Lovehoney Captivated Black Ruffle Cage Bra Set

I really liked the look of this set, but was dubious that, at a size 14, it might make me look a little bit like a Sunday roast. How wrong I was!

It's wonderfully constructed and soft, and surprisingly comfortable. Yes, occasionally, a nipple does escape from the strapping, but it's not necessarily a bad thing!

I was surprised just how flattering it was. I got the Large, and it fits well (this set is massively adjustable which is great if you're someone who's a different size than on the bottom). If anything, it was a little on the large side - the underwire didn't sit quite under my boob, and the mesh panel at the front of the thong was a little loose - but rather that than too tight in something like this.

It's definitely a bedroom set that's bound to drop your partner's jaw! Just add stockings for some serious seduction power.

This stunning set is just so damned hot and sexy. It looks amazing on, and despite how delicate it looks it's pretty strong.

The first time I wore it I thought that the lace might itch against my skin, but it doesn't, it's pretty comfortable to wear even for long periods of time.

The bra top can be positioned perfectly to give a glimpse of nipple through the upper gap in the lace, just to tease your man a little.

The bra is fully adjustable. There are three elasticated straps across the back which adjust to give a great fit, and the shoulder straps seem to give quite good lift and support. I'm a size 32F and this bra held my girls up quite nicely.

The three straps up the front of each cup have little supports in them, so this helps to keep your boobs in place and they're very comfortable, no digging in.

And the suspender brief is perfect. I love how it hides all those little bits around the middle that us ladies hate. You're gonna feel like a million dollars wearing this set, ladies.

The briefs have two adjustable elasticated straps across the top of the back, and the suspender straps are all fully adjustable for length and are also removable. I also liked the fact that the suspender straps fitted me. I'm 5' 3" and usually I end up having to get the sewing kit out to shorten suspenders.

The briefs are see-through at the front, and this makes them super sexy when worn, they're not crotchless, which I think is quite nice and they're easily pulled to one side anyway, as this is so sexy that you won't want to take it off anyway.

I've washed this by hand and it drip dries pretty quickly.

I love this set, it feels and looks amazingly sexy, it's quality as you would expect being Lovehoney's own brand.

And for the ladies out there who want to look amazing and hide the bits that they hate, like tummies, then this is totally perfect, you will love this set.

Wow, so I'll start with me: 5'1ish size, 10-12 36c cup.

I hate my mummy tummy and need a bit of help to keep my boobs looking perky.

Wowsers this does all that and then some! The bra is easily adjusted, back and shoulders, and clung to my curves instead of digging in and giving me a whole new set of lumps and bumps! I found the best way to get my breasts to sit on the caging rather than be squished was to lean forward, then position the underwire before standing up. The ruffles soften a very... commanding look, and really made me feel pretty AND powerful!

The bottoms are STUNNING on. They made my mummy tummy totally disappear, along with my love handles, and gave me a waist!! A WAIST!

The suspender straps are tricky to get off (if you desire), but this also means the stay in place really well.

It does take a little time to get into, the ruffles and straps do get twisted (I'm being super picky), but once in place the effect as a whole is GLORIOUS!

We were kindly selected to test and review this bra set and it arrived as usual in discreet packaging. It is a black polyamide/spandex made bra and pants set, decorated with 25mm wide black ruffled lace. The bra is of longline design with the underwired cups made of a spaced structure of 10mm vertical strips with two ruffled lace bands horizontally. The front is finished off below the cups, by further vertical strips with a further two horizontal ruffled bands. Bra adjustment is by the two adjustable and stretchable shoulder straps and at the rear by three adjustable horizontal fastening backstraps, all 10 mm wide.

The panties are of similar structure with vertical strips and a central mesh, decorated by two horizontal ruffled lace strips. A further ruffled lace strip finishes off around the legs, then forming the edge of a thong back, with a soft lined gusset. The panties are then finished off with two horizontal adjustable fasteners and four removable suspender straps, for one's choice of stockings.

Wearing... well once on and adjusted all round, the wife found it quite sexy to wear... She is a 36C size 12. There is plenty of stretch available, with most of the ruffled lace being centrally elasticated and the fasteners having some stretch. One of the things that really excited the wife was the amount of her body being revealed and that also her nipples were able to sit nicely and through the bra. This is the first such bra set she has had and somehow I don't think it will be the last ! She felt comfortable and super sexily confident in it.

It is recommended that you launder this set by a Cold Hand Wash. She has now done this and we are off out tonight, but the question is, what does she wear over it ? Will it be a shear or lace black top... Or, even one of her jackets, with a button or two open ? Ooh, I can't wait!

I feel in love with this set as soon as I saw it pop up on Lovehoney's new in section. I just had to have it.

Unfortunately, this beautiful piece was just not right for me.

The bra top was very fiddly to put on and I gave up trying the first time, on the second attempt I gave the tried and true 'put it on backwards and spin it around' technique, then matched it with some plain black stockings.

It felt very comfortable on and well made enough to stand up to my fussing trying to put it on, but as I turned to look in the mirror it became very apparent that perhaps I needed a bigger sized set.

I'm a little on the short side and not ashamed to say a little chubby in places and unfortunately, this piece does not work to those strengths as I looked like a strung up salami. The high waited knickers were almost touching the bottom of the bra straps and bits of me were squishing out of the gaps all over.

I had a good laugh, went and showed the SO, he also laughed, then we removed the silly item to carry on with our evening.

I really wanted this set to work for me, but it was just not the one.
