Design:
This outfit has a very unique feature, there are multi-colored, elastic, bands for the backside of the bandeau style skirt and top. The bands are in bright neon colors that contrast very well with the black material of the front. The colors are lime green, hot pink, electric blue, day glow orange, and lemon yellow. You may wear the top in public, but definitely not the skirt!

The bandeau top, or tube top, has 4 of the bright bands running across the back. The top and bottom edges are finished with a pink and blue elastic band. This does help to keep it in place or at the least, keep it snugged over the breasts.

The shirt has a green and yellow elastic trim at the top and bottom of the black material. There are 10 bands going across the open back and there is one vertical band in the middle that these are sewn on to, which does keep them in place. The vertical band helps to even out the spread between the lengthwise bands. It is designed to run in the area of your butt crack, and does somewhat hide it from being quite so out in the open.

Quality:
I am impressed with the quality of the elastics and material. The hems...are another thing. They are uneven, sloppy and were unraveling in various spots. I also noticed that there were a couple different colors used on some hems. It seems like when the black thread ran out mid hem, they just grabbed white thread and continued on.

This outfit is very cute for role playing as a stripper, teasing your partner and for using as a top under a fishnet or lace shirt. The quality will not hold up as long as you would expect. I am not impressed.

Material:
The black material is made of 92% Polyester and 8% Spandex. This area is very stretchy in every direction. This does allow the top to fit many different body types. The front is opaque until it has been stretched out. Then it does become a little bit see through. The more it is stretched--the more your partner is going to see.

The neon bands are 100% Elastic. They are very stretchy vertically but are tight enough, and numerous enough, to keep the garment in place. The skirt and top do stay in place as long as your breasts are not moving around too much. If you have larger ones, that is. The colors are very bright and the bands have a satin finish.

Fit:
The g-string is made for dolls...or people who love wedgies with a front teaser. The top will not accommodate 43D breasts. I had about 2" of both under and over hang and the bands on the top and bottom were digging into the breasts. I gave the top to a friend and use the skirt as a top occasionally.

The skirt fits me very well and really enhances my butt. My hubby loves the cheeky look and always shows me how happy he is when I wear this for him. I feel the skirt would stretch to fit about 4-5 more inches around. You will not be able to hide any flaws with this set!

Care & Storage:
Hand wash in cold water using a gentle detergent and air dry. I had two of the elastic bands come off the material during the wash and had to sew them back on. You can store this in a drawer or the original box. It will travel well, since it is does not take up hardly any space.

My Measurements: 43D Breast - 30" Waist - 42" Hips - 28" Inseam - 22" Thighs - 5"2" Tall & 150 Lbs.

This set has become a fairly big disappointment for me. Along with the elastic bands coming un-stitched from the material, the material has become splotchy from washing. The black fibers have either gathered or thinned out on large patches to create a very dysfunctional appearance that is cheap looking and not attractive.
