Swirl jacquard teddy set - teddy and stockings set discontinued by Leg Avenue - review by Timaree

I don't care about your measurements or your trouble spots. This teddy set will make you look smoldering. It's flattering, allows for accessorizing, is simple and sexy. The construction is spectacular and will probably work for multiple wears, but it's still nylon and has the potential to be ruined by a single stray sharp edge. Be gentle and you've got a favorite new addition to your lingerie arsenal. Or be as rough as you want and make one crazy night of pleasure.

The most difficult part of wearing this teddy set is getting it on initially. Not that this is a daunting task, since the whole set is composed of a single unitard and two thigh-high stockings without garters. Pull the teddy out and decide which side you want to have as the front. I don't know if there's a specific right and wrong for choosing the front, it felt comfortable to me either way. The significant difference is the direction of the snaps, which clasp together at the crotch.

The teddy starts out as a tiny piece of nylon that stretches to fit your form. Slide it over your head and slip your arms through the holes. Clasp the snaps in the crotch area for a perfect snug fit. This can be awkward. I was sort of leaning over, reaching back to get a look at how I was lining up the two halves of the snap. But for as weird and unsexy as I felt closing it up, having the option to open the teddy at the crotch turned out to be enormously convenient and enjoyable later on.

Take a second to look the stockings over before sliding them on. if you want a symmetrical look, it takes a little foresight to line up the gorgeous embroidered pattern on the outside of both the legs evenly. I slid them up wrong at first and had the mildly nerve-wracking experience of having to slide them back down and up again without slicing the nylons open with my long nails. I wear a lot of hosiery, yet have a terrible habit of creating runs in them within moments. This pair, however, survived admirably. Perhaps I was particularly conscientious. Perhaps it was because I didn't wear them for all that long. Perhaps it's the quality construction: Leg Avenue tends to make products I appreciate.

In any event, I looked awesome immediately. My partner was blown away. Breast size is irrelevant for this puppy. My tiny tits looked great pressed up against the fabric. Larger breasts would probably look fantastic as well. While the teddy and stockings are technically transparent, only my thighs, arms and buttcheeks were actually bare. It was a very comfortable level of exposure: totally sexy and revealing, but comforting in case I wasn't feeling all that bodacious about my body. Someone who feels uncomfortable about their butts and thighs could even throw a pair of boy cut shorts on underneath. And to keep within the parameters of legal modesty, a bra could be worn underneath as well.

In addition to being sexy looking, it was also utilitarian. I have a terrible habit of getting cold at inopportune times. When my partner and I are first getting it on I sometimes get cold legs and want to be covered by a blanket, which may inhibit movement, kill the visual element and be stifling hot for him. But with this teddy and stockings, I was cozy warm in my torso and legs but he had free access to all the fun bits. How handy!

Still adore this. It's one of my favorites, in fact. The leggings didn't last long: I'm kind of prone to running into things, admittedly. They served their purpose but couldn't stand up to much action without becoming hopelessly torn to bits. The teddy itself, however, is holding up well to abuse and still looks hot!
