BRAND & COLOUR:

Escante from Mexico is the designer company behind the True Bliss
chemise set.

The chemise is only available in prominently white with some pink trim in the form of large bows and ribbon lace work panels on the front. The g-string is all white.

MATERIAL:

Both pieces are created using 95% nylon and 5% Elastane – exclusive of decoration. The inside of the cups and panty liner are made using soft cotton fabric to protect our most delicate areas. Being an open mesh style lace, it allows the body to breathe and gives plenty of stretch (more horizontally than vertically) for a comfortable fit. The mesh is embroidered with what looks to me like roses and leaves. The main sections of the flowers feature embroidered (in long stitch stitching) in white glossy looking thread. Looking at it from the side gives it almost a glittery appearance.
The cups are slightly padded for those who like a little extra in the chest department while giving the breasts a nice perfect shape. Although the cups are discreet, the rest of the chemise and g-string are see through.

Unfortunately, this one was only available in S, M and the L that I went with. In this style, I prefer to go with an XL, but I had to have this right or wrong. Although it fits me now, it will fit better in a couple of months due to dieting.

All measurements below are gained by measuring across a flat garment.


G-STRING:

G-strings don't get more simple than this one. It features a triangle panel of mesh lace in the front to match the chemise. There is a tiny panty liner in the bottom point which is only stitched to the panel on two sides. It allows for a bullet or egg to be inserted, but I personally prefer the panty liners to be fully attached. The back that sits between the butt cheeks is a ¼” piece of white elastic. The same is used to create the waist band and border the front lacy panel. On the back is an over sized care tag. Not sexy with a large tag hanging off your g-string waist band.

Stretched: 24 ½”

Triangle panel:
Width at front: 5 ½”
Width is measured across the top edge.

Length:
Triangle: 6 ¼”

Meet Eve. She isn't perfect, but she makes the lingerie look sexy, which will be her job until I have lost enough to take over. Her measurements are 37", 33", 42" and she has a D cup.




CHEMISE:

The chemise features the same type of shoulder straps as the typical bra. They can adjust from 10” up to 18 ½”. The cups are lined with underwire, white padding inside and have an overlay of mesh lace. Bordering all the way around the top edge of the chemise is pink elastic. Between the cups is a large pink ribbon bow that could easily be removed. Running from the bottom of each cup to the hem is a ½” wide strip of ribbon lacing, similar to the lace up backing on adjustable corsets. Only these aren't adjustable and are on a miniature scale. At the hem of each strip is a large pink bow - also permanently removable if you don't like them. The back is two panels (seam down the centre) of the embroidered mesh lacing. Simple, yet still elegant.
Even the hem line is quite effective with two different types of soft mesh which scallop up where the bows are positioned. The top mesh layer is just a basic small holed netting at a length of 1 ½” and is gathered to the hem. Underneath this is a slightly larger holed mesh which is embroidered with small matte white spots. It has a length of 3 ½” and a rolled hem.

CLEANING ~ PACKAGING:

The over sized care tag says to hand wash only in cold water and hang to drip dry. Just like with the Sweet Bouquet, I didn't want to wait so long for my chemise to dry from hand washing. I put it in the machine with a few other pieces of similar colours and set the front loader on the hand wash cycle. The machine spins them out, so they dry a lot quicker. The chemise came out in the same condition as it went in, except for the nice fabric softener aroma! I probably wouldn't risk it in a top loader with the spinning wings down the centre unless you place them in a pillow case or lingerie bag.

As with most pieces I have bought, the True Bliss chemise arrived wrapped up in pink tissue paper. The g-string and cardboard label were attached to the chemise by two plastic tag fasteners.


EXPERIENCE:

I'm sad to report that out of four Escante lingerie pieces I bought in my order, only one was able to cater for a my DD cup. If you have very firm breasts, you may get away with wearing them, but larger breasts won't receive full coverage. If you're like me and at an age where you require more coverage for supporting a D+ cup, I'd probably look elsewhere.
I'm seriously considering altering this one to make it cupless. Even once I have lost the weight, my breasts are still not going to fit in this. It's pretty useless the way it is at the moment. I don't appreciate my breasts flopping out all over the place – even if guys are into that kind of thing.

Then again, I'll first try just cutting the padded section of the cups out to see if the lace area will stretch just that little extra to give me enough support. Either way, it will end up being a chemise to wear for private moments only. I hope to report how it goes in a follow-up.

It's absolutely stunning, but dudes, you're going to have to cater for larger busted girls if you want people to buy! It's 4 stars from me, mostly for the visual aspects of the set.
