First I’ll say this: I'm not the biggest fan of the California Exotic Novelties. I guess you can say I have a thing for quality lingerie and good sex toys—California Exotic just doesn’t seem to fit into any kind of similar categories. Don’t get me wrong, I know that one failed piece of lingerie doesn’t make the entire company bad but after receiving this Halter and Thong set, I was proven 100% correct on my feelings.

I try not to be biased in my reviews but I feel a lot of individuals make the mistake of writing a review solely through their eyes; sometimes either writing the review in an outrageously good light, or a horribly bad light. I try to see the lingerie and toys I review somewhere in between. The Enchantress Halter and Thong set already has three reviews—some being very bad and some being good. I can whole-heartedly say that the Enchantress really is that mind boggling in the sense that it either fits you, or doesn’t fit you. The dramatically different reviews for this set are pretty on target this time.

The packaging of this lingerie set is generic, though it’s sleek and actually very discreet in the sense that it’s on the smaller side. The shape of the package is identical to the pictures of it here on Eden Fantasys. The box is rectangular but on the top and bottom, the thin, clear plastic that holds the set dips in to create a half-moon effect. Nothing too amazing but the good news is, the package the lingerie can actually be used to store the Enchantress! I personally just threw the package away, but in between uses you can most definitely put the halter and thong back in it and slip it into a dresser drawer or a “toy box” for later.

‘One size fits most ‘ is a sentence most people do not like reading about certain lingerie. I, for one, have never had too many pieces of lingerie that are one size fits most—so far only two, including the Enchantress. With this Halter and Thong set, please do yourself a favor and check the measurements correctly and measure yourself. In fact, never purchase something unless you do this or you will be sorely disappointed 50% of the time! I say this about measuring because of the construction of the Enchantress; with this in mind, let me talk about that right now.

This set is not adjustable in any shape or form, unless you decide to become adventurous and (only if this set is too BIG on you) sew it to make it smaller to fit your body. The way the halter top is made totally confuses me, as it would appear this set was made for a woman with bigger breasts and yet, it has no support what-so-ever and is very flimsy. On smaller women with smaller breasts, the halter top looks absolutely goofy. The proportions you’d have to have in order for this set to fit you nicely is just bizarre and has me saying, “What the hell!?”

This set didn’t fit me in two main areas: my breast area and my upper body area. The halter top sagged because the strap was so large around the back of my neck. The halter top also didn’t fit me under my breast area. It was also too loose. Did I mention already that this set was made for larger breasted women? Might I remind people? The cups of the breasts didn’t fit me at all and I’m just a 30B.

The thong was a different story. It fit me just enough for it not to come falling down, but it wasn’t enough to feel like it was tight around my hips. I couldn’t imagine wearing the thong under jeans—the thong wouldn’t even stay flat on my hips, it’d be riding up.

The entire set is made of a thin and partially see-through mesh, mixed with usual lace. The set I got was in the pink color, and boy was it pink! It’s a very saturated hot-pink color, but it’s not really that horrid. On the front of the thong it has a VERY out of place solid black flower. This, to me, made the set look cheap and I found the flower to be useless and really ugly.

In case you do want to wash this set because it collected too much dust, hand washing is definitely preferred. Use cold water and mild soap. Try to stay away from the roughness of machine washing and drying, because this set is mostly all lace—it’s delicate.

Bottom line is: Beware of sizing and do your research! The Enchantress gets one star for being less than enchanting and a total let down. Bummer.

Unfortunately, for this Enchantress, the set was less than actually enchanting. I have not used or seen the packaging that the lingerie was in in quite a few months. I attempted to give it away as some sort of a ...present? But no one else wanted it either.

Some people may actually like or even adore this halter and thong set, but unless you fit the semi-exact measurements and body type, you won't have such luck.

And yes, I still do not like it.
