LingerieVetted pick
Bluebella Orla Wired Thong Bodysuit
Braise ratingHighly Recommended
A black mesh bodysuit with an underwired bra built in, so you get the lift of a real bra and the clean line of a bodysuit in one piece.
A vetted pick, chosen for the Braise catalog on merit, never for payment. Here's what earns it a place and who it's for. How we review

How we vetted it
Vetted from Bluebella's listings at Shopbop, ASOS and Victoria's Secret for fabric, sizing and construction. Owner reviews of this style are still few, so the retailers' descriptions are the main source. We haven't worn it.
What works well
It's sold in band and cup sizes, like a bra, rather than small, medium and large. That's what lets it fit a fuller bust properly, where a standard bodysuit would flatten or gape. The underwire gives shape and lift, the mesh panels and wire detailing give it structure, and the thong back keeps the line clean under clothes. The fabric is a stretch polyester and elastane with a cotton gusset.
Why we chose it
- Sized by band and cup
- Underwire support
- Clean line under clothes
- Works for a night out
In your room
Black mesh and wire detail look sharp and graphic, so it suits cleaner, darker rooms like Modern Noir or Industrial Loft. It's also the rare piece that can go out to dinner under a jacket and come home already part of the evening.

Skip it if
Underwire bothers you, or you'd rather have soft lace than structure.
Who it's for
Anyone with a fuller bust who wants a bodysuit that supports like a real bra, and one that works under a blazer for a night out as well as on its own.
Where it fits in the room
Picture it in a Parisian Boudoir room.
The right piece lands better in a room that was planned for the two of you. Start from the Parisian Boudoir look in the Room Designer, set the light and the layout, and see the space come together around it.
