What it is … how to wear it

The All That Glitters set is three pieces - a bra, a ruffled garter belt, and the obligatory G-string. The bra is almost suitable for everyday wear, but because it has a ribbon tie in the back instead of the more usual type of bra hooks, I would not consider it secure enough to provide support throughout the day. I'd be worried that the ties would slip enough to come undone at the worst possible time. It would probably last for an evening out, if you wanted to wear it on a date. The ruffled garter belt is best worn under a loose skirt or dress so the ruffles don't make bulges under the outerwear. As for G-strings, I have never yet found an appropriate time to wear butt-floss and don't expect that to change.

Design

The photoshopped product photos don't make it clear exactly where the "glitter" is coming from with this design. The bra cups and the top layer of the garter belt ruffle are covered in black sequins, sewn on. I've tried to get some photos to show it better, but it is difficult to catch on camera. Along the top of each cup is a fine mesh ruffle, about 3/4" in height. The ruffle is a very soft fabric and not at all itchy. The bra cups are molded, with about 1/4" thick foam. Because of this, it probably is only going to fit B-C cups, or maybe a small D. A cups will have too much space to fill, and larger girls are going to end up spilling out. The bra straps are the typical adjustable type, but the back ties shut with a ribbon instead of using bra hooks. While this has the advantage of coming off easily during foreplay, it's a pain to get tied so that it's not too tight or too loose. I will not be purchasing this style of bra again.

The garter skirt is my favourite part of this outfit. It has a narrow elastic waist band with two layers of ruffles coming down from it. The lower ruffle is longer, and is a soft lace, and the upper layer is the same sequins used on the bra. The garters are removable and attach to the elastic on the inside. Because the skirt is only held up by elastic, I would not use these with stockings that will apply too much downward pressure on the garters, in case they pulled the skirt down.

The G-string has a triangular panel made from the lace on the garter skirt and is the T-back style.

Packaging

The set comes wrapped in clear plastic.

Material & Care

90% nylon 10% spandex
Hand wash cold, line dry, do not bleach, do not iron

Due to the sequins sewn in on this piece, I would obey these instructions and hand wash only. However, the G-string has no sequins and I think could be safely laundered.

I am pear-shaped, with a rather large belly and hips compared to my bust.

My measurements:

Comfort and Wearability

Despite the sequins and ruffles, this ensemble is perfectly comfortable. It isn't terribly practical outside the bedroom, so don't expect to get everyday use out of it.

Quality

I did not find any imperfections or mismatched seams, though there were a couple of loose threads to snip.

Final Thoughts

For a fun and flirty bedroom ensemble for an affordable price, I think this piece is great. It loses a star for the ridiculous ties on the bra.
