I wanted to love this set, I really did. But with the non-supportive bra, uncomfortable and stretch-resistant material, and too-small skirt, it just wasn't meant to be. For a $45 product, I expected a lot more from this. Unfortunately, unless you really love the itchy sheer material, it won't be worth it.
This set looks adorable on the model featured on the product page but unless you have a body just like hers, it might not look so cute on you. For a more expensive set, I found this to be rather cheaply made and useless for those with bigger breasts or butts, unfortunately.
The bra isn't bad for my use, but those with bigger breasts may like to note that the material is completely sheer (almost mesh). The bra does have under-wire, which does provide some support, but absolutely no shaping.
It closes with two hook-and-eye closures, and has decent stretch to the band as to not cause discomfort. The material of the cups, however, can be quite itchy and uncomfortable during wear. I do like the look of this bra, as the coloring and lace is very cute. I just wish it provided a bit more support for the price.
The thong is made of the same material but did not cause the itching problem the bra seemed to have--thank goodness! It has a very small reinforced lining, however. The band is stretchy and comfortable, but this just isn't what I would call a high-quality thong.
I was most interested in the skirt aspect of this set, which is unfortunately very disappointing. First of all, it is definitely a slip as opposed to a cincher, as the plastic boning and nylon-mesh material will do next to nothing to cinch your waist. In my case, the skirt did not even fit appropriately. While the waist has stretch to it, the actual material has none, making it very unflattering as the size ran small.
The tag says the set is made is Mexico and is machine-wash safe on the gentle cycle, though I recommend you hand-wash it due to the sheerness and construction. You can store it in a drawer or on a hanger if you prefer, as the skirt has hanger-loops.
Overall, I am very disappointed in the quality of this set, as cute as it appears. If you have a small build and enjoy cutesy lingerie, this might work for you. Otherwise, I would highly recommend you give this one a pass.
Follow-up commentaryI still don't like it2 months after original review
I never wear this anymore due to sizing issues and poor quality. The bra, the one thing I did wear, broke open and the wire pokes me in the ribs. Sorry to say, this product was a complete let-down for me.
