Seven 'til Midnight Lace Open Cup Harness Bra

I love the concept of open cup lingerie looks because I love showing off my breasts and having full access to them during playtime.

The Seven til Midnight Lace open Cup Harness Bra offered a bit of a different look with a rocker edge to it I thought would be fun to try.

This bra arrives in a cardboard sleeve package featuring product pictures and information... pretty standard. Inside this bra was secured around a cardboard sleeve and protected by a plastic bag.

I quickly removed this lingerie piece from the bag to try it on straight away.

The colour is true black, the adjustment hardware was a gold tone. Knowing at a 36-28 inch typical bar size and a large C / small D cup I was at the top end of the size range, I immediately adjusted all the straps to the largest setting. I found them easy to adjust and all main / back straps are elastic and adjusts easily.

The bra is a bit confusing to figure out how to get it on due to the design and back hook and eye. I just slid it over my head like a shirt and then reached behind my back to close the strap. This was not to easiest feat to accomplish as some straps were easily twisted. I also found it almost comedic to get this back off. Good thing it is intended to wear during playtime because me trying to pull it back over my head was not easy.

The lace that frames the middle and bottoms of the breasts is very pretty but has no give or stretch to it. I wish the lace did not go so far onto the sides of the body because it was borderline uncomfortable vs. the elastic straps, which are very easy to adjust on the body.

If you are a larger cup size, the side straps easily adjust around your breasts. If you are not overly perky know that the lace bra is pretty but does NOT provide any lift so your breasts would probably cover that part of the bra. There is also no underwire for anyone seeking that type of construction. I would say this would look great on small cup sizes as well as the should straps can be adjusted down. For a smaller band side the back straps can be easily tightened to fit the body snugly.

Overall this is a really sexy look and can be easily paired with any black knicker or bottom lingerie look. I love the unique straps and features of this open cup bra, but I will keep it for shorter wears as the fit is not the most comfortable to wear given the lace has no stretch and I am at the top of the size chart.

I got sent this to try and leave an honest review. Firstly it arrived on time in the usual discreet package. When I opened the box the bra was in a nice pink box that showed how it should look on the back and front. Which helps as it’s so strappy.

I managed to put it on with a bit of a struggle but my bust wouldn’t fit in properly. It’s ideal for anyone up to around a 36C. I don’t think it’s fit any bigger. But if you’re a much smaller size it sags and looks awful. So I’d say it’s for a more particular sizing. If it was a perfect fit it would have looked amazing. My OH loved the idea of it. Could definitely do with a plus size in this.

The lace made it look really pretty and the straps were easy to do after the first try. The material and lace felt nice unlike some I’ve tried on before. Just a shame it’s not a bigger size or would have looked amazing.

Now, I love me a cupless/open-cup bra (or basque, body, etcetera etcetera), because when it comes to standardised sizing in lingerie larger-chested non-plus ladies tend to have trouble finding a good fit. Underwires are even greater offenders than the cups themselves, in my personal experience, and this lacy boob harness lacks that as well. So on the surface this is right up my alley.

I like it, but it's not entirely ideal. I'll run you through it.

Packaging:

Simple and compact, it comes in a fairly small, thin cardboard box with the product itself folded over a piece of card with a plastic clip and wrapped in a cellophane sleeve. The box is not subtle. There are pictures on the outside with the model wearing the harness (as seen on this product page). Though her nipples are covered, it leaves no mystery as to what sort of contents are within.

One thing that I dislike is that there are no measurements printed on the box, or included inside.Which brings me to...

The Fit/Comfort:

I can be something of a clothing chameleon, I admit. Depending on things like material and cut, I can often wear between UK sizes 10-14 without looking either too squashed or too swamped. In bra size, I have lately been fluctuating a bit, but I am something like a 36DD or 34E. When I run into troubles with bra sizing, it is usually due to the fact that my breast tissue is very spread out over my chest and under my arms. So while this means if something is too tight or placed wrong it causes worse bulging than it may for others, when there is nothing to hold them, my breasts lay a bit low.

This is all preamble to say that this harness does a decent job of framing the 'girls'. It gives a little bit of lift- not much, but some- and a bit of shape without squeezing them mercilessly.

However, the band is rather tight even on the loosest hook, to the point of being uncomfortable if tolerable. There's very little in the way of adjustability elsewhere as well. The shoulder straps can be lengthened/shortened a bit, but the straps around the boobs cannot. They are elastic and a fairly forgiving sort at that. One can assume the reason the band is less generous is because it is made of non-elastic lace. Which, by the way, could be softer and less itchy.

All in all, it isn't great for long-term wear *unless* you enjoy a bit of discomfort and wish to use it as a bondage piece, not unlike a rope harness.

The Look/Impact:

The biggest drawback in visual terms is that the tight banding can cause some bulging under the arms and on the back. In my case it was subtle, but I would still have preferred none. As alluded to above, I found it did frame my breasts well and my SO agreed it looked nice. As I also touched upon, though really it should go without saying, it doesn't offer much support or lift, so those who hang (and are self-concious about that) would do best to look elsewhere.

Miscellaneous:

It's a little awkward to get into and out of. Being a racer-back style, it has to go over your head and because it's strappy and tight, well...

My verdict? Pretty but with a lot to be desired in fit and comfort. You'll look sexy, but you might not feel it.
