I do not have much red or patterned lingerie so I thought I would give this a shot to add a bit of interest to my collection. This does add a great deal of festivity to my lingerie box.



Design
The bustier is made with three fabrics. There is a red satiny fabric, a black fabric with red and pink roses and two toned green leaves and a red mesh fabric. The cups sides and back are the black fabric with roses. This is a fairly thick fabric that has the weight and feel of bathing suit fabric. The center has a gathered red satiny fabric. The gathering and bright color down the front help to hide any midsection concerns. The bottom has a red mesh fabric gathered as a frilly bottom accent. There is no boning in this bustier. The back has 17 hook and eye fasteners. There are three columns of eye fasteners to allow you to adjust the fit. The top has two red bra-type straps that are removable. The bottom has four removable garters. The garters are black with a red ribbon at the end to hide the plastic fasteners. There are three red bows that are not removable.

One is between the cups and the other two are at the bottom of each side of the middle section. The bottom features elastic sewn into the bottom. A thong is included it is more of a g-string to me. There is a triangle of fabric in the front that is connected to a y-style elastic.

Packaging
This comes packaged in a plastic sleeve with a hanger at the end. Inside you see the model wearing the bustier. The package is resealable if you want to keep your bustier in it for storage. The hanger is nice for those with more closet space than drawer space. It allows you to hang up the bustier and the plastic package keeps it clean and dust free.



Material & Care
There are two long thin tags inside the bustier. The first one has Seven til' Midnight. The second has fabric and care instructions. The bustier is made of 92% Polyester and 8% Spandex. Hand wash cold. Do not bleach. Do not iron. Line dry.

I generally order up two sizes with Seven 'til Midnight due to issues with cup size. I am particularly glad I did order up that much because of not only the cups but also the hips. I found it to be quite comfortable but if you are much beyond 38" in the hips, I would not get this.

I found the fabrics alone to be a bit too much, but together they cancel each other out to come up with a great overall look. You cannot be afraid of color as this is true to what is on the product page. The black rose material is very durable.

I am always looking for lingerie that I can wear to sleep in. This is very comfortable and can be slept in. The elastic in the bottom keeps it from riding up even when no garters are attached. The cups are very generous and will easily fit a DD or E. The only part of this bustier that is see through is the mesh trim on the bottom.

A few drawbacks are that it is not that well finished off. I found several loose threads. Where the elastic was sewn into the bottom, there is an area where more stitches were needed to secure it. The pattern hides it unless you are up close to it.
