Learn how to get the perfect fit and style the LAST ONE Cardamine Bralette in upcycled vintage ditsy floral print, with care advice to keep it lasting.

Quick answer

To get the best fit from your LAST ONE Cardamine Bralette, use the adjustable straps and lace-up front to customize the fit, then style it as a top or layer for a vintage-inspired look.

Why fit matters for this bralette

The Cardamine Bralette is made from upcycled vintage fabric, which means each piece is unique and may have slight variations in stretch and texture. The easy, stretchy fit is designed to be forgiving, but getting the right size and adjustments ensures comfort and support.

Because this is a LAST ONE item, there is limited availability. Taking the time to measure yourself and use the size chart will help you avoid returns and enjoy your bralette right away.

How to fit, style, and care for your Cardamine Bralette

  1. Measure and choose your size: Use a soft measuring tape to measure your underbust and fullest part of your bust. Compare your measurements to the Clare Bare size chart. The bralette has an easy, stretchy fit, so if you are between sizes, consider your preferred fit—snug or relaxed. Custom sizing is available if needed. Common mistake: relying on your usual bra size without measuring. Upcycled fabric can fit differently than mass-produced styles.
  2. Adjust the straps and lace-up front: Put on the bralette and adjust the straps so they sit comfortably on your shoulders without digging in. Then tighten or loosen the lace-up front to achieve your desired level of support and coverage. The picot edge elastic adds a decorative touch but also helps the bralette stay in place. Checkpoint: the lace-up front should be snug but not tight enough to cause discomfort or distort the fabric.
  3. Style as a top or layer: The vintage ditsy floral print makes this bralette a statement piece. Wear it as a crop top with high-waisted jeans or a skirt for a casual look. For a layered outfit, let the lace-up detail peek out under an open shirt or a sheer blouse. The adjustable straps let you switch between racerback or straight styles. Common mistake: hiding the bralette completely. The unique print and lace-up front are meant to be seen.
  4. Care for the upcycled fabric: Hand wash in cold water with a gentle detergent. Do not wring or twist. Lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight. The upcycled vintage fabric is delicate, and machine washing can cause fraying or shrinkage. Avoid fabric softeners as they can break down the elastic. Checkpoint: always check the care tag for any specific instructions, as vintage fabric may have unique needs.
