Sexy in Appearance, Not in Quality
My husband and I both love the way this looks. In fact, he even ranked this five stars - a rare occurrence! I feel sexy in this and it's comfortable to wear. Basically, this should be a five star piece. Quality control stops it from being so. There's frays all over and the seaming doesn't meet up in many places. The lace halter even has two different sized laces. It's really a shame about the quality, because this is a sexy and stunning set otherwise.

Pros
Comfortable, Sexy, Small bows, Slimming, Stretch to material will fit a range of sizes
Cons
Many quality issues, Garters not adjustable
As soon as I saw the Risky Business Cami by Seven 'till Midnight I just had to have it. The hot pink and black color combo really pops and I loved the bow detailing. The set comes with the cami and a garter skirt that has an attached thong.
PACKAGING
This cami set comes in a pink and black box. The front has a picture of a model wearing the set. The back has the same model and a photo of the back of the piece.
SIZING
You can get this in a one size fits most or a plus size version. There is currently no size chart available on what sizes the one size fits all (the size I have) should fit. The link is there but it doesn't list the brand on the page. I assume it should be listed shortly.
The cami is 22" long from the top of the halter down. It is 18.25" from where the actual front of the piece starts down. Under the bust is 12.5". The waist is 11.5". The hip is 13.25". All of these measurements are unstretched. The garter skirt is 13.5" across and 6.5" down. The thong is attached and thus has the same measurements. It has a liner that is 2" long. The garter straps are 9" in total length and are not adjustable.
I wear a size 6 dress with a few size 4's and 8's. I am 28" at the waist and 39" at the hip with 34DD/36D breasts. This set fit me nicely. There was a little room for additional sizes to fit, but it did begin to cling to me. I'm not the best at redone size charts, but I think this should go up to a size 8 for sure and possibly a size 10. Past that it would start to get overly clingy.
MATERIAL
The material is 90% nylon and 10% spandex. For only having 10% spandex, there is a good amount of stretch to the material. The entire piece aside from the lace detailing is stretchy. This means the material at both the waist and hip area will allow for a good amount of give.
The material feels like a weird combination of softness with a little bit of scratch to it when touched. When it is on it is very comfortable to wear. This is a piece that you could sleep in. Even the lace is comfortable and not itchy. While the lace is not super soft, it's also not very irritating on the skin. I didn't personally sleep in this piece because I didn't think I could handle the lace detailing overnight, but less sensitive people than me probably could.
DETAILS
This set has lots of cute little details that set it apart from other sets. The halter and cups are all done in lace. This makes them completely see through. It's not like a mesh where you can see straight through it, but you get a bit of a peek.
The lace is cut off by hot pink piping. The is centered by a small pink bow.
Down the middle of the piece is a runched up hot pink piping. There is a pink bow in the middle of the piping as well as one final bow at the end for a total of three bows. The sides of the piece are done in black with white pinstripes. The runched piping makes a runched effect overall down the center of the cami.
At the bottom of the cami, the lace detailing comes in again. The entire bottom is wrapped in the lace material.
The back of the piece is simple black with white pinstripes. It is runched down the middle. It has pink piping at the top.
The garter skirt starts off with the pink piping and a small pink bow. The material then begins with the black with white pinstripe material. There is then two layers of lace.
The thong underneath is done in the pinstripe material.
The garters are black lace with pink ribbon in between the lacing. Each garter is finished with a pink bow.
SPECIAL FEATURES
In this case, it is lack thereof. The garters are not adjustable. I thought this was worth mentioning again as it may cause an issue for some heights. They are made of plastic, not metal.

QUALITY
Here's where the problems begin. The quality on this piece is low, to say the least. There are frays abound and stitching problems all over the place. The lace at the halter top does not match up. Each piece of lace is two different sizes. Drives me nuts! The frays are large and visible from afar. The piece came with many of these out of the box and more have appeared after only wearing it twice (once was only modeling it). The seaming doesn't match up in many places. Just lots of issues in general. It's enough to be noticed by me from a distance when looking in a mirror.
CARE
You should hand wash this in cold water. You should really make sure to do this as the material seems to want to fray as it is. It should not be placed in a drier. It should be line dried. It should not be ironed or bleached.
EXPERIENCE
My very picky husband gives this piece five stars. Even with the bow detailing (which he normally hates), he thinks this looks very sexy on and just generally likes the overall look of the set. In the looks department, I would agree with him. I think this is a five star piece in terms of sex appeal. It fits nicely and hugs my curves in the sexy way, not the unflattering way. The runched middle is slimming as are the pinstripe details. The bows add a cute touch while remaining sexy. If I was rating this on looks alone, this would be a five. In fact, looks-wise this is one of my favorites.
It all starts to fall apart with the quality of the piece. As soon as I got it I noticed all the frays and weird seaming. After one use, I noticed more. After two, even more. I just can't see that this will hold up very long even with much care. It's just not a quality piece.
Then let's talk about the garters that aren't adjustable. I have a good bit of lingerie and every one of my garters adjusts. This could pose a huge problem if you're really tall or short. I'm average (5'6") so it didn't cause too much of an issue for me. I could use the fronts of the garters, but the back was a little bit snug. The fact that I couldn't adjust them bugged me.
In the end, while I really want to give this four stars because I just love the way it looks, I just wouldn't feel right about it. The quality is just too low for me to give this above a three. Now, don't get me wrong. I still really like this set and it will see a lot of use. It's just that I can't give it full marks due to the quality issues that run rampant on it.
Note that I have a bra on in these photos as the lace on the top is see through. I picked pink so you can see which areas the see through sections are.
