Naughty little secret bra, garter and panty - bra and panty set discontinued by Seven 'til Midnight - review by SMichelle

I've been on a mission to find the perfect lingerie outfit to wear for my partner on our next trip. As it'll need to be something that I can hide easily, I've been looking at bra and panty sets. Bra and panty sets are perfect; they don't take up much room in a suitcase, and they're easily hidden underneath a dress, or a robe.

In my search, this particular set stood out to me. It's red and black -- a very sexy color combination -- and it includes a garter belt! My boyfriend goes crazy for garter belts... Anyway, let's discuss the item a bit, shall we?

Basics:
The Naughty Little Secret three piece set is made by Seven 'Til Midnight. It includes a bra, panties, and a garter belt. Stockings are, unfortunately, not included. This sexy set is available in three different sizes (s, m, l), and it's only available in a red/black color combination.

The set was made in China, for those who are curious about that.

Material & Care:
All of the pieces are made out of 92% Polyester and 8% Spandex. I will go into more detail about the feel and look of each item in the individual item sections below. In short though, all of the materials are very comfortable against my skin.

It's recommended that you hand wash the entire set in cold water, and then allow it to line dry. You should not bleach or iron this set.

Sizing:
This set is available in small, medium, and large. I purchased the large.

According to the size chart, a large should fit someone with the following measurements:
Cups: C-D
Bust: 36-38"
Waist: 28-30"
Hips: 38-40"

For this set, the waist measurement is irrelevant, so don't worry much about that.

I wear a 34d bra, and have 40" hips. The bra band fits me great on the smallest possible closure option, and the cups fit me decently. The cups are not a perfect fit -- my breasts are a little too big for them, but it's comfortable, and it looks sexy. I'd say that the cups are definitely better suited to someone with a firm C cup though.

The fit of the panties is a bit small. I can technically fit into the panties, but they aren't comfortable, and they give me some major muffin top. The panties are definitely better suited for the lower end of the size chart, or even below it! If you're that concerned about the panties fitting, I recommend sizing up if you can.

The garter belt, on the other hand, does comfortably fit my hips, with plenty of room to spare. It could certainly fit larger than the size chart recommends. With my 40" hips, I am able to wear the garter belt on the smallest setting.

Here are some measurements that may help you in deciding if this set is for you. All measurements are taken with the pieces laying flat.

Panties waistband: 14" unstretched, 19" stretched
Garter belt, clasped on the smallest closure setting: 15.5" (unstretched), 21" (stretched)
Garter belt, clasped on the largest closure setting: 16" (unstretched), 24" (stretched)
Bra band: 27" (unstretched), 34" stretched
Individual cups (measurements taken across the center, and down the middle): 7 wide, 5.5" long

Now, let's discuss the individual items.

The Bra:
The bra is my favorite part of the set, despite the fact that it's not a perfect fit. It's beautiful, and it's sexy.

The bra has underwire, and it is lightly padded. The bra is cut so it goes into a deep v in the front, and the style is really does push up your breasts. I get amazing cleavage with this bra!



The bra is red with a beautiful black floral lace overlay. The lace overlay covers just the cups, and it makes the cups appear to be a deeper red than the band. The cups are not sheer, but the band is. All of the material is extremely comfortable on my skin, and it appears to be quite durable. For those concerned about stretch-ability? The band of the bra stretches, but the cups do not.

There is a little bow with a rose found right in between the cups. This little detail is not meant to be removed, but you could probably remove it with a seam ripper if you chose to do so. Personally, I like it, so I will leave it be.

The edging on the bra is scalloped, which is a truly beautiful touch. I particularly enjoy the scalloped edges on the cups, as it seems to provide a sort of frame for my breasts.

The straps of the bra are basic black. They are adjustable, but they are not removable.

The bra closes with your basic hook and eye closure system.

The Garter Belt:
The garter belt basically consists of two layers of fabric, and 4 garter straps. First, there is the red belt, and then there is the black lace, which is sewn in a way that causes it to form a little skirt. The lace on the garter belt also features a floral design. The garter belt also has a rose/bow in the center.



The garter belt is very stretchy, and very comfortable.

It could look very sexy on the right person, but I feel a bit silly in the skirted garter belt. The skirt just kind of flares out, rather than laying flat, which looks funny to me. Also, the fact that the skirt flares out means that this is going to be difficult to wear underneath dresses.

I also have a bit of a problem with the length of the garter straps. The garter straps are adjustable to a degree, but the design of the garter belt makes it so that the straps are really long, even on their shortest setting. This is because there is a a fairly large mesh triangle that extends downward from the belt by about 6" before the adjustable portion of the straps even begins! In total, the garter straps measure 11.5" long at the shortest setting, and 15.5" at the longest. To clarify, that's from where the red mesh triangle begins, to where the garter clasp ends.

Speaking of the garter clasps, they are made of plastic, so they are not extremely durable.

The garter belt has a hook and eye closure system. There are three options for the closure.

The Panties:
I wish that these panties fit me properly. They're sexy, they're high quality, and boy do I wish I could wear them without getting muffin top! Seven 'til Midnight, why can't you make them in XL?

Looking at the photo below, you can tell that the front of this pair of panties is quite basic. It's red mesh, which is see-through, with a little black bow/red rose. It's cute, but it's nothing special.



Now, let's turn the panties around...



The back of the panties consist of red mesh with a floral lace overlay. There are two roses/bows on the backside.

Oh, and hmm... is that a hole there, you say? Well now, let's take a look!



Oh yes, there are holes. Let me remind you -- the holes are NOT found on the crotch portion. Instead, they're located on the backside. Sexy, but you're going to need to remove the panties for any kind of intercourse.


See? Closed crotch with pantyliner, and yet an open ass. Strange, but surprisingly sexy!

Quality:
There were a few loose threads on the bra, but that's it.

Other Comments:
I have a feeling that only the bra will get used by me, but it's still completely worth the price!

I still adore the bra to this set, even though it doesn't fit me perfectly. The garter skirt looks ridiculous, though, and the panty never fit me properly.
