Cute School Girl Look
For some reason I am drawn to high maintenance pieces. Very cute, but itchy material that needs to be hand washed. I love the design and it fits well, but not for those who like lingerie that can be thrown in the washer and dryer for a quick clean.

What Is This?
This is the 2 PC. lace bikini top with a wet look star and ruffled mini skirt, or as EdenFantasys advertises it, the Wet Look Bikini Top and Skirt Set, by Leg Avenue. It is made out of cotton (38%), polyester (57%), and spandex (5%); this is listed on the skirt tag and the sales tag, the tops tag has only the price. I believe the polyester is mainly the plaid parts, while the cotton is the hidden section that connects the top part of the skirt to the bottom, and the spandex is the strings on the top. The polyester parts of this piece feels slightly sticky. When touching this while sweaty it feels much stickier. The measurements listed on EF for a S/M, which is the size I got, are:
Cup A-B
Bust 32-36"
Waist 23-27"
Hip 34-38"
While my measurements are:
Cup B
Bust 34"
Waist 28"
Hip 34"
My pants size range anywhere from a 3-7 depending on the brand I get. The bottom piece of this set fits me comfortably with no pinching, squeezing, or muffin topping. I feel that the sizing that EF provides is fairly accurate.
Tell Me About The Top
The top is completely adjustable, meaning if you are on the upper end of the scale or the lower end, you can adjust the top to fit. Your breasts may hang out the side a little if you are someone with a large bust. The bottom of the cups are sewn around the bottom string so that you can move them further apart and closer together for more adjustability. You can also tie the top strings at a comfortable tightness. I find that the top isn't long enough to fit me properly at a 34B, this is more annoying than uncomfortable. The tops measurements are:
From bottom of cup to top: a little over 5.5"
Width of the bottom of one cup: a little over 6.5"
Length of bottom string: 43"
Length of top strings: 17"
Both of the stings are fairly stretchy and are there so that one may be able to adjust the fitting of the top. The black strings are probably where most of the spandex is located. The cups are a black floral lace which feels like cotton with black, red, and silver polyester stars covering about 1/3 of the front of the cup. The lace feels strong, but is kind of irritating and the more I move in it the more it causes me to itch. The star is sewn on well, but the stitching is not straight. Also, the stars are placed differently on each cup; the left one is a little more to the right of the cup while the right one is more centered. There is no padding or under-wire to the top piece but the stars will hide erect nipples.
Alright, So How's The Bottom Piece?
The bottom piece is a short, plaid skirt in black, red, and silver polyester that matches the stars. On the outside it has an elastic band that does not provide much stretch. There is section of the skirt that is flat and plaid with polyester material. The next layer is ruffled, pleated, and plaid as well as layers of floral and polka dotted lace. This repeats itself, and is then adorned with a bow on the upper left side of the skirt. The bow is not removable, but I feel that if this piece is handled too roughly the bow will fall off. Under the first set of plaid and lace you will find a stretch of black cotton, this cannot be scene unless you lift of the outside section, or turn the skirt inside out. Altogether there are 6 layers to the bottom piece. The lace is itchy and, unfortunately, comes in contact with the sensitive skin on your upper thighs and bottom of your cheeks.
The band at the top fits my 34" hip comfortably, but if you are over the suggested measurements I would not recommend getting this size as it would pinch and squeeze those with fuller hips. The stitching on the skirt seems well done, and like it will hold together for a while with the proper care; the bow may need some tacking, though.
The skirt measures:
Waistband unstretched: 14"
Waistband stretched: 18", but stretched this far would be uncomfortable
Band to bottom: 9"
The rest of the skirt has some stretch to it, but if stretched too far you loose the ruffled effect and just get a stretched out skirt look.

Experience
How Do I Care For It?
As you will find on the tag inside the skirt, and the sales tag attached upon arrival, you hand wash in cold water, with only non-chlorine bleach when necessary, drip dry, and do not iron. From the way the material feels if you throw this in the washer and drying it may get ripped, frayed, or even melted.
I store this in my lingerie drawer, with all my other dedicates and have had no problems. It came to me in a plastic bag, so there was no provided, ideal storage. If you were getting this as a gift, you may want to take it out of the clear plastic bag and stick it in a gift bag, other than that this would make a cute gift! Also, for travel, if fits nicely in a suitcase or travel bag with all your other clothes.
*All measurements, excluding the suggested sizing, of the pieces in this review were taken by me. I did not find any measurements provided by the company.
I give this set a 3 out of 5. For me the con's out weigh the pro's. I still like this set and will keep in my collection, but it's not one of my favorites, and is a little more annoying than I'd like. Being high maintenance in the cleaning department, having itchy material, and not fitting right is a little too much "con" to be a decent set.

Follow-up commentary
23 months after original review
This outfit is still a staple in my lingerie collection. My husband absolutely adores the school girl look (goes great with pigtails!) and it works well with his master collar. The material has held up nicely and even though it still lacks support, it looks great!
