Purple, Comfy, Confident
Escante really impressed me with this one. I've finally found a piece that is sexy, comfortable, fits well and has decent support for my DD breasts. It is gorgeous and functional, and versatile enough to be worn not only in the bedroom, but out on the town. Definitely a good investment for anyone who wants to feel good about themselves in a beautiful piece of lingerie.

Pros
Comfortable, fits well, sexy, good bust support, versatile
Cons
Garters not detachable
Escante's purple leopard bustier and stocking set fits in perfectly with my love of purple and comfortable, flattering lingerie. It fit well, it's soft, pretty and I felt great in it.

This was the only Escante size chart I could find that included plus sizes. So, the 1X was a little too large, but only in the slightest. Had there been an XL in this item, that is the size I would have ordered. This is the first Escante piece I've owned and I am impressed with not only the quality, but the fit. Since the sizing jumps from a L to 1X, I went with the 1X to be on the safe side. It fit just right. It was just a tad bit loose, but resulted in a nice fit that showed off my curves and didn't hug me in the wrong way.
This bustier is a 92% Nylon and 8% Elastane (a fancy name for Spandex) blend. It's a beautiful lavender color with purple and black leopard print and a flowered lace bottom. There is also an upside down triangle panel of this lace on the back of the bustier for an accent. There are 14 silver metal hook and eye closures running down the front of the garment. The four garters have a pretty purple accent ribbon on them. Even though the bustier is sheer, the leopard print comes in handy because it kind of distracts the eyes from any flaws that may be seen underneath such as rolls, etc. Regardless, I don't see now anyone can wear this and NOT feel sexy.
The cups fit me well and have a beautiful black lace on them. Thankfully this item has adjustable bra straps and an underwire, so the breast support was pretty decent. Great? Not so much, but much better than other pieces I've owned. There is an elastic band that runs across your back under the bustier for added support, but unfortunately it is not adjustable. The bra portion also has its own black hook and eye closure and I didn't even notice it until I put the garment on.
Its care instructions state to only hand wash using cold water and to wash separately from other items. Use only non chlorine bleach when needed. Do not wring or twist; line dry only and iron on low temperature when necessary.
The stockings are poor quality and have snagged and gotten a run in them by the time I tried them on for a second time to take photos for this review. There was no tag with them so I do not know exactly what they are made of. They're fine to wear maybe once with this bustier, but if you want stockings that'll last a long time, I'd say go ahead and purchase a separate pair.
The thong is made of the same material as the bustier. It is pretty, fits well and has a cotton crotch which is hygienic. Not much else to report on that front.
Here is a front and back view of me in this piece. Notice how the stockings don't seem to fit quite right. They seemed to be a bit too small considering the size of the bustier I ordered, but on the other hand, I do have pretty thick thighs.

Experience
Here is another more saucy shot of me in this lingerie. It makes me feel great. On a side note, this piece is versatile enough that it can be worn outside of the bedroom with jeans and a little sweater or jacket. The only drawback is that the garters are not detachable. I have a feeling I will be wearing this one out more often than for intimate encounters, so I just may cut the garters off.
Follow-up commentary
5 months after original review
I've only worn this bustier once since my original review, but it's still a beautiful piece that I keep on hand with the rest of my lingerie. I wore it to a concert paired with jeans and a black short-sleeved sweater (similar to the one in the photo in my review) and received many compliments! Afterwards, I used a gentle lingerie wash and hung it to dry... it cleaned up perfectly. Still a great buy, in my book.

Wonderful review! Thank you for all the pictures and details. I'm wondering if the garters not being detachable would bother me, but this is a super cute piece!
