Overview

The Satin Bra Set with Mesh Accents by Fantasy Lingerie is a two-piece set which comes with an adorable bra and thong. This set is offered in pale pink with black accents and trimming.

Material and Texture

When you read a tag that states "100% polyester excluding detail, you may ask yourself, "Why does it say Satin Bra Set if it's polyester?" According to Wikipedia.com, satin is “a weave that typically has a glossy surface and a dull back. It is a warp-dominated weaving technique that forms a minimum number of interlacing in a fabric.” So this fabric is woven polyester.

The pink portion of the bra is polyester that feels soft and delicate, while the black detail is lace. This does not include the centerpiece at the middle of the bosom, which I would wager is made out of vinyl. As for the thong, the tag says 100% polyester but there is a sliver of cotton lining along the crotch. While the cotton is not prominent, it should help make the thong last longer, as it will be easier to get rid of bacteria and other germs when washing.

The polyester that makes up these two pieces is silky soft. It makes me feel as if my breasts are being caressed rather than held in place. I suppose that soft feeling of being caressed is the satin weaving at work. While I love this fabric, the thong can still be uncomfortable for several reasons. The thong has this black lining with a looping design along the crotch that is bothersome. While everything else about the material makes me feel that this is a great piece, the lining feels rough and cheap, which only fueled my dislike for the thong.

Design and Workmanship

Bra: This bra is gorgeous! Not only does the material feel lovely against my skin but the design is awesome. There is a detail about this bra that the product page forgets to mention. So let me be the first to tell you, this nifty little bra has front and back openings. As in there is a clamp in the back of the bra and the front portion is only held together by the laced-up middle. Furthermore for those of us that enjoy the extra support, this little pink beauty does have underwire and adjustable, non-removable straps. As for the light padding mentioned on the product page, it measure 2.5 inches down the middle of each bra cup.






The downside to this set is that it lacks solid workmanship. As you can see from the pictures provided the bra padding is not sewn on very neatly. This leaves little pink portions showing where there should only be black padding. Same goes for the thong below. If you look closely you can see a black dot where the thread was knotted. But given the price of this garment and the fact that nothing is falling apart, it's not too much to worry about.





Thong Now this thong is a prime example of "a picture tells a thousand words." The model wearing this is telling two stories, the first of which relates to the products design. When looking at the product picture, I got the impression that this thong had a bit of a skirt look going in the front. Well that was not the case. This is a plain, flat thong. Albeit if you ignore the cheap crotch lining, this thong is still soft and lacy with a cute little bow in the middle. So if you don't have your heart set on the skirt look, it's not completely hopeless.





Packaging and Cleaning

On the Fantasy Lingerie website this line of lingerie is referred to as The Pink Box Collection. Once you receive your package it becomes abundantly clear why. This two piece set is housed in a compact pink box which features a front and back picture of the model. The back features various details including where the product was made (China), the material, what color it comes in, and the sizes available. This package opens from the sides rather than the top and can be used as storage if you choose.

Along with the all the miscellaneous details previously mentioned, there are cleaning instructions on the back of the box. Don't listen to them. For some reason the cleaning instructions on the box don't match those located on the bra and thong's tags. I would put more stock in the directions on the garment which recommend washing this in warm water on the gentle cycle, then tumble-drying on low.

Sizing

This Satin Bra set is available in S/M & M/L. Below I have provided Fantasy Lingerie's sizing chart for this collection of garments. My measurements are 110lbs, size 5/6 pants, 34C bra, 28 inch waist, and 38 inch hips. So I chose the S/M set. If you are interested in the bra this fits me comfortably enough, but I would not recommend risking it for those of you with a larger chest. Anyone who is a C cup with a larger band size can probably wear this bra comfortably as there are two more adjustments available when I wear it.

Pink Box Sizing Chart *Taken from The Fantasy Lingerie Website

S/M: 90-140lbs, Bust 32-34, Cup A-B, Waist 24-28, Hips 34-38, Dress 2-6

M/L: 130-160lbs, Bust 34-38, Cup B-C, Waist 28-32, Hips 38-40, Dress 6-10

Now if you're interested in the thong I would be cautious. Remember when I said, a picture is worth a thousand words. Look closely at the model's picture. Notice anything about the thong she's wearing? Yup. That's right. She has camel toe. Let me tell you, that was not an anomaly. If you want this thong, I strongly recommend you lean toward the smaller side of these measurements. The thong's elasticity measures lying flat and unstretched, 12 inches, and 17 inches stretched. You do not want to go over these measurements. In my case, the sides bite into my skin and the crotch area is super uncomfortable.

Likes and Dislikes

What I loved

I have a great love for any bra that has a front opening. Recently I lost my favorite bra which opened in the front. I don't quite know what happened to it, but my money is on accidentally leaving it at the laundry mat. Now one of my all-time favorite bras is probably in the hands of whomever picked it up, which is both sad and disturbing for me. You can imagine after my loss that receiving Fantasy Lingerie's Satin Bra Set in the mail, and realizing it had such detail absolutely made my day. I would say the bra itself is worth the price. Not only do I feel sexy but it's also so soft and feminine with it's lovely design and delicate material. How could I not adore this? Although I will add that this is by no means an everyday bra, this piece is made specifically for bedroom activities.




What I Wasn't So Fond Of By now I'm pretty sure you get that I hate this thong. It has a cheap black lining at the crotch, bites into my skin, and is just all-around uncomfortable. I feel like this will fit a girl with slimmer hips well and she will probably enjoy the detailed lace and soft material. Unfortunately I have hips, and this is not a thong I will be putting on again anytime soon. In fact I will probably get rid of it.
