With the current sale season still ongoing I’ve only just got round to photographing the two items I bought on Black Friday, one of which I ended up returning. The first was this Lazareva Lingerie skirt. It was a brand I’ve been following a while on Instagram but not seen it on anyone I follow and their Etsy shop had only one review, so their 25% off sale felt like the right time to take the plunge! Shipping was just over 2 weeks from Russia to the UK, though I think it took about five days to dispatch. I chose the XS and it fits my W25H35, with wiggle room as the back fasteners are adjustable. I liked that this item is a roll on suspender shape without the suspenders as I frequently wear skirts dresses without hosiery underneath, so I can still wear a three piece set!
My second Black Friday purchase was the Von Follies by Dita Von Teese ‘Her Sexcellency’ overwire bra! Overwires are a shape I’ve been intrigued by for a while and this Dita one seems to be everywhere, however some bad reviews from some ladies on here had me on the fence and against better judgement I thought the sale on Glamuse could justify the trial. Unfortunately the feedback I’d been given was accurate and this bra has had to be returned back to Glamuse. The size is the main issue, as a 30B I ordered my normal sister size of 32A and, while the band is fine, the cups are far too large (they’d fit up to a C cup)! As far as the negative feedback on comfort goes I can’t review as I’ve not worn it for an extended period but it was fine trying on at home. I did hold on to it for a week considering the potential of padding it out, such as with a bullet bra, as it really is a gorgeous piece but realistically I know I wouldn’t bother as I prefer a bra I can throw on with no thought needed!
