Seven til Midnight Sophia Slip & Thong

Date: (23 January 2012)

So I got this item to review after looking at the picture and I remember thinking how gorgeous it looked, but the picture really didn't show the product off properly.

Firstly I'd like to add how discreet the delivery was again, this is my second item from Sextoys.co,uk and it would seem that they never fail to protect your dignity from the postman or anyone else who may handle your post such as house mates etc so full marks on that aspect.

The product itself didn't really look like the one in the picture. Obviously we can't all look like the models used but that's not what my problem was. Although the item description does say that the side panels and matching thong are fishnet, the picture doesn't show you how see through the garment is. You can't see any flesh through the garment in the picture whereas you can see loads when you actually wear it. There is also a long label inside the thong. I couldn't find a way to remove it without possibly distroying the thong. This made the thong slightly uncomfortable to wear and wasn't exactly all that sexy to see either.

On a plus side, I'm a size 16 and the XL thong was a lovely fit AND it's stretchy so could easily fit an 18.

The length of the slip was lovely, it was long enough to cover the lumps and bumps of a larger lady without the garment itself having to stretch when wearing with stockings. It was comfortable all except for the cups. Obviously with this being a plus size I expected the cups to be massive for me as im not a big breasted lady (B cup) but this wasnt the case. My breasts sat in the cups nicely, a bigger breasted lady would have achieved the look in the image online easily. My problem was with the stitching across the cups. It made the cups an un-natural shape and created a ridge across them which from a side profile wasn't very flattering. Even when removing the padding this was visible. No amount of rubbing the cups managed to remove this ridge.

I would suggest that this item wouldnt be suitable for someone with fair skin. The brightness of the purple just didnt suit me although maybe in a softer lit room it wouldn't look so bad.

Unfortunately all of this meant that neither my partner or I were overly impressed with this set which made my man request me to take it off. It just didn't float his boat nor mine either. Alas this means this item will be destined for the back of my wardrobe where I doubt it will see light of day for a long long time.

I hate having to give it a bad review but I was slightly disapointed with what I received.
