Lovehoney Adore Me Lace & Microfibre Chemise Set
Over-delivers in a big way
As usual, quickly delivered in plain wrapping so no dramas.
The immediate impression is that this looks and feels even better than the pics on the website. The red is deep and rich, the lace trim is good quality and nicely attached (no loose threads) and the microfibre material is smooth, stretchy and just feels ‘good’. The whole thing looks well-made (apart from the knickers, but I always think knickers in these kinds of set look cheap and nasty).
The next step was to try it on - wow, nothing less than a transformation from happy housewife to 50’s vamp! I love the way it clings to and accentuates curves and the material is strong enough to be gently supportive. The back straps are a very nice touch - a quick bit of titivation and hey presto, no back fat.
So far so good. Another look in the mirror and hmmm, those suspenders could be improved by being a bit wider, just a bit more substantial. No problem - they’re removable. Sixty seconds later, with the suspenders replaced by wider straps with metal clips, the chemise looks perfect and very retro.
Teamed with some semi-opaque black lace-top stockings, simple sheer black knickers and a pair of pretty red suede shoes, let’s just say hubby had a VERY happy homecoming (and so did I!)
One potential improvement - add another pair of loops so the chemise can take six suspender straps. But that’s maybe an unfair criticism - this is pretty, sexy, curvaceously flattering and wild-romance-inducing!
Overall Rating: 8 out of 10 stars
Pros: Just about everything.
Cons: The knickers - why bother? - and I’d like to have six straps .
Bottom Line: Great, I love it.
