My bustier arrived in a flat, non-marked, plastic bag, and had a single tag displaying the product on the model and the size 3X-4x. Upon removing it I noticed how soft the bustier felt in my hands, which led me to believe it would be comfortable to wear. As always before putting it on I looked it over to be sure there were no issues in the stitching that would cause a tear or issue when I put it on and I found none. However there are two rows of bra-like hooks that run down the back of this piece, and on my particular one the third ring from the top was missing. It wasn’t in the bag, or anywhere around where I had opened the bag it came in so I suppose I’ll never know what happened to number three ring, but since it wouldn’t cause an issue with the way I wore this bustier I opted to not worry about it. The stitching is immaculate and strong, so I knew even when pulling it to adjust the fit it would hold up with no problem.

Unfortunately I was home alone when this arrived, and I’m not one to wait for help, so I had to take the route of hooking all 16 (would have been 17, but the other one was MIA) hooks and then trying to spin it around. This bustier is made from 80% polyester and 20% spandex and is super stretchy so it wasn’t that much of a chore to spin it around my body, but it certainly made me look like a fool. As soon as I had it situated on me properly I felt the itch creeping in. I tried to ignore it so I could get a good look, and luckily I noticed how odd the ruffles in the front were now that it was on. They stuck out and laid in weird ways. It didn’t matter which way I tried to put them they just didn’t seem to lay right. The next thing that had me pulling and tugging in every direction was the fit of the cups. They have underwire, but I was getting no support whatsoever. Ignoring the fit of the cups is out of the question since there are two huge bows situated at the location of the straps on each one drawing the eye right to them. With the exception of the fit of the cups it fit fine even covering my large hips without that awkward pooch that can sometimes happen in the back.

Despite my unsupported breast, raging itch on my torso, and no help with shape from the plastic boning I was still pretty cute. I decided to play around with the garters a little and of course I still had the G-string that needed trying out. I thought if I could pull it all together somehow I could find a way to love this bustier. To my surprise and relief the G-string was very comfortable, and thankfully it did not itch! So we were on the right track for something great. It was a little tricky to get my thigh highs all hooked up because there is small piece of ribbon that is sewn through the clasps of the garter making it difficult to move. There was plenty of garter measuring 9” unadjusted and 5 ½” at the smallest adjustment, however if you are not a fan of garters, they are removable as are the straps of the bustier. Finally with everything on and adjusted, the itch consumed me and any chance of love was quickly lost.

I can’t see myself wearing this often, but if that ever changes it is good to know I can throw both the bustier and the G-string in the washing machine with cold water and hang them to dry. Even if I find a way to get over the itch, I can’t wear it in public since it is see through. I’ve considered pairing it with a white tank, but I’ll still have the cups to contend with. I still want to be in love with this bustier, but with the overwhelming itch and ill-fitting cups, I don’t think I’ll ever find the love I so desperately seek.
