Asian persuasion - costume discontinued by DreamGirl - review by sweetiejo

The Asian Persuasion kimono style lingerie set is funny flirty, but oh so revealing. The set includes four pieces, a simple pink flowered umbrella, pink hair piece, kimono, and sash. Unfortunatley the wonderful black strappy heels and wonderful model busty body are not included in this kit. It comes in it's own plastic bag with a picture of the model in the front. The plastic is also on a small black hanger making it great for storage in a closet. The set is available in small, medium, large, and extra large. For this review I bought the

The fitting for this piece is very unique, it has a lot of potential for being very sexy and fun for many nights of roleplaying, or even as just a sexy robe. The piece fits loosely and hangs slightly, so going down a size may make it fit tighter and hug the body more. Although the medium was my correct size it hung a bit more loose then I would have preferred it to. The front of the piece doesn't close properly, as it has both a clip as well as a tie but neither helps to make it close with the overlap as shown in the picture with the model. The corset portion of the piece is a simple Velcro that can come undone very easily and is hard to tighten or loosen making it a one size either fits or it doesn't for those with smaller waists. For those with a larger waist it does have a large amount of stretch, making it easier to go larger. I found this piece to fit well on me, if I wore it closer to my hips. The other items are generic sizing umbrella and hair flower.

Construction:
Unfortunately the construction of this piece is not very well. After one wear the belt portion of this piece completely came apart the stitching ripped out of the seams shredding it, this was without even being washed or pulled on heavily. I then tested all the seams and found them to be quite weak falling apart with a light tug. The bow on the back of this piece was not sewn in and cam apart as well, but this could be replaced simply by folding it. The seams on the main piece were much stronger, and held tight even with hard pulling against them. These seams held up to washing them in the washer.

Wash and Care:
The pieces are made from polyester and spandex, this means that it is recommended to be dry cleaned only, this means that its very unlikely that many women will be able to or willing to do this. The main part I simply washed on gentle cycle, and then tumble dried in the dryer. It held up well, and didn't shrink.

The Kimono is a bit confusing it has an eyelet closure that doesn't fully work well. Both portions are sewn into the front in an akward fashion, making it hard to keep wrapped or even closed. There is also two golden ties in the front which are also awkawardly placed. The closures designs make it difficult to use either together or even seperatly with much success. I actually just left it open and used the sash to keep it folded over.

The small hairpiece is just attached with bobby pins making it hard to keep in the hair during sex and actually pulled a few strands out when it fell out. It would be cute to ear in back with a pony tail but having short hair it would only fall out.

The piece is cute, but the gold foil portion gives off a cheap look, as well as causes it to rub the skin in an awkward fashion. The piece fell apart during sex with seams ripping and pieces not holding well. The bell shape of the sleeve also makes it hard to function easily and get into the way during sex. Overall the piece would be great as a simple robe if it was made from a better fabric.
