Elegant spicy Mom/Cancer bod approved
Lingerie shopping is as hard as swimsuit shopping for me. I'm 5'3", 120lbs, and got this in a Small in the black colorway. I'm a cancer survivor with a few torso scars and a little loose skin lower tummy shelf from c-section, slightly sagging breasts from breastfeeding. I was looking for something with a robe and to look a little posh but still be comfortable yet sexy. My former body loved La Perla, Felina, and other elevated brands. This fit the bill. It's softer than those goth mesh shirts, flattering, stretchy, and not clingy and not overly loose. It just drapes in a floaty way that honors my short-waisted petiteness and gives shape to my rectangle/soft inverted triangle body shape. The hemline of the nighty part ends the same way it does on the model - deliciously scandalously on my upper thighs and just under my butt that keeps it sexy playful instead of generic sleep dress. It really plays up the length of my legs. The robe is longer so it's a really good reveal in addition to giving a layered look that makes it look luxe. The mesh sheerness honors and softens my scarring without looking covered up. The bit of elastine under cups bring up the girls gently to fill it out but keep in mind I'm a sagging C/D cup, don't expect support so much as a gentle rise. But they sure don't look saggy, just soft and elegant. I had big doubts about the tiny triangle g-string since it's standard issue for most lingerie, but these have stretch and mold better to my form. I found wearing the straps high above my hips made them quite cute even though I'm only softly curved there. My loose skin shelf peeks out very very slightly on the sides and is still camouflaged by the sheer nighty. You could wear whatever sheer or lacy little undies that you feel confident in instead. I'm even considering a crotchless pair. The robe sash is a little harsh feeling but I could always buy another satin or matte silk sash on this site, maybe even in a wine or eggplant or some other moody colorway and wear matching earrings or hairvine. It's more reminiscent of a ribbon I would use for a gift and frankly I do kind of like that idea for an initial presentation to unwrap me, but to keep that posh feel I'll likely replace it eventually with a silky feeling one. Anyway, it surprisingly passed my expectations. It's not just "cute if only I...," it's giving elegant, spicy, dramatic luxe boudoir completely effortlessly. There are no faults. I felt confident and sexy immediately. Read more
