Naughty little secret bra, garter and panty - bra and panty set discontinued by Seven 'til Midnight - review by SassySam

Basics:
This is a three piece set from Seven 'til Midnight. It comes with matching bra, panty, and garter belt, all designed with a rose and lace motif. The set comes in three sizes S, M, and L, I chose the L.

Design:
Bra:
The cut and light padding ensure some great cleavage. The clasps at the back offer three options for sizing and the straps are adjustable. The bra cups are red overlaid with black, floral lace, making a nice contrast with the red mesh sides. It's decorated in the middle with a red rose. If it fits you, this bra is good quality and I can see it lasting quite a while.





Garter Belt:
The garter belt is about what you would expect, with three closures for sizing and adjustable straps. What sets this piece apart is the black lace skirt and the cute rose decoration. These garters are longer than any other I've come across, at the longest going almost to my knee. Thankfully, at the smallest size, the garters fall exactly at mid-thigh, so they are usable (or would be if it fit) but you wouldn't be able to attach these to high stockings.






Panty:
The design of the panties makes me want to shake my head. The front is fairly normal, solid red mesh and another cute bow.



The panties also have a liner inside, which is nice for comfort and durability.



What gets me is the back. The back of the panties is the same black, floral lace from the front of the bra. When I looked at the product pictures, I thought the slit in the back was long enough to consider these panties crotchless. Apparently, I should have been paying better attention, because the slit is too short and narrow to offer any access to your naughty bits, even if you’re trying for anal stimulation. The gaping slit just looks odd to me, especially with the second rose holding it together. Here’s a gratuitous picture of my bum to illustrate my point.



It’s not that they look terrible, just weird, and weird (in this context) does not make me feel sexy.

Sizing:
I'm not especially happy with the sizing for this set. I ordered a L, which I usually fit in quite well. The bra is too small, the underwire doesn't touch my skin underneath my breasts, and there is quite a bit of spillage over the top. I think this bra would comfortably fit a B cup, which isn't my expectation of a L. On the other side, the garter belt is too loose, and even on the tightest clasp, it's not tight enough to hold up stockings. I feel like I just can't win with set. :/
The panties do fit perfectly, but I just can’t get over the awkward back.

Material and Care:
The material is a polyester and spandex mix. The tags indicate the set should be hand washed in cold water and hung to dry.

I did find a few stray threads here and there, but they were easily removed and altogether I think this set was constructed well.
