Behind the Design: How we Leveled Up the Comfort of Our Most Beautiful Collection

When you envision the most romantic Victoria’s Secret moments of all time, Dream Angels floats into (soft) focus. With its hand-cut laces, ethereal embroideries developed in Europe, and feminine detailing, this evocative collection makes every day a bit more enchanting (like you could step out of your 9-to-5 and into a fairytale). 

Now, we’ve taken all that you love from Dream Angels and enhanced it with the supreme comfort you need from our fan-favorite Love Cloud styles. The result? A match made in heaven.  

Creating an exceptional lace bra that’s equal parts chic and comfy can take years of testing and fine-tuning. We sat down with Victoria’s Secret AVP of Design, Ursula Todaro, to discuss some of the newly enhanced Dream Angels features and fabrics you need to touch and feel to believe.

What Makes This Padding Special?

“This is a combination of our Love Cloud marshmallow foam, which is so lightweight and pillow-soft, with new memory foam that forms to your curves,” says Todaro, who hinted memory will be added to other collections coming soon. “It’s really about the bra that remembers you.”

What Makes Our New Lace so Dreamy?

“I always wanted to be a Dream Angels customer, but didn’t like the way lace bras felt,” said Todaro, who worked with our team of in-house specialists to develop supersoft ForeverStretch Lace™ for the bra wings and panties. Enhanced with premium LYCRA Adaptiv flexibility, this material moves with you and is remarkably smoothing on body.  

You’ll also notice our Dare to Dream embroidery showcased on the eyelash-trimmed cups of allover lace bras. With an intricate floral pattern that evokes Forget Me Nots, it’s inspired by the timeless glamour of rare French laces and maintains a modern look.  

How About the Smoothing Styles?

Women are discerning about the fabrics we put against our skin. Featured on some of the sleek everyday choices accented with delicate gold-tone hardware, Love Cloud fans will instantly recognize our buttery-smooth Feathersoft microfiber. 

Push-Up, Demi, or Wicked: Which Bra to Choose?

With five different silhouettes to choose, in smooth, allover lace, or smooth & lace choices, there’s a bra for everybody in this collection. 

FOR THE EVERYDAY MINIMALIST:

A sleek Wireless Bra combines light padding with a modern neckline and smoothing band. 

FOR THE DAY DREAMER:

Our Lightly Lined Demi is now available in both a Classic shape with the original coverage you already know and love; and a plunging smooth version perfect for low-cut tops.

FOR THE ALL-OUT ROMANTIC:

Dream Angels’ best-kept secret just might be its Wicked bra, with its stunning allover lace and balconette shape that offers unlined lift and separation. “The unique construction of the bra offers a level of push-up without the added bulk of padding,” says Todaro. “It gives her a totally different look silhouette.”
