Overview
I have to admit that the first time I saw stock photos from Seven ‘til Midnight I wasn’t too impressed. Sure the lingerie looked sexy enough but was it high quality? Then I noticed the Undercover Lover bodysuit in black and what I think of as a purplish pink. I’m not one for bodysuits as sexy lingerie but I do use them to wear underneath my more body contouring dresses to smooth any unflattering body parts that certain outfits tend to highlight. I thought this super sexy piece would probably get a good amount of use so why not try it out. I am so glad I did, this has to be one of my favorite pieces from Eden to date and certainly the best shapewear I own from any seller thus far.
Material and Texture
According to the garments inner tag it is 92% polyester and 8% spandex. Given the fact that there is very little stretch to be had with this bodysuit I would agree that there probably isn’t too much spandex within this. If I had to wager I would say most of the spandex is featured along the black side panels of the garments. Like most of the slips and shapewear I own the Undercover Lover is smooth and slightly shiny. This material will encase your body to smoothen out and flatten any unflattering parts. You should be aware, however, that it’s not very breathable therefore you probably do not want to wear this in hot weather.
Design
The Undercover Lover is a breast to crotch shapewear piece that does exactly what it’s supposed to do: smooth and slim out your frame into an hourglass shape. The top portion includes removable straps that you can adjust to your liking. I have found that the straps are pretty stable about staying in place until you unhook them, so much so that I almost forgot they could be removed. The bust contains an underwire and is already padded but Seven ‘til Midnight decided to provide extra padding to ‘boost cleavage’ that can be inserted into sewn in openings within the cups. Personally while I find the bust to be plenty padded already those with smaller breasts might find the extra padding useful if they’re interested in this piece.



The overall design includes two black spandex side panels that manage to do their job of tucking the waist into a curvy figure quite well. Meanwhile in the middle of the Undercover Lover there is a black lace detail covering the purplish pink material that is equally as efficient at tucking in the body. The lace detail is slightly different than others I have seen in the past. While this does contain the same floral print I have become accustomed to this is much more elaborate than some of the others. The flowers pictured here are roses ranging from medium to small in size that allow one to see the petals in the design. They are sporadically spaced so that the roses stems and leaves are present adding to the effect.


Finally the bottom portion of the Undercover Lover contains plastic clamps on each side with which you snap shut to close. There are two adjustable choices on the front side of the bodysuit but only one in the back. This bottom does not contain a cotton crotch so I would highly advise wearing panties underneath this garment as to prevent any bacteria from developing and rendering this garment useless.


Craftsmanship
I was not expecting this piece to be so well made for an item under $25. But I have found that the Undercover Lover is probably one of the best made pieces on the cheap I’ve seen. In terms of stitching, material, and overall effect this is a greatly crafted piece that makes me want to see more from the manufacturer.
Packaging and Cleaning
This garment comes in a plastic bag with a tag of the model attached to the bodysuit and another, smaller plastic bag containing the bra’s extra padding. Inside the bodysuit is the Seven ‘til Midnight tag which suggests hand washing cold and line drying. I would recommend this as well since you wouldn’t want to ruin the lace or the bra padding. The line drying is also a must, I made the mistake of flat drying mine and the bra cups developed little wrinkles in the bust fabric. They are not overtly obvious but could have been avoided had I follow the directions properly.

In terms of sizing I find the Undercover Lover bodysuit to be a bit off. The chart leads one to believe that this bodysuit should fit A-B bra cups but in reality, well there is a reason you are provided with the packet of extra padding. At a 34C I found that the bra was a bit big on me. Not enough for me to find this piece unwearable but enough to make me frown. Part of the problem is that there is a slight cone boob effect with this piece. The effect is minimal and happens around the nipples but it’s still there. For this reason I recommend that if you are an A or B cup hoping to purchase this piece at all be aware that you will probably need to use the extra stuffing.
I should also note that this bodysuit is not made for women with long torsos. I am 5’3 and found it to be somewhat of a challenge to close the crotch snaps. In measuring my own torso area I have found that I am 17inches in length from bust to crotch. From my own experience I would say that the 20 inch maximum stretch mentioned above might end up with the closures snapping open while in use so I wouldn’t recommend pushing your luck.


Likes and Dislikes
What I wasn’t so fond of
If anything about this garment should bother me it’s the fact that the cups of the breasts are a bit too cone-y. I wonder if it was made this way to adapt to the extra padding that is offered with the bodysuit. If so it seems unnecessary. The padding already offered in the bust is thick without being overstuffed and offers a slight lift of the breasts instead of flattening them down. This is really the only thing I can fix on my behalf but I do hope that the medium and large offer more room for longer torsos then the small did as I can see how this will be troublesome for some women.
What I liked
What didn’t I like? This is such a beautiful bodysuit, the detailing is intricate and the craftsmanship is excellently done. Not only is this a sexy piece but it is something I can wear under my clothes that provides a function other than boosting my confidence by wearing something sexy underneath. It worked wonders when I wore this with a form fitting skirt to flatten the pouch of uterus and waistline. The Undercover Lover made me look flat where I wanted it to and added shape in the places that would best flatter my figure. I really love this piece and hope that Eden gets the rest of this line (right now it’s this and the shaper thong) on the site.
