When I saw this, I was immediately in love. The color is a unique aqua color, and I just adore the black contrast. The color combination really does create a very eye-catching, and sexy, look. '

I purchased this at the same time that I purchased the cincher set, that comes in the same color. The cincher set was a major disappointment..this one, however? This one is great. I'm glad to have it in my collection, and I highly recommend it.

Basics:
The Spell of Lust babydoll is brought to us by Escante. It's made available in a wide variety of sizes, and it comes in just the one color combination. While it would be nice to see this available in more color combinations, the black and aqua combination is truly stunning so I really can't complain.

The babydoll comes with an included g-string, and a lace collar.

Material & Care:
This is made out of 91% Nylon, and 9% Elastane.

The entire babydoll, as well as the included g-string, is sheer. This means that it's going to be pretty revealing; your lover is going to see everything that you have to offer. It being sheer isn't a big deal, as you're probably only going to be wearing it around people that you're okay with seeing everything you've got.

The aqua material is a fine mesh. The mesh is soft and stretchy, but it does snag very easily. While it snags, I do feel like the material is strong -- I don't think it'll tear easily. Just make sure that you keep it away from anything it could snag on.

The aqua material is accented by black detailing. Much of the black detailing is just the border that is sewn around the edges, but then there is the black lace. The black lace is found on both the included g-string, the top of the cups of the babydoll, and the collar. The lace material doesn't itch, but it's a little rough feeling. The lace does feel very durable, though.

To care for this item, you should hand wash it in cold water, and then allow it to line dry. You shouldn't wring or twist it, and you should only use non-chlorine bleach when needed.

Sizing:
Escante has made this beautiful set available in multiple sizes. It's available in small, medium, large, 1X, 2X, and 3X. I purchased the large.

According to the size chart, a large should fit someone with the following measurements:
Cups: C-D
Bust: 36-38"
Waist: 32-34"
Hips: 34-36"

I usually wear a 34D bra, and I have a 32" waist. My hips measure 40". My hips do measure larger than the size chart recommends, but I could tell that that wouldn't really be a problem. This is because the style of the babydoll makes it so that the waist and hip measurements don't really matter, since the babydoll is an open design. I did worry a little that the g-string would be too small, but my past experience with Escante's thongs and g-strings has been quite, so I decided to take the chance.

In the end, I'm glad that I purchased a large. The g-string fits my 40" hips excellently, though it does cut in a tiny bit. It doesn't cut in enough to be uncomfortable, or to look bad, so I'm not complaining. As for the babydoll itself? I love it! It fits well, though the cups could be a little bigger. My D cup breasts seem to be pushing the limit, but they fit comfortably enough.

When purchasing this item, I would say that your bust and cup measurements are the most important.

Design:
I have a love/hate relationship with the design of this babydoll. On the one hand, I adore that it's an open style babydoll. I find this style to be extremely flattering, despite the fact that my body is less than perfect. On the other... I hate that there's no way to open the front of it.

You see, the front of the babydoll is sewn shut, making it so that you need to slip it over your head to get it on and off. It's not difficult to do, but during sexual play, I like my significant other to be able to just unhook it. It's not really a huge deal, it was just a minor disappointment.

I adore the back of the babydoll. The back is sewn in a way that makes the middle part of the back go up, providing your lover with a little peak about your behind. I think it's a very sexy design, as does my lover.

I was happy to see that this babydoll features underwire, as the underwire does offer some support. That being said, don't expect to get a ton of support from this babydoll. The cups are sheer, so they're very flimsy -- but the underwire does help some. The adjustable shoulder straps also help to offer some support.

I love that the lace on the bust provides a bit of a frame, and that the area where the underwire is, is sewn in black. This just makes a very eye catching look. I also love that the lower half of the babydoll was bordered in black, as this makes the piece look "finished".

The included g-string is fantastic, and very sexy. It's the same color combination as the babydoll, but rather than just outlining the aqua material in black thread, they actually put lace on the g-string. It's very, very sexy and very comfortable. The g-string also features a little cotton pantyliner.

As for bows, because most lingerie features a bow or two...yes, this one does feature two bows. One small bow is located right in between the cups on the babydoll, whereas the other is found on the center front of the g-string. They're very small, and I think that they're cute. If you don't like them, you could probably remove them with a seam ripper, just be very, very careful!

Lastly, we have the included collar. It's essentially a strap of black lace, with a smaller strap of aqua fabric, and some velcro. The collar is a complete afterthought, and it's really kind of pointless. My neck is pretty small and I found the collar was way too big to lay flat. It just ended up looking ridiculous on me.

Quality:
The quality is okay. There were some loose threads, and there are some areas that the mesh just looks a little off, but it's only noticeable if you get right up close to it.

I have mixed feelings about this one, but I still like it overall. The thong is pretty, and it makes regular appearances on my body. The babydoll... well, I'm just not sure about the back, still. The front is amazing though, and my partner loves how it looks on me.

It's held up well, too.
