Escante Open Cup Fishnet Basque with Gloves

The Escante open cup fishnet basque has a really gorgeous design and is pleasing on the eye and beautifully elegant. My partner is a slim size 10 and it wonderfully complements her figure. The alluring gap created between the basque and knickers is very sexy, while the blend of lace and fishnet works really well.

We were sent a sample and it didn't have the gloves, but we'll buy them separately to complete the look!

From my perspective, I would say it's a great addition to our collection of naughty wear, but the comfort is obviously important, and my partner said that the boning is a little harsh over any length of time. It's not a major issue, she says, but it can dig in a little. She also confirms that it is basically worth it for the lovely job it does!

It's a lovely looking basque, and the open cup perfectly presented my partners perky breasts. It's also worth mentioning those Brazilian knickers are really cute as well, acting like a saucy curtain raised above the bum cheeks, displaying them for the spectator's viewing pleasure.

As it was a sample, there was no packaging, so I can't comments, but delivery was discreet and extremely quick. Overall, very happy to have been asked to review this gorgeous open cup basque.

I have been very lucky indeed to get an opportunity to roadtest something that is very, very different from anything in my slowly (but steadily) expanding lingerie collection - never before did I try anything open cup or anything of the “fishnet persuasion”. This gorgeous (and rather naughty) Escante set has certainly convinced me that these styles and materials are worth indulging in!

This black set comes in a fairly simple cellophane bag, with the gloves being attached to the basque via those plasticky tag ties - be careful when detaching these. While the fabric appears to be fairly sturdy, getting overly excited while wishing to slip into your new outfit straightaway might obviously ruin the set.

When it comes to the long, fishnet gloves, I have not found even the slightest imperfection - these appear to be really well made. The lovely Brazilian knickers are also flawlessly made - they sport the same fishnet design on the top while the bottom half is very stylish black lace. Compared to the open cup basque, they are actually quite “modest” - it may be actually surprising that they are not crotchless, and that they sport a solid, cotton gusset. The basque had a couple of loose threads hanging off it (easily cut off) but the seams appear to be sturdy enough. You should apparently go for the hand-wash only option but choosing a washing cycle for “delicates” is also quite okay, provided you stick to a low temperature (and I suggest you avoid washing it with any garment that sports hooks or zippers).

Being rather “generously” built (I am usually size 12/14 on the top - provided the garment is suitable for broad shoulders - and size 14/16 on the bottom), I naturally went for the Large option.

The Brazilian briefs are really soft and comfortable, and they did not even leave me with the dreaded muffin top. I would say they are likely to show off anyone’s legs and bum in a very sexy, flattering way. I truly love this pair of knickers and I honestly cannot find anything to complain about.

The basque turned out to be slightly more problematic - yeah, the fit is right, the material stretchy and the shoulder straps are fully adjustable to accommodate several sizes and a number of body shapes. My boobs are average-to-firmish D/DDs, and the underwired open cup design makes them look really pert - I guess this shape would work the best for ladies who generally go for C-DD cups. Indeed, I have to say this naughty basque is surprisingly flattering but I believe the boning may prove slightly troublesome.

On the underside of your boobs, the bone does not feel overly uncomfortable but the central bit (when the bones meet) is unyielding and kind of “hard”, and it may dig into your ribcage (or, and this is probably even less comfortable, into your breasts). When you are more or less still, the issue does not arise, but when you move about a bit, you might poke yourself in a reasonably unpleasant way (being single I cannot be sure but my gut feeling tells me that, during vigorous playtime, your partner may also inadvertently press the boning against your chest in a manner that might even spoil the fun). Other than that (and what a shame about this niggle!), the basque accentuates your curves in a very flattering way, the opaque, central part actually makes your waist look very, very good!

When I compare the resultant look to the one in the product photo, I might add that, on my front, the bottom of the basques is a bit closer to the top of the briefs, while on my back I show a bit more skin - I suppose the actual fit (and look) greatly depends on your own body shape.

The fishnet gloves have a loop that fits over your middle finger (this helps to keep them in place, and it also adds a little bit of stylish, boudoir look to this little number). I would say they are more or less a product of the “one size fits nearly everyone” variety. My arms are, I guess, very average in girth and length (I am 5’6 ½” and I have wrists that are a bit under six inches in circumference), and these ended roughly 2-3 inches below my armpits. The gloves are a very nice touch, the sheer-fishnet material semi-covering and semi-exposing your arms to add a little extra to this sexy and seductive set.

To sum things up:

The Escante Open Cup Fishnet Basque with Gloves Set looks very sexy. The saucy open cup basque accentuates your waist (and - surprise, surprise - your boobs) nicely, the fishnet and lace knickers are just magnificent (I guess they would make any bum look peachy), and the long gloves add a bit of sensual naughtiness to the whole ensemble. The general build and material quality is good but, sadly enough, the boning may prove rather troublesome - the central bit may dig into your ribs or breasts in a way that is hardly pleasant. Provided you know you can be careful when wearing this sexy little number, go and buy it - it is really gorgeous. If you think your sexy sessions might be really steamy (in an “out-of-control” way), you may prefer to choose something without boning that is likely to poke you.
