When I first saw the Sinner’s Paradise lingerie set, I thought it looked like something I’d enjoy wearing. I don’t consider myself to be a devilish sinner or anything, though I do like to dress up. Overall, the presentation of the set online is quite a bit different from what you actually get.

I was kind of surprised to see that this set is see-through. I understand that it is mesh, but I was kind of expecting it to look like it does on the model, which is a nice opaque color. I was planning on using this set for a strip tease, which there is no point in trying, since he can see everything underneath. The fabric is a soft mesh that is 100% nylon. It is pretty see-through when it is not stretched at all, and gets much more see-through the more it is stretched.

The mini dress piece is pretty simple. It ties around the back of the neck like a halter, with ruffles running down both straps for about 8 inches. The rest of the tie measures 13 inches, giving a total of 21 inches in the strap lengths. The ruffles run down the outside of the bust, as well, so it ends just under the armpit. The bottom of the bust has elastic, however the top has none. I found the elastic underneath the bust a bit more annoying than useful, since it did not support me in any way. The top being just what looks like a strip of plastic sewn between the mesh doesn’t help. It kind of pushed my already tiny, flat boobs even further down. Essentially, my chest either looked like a man’s, or like my boobs were down at my waist. Not flattering at all. The fabric also seemed to barely cover much of my chest. It was definitely much lower cut than any bra I have ever worn. I don’t have one, but a strapless bra MAY be useful under this, especially for those who need some support.

The front of the dress has a nice ruched kind of style, which I found helped hide my stomach a little bit, since it has a decent roll of extra skin hanging around. The bottom of the dress also has some ruffles and elastic, which is actually useful here. I measured this out to be about 23 inches. At most, the length stretches to 25 or 26 inches. Around the elastic under the bust, this measures 25 inches around and can stretch up to a maximum of 35 inches. Women with a band size larger than 34 may not be able to comfortably fit into this. The bottom of the mini-dress measures 32 inches around when not stretched, and 52 inches when stretched to its maximum. The bottom definitely has a good amount of stretch, which is good since this thing can ride around a lot. The tail is pretty cute, though also pretty annoying. It has a strip of wire sewn inside a tube of mesh, so it bends. It comes completely folded up in the packaging, so it is a pain to get looking nice and not all scraggly and weird. Mine still kind of looks like a cat tail that got shut in the door a lot. The tail measures about 23 inches from the base to the tip. The tail does not feel like it is very sturdily held on, though, so you would have to be very gentle with it when wearing or washing the dress.

The thong is pretty basic. It is made of the same mesh as the mini-dress, so it is also see-through. It can stretch from 27 inches around to 46 inches around. The tag is in the back, so it’s pretty irritating unless it is cut out. I personally opted to wear some boyshorts with the dress so that I could at least have SOMETHING hidden.

The headband is pretty cute, though difficult to keep on. It ties around the back of the head under the hair, like maybe a scarf. I kept finding mine on my forehead, though, because lying against the pillows pushed it forward. The horns also do not stand up on their own, which could be solved by ironing them. They feel like they have some sort of thicker material in them, though it does nothing to hold them up. I’d put them between some towels or something to keep from burning the fabric. The top band of the head piece measures 10 1/2 inches long, while each tie measures 16 inches long.

*continued in experience*

The package lists the weights for this to be 90-160 lbs. I am 145 lbs. and this felt like it fit pretty comfortably. It was a bit short, and would go anywhere from a few inches down my thighs up to my butt depending on how I was moving and whether or not I pulled it back down. I am 5’8” tall and found this laid at least some of the time about where the model in the picture has it down to.

The packaging for this is ok, though since you don’t want to suffer with fixing the tail constantly, it is useless for storing. It lists manufacturer information and cleaning information. The mini-dress and headband should be hand washed, though the thong may be ok in a lingerie bag in the washing machine. I doubt the dress would last even the gentlest cycle, due to the tail. The set should be hung to drip dry. I keep my dress hung up in the closet, and the thong and headband are in my underwear drawer.

Overall, this dress is not the greatest. The tail having wire in it really ruins it, since it gets all funky from being folded in the packaging. I would have preferred a roll of fabric under the mesh, with another heart-shaped piece of thicker fabric in the tail, so that it could swing around and lay flat when it needs to. It being see-through isn’t too awesome. I should expect that, since it is mesh, though I think it would look so much better if it was an opaque fabric. As it is, some people may not be comfortable wearing it out to a Halloween party or something. The lack of chest support sucks, too. And the headband could be a better quality plastic band with fabric wrapped over it and two horns stuck on top. Truly, the only things I really liked was the color, the ruche to the material in the front, and the ruffles.

I wish I could wear this more, but I doubt that is going to happen unless I get implants or something. This outfit really just shows that my boobs are flat from weight loss, rather than making them look better in any sort of way. If I could find a red strapless bra, I suppose I could wear it with matching panties under this set.
