for an event or adding a hint of romance to your everyday wardrobe.

Final Thoughts
The lace try-on haul was not only fun but also eye-opening. LA Apparel has found a niche in creating sensual yet wearable lace pieces that appeal to both comfort-seekers and fashion-forward shoppers. Whether you’re updating your lingerie drawer or adding a few standout layering pieces, you can count on quality, style, and a good fit.
If you’ve been hesitant to explore lace because of comfort concerns or wearability, this collection might just change your mind.
Would I repurchase? Absolutely. Now excuse me while I go add the baby blue Lace Long Sleeve Top to my cart—because one just isn’t enough.
