Chemise and panty set

Two Pieces, Two Words: Victorian Goddess

A truly stunning, piece of lingerie! The cameo and lace really make this piece so spectacular. My only real concern was not being able to fill the bust completely, and just not wanting to take this off! Honestly though, I feel that this is what tasteful, sexy lingerie is all about. There should be more like it!

On my hunt for elegance, I came across this pink beauty; a gorgeous cameo and lace adorned chemise, paired with a lace and ribbon lined g-string. I knew right away this was something I had to add to my collection.

The quality was initially pretty sketchy. Thin straps and sheer, thin materials can by very sexy, but also a little scary. How can you know for sure that this will hold up for more than a few seconds let alone all the vigorous activities planned for later? It doesn't exactly tell you these kinds of things in the description. I suppose you just don't know unless you give it a try. Which is precisely why I had to just hope for the best, and go for it. I just could not resist the lace and cameo! I had to have it.

Aside from my first concerns about the durability of the material, the size also had me a little worried. There is just one size available. I usually wear a medium in tops and dresses, and since this set comes in M/L, I figured I should have a pretty good shot at getting a close fit.

When the two-piece set finally arrived, I was my usual giddy self about opening the package. Once in my hands, I felt somewhat relieved about quality. I gave everything a good tug just to make sure nothing was going to just fall off (hey it happens folks). The straps, though really not much different from the stretchy hair bands I use to tie back my hair, were on well enough to satisfy my concerns. The flattened lace ribbons that attach to the straps are just kinda there. Nothing too impressive. The lace surrounded cameo is the real attraction. The tarnished ornamental frame and charm (which really does resemble stone) is presumably plastic, which is fine; It still looks charming and is somewhat heavier than you might expect.

When I tried this on I was pleased with how well it hugged my curves. It wasn't necessarily slimming, but it was fitting none the less. The nylon is a very stretchy material, so I would assume that this would fit well for many different sizes. My main concern was not being able to completely fill the bust. I was getting this "poof" where my breasts did not fill the cups of the chemise. It wasn't really a huge deal, but I would have felt more confident with a better fit.

The G-string fit fine. It was pretty stretchy so there was no digging in, but there is something about how the two strings converge into one at the back that just bothers me. It makes one side sort of twist up a bit.

As with most lingerie I seem to be buying these days, this piece must be hand washed. You won't see this in writing, but you will notice the image of a hand dipped in water on the label while every other method of washing is crossed out. This is not really too much of a concern for me, as I have not had to wear this more than a few minutes at time (I'll bet you won't either!).

To conclude things, I wanted to note that my overall opinion if the cameo chemise and g-string is rather positive. There are some minor downfalls, sure, but really, where have you seen anything similar to this outfit at a reasonable price (if you have let me know, seriously)? This piece is truly unique, classy, and 20 other deserving words I could go on with. The makers, Leg Avenue, really deserves some praise for this one. I would love to see some more like it.
Experience
Just because something doesn't fit perfect doesn't mean I am willing to give up on it. I found that I could make the bust a better fit by tying a knot in the straps, to sort of cinch up the whole chemise. I would really like to get a white laced push up bra, which I think would help with this filling issue as well as make a nice addition to this set.

Just a note: If for some reason this outfit wears out or tears beyond repair (which doesn't appear to be anytime soon), I am definitely detaching the cameo and saving it for another project. It is that worth it!

    Thanks for the review! I wish it came in a size small though.

    Spicywife,

    Yes, I agree different sizes would be great. It is really hard for someone to know for sure if this is going to fit properly. I wonder if M/L is the only size Leg Avenue makes for this piece or if this is just the only size Eden carries.

    Yeah sometimes the flimsy material can be kind of tricky... sometimes you never know with lingerie... thanks for the review!
  • Contributor: VelvetBound
    Colossus,

    It seems that even some higher end lingerie can be somewhat flimsy at times. Really though you typically won't be wearing them for long, so I try not to make a big deal out of it. It is funny though how so little can sometimes cost so much (not exactly the case here, but you know where I'm going).
