Not usually being a fan of pink lingerie, I recently took the chance to invest in something a bit different for my collection after taking quite a liking to the ruffled style of the Show stopper ruffle bra set.

-Packaging

Made by Seven 'til Midnight, The show stopper bra set arrives well packaged in a stylish black and pink box which features images of the product being modelled on the front and back, showing what both the front and back of the set look like when worn. The side panels of the box are baby pink with black polka dots and give the product a cute, woman-friendly feel, making the set feel like something you would quite happily give or receive as a gift.

On the back of the packaging, the set is described as a one size mesh ruffle bra with lace trim and four tier ruffled panty.

-First Impression

Once taken out of the packaging, the first thing I noticed about the set was that it is actually a much brighter shade of pink in person than it is in the photos on the packaging and product page. Though the product pictures show a deeper and more muted shade of pink, in person it is closer to a neon shade of pink. This didn’t put me off the set but if you are fussy about what shades of pink you feel comfortable wearing its something to consider.

I do think that the colour difference definitely affects the look of the set quite a bit and gives it a very different (younger and girlier) feel. I had opted for this pink set wanting a change from my usual very Domme looking black lingerie sets and it turned out to be more of a change than expected.

-Material and Feel-

Mainly made of a nylon mesh material, the set is extremely soft to the touch and see-through in places when worn, with the cups of the bra becoming the particularly transparent in wear.

-Bra

The bra of the set is more of a bra style top than an actual bra, with very little support given it is suited to being a comfortable choice of nightwear. It has a stretchy, thin elasticated band around the chest and back and triangle cut panels of mesh material for cups with a scalloped lace trim. Between the two cups sit a simple black satin bow. From the front of the chest band hangs two inches of the pink mesh material with black trim, this covers the ribs and gives it a more flattering look than a plain triangle cut bra. The back of the band has a hook and eye closure; this has three single hooks which allow you to add just an inch of extra or less width to the band. The shoulder straps of the bra are extremely stretchy but cannot be tightened.

-Panties

As shown in the product photos on the packaging, the back of these panties is cut a little skimpier than most, when I first removed mine from the packaging I wasn’t sure if they were actually meant to be a pair of thongs instead. All around the waistband of the panties are four rows of ruffles made of the same mesh material as the bra with the same black trim, nicely matching the ruffled material which hangs from the cups of the bra.

-Experience/Wear/Sizing

In wear I found the bra to be quite comfortable but equally unsupportive as the shoulder straps are made of such a thin elasticated strap. The chest strap, though thin and stretchy, feels secure and can be adjusted if you need to add or lessen an inch. I have a 34 inch chest and judging by how much stretch it has I feel it would fit people of up to a 38 inch chest but no larger. The cups of the bra are a light mesh and become see-through when on. I have a nipple piercing and found that the nipple rings show well through the material. The lace trim on the cups of the bra can be slightly scratchy on the skin if pressed against it but the side of the lace that points away from the skin is softer than the inside material. I’m a 34D cup and found there to be enough room in these to accommodate me, I don’t think that they could comfortably fit anything larger than DD cup.

The panties when worn, sit low on the hip. Under the four tiers of ruffles is about two inches of very slightly see-through mesh material at the front. When folded flat, the front and back of the panties are exactly the same cut, the back is not exactly a thong but doesn’t have a much material for coverage. After even a few minutes of wear these panties become determined to turn themselves into a pair of thongs. If you tend to avoid thongs and wedgies when choosing lingerie you’ll want to stay clear of these for that reason.

Made of 90 percent Nylon and 10 percent Spandex, show stopper bra set is only safe to hand wash cold and shouldn’t be bleached, ironed or line dried.


Overall I’m happy I made a change of choosing Pink Lingerie with the show stopper bra set. The colouring isn’t anything like the shade shown in the product photos and even my own photos, though more accurate, still wouldn’t show up the almost neon shade of pink that they are. As a UK size 8 on bottom and a 34D on top I had no problems with the fit of the set but I would estimate that anyone two sizes larger (Top or bottom) wouldn’t have too comfortable a fit with this one size fits most set. With only a few stray threads that needed to be cut away when first removed from the packaging, the material has held up well after wear and mine has survived a cool wash in the wash machine ( though it is recommended on the labels that you only hand wash)

Carefully covering some see-through spots,
