Leather Lace Teddy with Adjustable Collar and Elastic G-String 4-160

What this piece is

The Leather Lace Teddy 4-160 is a one-piece women's teddy cut from sheer black floral lace and finished with narrow glossy black binding along every edge. It is a single garment rather than a two-piece set: the bodice, the midsection and the brief are joined, so it goes on and comes off as one piece. An adjustable collar sets the neck, and the back is finished as an elastic g-string. The style number 4-160 is the manufacturer's own reference and is the quickest way to identify it against a catalogue or a reorder.

How it is cut and put together

The body of the teddy is a single continuous panel of floral lace, open enough to read clearly as sheer. The lace carries a large rose-and-leaf repeat rather than a fine all-over mesh, so the pattern sits as a visible motif across the front instead of disappearing into texture. It runs uninterrupted from the bust down through the hip, with no seam across the waist and no panel change at the midriff.

Framing that lace is a narrow glossy black binding. It is applied as a continuous trim rather than as decoration in one spot: it follows the V of the neckline on both sides, runs up over the shoulders, outlines the open sides, and turns down around each leg opening. Because the binding is a solid, light-catching black against an open lace ground, it is what draws the outline of the garment on the body — the lace fills the shape, the trim draws it.

At the neck there is a separate band that sits around the throat, joined to the bodice by a short strap running down the center front. That band is the adjustable collar, and it is set independently of the bust, so the neckline and the neck band are two different fit points rather than one.

The front neckline is a deep, narrow V that runs well down the torso. There are no molded cups, no underwire and no visible boning in the bust — the lace and the trim do the shaping, which is why this style reads as soft rather than structured.

The leg openings are cut high, finishing above the hip bone rather than at the top of the thigh. The sides are open: the lace narrows to a strip over the hip, leaving the waist and the ribcage bare between the leg opening and the arm opening. That open-sided construction is a defining feature of this cut and is worth knowing before ordering, because it changes how the piece sits compared with a closed-side teddy. At the rear, the brief is finished as an elastic g-string.

How to put it on and wear it

Step into this style from the bottom rather than pulling it over your head. Gather the lace, step through the leg openings, draw the body up over the hips, then settle the shoulders and set the neck band last. Taking it on in that order keeps the load off the lace, which is the part of the garment most likely to catch.

Once it is on, there are two things to set. Adjust the collar so it sits comfortably at the base of the throat — snug enough to stay put, loose enough to slide a finger underneath. Then walk the trim into place: run a finger along the binding at the neckline, the sides and each leg opening so the edge lies flat against the skin rather than rolling. A rolled edge on a bound garment is the single most common reason a piece like this looks wrong on, and it takes about ten seconds to correct.

Remove jewelry, watches and anything with a clasp before handling open lace. Rings and bracelets are the usual culprits for pulled threads on a garment like this one.

Care and storage

Hand wash this piece in cool water with a mild detergent, and keep the wash short. Do not wring it out — press the water through the lace between your palms, or roll the garment in a clean towel and press. Wringing is what distorts an open lace panel, and that distortion does not come back out.

Reshape the piece flat and leave it to dry away from direct heat. Keep it off a radiator and out of a tumble dryer, and keep the glossy binding away from a hot iron entirely — a trim of this kind will mark under direct heat long before the lace does. If the trim needs wiping down, use a soft dry cloth.

Store the garment flat or loosely folded in a drawer rather than on a hanger. Hanging a lace one-piece puts the whole weight of the garment on the shoulders, which stretches them over time. Keeping it away from hook-and-loop fastenings, sequins and anything else abrasive in the same drawer will save the lace more than any washing routine will.

Who it suits

This is a piece for an adult who already knows they want a sheer lace one-piece and wants the trimmed, high-cut version of it rather than a soft romantic one. The glossy binding and the neck band give it a harder-edged look than a plain lace teddy, and the open sides and high leg make it a deliberately brief cut. If you are browsing the wider range, it sits alongside the rest of our teddies and within the broader lingerie collection.

It is less likely to suit someone looking for bust support or coverage. There is no cup structure and no lining, so this is a decorative garment rather than a supportive one. Anyone who wants a defined bust shape should look at a structured style instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Leather Lace Teddy 4-160 see-through?

Yes — the body of this teddy is a sheer floral lace and is see-through across the whole panel. There is no lining and no opaque bust cup anywhere on the garment. The only solid areas are the narrow glossy binding at the neckline, shoulders, sides and leg openings, and the center front strap running to the neck band.

Is the collar on this teddy attached, or separate?

The collar is attached to the garment by a short strap at the center front, so it is worn as part of the piece rather than as a separate choker. It is adjustable and sits independently of the bust, which means you set the neck and the neckline as two different fit points. Set it so you can slide a finger between the band and your neck.

Does this piece have any bust support?

No — there are no molded cups, no underwire and no visible boning in this style. The bust is unlined lace held by the shoulder straps and the bound neckline, so the piece shapes softly rather than lifting or structuring. If support matters more to you than the look of an unlined lace bodice, a cupped or underwired style is the better choice.

How should I wash a lace piece like this one?

Hand wash it in cool water with a mild detergent, then press the water out and dry it flat. Skip the machine, skip the tumble dryer and skip the iron — the glossy binding will mark under heat well before the lace will. Storing it folded flat rather than on a hanger keeps the shoulders from stretching between wears.
