Chiffon and Faux Leather Cami Set

For today's review I'll be looking at the Chiffon and Faux Leather Cami Set by Dreamgirl. As always, click any image to see the full version!

Best View:


To start with, the name of this outfit seems a little ridiculous as the outfit is labeled as 100% polyester. Moving on from that, this outfit consists of a peasant style top with four front buckles securing it, a sheer thong, and a neckband. The back of the top is sheer, as are the sleeves. The faux leather straps for the front-closure buckles don't feel very durable. Also the faux leather panels are only in the front. There are mini ribs going down the bottom half to make the top appear like an under-the-bust corset. These ribs are just decorative though, and don't hold you in. There is a helpful strap between the shoulder cuffs to keep them in place. The sheer thong is labeled as a one-size, and is a shade smaller than I would expect. Generally though, it's a decent polyester thong- it has a mini pantyliner and the back is wide enough to not encourage wedgies. The neckband is a pink ribbon with a front buckle that matches the top. As this is ribbon, it becomes crinkled rather easily. Also the buckle is decorative, and the ribbon has to be tied. All together, these make for a pretty rather soft and feminine set. 

This outfit should be hand washed in cool water and tumble dried on low. It also comes on a basic plastic hanger. This set should work better for less curvy bodies, and if you're curvy you may want to order a size up. There also isn't any chest support. Unfortunately there are currently only three sizes offered- S, M, L. On top of that, besides the buckles having three holes, this isn't adjustable. This would be a really cool piece if it was made of sturdier materials. As is, it can be a fun surprise for an evening, but I wouldn't anticipate wearing it lasting long.

Holiday Scalloped Babydoll and G-String

For today's review I'll be looking at Holiday Scalloped Babydoll and G-String by Coquette. This is going to be an image heavy post, and the images can be clicked for their full size version.

I have mixed feelings about this magenta, more red than purple, and black set. The top is lovely, and the mesh is surprisingly comfortable and not itchy. However the top is a pain in the neck to get on. There are four little hooks and eyes, and I could only get the top and bottom ones; whenever I went for a middle one, another one would come undone. The top has underwire and light padding. I appreciate that the bow was attached with a safety pin- I personally prefer the set without the bow. The thong was a little tight and bit into my skin. With my body shape, and falling right between Coquette's medium and large, it would have been better to have the large thong, but stick with the medium top. The thong is rather cute though, with magenta and black designs.

The measurements for the piece are as follows, and keep in mind this is for the medium. The bra straps when extended are 15.5", and shortened they are 8.5". The straps are made of a stretchy but sturdy material. The mesh skirt portion is 12.5" long. The babydoll and thong need to be hand washed and hung to dry as they are rather delicate. This set comes with a lovely soft hanger, so it won't get wrinkled when not in use.

I wish Coquette also offered this as a bra and g-string set, as that would just be a little more usable. Lovely as this set is, it won't see the world outside my bedroom. This set is rather comfortable, and given the option to wear it more often, I would.

I loved the way the top fit. The thong, not so much.

Siberian Midnights Ring Cami Set

For today's review, I'll be looking at Siberian Midnights Ring Cami Set by Escante. There will be some images in this review as it is lingerie, click the pictures for their full size.

I really wanted to adore this set. I love the dark purple with black, with its edgy sexiness. On top of that I love adorable cami-and-thong sets; I like items that are versatile, and can be worn outside of the bedroom. Even better is when a partner begins to associate such an outfit with sexy times, and then you happen to wear the top paired with jeans. So fantastic. 

So I had high hopes for this lil' outfit. Unfortunately, for me, it did not meet them. If you're in between sizes, like I was, definitely go a size up. I'm wearing the medium here, and I should have gone with the large. I also found the top to be a little too short to be worn just as a top. Since the top was a little small on me, it was rather unflattering around my belly. I would have expected the slightly constricting material to be a little more flattering, but it wasn't. The thong on the other hand, was rather comfortable and didn't noticeably press into me. It didn't photograph too well here, but the thong is black with a dark purple crotch area, and it has a black pantyliner. It's pretty cute.

This outfit is made out of polyester, nylon, and elastic. It should be hand washed cold, and line dried. The eden fantasys page states there is silk in this outfit, and that is false.

I would definitely recommend this set to people who are both comfortable in their own body, and are willing to go up a size.

If this was in the $15 or less price-range, I would buy it as a sexy-around-the-house get-up.

  Wear-ability: 10/20
The outside part of the outfit felt nicer than the inside.
A little tight, top not comfortable.

Aesthetics: 49/75
Intended Look: 4/5
Similar to product image, however the front section curves down.
Reusability: 15/20
Hand-washable. Doesn't seem like it will rip soon.
Can be squished into a tiny ball for travel.
Best Look: 30/50
Perhaps if I had a size up I would have felt more comfortable and sexy in this outfit.

Thanks Eden Fantasys!

Lace Strappy Bra and G-String

For today's review, I'll be looking at the Lace Strappy Bra and G-String Set by Legs Avenue. As a head's up now, there will be images of me wearing said lingerie. So if nipples scare you, now would be a good time to exit. This is going to be an image heavy review- woo-hoo! {All images can be clicked for the full version, sorry about the low quality.}

Between these two pieces, I preferred the top. All in all I found this nylon set a shade too tight, and cut into my skin a little too deep for my liking. On the side view pictures, you can see how much it is cutting into my behind. So definitely not a set to wear for extended amounts of time! As a sexy little get-up to come off quickly though? It works excellently. The g-string gets in the way of any comfortable penetration, but is perfect to wear while being spanked! There isn't much material, yet it's rather flattering.

I wear a 36C bra, and found the top portion fit snugly. The size chart claims this set will fit: Bust 32-38, Waist 23-29, Hips 34-40, Dress Size 6-12, and Cup Size A-C. I think this would fit people almost any breast size, and a dress/skirt size twelve or under. Overall, I think this set would be flattering to most bodies who fit the size requirements.

This set is rather delicate and should be washed by hand. I liked the design of the g-string quite a bit, unfortunately it just bit into my butt too much!

If this was in the $10 or less price-range, I would buy it as a fun foreplay outfit.

Sunk into body a little too much.
Very uncomfortable after a half hour.

Hand-washable. Delicate, feels like may rip.

Best Look: 50/50
This is a hot little number. Looks-wise, I have no complaints.
I found the dangly bands attached to the g-string rather coy.
It made me feel sexy.
