A Beautifully Bold Statement (S)
This set might be better suited for pairing with a camisole and a cute pair of jeans, but it would work just as well inside the bedroom if you don't mind having sleeves. The color is bright and vibrant and really makes a statement, and the lace is soft and feels nice against the skin. Definitely worth owning if you don't think your arms will have a problem fitting, since the arms seem to be a bit tight.

This came wrapped up in pretty pink tissue paper, and had a cardboard tag attached to the top. There's a tag in both the thong and the top that give you materials, care, and sizing. This set is 100% Polyester and should be hand washed in cold water and line dried. I would feel comfortable running it through the washing machine, and maybe even the dryer, but do so at your own risk.
This comes in a few different sizes, and I got this one in a small. To Dreamgirl, that means that I should be between a size 2-6, with a cup size of A-B, bust of 32-34, 24-26" waist, 34-36" hips, and weigh between 90 and 120. I'm 5'2", about a size 6, I weigh about 120, around my bust measures 32" and underneath measures about 28 1/2". I've got about a 29" waist and measure about 34" around the top of my hips and 38" around my butt and wear a good solid B cup. This was comfortably loose in the torso, although a bit tight around my arms.
In this set you get the top, and a thong. The thong is pretty basic, and surprisingly comfortable. It's more of a "traditional" design rather than a t-back. Most of the waistband is a generic elastic trim, but when laid flat it stretches from about 13" to about 19", although towards the upper end you're going to get some digging in and it may become uncomfortable. I wore it a little lower on my hips, about 35" around, and on me it dug in visually but wasn't uncomfortable. It's about 4 1/2" wide at the top of the triangle and about 1" wide at the smallest part of the crotch and does a surprisingly decent job of covering everything. It does feature a crotch liner that's sewn in well and definitely looks like it was meant to be there and wasn't just an afterthought.
The top is designed to be an off the shoulder affair, and completely see through. It does have removable straps that you can adjust, although it stays up just as well with or without them. The neck opening is straight across and you really can't wear it up on your shoulders, unlike some other off the shoulder items. Across the top is a lace trim about 1 1/2" tall, and the opening measures about 16" across when laid flat, and stretches up to about 22" across. The sleeves are 20" long from under the arm and 24" from the top of the shoulder. From under the armpit to the bottom hem is about 21". I'm about 15" from under my armpit to the top of my hips and on my it came down a few inches past that.
The lace is all soft, and surprisingly not itchy at all. The overall craftsmanship is nice too. Everything here looks and feels like it was thought through. There aren't any loose threads or fraying ends and it feels like it should hold up quite a while. The only thing I'm not that hot about is the white tag very clearly visible along the also very clearly visible seam that runs through the middle of the back. To me it would have made more sense to put that seam along the side, but the tag can be easily removed to make it slightly less obvious. Oh, and the arms. My arms are about 10" around where the sleeves meet the chest portion, and that was really tight with this top. Once I got everything situated it was fine and didn't restrict movement, but if my arms were any bigger I'd have to remove the sleeves to make it work.
I purchased this with the intention of wearing it with a tank top, so that's how you're going to see it in the pictures below. For those of you wanting to wear it on its own, note that it should be nipple and nipple piercing compatible, and not try to rip anything out.

Experience
I wasn't sure what to expect from this when I first got it. I was really excited for the concept because I love layering tank tops underneath other things, and this just begged to be worn that way. I ended up getting this one in a small, and another one in a medium, although my medium didn't ship with the small. I do think that the arms would have been a lot better in a medium, although the torso might not have fit as nicely. The torso on this one was comfortably loose and worked wonderfully with the look I was going for. I really do want this in all of the colors, and I wish I hadn't waited so long to get them!

Thanks it looks great on you.

Thank you
-
The sleeves on this one look more loose than the purple. Is that the case?
-
I really feel like they were about the same, with the purple being a bit looser because it was a bigger size.
-
