Black license to thrill bustier - bustier discontinued by Seven 'til Midnight - review by Breas

The License To Thrill Bustier by Seven ‘til Midnight is available in the colours black, and black/pink. The bustier is available in sizes S-3X/4X. I purchased the size XL in black to wear out in public as a top.

The bustier arrived in a sturdy, clear, plastic bag. The bag has a snap closure on it and is attached to a hanger. I really like using these bags for my stockings, nice panties, etc to hang in my closet. You could use the bag for storing the bustier when it’s not being worn or for other items. It’s a pretty handy bag! If you can’t find any use for it, it can be recycled.



The bag has a cardboard insert inside of it, which states the company name, colour, and has a front view and back view of a model wearing the outfit. I usually just recycle this cardboard piece. Inside of the plastic bag is the bustier and attached to the bustier with a plastic piece is the matching g-string.



The outfit is 90% nylon and 10% spandex. The material is extremely stretchy though the more you need to stretch it, the more sheer it becomes. I’ve taken measurements of the outfit laying flat, unstretched. The bustier was done up on the third row of eye closures (tightest fit). If you need additional measurements, please send me a message and I can get them for you.

G-string
Waistband unstretched: 15 inches
Waistband stretched as much as I could: 24 ½ inches
Widest part of material that covers your front area: 6 ¾ inches
Liner length: 3 inches

Bustier
Chest (armpit to armpit): 14 ¾ inches
Length (armpit to bottom of bustier): 14 ½ inches
Width of bottom of bustier: 15 inches
Length of back of bustier (down centre back): 13 inches

The bustier does up down the centre back with hook and eye closures. There are 3 rows of 18 eye closures. There is a ½ inch gap between each row. There are 9 plastic boning pieces in the bustier; 5 in the front, 2 in the back, and 1 down each side.

The mesh ruffle trim along the bottom of the bustier goes around the entire piece, while the top mesh ruffle at the front top of the buster does not go along the back. There are four rows of ruffles along both the top and the bottom of the bustier. In the centre of the chest area at the top of the bustier, there is a black ribbon bow.



There is no padding or underwire in the chest area. There are also no loops inside of the bustier for shoulder straps or garter straps to attach to.

The material of the bustier is very comfortable and I did not have any issues with skin irritation, etc. The g-string is your basic, black g-string. The bands on the g-string are very stretchy as they are elastic. The g-string has a triangle shaped liner in it. The g-string is comfortable enough to wear as an every day style g-string.



The care tag states that the outfit should be hand washed in cold water and line dried. The outfit should not be bleached or ironed.

Putting the bustier on was fairly simple. I did the bustier hook and eye closures up in the front of my body, and once they were done up, I turned the bustier around so that the hook and eye closures sat in the centre back. Since the bustier is so stretchy, this is really easy to do. The bustier inner material was very comfortable against my skin and so was the mesh ruffle against my inner arm.

The boning is super flexible so it’s not going to do any shaping for your body. If you’re looking for a piece that will shape you, look elsewhere. My nipples sat beneath the criss crossed rows to the bustier so my nipple outline was not shown. If your nipples sit elsewhere in the bustier, the outline will most likely show. If you have nipple jewellery and your nipples don’t sit beneath the criss-crossed areas, the jewellery will show though the material.

My C cup chest seemed to fit well in the chest area of this bustier, though I think that a size up from C would fit fine in the bustier as well. Below is a photo of me wearing the bustier.
