LINGERIE REVIEW AGENT PROVOCATEUR STONE BIG BRIEF AND BRAI originally bypassed Stone when it first came out for the AP SS15 launch and actually didn’t fall in love with it until I started seeing it endowed on all the different bodies of my instagram lingerie community. It was only when I saw it on real people that I really sat back and thought ‘damn, this set looks utterly divine on skin’, and so when the sale came round and after more than 40 minutes of freaking out about the price did I commit. Visually Stone is breathtaking. It is a visual feast for the eyes especially on the bigger brief combination (Which I personally think suits the bra style better than the knicker) and the element of the skin and fabric marrying together is just sumptuous. The pattern on the lace is so utterly perfect in its mixture of feminine, in terms of the lace being so pretty, and provoking as the main focal point is the circular pattern that is framed on the centre of the brief. Overall this set is very empowering and when I wear suspenders with the set that are built into the brief, I do feel strong yet elegant and sexual all at the same time. I could shout to the heavens repeatedly about my visual love for this set but unfortunately the love does end there. Sadly the construction of the set does fall under my expectations. I don’t know if this is me, although from passing comments on instagram and other blogs I hold in regard I do not feel this opinion is independent to myself, but despite AP pieces being held in high regard they have a lot of sizing/fit issues. The bra on Stone bunches up in the centre which for a small bust is a major problem as it does make my breasts look a little bit unsightly so the bra requires constant maintenance to keep the fabric flush. The brief is a tight fit - I either had to go tight fit or loose fit as for some reason the sizings of 2 or 3 doesn’t quite hug my oscure hips so the smaller set I sided with does cut into my bum to a degree. It is sad because I love this set so much and it is very sorry to be thankful this was a sale purchase. Realistically I know there are many more independant brands that you don’t find these issues with for the price and when it comes to making a big splurge I will likely be going elsewhere. Agent Provocateur will always be a lingerie love affair but it seems the brand lacks reliability despite the utterly amazing designs and ideas that are gloriously put into the market with stunning ranges of colour and designs. So Stone, you have taught me so much. This set is one that captured my heart and so many others and broke it all at the same time. Trying to look on the bright side though, at least this broke heart looks beautiful, right?The set has retired now and new homages to the style are available online.http://www.agentprovocateur.com/gb_enImage by Kris Karl Photography -- source link
