Lovehoney Plus Size Spoil Me Satin Bustier Set Black

I bought this with a discount, hoping it would fit and not only that, look good on.

I was delighted. I ordered the biggest size because I always go up a size or two for this sort of underwear. Well, Lovehoney, you've excelled yourselves - it fits like a dream. A zip is a godsend for getting into it.

I love how it makes me feel sexy under normal clothes. This is going under my 12th Doctor costume. It covers my pet-hate - my stomach - well.

Please, please get this in white/red. I'd buy like a shot.

Having received an email asking if I would review this item, I gladly accepted. As it was a secret tester item, I waited for it to arrive then saw it up on the website. I wondered if the post man had run off with my secret package! No fear it seems there was just some delays getting testers out so the post man is let off this time and I am relieved to not have to explain to Royal Mail exactly what went missing!

Lovehoney’s satin bustier arrives in a plastic bag, no fancy packaging here, but you can see exactly what you’re getting inside. What you cannot see or know is exactly how soft this lovely satin and mesh bustier is. It feels great, when you get it out of the bag you just want to try it on.

Here comes the next problem with bustiers - the lacing. It can take awhile to re-lace it to get it to fit you properly, but I was too eager and wanted to try it on straight away, so I held my breath and hoped it would not need to be loosened. I tried it on, it was so amazingly easy, just a zip to do it up straight at the front. This really must be one of the easiest bustiers to put on.

Being a size 20-22 depending on the clothing I went for the 3X/4X. I felt there was plenty room in it. Maybe I could have used a smaller size, but this did fit well and looked great. The lace was at its tightest, but I have a 40C bust. There was enough support and coverage for my bust and it looked good.

Wearing the bustier it feels great. It pulls you in and makes you look seductive and sexy. The lace details and mesh really work well and make this bustier different in looks to most. The bustier is flexible for everyday wear, but desirable enough for that time of the night or for going out in.

You also get detachable suspender straps, which at being only 5’1 even at their shortest, they were on the long size, but that is probably down to me being short. The straps hold stockings well and comfortably without any problems.

There is also a G-string included, which sadly is the only thing that lets the set down. Maybe if it had some detail or even more material to it, then it would be wearable, but as it is, it's just a triangle of mesh material at the front then two strings, so really just a throwaway addition.

Would I recommend this bustier? Absolutely yes. Every woman deserves a bustier that is so effortless and quick to put on, which makes you feel ladylike, sexy and looks stunning while feeling soft and sensual. Possibly just think about just what size you need.

That said, Lovehoney’s awesome returns policy would definitely assist if you do end up with a bustier too big and there is nothing better then finding out you actually need a smaller size.

I was looking forward to receiving this item in exchange for an honest review. I love lingerie, and the thought of a Lovehoney own-brand collection really gets me excited.

The bustier set arrived discreetly and promptly, as per all Lovehoney orders. The packaging of the item itself was plain, just a simple clear plastic bag. This is always a shame as I love presentation boxes, even a simple black box would be nicer than nothing.

When I first got the item out of its bag, I loved how it felt. The satin is soft and sensual, as are the mesh panels on the rear of the bustier. There is lace detailing on the top bust section, and around the bottom. There are little bows on the bottom of the ‘bones’, one with the Lovehoney heart insignia. The extra details make what could be a rather plain bustier into something a little more special.

The rear corset panel is very well made, the metal eyelets are robust and the lacing means that each wearer can adjust to get a perfect fit. There are detachable suspender straps, which also add versatility to the item.

Although there is corset lacing down the back of the bustier, the easiest way to get in and out is through the zip down the front. The zip is done in such a way that it isn’t that obvious, and makes taking it off a very fast process (unlike ‘proper’ corsets). This adds a useful aspect if you and your partner enjoy a bit of stripping fun!

I should mention the obligatory G-string. Yeah, this bustier comes with one. That’s about all I’ll say on that.

When it comes to the overall fit of the bustier, it does pretty well. I am a size 18, with cup size C breasts. I have the 1X/2X. If anything, this is a little on the big side. With the corset lace done at its tightest, I fit quite happily inside. However, I have a small bust for my overall size, if you have a larger bust I think it would fit better.

What is always good to remember with a bustier, is the fact that it’s a cheat’s corset. Corsets can be a royal pain, and uncomfortable to wear for prolonged periods. Although a bustier doesn’t cinch your waist, it accentuates what you already have in a comfortable and classy way. This set does just that.

