Lovehoney Wild Blooms Black Embroidered Basque Set

I was kindly sent the Lovehoney Wild Blooms Black Embroidered Basque Set to test and review for Lovehoney. Thank you!

The set arrived packaged in the familiar clear plastic bag. Upon removing it I was excited to see the bright colours of embroidery. The basque itself is made from a silky soft mesh. The front has a cut-out design with criss-cross elastic straps. This matches with the criss-cross straps at the hips.

I was originally sent a medium size to tes,t but it was too small. So Lovehoney kindly sent me a size large to test.

For review purposes I am a size 10/12, 34C bust, and 5 feet 6” tall. I was very pleased when I tried the large size on and it was a much better fit. This basque fastens at the back with a standard 3 row hook-and-eyes, and the shoulder straps can be adjusted for a good fit around the bust.

This Basque Set exceeded my expectations as I never expected it to be so sexy and erotic. As its made from silky soft see-through mesh, your body is dressed, but still on show, and the colourful floral embroidery is beautiful. This basque set is a pleasure to wear, the silky soft mesh feels amazing next to your skin. The bra part is underwired, and it framed my breasts beautifully. I thought it looked very sexy with my nipples showing through the mesh. It also put a huge smile on my OH’s face. I really liked the way the darker panels of mesh at the sides of the basque emphasised my curves.

My favourite part of the basque was the strapping detail. It's very sexy and adds a bondage look. I felt sexy and naughty wearing it. I really loved the wider bra straps and suspender straps. It gives this basque a vintage look. The suspender straps are detachable. This is great for changing the look and adding hold-ups. The set comes with a matching G-string. It has the same beautiful embroidery.

The sizing on this basque runs small. I would recommend sizing up as the elastic around my hips was still a bit tight on me and I’m a 38” hips. The boning on this basque is plastic. Great for holding you in and giving you that perfect hourglass figure.

Overall, the Lovehoney Wild Blooms Black Embroidered Basque Set is beautiful! As always, the quality was perfect and it was well constructed. It's very flattering and sexy, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it.

I was initially drawn to this due to the gorgeous embroidery, I have several pieces of Lovehoney Lingerie and wanted something different... this certainly is that! The design is really modern and fresh.

Now, let's talk about the quality! I have no idea what it is but it looks and feels amazing. Even my boyfriend mentioned that it looked more luxurious.

The shape and fit are great, it's super flattering.

I will just note that it is underwired which I wasn't expecting but I'm really glad that it is!

I adore this lingerie! It’s super pretty, very well made, and luxurious and made me feel a million dollars!

It’s very flattering and would look great on anyone! The floral details really set this apart from other sets.

It went down really well, and I’ll definitely be wearing it again, and again, and again!

I tend not to go for basques as I've learnt they do not often flatter my 'violin hips' and I did think that straps sitting right on this problem area could be a recipe for disaster, I was however pleasantly surprised that the fit and cut of this seems to have made this as flattering as I could ever hope for. I would certainly feel confident enough to wear it someone which considering similar lingerie doesn't even get worn when there's no-one to see is a massive achievement.

It is, of course, obvious to see that the embroidery is really pretty, the colours are strong and bold, the straps give the smallest nod towards some naughty bondage and the panels provide some security of coverage for those less confident and are kind to a less than flat tummy. The straps flatter the cleavage and the panels enhance the boobs. The underwire gives just enough support for those of us with a moderate cup size but wouldn't provide much if you are more generously endowed.

It's flattering, pretty and feminine with a hint of spice.
