Lovehoney Pearl Faux Leather and Lace Basque Set

I love this. L.O.V.E

I love that it zips up the front, makes getting it on and off a breeze. The fabric is thick and firm and sucks my wobbly tum in, while remaining soft enough that no movement is restricted.

The lace pattern is very art deco but the soft almost leather feel of the belt is very modern. The pink colour is gorgeous and looks expensive! The cups gave me a boost but were perfectly fitted (34 DD) I wish my day to day bras were this comfort.

I cannot say how much I love this, if I could wear it all day every day I would it's absolutely stunning, the tapered line of lace is super flattering - divine!

OH said she loved this design as it was unusual. The lace detail and the contrasting colours look fantastic and the zip-up front was also a big hit with both of us!

Whilst beautiful to look at, OH did struggle with the fit a little bit. Although adjustable on the back, even on the loosest fitting she still found this a little tight, probably because the pink material doesn't have a lot of give in it. She managed to squeeze into it (almost bursting out of it!), so it's worth keeping this in mind when ordering as you may need to go up a size if you want a less snug fit but overall. We loved this piece.

We were kindly chosen by Lovehoney to review this latest basque set. As usual it arrived by Lovehoney's customary discreet packaging.

On opening the wrapper, we have a basque with a coloured central front panel with black lace edging and mesh mix to the sides, accompanied by a lace G-string. The basque itself is well made and designed with the pearl coloured front panel of a faux leather type material with underwired bust cups. This panel has a central full length zip, overlaid with patterned lace up either side. The sides going round to the back are of a black mesh and boned like most basques.

This basque features two ways of fastening, with not only the front zip but it also has a rear 3-row hook and eye full length fastening.To finish off the garment there are the usual adjustable shoulder straps, a pearl coloured waist belt (to match the front central panel) tied by a bow and there are 4 removable suspender straps.Then to complete the set, there is a black lace G-string with a nice triangular shaped and patterned front panel lowering to a cotton gusset and finishing at the rear, via a string to a small triangular patterned panel at the waist band.

So to trying it on and how is it to wear? The oh is a 36b size 12 which was ideal for this medium-sized basque. Once it was adjusted and on, she felt comfortable in it, as there is a decent amount of stretch available in the fabric. The boning is quite flexible enough that it felt comfortable and helps hold the basque shape well. The OH even liked the G-string which was also comfortable to wear, again with ample available stretch.

One thing she did comment on was the belt as she wasn't sure she liked the idea of it or not. This is attached both sides of the rear fastening and tying as a bow at the front. However, some might like it, some may not? Overall though she was quite impressed with it and liked it. And, hubby liked the front zip!
