Let’s face it—there’s no shortage of lingerie brands out there. But how many of them actually put comfort and function first? The truth is, many lingerie products still prioritize appearance over performance, leaving customers frustrated with poor fit, itchy fabrics, and products that simply don’t last.

If you’re building your own lingerie brand, this presents a huge opportunity. Customers are no longer just buying lingerie for special occasions—they’re wearing it daily. That means they expect more from every stitch and strap.

At Good Worth Sports, we help new and growing brands develop custom lingerie that’s beautiful, functional, and ready for the modern consumer. This guide walks you through what makes a lingerie design truly wearable—and how to bring it to life through quality manufacturing.

 

What Women Want in Lingerie Today

The lingerie industry has evolved. Today’s shoppers aren’t just looking for push-up bras and lace thongs. They're prioritizing:

• Comfort for all-day wear

• Support without excessive hardware

• Breathable, soft fabrics

• Inclusive sizing and body-positive fits

• Clean aesthetics that still feel feminine or expressive

• Products that last more than a few washes
   

Brands that deliver on these expectations win loyalty—and repeat sales.

 

The Core Elements of Wearable, Sellable Lingerie

To design lingerie that doesn’t just look good on a model but feels great in real life, you need to pay attention to five critical elements.

1. Fabric Selection

The base of every lingerie piece is its fabric. Choose wrong, and you risk discomfort, shrinkage, or pilling. Choose right, and your customer won’t want to take it off.

At Good Worth Sports, we source a wide range of lingerie-appropriate fabrics, including:

• Micro-modal and bamboo jersey for softness

• Power mesh and stretch lace for shaping

• Cotton blends for breathability

• Recycled synthetics for sustainability

• OEKO-TEX certified options for skin sensitivity
   

Whether you're aiming for eco-conscious or luxurious, the fabric must match both the aesthetic and the function of your design.

 

2. Functional Design and Fit

Customers want lingerie that works with their body—not against it.

We help brands optimize for:

• Support without underwire using wide elastics and strategic stitching

• Comfortable gussets and seams that don’t chafe

• Adjustable straps and band widths for customization

• Inclusive sizing with accurate grading

• Adaptive fits for postpartum, plus-size, or gender-neutral needs
   

Our experienced patternmakers and fit specialists ensure that your designs serve real people—not just standard mannequins.

 

3. Thoughtful Construction

Good construction is what separates a $12 impulse buy from a $45 staple.

We ensure:

• Flatlock or hidden seams where appropriate

• Secure elastic placement that doesn't roll or dig

• Reinforced stress points (e.g., where straps join cups)

• Clean finishing even on the inside
   

Our quality control team checks every batch to make sure that what you designed is exactly what your customer receives—down to the last stitch.

 

4. Customization That Makes Sense

Customization is exciting, but it needs to be intentional.

We guide brands through:

• Selecting signature design elements (e.g., lace paneling, branded hardware)

• Colorway development based on trends or brand palette

• Custom labels and hang tags

• Seasonal releases or limited runs
   

A minimalist bralette can feel like a luxury piece with the right label, trim, or box. We make sure your brand identity is reflected in every detail.

 

5. Scalable Manufacturing

Once your design is dialed in, you need a production partner who can scale without sacrificing quality. At Good Worth Sports, we offer:

• Low MOQs to test the market

• Fast sample turnaround

• Bulk production with consistent sizing and stitching

• Global shipping and logistics coordination

• Packaging and barcoding for retail-readiness
   

Whether you’re launching 100 units or 10,000, we keep your brand’s standards intact at every stage.
