Lace and mesh bra and garter g-string set - bra and panty set discontinued by Rene Rofe - review by Lildrummrgurl7

Description
This lingerie set is very simple, including only a lace and mesh bra with a matching G-string garter belt. It comes packaged in a simple cardboard envelope that has a picture of the model on the front and the back. The lace of this set is made of 92% nylon and 8% spandex. The mesh is made of 90% nylon and 10% spandex.

The bra of this set simply ties behind the back and around the neck. The straps are really stretchy and all four ties are long. This allows for a lot of flexibility in sizing for the bra band and means that the band and straps should not cut into your skin. The cups of the bra are made up of two panels of mesh with a triangular piece of lace in the middle. In the center of the cups is a small black bow. Under the cups is a piece of mesh ruffle that hangs off the band of the bra.

The G-string and garter belt are one piece. Inside of the garter belt is a small triangular piece of lace (the front of the G-string) with a long string running from one end of the garter belt to the other. There is no crotch liner whatsoever in this set so it may not be suitable for long term wear. The top of the garter belt is lace while the lower portion is made of mesh and creates a skirt-like appearance to the garter belt. The waistband is made of the same stretchy elastic the bra ties are made out of. The adjustable garters are made of, you guessed it, the same stretchy elastic. I find the plastic clips on the garters to be really small so I have a hard time securing these garters to my stockings.

Cleaning and Storage
This material is incredibly thin and easy to snag so I would recommend only hand washing it with lingerie wash or a mild detergent. A standard washer and dryer could tear this apart in no time. After washing it, it can be laid flat to dry.

This set is small and takes up no room at all. It can easily be folded and stored in a drawer with your lingerie or your everyday underwear. It’s small and discreet so travelling with it is easy as can be. I personally keep mine in a rubbermaid tote with other small lingerie sets.

The bra of this set fits well because of how adjustable the ties are. It’s easy to adjust the band and the halter straps to get the perfect fit and support level. However, the material of the cups is not too stretchy so it will not accommodate large breasts very well. My small D cups fit well in the cups but a large D or higher will be squished or spilling out of the cups. There is also no underwire so there may not be enough support for those women with larger breasts. The garter belt was snug on my hips but it did not cut into my hips. Anyone with larger hips would not find this set comfortable. The G-string on this set really bugged me though. The string comprises most of the G-string so it is not comfortable...or hygienic for that matter. I’m thinking of cutting the G-string portion out of this garter belt and just using the garter belt by itself. For an inexpensive set, this one isn’t a bad choice but there are definitely better choices out there. I don’t usually go for sets like this but my partner likes them so I picked this set up during a lingerie clearance sale for practically nothing. I wear it every once in awhile but it’s not a staple in my lingerie collection.
