Seven 'til Midnight Burning Flame Underwired Red Bustier Set

This has got to be my favourite Lovehoney item so far, and considering how much I love Lovehoney, that is saying something.

I'm 5ft 3in and a size 12-14, so I'm pretty average. I ordered a large, and oh my gosh! In all honesty, I've never felt so sexy in my life. The bustier fit me just right and hugged me in all the right places.

It's a little more see-through on the sides than I was expecting, but that is not a problem at all. Even with my less than flat tummy, I felt supported, slim, and attractive. The material is soft against my skin and supportive, yet very comfortable. Holds up well too!

I wore this for my OH, teamed with a pair of red heels, and he loved it!

Definitely a must have both to spice things up in the bedroom and just to give that little confidence boost that we all need sometimes. Love it!

This came quickly, as everything does from Lovehoney, packaged in the usual discreet way.

First impressions of the bustier were it’s a really stunning red, very bright, really sexy. We had a really thorough look over it and it is really well made, no loose bits of cotton or mis-sewn seams. The lace panels and mesh all look great quality. It has a three-position hook fastening at the back, and the shoulder straps adjust too for a better fit. The cups are padded and the suspenders are detachable. It comes with a tiny G-string too which is of equal quality.

My OH is size 16-18, so we bought the xl and it fitted really well and looked great, and made her cleavage look amazing. The only downside is that the cups are not that large for a size 18 garment, but they seemed to stay where they should and looked great. The mesh sides are very stretchy and hug the figure well and have a great feel to them.

It looks great with or without stockings and can be worn either way thanks to the detachable suspenders. We think it would be fine to wear out under clothing, although we just had a fun few nights in with it. The bottom line is that it looks really sexy and is a good quality Bustier at a fair price. I would buy the matching stockings to go with it as it really finishes the look off. We will definitely be using this again and again and will be looking at other items by Seven til Midnight.

I received this bustier set as a gift from my other half at Christmas, I gave him a few to choose from as he’d have no idea where to start when buying lingerie and he decided on this one, which was the one I was secretly hoping for. Unfortunately, he has not mastered the art of gift wrapping so I received it inside a gift bag in its original packaging, which was nothing fancy. A rather large plain cellophane packet with a tag attached to the bustier. I wish he’d managed to find some wrapping paper as the packaging was underwhelming for a gift, but never mind, maybe next year!

As always, I began with the quality inspection. I’ve only tried one item from this brand before and had a fairly positive experience, so I had high hopes for this bustier. I couldn’t find anything to fault this time, it’s been put together well and stitched perfectly. I am very happy with the quality and I do feel this will last a long time with proper care. The shade of red that has been used lives up to the name, it’s definitely burning flame. I don’t own many items of lingerie that are this bright, but I absolutely love it. It has a real lust vibe going on.

I’ll start with the G-string, I usually am not too impressed with the underwear that comes with sets (unless it’s Lovehoney’s lingerie) but this G-string is actually very nice. I don’t see this as just an afterthought, it isn’t just a basic solid red G-string, it has some polka dot detailing on the gusset which I thought was nice. It fits comfortably, a little loose as expected, but wearable. It has plenty of stretch to accommodate all figures.

Moving on to the bustier, it’s absolutely gorgeous. There’s some lovely detailing on it, there’s a beautiful design within the lace, it has mesh panels with polka dot detailing matching the G-string and bow between the cups with a little rose bud. Thought has definitely gone into every last detail when it comes to this piece of lingerie and I’m very impressed. You can’t really tell all of these delightful details until you see it up close, the pictures do not do it justice.

I received this bustier in a size small which is a 6-8 and I’m usually a size 4-6, so there is plenty of room left over in this despite it not being very stretchy. I am 5ft and this bustier sits on me just above the bum, showing off the G-string and hiding a few problem areas. I’m very self-conscious about most areas of my body, but especially my stomach and I feel this bustier skims over it and provides a small slimming effect. This gives me a huge confidence boost, not only because it hides those areas, has divine detailing and is a daring shade, but because it’s highly adjustable and I can make it fit exactly how I want it. It has adjustable shoulder straps as most do, that are altered in the same way that a bra is, when these straps are altered to their full tightness, I feel supported and comfortable. Despite the tightness I require, these straps do not dig in or cause discomfort even though they are relatively thin. The suspender straps are adjustable too, as I’m quite short I have trouble finding suspender straps that fit properly and look right, even when I have fully adjusted them, but these ones aren’t too bad, a little longer than I’d like but they are usable. I have removed them for now as I quite like the way the bustier looks without them.

The rear of the bustier boasts thirteen hook and eye fastenings with three possible adjustment positions. I need these to be fully tightened but I do feel supported and comfortable when they are. I’m a 30A or small B and I feel my back size has been accommodated for nicely and there would be room for probably a 34 back size in this size easily. The cups contain padding which is great as I don’t think I’d have filled them out easily, I think they could easily fit a C cup in the small size. They also have underwiring for further support, so I think a bigger busted lady would feel very comfortable in this.

Overall, I adore this beautifully designed and well made bustier, I can’t find any major faults, only minor ones like wishing the suspenders were a tiny bit more adjustable and the cups a little less padded as I feel they squash my chest at times. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this, it looks stunning and is definitely well worth the money (he says!).
