The "wet look halter" is made of 100% polyester, but even so it has a variety of textures to it to make it tantalizing to behold. The front area is a shiny silky soft black which matches the fabric of the panties and looks almost wet due to the shine of the material. It is very soft to touch and just begs to be caressed. The side panels are made of a see-through mesh which is scrunched for texture. When worn, this side panel allows a little peek of part of your breast for a flirty teasing look. Finally, the back panel is a more matte stretchy material which allows this outfit to better fit a wider range of sizes (With that said, sizing is available. I used the size chart provided and was quite happy with the fit of my item).

The halter top zips up in the front and contains eight plastic boning rods for to help it keep its shape. I found the zipper allowed for quick dressing and undressing as I didn't have to fuss around with any lacing. At the same time, I think that lacing instead of a zipper would have looked a lot sexier and would have helped match the lacing on the panties. Also, lacing would have allowed further adjustment of size of the top. However, the zipper was perfectly functional and looked fine too. I didn't have any problem with the boning digging in and jabbing at my body (as can sometimes be the case with these types of tops) and so far they haven't popped through the seams yet (another problem I often encounter).

Along the neck line, eight little metal hooks line the seams. I really wasn't sure that these were necessary. They kind of just seemed out of place to me. I did find that the neck line plunged down to a very comfortable level- enough for some cleavage but not so low that I felt I was falling out. The halter band that goes around the neck has elastic lining to provide stretch and comfort and is lined with a subtle little flirty ruffle.

Finally, the panties. I was thrilled to see that these panties were very wearable. So often the underwear that come with these types of outfit are little more than a see-through g-string. These, however, were very tasteful yet sexy. The cut of them allowed them to cover a portion of my ass with still allowing a sexy amount to be seen. The lace up closures on either side are what really sets them apart though. I did find that it took me quite a while to get both sides perfectly laced evenly (if they're not exactly even then the fabric in the back will ride up your butt more on one side than the other...). But once adjusted, they were great. Also, you only have to do this adjusting once provided you just double knot the strings and don't untie them to take them off (you can just slip them down like regular panties).

I feel like this outfit can be worn in a variety of settings. On its own (just the top and panties) it makes for a wonderful sexy outfit for your partner to enjoy. Both of my men liked it very much! Or, with a skirt or pants put on, this could be worn out to a club! The top isn't too revealing, and it could totally be worn in public without attracting undue attention (especially if you wore a bra with it to minimize the breast peek-a-boo act the side panels provide). I also wore it to a dungeon party (both with a skirt at the beginning of the night... and then without the skirt later!). I got quite a few compliments on it and found it very comfortable to wear all night long. I even got tied up in rope while wearing this outfit and was pleasantly surprised to find out that it didn't dig in anywhere at all even with the extra pressure.

As far as care goes, this item is hand wash in cold water and hang to dry only. Take care not to snag the delicate mesh sides and lace edging around the neck. However, the stitching does seem quite durable. All of the edges are done in a tight zig-zag stitch rather than just a straight stitch, adding more strength. I did get one small snag on the "wet" fabric portion. I'm not really sure how that happened though... so just be careful. Like any outfit, it's not indestructible. If you take care of it, it should last for a decent number of wearings!

I have worn the top from this outfit many times since getting it. I still find it very comfortable and sexy. One thing I have done to switch it up a bit is take colored ribbons, and laced them back and forth through the little eyelets that are on the top of the shirt. This adds a nice splash of color that matches my other accessories that I love! I think this outfit will be in my regular rotation for many years.
