Four way flutter set - bustier discontinued by Escante - review by Mihoshi4301

This piece of lingerie comes with the bustier top and a pair of panties.

Bustier:

Front



The bustier is a slightly off-white color. The bottom has a lace trim that floats away from the bustier a little bit. There are 2 piping seams running through the front, edged by black thread. These go from the middle of each breast, just below the lace on the bra cups to the lace trim at the bottom of the bustier. There is a third seam in the middle of the front, but this is not outlined in black thread and is not as noticable. The bottom of each bra cup is also outlined in black thread where the underwire is. The top 1/3, almost half, of the bra cup is black lace. Between the two cups is a diamond-shaped cutout of black mesh, with a tiny black bow that sits right at the top of that diamond.

Back



The back is the same off-white color as the front. The lace trim on the bottom of the bustier continues to the back, but it doesn't go in a straight line. It curves up at the back and reaches about 4 inches higher than in the front, leaving some of the back uncovered by material. The middle panel of the back is made of the same lace as the trim. It is smaller on the top half and the bottom half has a wider amount of lace that gathers and falls to the same width as the top half. A black ribbon is crisscrossed across the lace like a corset tie up starting at the bottom with the bow at the top. This could be reversed if someone wanted the bow at the bottom. The loops holding the ribbon are a strand of slightly sturdier lace than the rest of the lace, but it does not look the loops would hold up very well with rough treatment.

Straps


(Sorry for the poor picture quality)

The straps are stiff black edging with little lines of stiff thread between the two sides of each strap. Because they are very stiff, they are not very comfortable and can dig into the skin really easily. They adjust like a bra strap with a plastic slider. The adjustment sliders do not slide easily. The straps are removable.
Length: 9 inches to 17 inches

Underwear:

The bustier set comes with a pair of plain briefs. They are made of the same material and the same color as the bustier. They are full-coverage in the front and back and have black piping along the top and bottom. There is also black stitching along the bottom edge in a wavy pattern. It has a panty liner.

Sizing of Underwear

Width (across like the bustier, not all the way around): 12.5 inches unstretched to 16.5 inches stretched.
Length (from top of middle to bottom of the crotch): 6.5 inches unstretched to 8 inches stretched.

Material

The tag says that the bustier set is made of 90% nylon and 10% elastic.

Care instructions

The tag says hand wash cold water, wash separately. Use only non-chlorine bleach when needed. Do not wring or twist. Line dry. Iron low temperature if necessary.

Although this set seemed very pretty to me at first, I didn't like it nearly as much once it was on. I felt like the front stretched awkwardly across my stomach and just highlighted it, so if you have any discomfort about that area, this will just feel like it's highlighting it. The underwire in the bra was very uncomfortable and dug into the sides of my breasts. The top seams of the bustier were also itchy and just felt uncomfortable. The straps were also uncomfortable, and felt awkward because they came halfway down my chest since the top of the bustier did not start until there and because they were off to the sides almost in my armpits. Although this is a pretty set, it's too uncomfortable to feel pretty in.
