When I saw this cute pant set by Espiral, I seriously wanted it, and I figured it would be great to try a new brand. Unfortunately, they ended up being a huge disappointment for me. I wouldn't really fault the brand for that, since every woman's body is unique and mine is just not right for this outfit. I'll definitely give them another chance in the future, but this one is a thumbs down for me.

The concept of the outfit is pretty simple. It's a matching set in red and black (mine being black) that comes in sizes S-XL. I ordered the XL, which means that according to Espiral's size chart I should have a 40" bust, 31" waist and 40" hip. There are no size or weight specifications, and since I am only about an inch off of those measurements, I figured the sizing would be perfect. I was wrong, though. The top was meant for someone with smaller breasts, the pants would have worked better if my legs were longer and much slimmer, and the gap between the top and pants was unflattering. They made all of my insecurities about my body come to life. If you're thinking about purchasing the XL size, I would add that you should probably be 170 lbs. or less, have about C cup breasts, a tummy that you are comfortable showing off, thighs that are relatively slim, endless legs, and be about a size 10-12. If you're more my size (16), stay away. Stick to the other wonderful plus sized lingerie that Eden has to offer.

Sizing issues aside, this set really is cute and well made. Luckily the thong fit me pretty well, so I'll probably keep it. The top might be salvageable with other outfit pieces, such as a sexy high waisted skirt for the bedroom. The pants won't work, but maybe I can use the material for sewing or something. It's a very delicate nylon blend that resembles mesh though, so that might not work out so well. I'm very disappointed that this doesn't come in bigger sizes, but even if it did I just don't think it would be the right look for me. Oh well, at least there's plenty of other lingerie for me to lust after on Eden!
