If you ask me, there are just not enough longline-bra-style bustiers out there. Trust me, I've spent some serious time looking. I love the look; it offers a little more coverage than a regular bra, but still some skin between tops and bottoms. Longline bras look great with a high waisted panty or garter belt. I was really hoping that the Knit Bustier with Stretch Lace Accent would get the job done at a reasonable price.

Frankly, I'm disappointed. First of all, I have no idea which part of this piece is supposed to be "knit." I mean, the cups are made of fabric? Is that supposed to be it? The rest of the bustier is sheer with some lace, which doesn't really come across in the product photos. I do kind of like this since I have a chestpiece tattoo, and the sheerness makes my ink enticingly visible.

However, being mostly sheer, the entire bra is pretty flimsy. The material is cheap and a little itchy, but I've found that's kind of to be expected at this price range. The cups are a bit too far apart for my boobs, which I don't think are particularly close together; maybe it is designed for Mariah Carey? Because of the lack of structural support, the whole thing has a tendency to warp when you so much as take a deep breath. The straps also can't be adjusted at all. They're elastic and fit fine on me, but I can see that being a problem for anyone who is not my exact size.

The thong that comes with the bustier is nothing special.It's a wide-waistband cut, I suppose to highlight the fact that it matches, which it does.

But, as I've said, bustiers of this cut are difficult to find at affordable prices and, if you hold really still, it looks hot. I just recommend posing and then immediately removing this piece.
