Lovehoney Plus Size Seduce Me Red Push-Up Basque Set

When I learnt that I would be testing a Seduce Me Basque in red I was not sure if it would work. The original collection is so elegantly sexy with smouldering class. It is feminine without screaming girly, so how would red compare?

In truth, the basque does lose a little of the glamour, however, this is still a stunning piece of lingerie, perfect for those times when you want a bolder look.

I will start with the g-string. There is very little I can say about it. Of course, it matches the basque perfectly and is mostly covered by the basque.

The basque itself is well made and comfortable to wear. The fabric is soft against the skin and the hook and eye fastenings give an adjustable size. I am a size 18/20 and the 1X fits me so I would say it is a true sizing. The cups are a good size and easily contain my size E breasts while giving them a good lift. I can relax in this basque without having to worry about falling out or that weird squashed boob look you get with the wrong size cups. The adjustable straps allow you to get the right balance of lift and comfort for you.

The plastic bones help define my shape without being toO restrictive. Like all plastic bones, they will bend quite quickly and stay in place so this is not a great piece if you intend to lose weight. However, the bones and the ribbon detailing draw the eye and accentuate my curves.

Although this is a fitted piece, it does not cling too much and so doesn't show too many lumps and bumps. The lace bottom gives you a little bit of coverage should you want to not wear any knickers without completely showing all straight away.

The detachable suspender straps are a nice touch. I do love the look of suspenders and this means I do not have to add a suspender belt or suspender knickers. However, I have more hold-ups than I do stockings so I like being able to remove the straps. Also, I am very lazy and quite often go without either in my lingerie looks, so being able to remove the straps makes it less obvious that I am lazy!

This basque is beautiful and a great addition to my lingerie collection. If you love the styling of the original Seduce Me collection but want something that makes a little bit more of a statement, this is perfect for you.

Lovehoney's sexiest lingerie now in red!

My day was made so much brighter when the postie whistled his way up to the door with the boring brown box of pure happiness. Perfectly packaged as always thanks to the wonderful staff at Lovehoney.

As soon as I opened the box and flung the packing paper across the room impatiently, I was hit by the most beautiful shade of red. The Basque is contained in a plastic bag, it is folded beautifully so there are no creases or squished moulded cups.

The quality is outstanding, the fabric feels so soft to the touch, there are no loose threads or skipped stitches. The attention to detail is fantastic. There are small perfectly crafted bows that really add a sweetness to the Basque, ribbon runs down from cups to bottom where there is a gorgeous soft, wide, highly detailed stretch lace trim. The lace is so soft and not at all itchy or scratchy like some lace can be. I could not wait to try it on.

The Basque isn't the easiest to put on if you aren't used to wearing them. The row of adjustable hook and eye fasteners that run down the back can be difficult to close but it gets easier with practice. Once on it felt amazing. The straps are wider than most lingerie so extremely comfortable and supportive. Now, I am not blessed in the boobage department but wow did it enhance them!

The moulded cups pushed my boobs up and created cleavage that I rarely have. I cannot get over just how great my boobs looked. That isn't the best part though, the best is the wonder it done to my flabby mummy tummy! My lumpy bits were held in and smoothed out to perfection. The comfortable plastic boning really sculpted my figure and the ribbons that run down the front gave the illusion of an even neater waistline. That is impressive.

The Basque has suspender straps which are removable. I don't always wear stockings so it is fantastic I can remove these well-made straps when I need to.

To complete the set there is a red matching thong with a black satin bow at the rear. Even though g strings aren't my favourite underwear it completes the set perfectly. The only flaw, in my opinion, is the label at the front of the g string, it's a little annoying but a necessity.

I was more than comfortable wearing this under my regular clothes all day. I did have to tighten my belt a little due to it slimming me down. I felt so much more confident wearing this than my usual underwear. I felt more feminine and couldn't help but smile knowing I had this stunning outfit under my jeans and band t-shirt.

I loved showing my husband this. I shouted him into the bedroom. After he closed his wide open mouth he clicked the door closed behind him saying nothing but "oh yes". I can say having sex in this is amazing. There are no bits wobbling around to make me feel less attractive. I love this!

After my husband got his breath back and found his vocabulary again I asked him his opinion.

"It's gorgeous, you're gorgeous and it's just... aye"

I totally understand why it's the Seduce Me range. Achievement unlocked!
