Silver ring bustier with hose - bustier discontinued by Escante - review by geliebt

Packaging

This came packed in a plastic bag, on a fairly flimsy plastic hanger. The packaging was simple and kept the piece contained during shipping. No complaints!
The bag was easy to open and I do not feel like this was overpackaged at all.

Quality

Overall, the silver ring bustier is alright in terms of quality. It's not BAD, but it feels a bit flimsy for what you pay. The material of the body of the bustier is pretty thin (example- if you hold it up to the light, you can see through it) and while this does make it comfortable and breathable to wear, it feels like it isn't very durable to me.
The stitching seems to be solid, and I didn't find any loose threads or areas that are fraying.
The zipper in back is sewn in well, also.
I don't feel that the stitching is weak or will come apart any time soon.

The stockings that come with it are thigh high, sheer black, basic little things. They may be good for one or two wears, but really they're pretty low quality and are nothing worth worrying about. Just a cheapo pair of stockings!

Fit

Overall, the sizing on this is accurate to the chart on the site, and you should have few worries ordering this piece if you fall within the stated measurements.
I took a bit of a chance getting this in a 1X size, as I normally wear anything between a medium and XL, but usually a large.

My measurements:
Bust 40"
Waist 33"
Hips 38"
38C bra
180lbs.
5'7"

I was surprised to find that this is only just a little bit baggy on me- and really only in the bust! I would say this would best fit someone a few inches larger than me in any measurement, preferably who wears a D cup.
There is plenty of stretch in the bustier, and I think it could fit someone well within what the size chart states!
It would also fit much better on someone a bit taller than me, since the straps on the chest are about two inches too long for me.

I've since decided to cannibalize this to use the material for other projects, as I'm losing even more weight and it's fitting even more poorly than before! But, I wanted to save the straps at the top to maybe add to another garment or something. When I took my seam ripper to the straps, it was HELL to get them off! This thing is REALLY well-stitched and I didn't even realize it! These seams are DEFINITELY not going anywhere anytime soon; which is great for someone who wants to keep wearing this bad boy for quite some time!