When I wear this bustier, it creates that timeless look that works so well with a set of stockings and heels, but equally as well with a full skirt for a ‘night on the town’ look. I would recommend this bustier for anyone that wants that ‘go-to’ sexy lingerie. It’s the type of item that can be worn as part of lots of different sexy outfits. With its clean lines and simple but classy details.

When my OH comes to town he’s going to be in for a real treat, that’s for sure!

I bought this after hubby requested a basque or something similar for the bedroom. I love sexy undies and had my eye on this for a while.

It arrived quickly, in the expected plain brown box, as usual. The actual bustier was in a plain polyethylene bag with the Lovehoney logo. It was easy to open and I took it straight upstairs to try it on.

I had bought the 1x/2x size, and having never bought lingerie from Lovehoney before, was hoping it would be a good fit. When I took it out of the bag it looked and felt beautiful but seemed quite light and insubstantial. I was a bit worried that it would not hold it all in! I am very busty and often have problems without some serious scaffolding! However, I pulled up the zip, which makes it so easy to put on, and it fitted beautifully. Despite how flimsy it feels, the boning makes a big difference and it managed to hold up my huge boobs!

I looked in the mirror and was overjoyed. It looks amazing on, very flattering and very sexy. It made me feel fantastic and I wore it downstairs to show hubby - he loved it. As a bonus it has detachable suspenders, with a tiny silver Lovehoney logo sewn at the top of one, so at hubby's request I put on a pair of stockings and wore for the rest of the evening. I am quite short, 5ft 2ins, but the length of the suspenders was fine once I had adjusted them. The stockings stayed put well. In fact, better than with a suspender belt, so one very happy husband.

It was very comfortable to wear, and I could see myself wearing it out under a dress for a special occasion. It was even comfortable to wear in bed, and the hubby loved the fact that he could unzip me to get at my boobs!

The back of this bustier laces up and so it is adjustable and looks very sexy from the back.

The obligatory G-string is just a flimsy piece of gauze and was too big. This is the only downside of the lingerie.

I would definitely recommend this to other larger ladies. I feel so sexy wearing it, and hubby loves the way it feels and looks. I think it is a great price for a plus size piece of lingerie, so treat yourself!

When I received the email asking if I’d like to test this Lovehoney Plus Size Spoil Me Satin Bustier Set, I jumped at the chance, despite being a bit nervous. I’ve never reviewed any type of lingerie before, so I had no idea what to look for or what to say.

I’m a plus sized girl so I know that some of the lingerie available in bigger sizes can look amazing on the models and mannequins used for display, but once it’s in front of me in my size the reality is often just an attractively coloured sack.

Not so with this. My first impressions of this basque were how very sexy it is. It’s not straight up and down and massive at all. It has a shape, with flexible bones for maximum comfort. The front panels are black satin with a zip, the back black mesh with corseting. Scalloped, black lace trims the bottom and the sweetheart neckline and little black bows top the suspenders, one of which is adorned with a very sweet, silver Lovehoney charm.

My own dress size is an 18/20 and I have a 38F bust so I often have to buy lingerie in a 22 to fit. This basque is easily adorned, the zip at the front making getting it on (and off) a cinch. Once on, the fabric feels lovely against the skin, and what’s more, it fits quite well, though it is a little loose at the hips (because of the boob issue so this was expected).

Lingerie is supposed to make you feel sexy, and this did exactly that. It’s comfortable, easy to move in and, unlike my corsets, easy to breathe in too. My OH loved the look and the smoothness of the satin, and he especially liked how the black lace at the back curved over the top of my butt. I’m very pale skinned and he loves to see me in black.

The only downside to the piece is that there is no bust support at all. Like I said, my boobs are big and heavy and I found that if I moved in certain ways in the bedroom (e.g.; moving from my front onto my knees) the fabric would end up tucked beneath them slightly, and for this reason I couldn’t ever wear it out and about under clothing. That said, I’m a bra and knickers under an outfit kind of girl, so I probably wouldn’t have even if it were boned.

A quick word on the G-string - I actually hate these things, so didn’t wear it for long. I took it off and used a pair of my own black lace knickers, but that’s my personal preference and nothing to do with the product. If you are a fan of G-strings, you’ll find the mesh one included in this set to be pretty well made.

I’d happily recommend this basque to anyone looking for decent quality, sexy lingerie at an affordable price. It fits well for a non-specific size garment, though a little more structure around the bust wouldn’t go amiss. It looks and feels sexy in the bedroom and for those women with less cumbersome boobs, it’ll make a sexy secret beneath a LBD.
