Which is better for wearing as a top?

The Lyla Basque. It is designed to be worn as lingerie or as a top with jeans. The Kimmy is a bra and panty set meant as underwear.

Which has better size options?

The Kimmy. It is sold by cup and band size, listed in DD on a 32 band. The Lyla comes only in S, M and XL, so cup fit is not adjustable.

Is the Lyla worth it over the Kimmy?

If you want a bustier look and a lower price, yes. At $22.99 versus $40.57 as of November 7, 2026, it costs about $18 less. If you need a true bra fit, pay for the Kimmy.

Which is more comfortable?

Buyers of the Lyla call the lace soft and stretchy and say it doesn't bunch, but some find the corset snug and the band large. The Kimmy has no reported comfort complaints, and its underwire gives more support.

Neither listing gives a durability figure. The Kimmy's polyamide and elastane blend and underwire construction are typical of everyday bras. The Lyla's garter straps are the part buyers most often report failing.

Do both come with a panty?

Yes. The Lyla ships with a bustier and panty. The Kimmy is sold as a bra and panty set.
