4pc hot pants with gloves set - bra and panty set discontinued by Escante - review by HouseWench

When I first got this 4 piece set, I was a little nervous about it not fitting properly since I'm smaller. Fortunately, that wasn't much of a problem.

First, the bikini set! The fabric seems to be pleather fused to a fabric backing, so the fabric itself has little give. The strings, though, are elastic and stretch very well. Since the strings are both long and stretchy, it seems like it would be able to accommodate a wide range of sizes. There are little rhinestones dotted along edges of the cups, giving it a little sparkle.

The shorts are made of the same pleather fusion, unlined, and are cut to a very... unique shape in both the front and back. There are 3 sets of elastic strings, two at the sides (one of which also goes around your legs), and one that goes over your hips. Like the bra, there are tiny rhinestones along the straps at the sides, but not at the hip, giving you some interesting contrast. There are also none at the sides of the pleather cutouts.


And now, for the fishnets!

When it says 4 piece, it's counting the arm-warmers as a single piece. They're cut so that they hopefully reach to about elbow length, and come to a point at your wrists and hand, where there's a little loop of black elastic to go over your middle finger to keep them in place. The top is obviously intended to act as a crop top, with a racer back. Since everything is fishnet, it has an amazing amount of stretch and cling. All three pieces of fishnetting have a tag, which I felt was a little redundant.


If you were to wash these, I would recommend doing so by hand, as I'm not sure how the fusing would react to the heat of a washer or dryer, and a washer might do something strange to the netting. You can wash them by swishing them around in a sink full of lukewarm to warm water and the lingerie cleaner of your choice, doing the same in a sink full of plain water, and hanging them to dry

I'd heard of the rhinestones coming loose in transit, so I inspected mine very carefully before I tried it on. Happily, all of them seemed firmly in place, and none had come loose in the packaging. There was a spot where they trailed off and there were rhinestones on the inside of the string, though.

The bra:
I thought the darting was a little odd, ending up in a weird point over my nipples. Since the fabric is so thin, you can tell if the person wearing it has nipple piercings, which struck me as strange. I thought they would be made the way they are in most bikini sets, with the cups being adjustable in position on the string, but that wasn't the case, which I found a little disappointing. However, the way they're sewn did allow for some awesome cleavage.

The shorts:
This is where I felt the set really fell short. Because the fabric is set in its cut and size, the front panel of the shorts sort of hung loose on me, despite the elastic hugging well. The upper strings of it also weren't clinging to my hips correctly (33") and also just sort of fell loose and hung there awkwardly. It didn't take me long to put those in the category of 'nope'. From the cut, I didn't get the impression that they were something you could just push aside during sex.

The fishnets:
These fit amazingly. I've always loved fishnet and used to have a decent collection, but time stole it away. Both the top and the armwarmers fit marvellously, and clung exactly where they were supposed to. The tags were a little irritating (in that there WERE redundant tags), so I cut them off carefully. The tags are tucked between the seams of the fishnet, so you should be careful if you decide to do the same.

(This set would be fantastic if you were a stripper!).
