The Snake Bustier set is a nice addition to your lingerie collection. The material is sexy and soft with enough give to make the fit perfect for many different body types. The boning is plastic and will bend and buckle with a lot of wear. The cups have under wires and light padding and will not fit larger breasts correctly. If these were more open and had a less rigid sized cup, this would be a perfect bustier for us larger women. The shoulder straps would not stay on the bust, they kept falling off and getting caught in the back of the material. The metal clasps used to secure the straps in the loops were too thin to stay in place.

The material is wickedly sexy with a snakeskin appearance that was shimmery and vaguely see through. The back is a nice see through stretchy nylon material. This allows for a great fit and will accommodate different body types. The shimmer and pattern reminds me of a black mamba.

The garter straps are adjustable for the height of your legs and are not detachable. There is a bit of a half circle in the front of the bustier that does lower when the garters are attached to the stockings.

The stockings are very cheap, had runs in them when I got them and have an obvious and unsexy seam in the toe area. I threw these away and am going to use some of the quality ones I already own. I would not trust the thigh highs to last one night. The toe seam was very uncomfortable in heels!! I do not wear thongs, but these looked like a good quality pair and had a cotton crotch.

I put the bustier on and wore a nice cashmere half jacket over it and paired it with a nice pair of black jeans. My husband's eyes about popped out of his head when he saw my outfit, and that was before he realized what was still in hiding. Once we got home and got ready for bed, he figured out really quick that the night was not over, as a matter of fact it had just begun!

If you decide to wear this while having sex, the boning will bend and poke and you will look very funny. Not a problem if you like doggy style, but a big problem for most positions. Just take care and when you rearrange your bodies, remove the black mamba outfit and get busy.

The boning is too flimsy and has permanent bends from sitting down. The snake appliques are starting to look pretty ragged and i have had to cut loose strings. This is a great very occasional piece, but for me who likes to wear my lingerie all the time, this is not a good option. I don't regret buying this but sure wished it lasted as long as some of my other ones.
