Spiderweb tie top set - bed jacket discontinued by Leg Avenue - review by Jul!a

The packaging was the same ol', same ol' for Leg Avenue, wrapped in plastic around a piece of cardboard inside some plastic wrap inside another cardboard box. Model on the front and back, with washing instructions and 'ingredients' on the back. This set is made from 100% Nylon, and LA recommends hand washing separately and drip drying. You could also wash it on the low setting in cold water inside a pillow case or lingerie bag, but I'd still recommend letting it drip dry.

This set comes with two pieces, the top, and the shorts. The top goes on much like a button up shirt would, only instead of buttoning up, it lays over your breasts and sort of ties in the front. My first inclination was to tie it in a bow, but then I thought it would look silly, so I looked at the picture of the model and saw that it was this sort of necktie kind of deal. So I did the best I could to replicate it, and tied the two ties together like I was going to tie my shoe, then let the top tie hang down over the 'knot'. Each tie measures about 18" so you've still got some room to work with if you fill the top out better than I do. I would say that up to a perky D would be fine. If you need lots of breast support, pass this set up. The sleeves will easily fit comfortably on just about anybody, however the cap on the end of it that's about a foot long will drive most people a little crazy after a while. It'll cover the entire hand, no matter how big your hand is.

The shorts are made of the same spiderweb lace as the top, and equally as see through. One of Leg Avenue's big downfalls is that they don't have crotch liners on anything, and this one is no exception. But that just means that you shouldn't wear these for an extended period of time without a g-string or another pair of panties underneath if you're worried about discharge.

The overall construction of both pieces is pretty decent. It's not a forever set by any means, but unless you're really rough, it should last you a while. About the only complaint I have with the construction is that I have a hard time telling whether or not either piece is inside out or not.

Yes, this is a one size set. That normally means it's going to run really small, but in this case, it didn't. It's not going to fit everybody, but it will fit a wide range of women (and men if you're interested). Leg Avenue says that to comfortably wear this set you should be between a size 6-11, with a cup size of A-C, a bust of 32-38", a waist of 23-29", and 34-40" hips. I'm about 5'2, I weigh about 105, around my bust measures 31" and underneath measures about 28 1/2". I've got about a 25" waist with 33" hips and I wear a solid B cup. The top hung a bit loose on me, but since I was able to adjust it by how tight I tied it, it wasn't all that noticeable. The bottoms fit pretty comfortably as well.

For giggles, I had my fiance try the set on. He's about 42" around the hips and his only problem with the bottoms was that they weren't tall enough and he couldn't get them up where he thought they should sit, resulting in a little bit of ass cleavage, but that won't be a problem if you don't mind the cleavage. He fit into the top for the most part, meaning it did fit, but moving wasn't comfortable. His bust is about 43 1/2" around and he felt as though the seams on the sides were digging in a little bit and his movement was pretty restricted. The sleeves fit in length on his 20" arms, however they were tight around his 13 1/2" biceps. I was impressed at how well it fit him to begin with, and I say with confidence that if you fall into the sizing guidelines, it will fit you.

Store this set anywhere you store the rest of your delicates.

Ok, I was a bit disappointed with how it fit me in the bust, but I expected to be. Quite honestly, I bought this set just for the top to wear out over tank tops and t-shirts. That being said, I was very surprised with how comfortable the bottoms were, period. They don't look comfortable, and while I wouldn't want to wear them all day long, I had no problem wearing them for an hour or so. I was also really surprised that they fit my fiance, at all. He said that they didn't cut in at all, they were just too short, and when I asked if his junk felt supported at all, he said that you could tell this set wasn't meant for men to wear, and his junk was just kinda smooshed up against him.

For the top, I did wear it out once, but the cap on the end of the sleeve drove me crazy. However, since there is a seam right there, I'm planning on cutting most, if not all, of that extra lace off to make it easier to wear out and about and still be able to use my hands without excessive hand flipping motions.

I still like it, I just never really wear it. I don't like wearing the panties since they don't have a liner and I haven't felt like adding one in myself. The top has had a few runs out, but the sleeves drive me crazy so it mostly sits. However a good friend of mine is starting up a collection of lingerie, and also likes things that can multitask, so I passed this set on to her for her to wear.
