Sexy Mesh Bra Set Review | Abbie Investigates Real Life Wearability

Some lingerie makes its intentions clear the moment you see it.
This set is one of them.


With its straps, suspenders, and strong visual lines, it doesn’t aim to disappear or behave quietly. It asks for attention straight away — which means it needs to earn that attention once it’s worn, not just admired.


So this investigation isn’t about how it looks standing still.


It’s about one question:


What actually happens when you wear this lingerie set in real life — even briefly?

First impressions


There’s no pretending this is subtle.

This is a highly structured, visually dominant set that makes a promise immediately: this is lingerie you choose deliberately.


That isn’t a flaw. But it does set expectations.


This isn’t background lingerie, and it isn’t trying to be.

Getting it on: what the process tells you


This is not a throw-on-and-go set.


There’s an order to it:


  • bra first

  • brief next

  • suspenders adjusted carefully

  • stockings attached last

If you rush it, it shows.
If you take your time, it rewards you.


This is lingerie that expects intention. The process is part of the experience, not an inconvenience — but it does mean this isn’t something you reach for without thinking.

What Abbie wore for the test


For this investigation, I chose my trusty go-to plain black Gabriella stockings — the pair I use for this kind of outfit when the focus needs to stay firmly on the lingerie, not the hosiery.


They’re familiar, reliable, and deliberately simple. No patterns, no embellishment, no distraction. That makes it much easier to judge whether the suspenders are genuinely functional rather than decorative.


I did briefly try the set with my usual heels for a mirror check, then removed them. Heels change posture and compensate for structure, which isn’t helpful when you’re trying to understand how a set really behaves.

At home: the first real test


At home, this set was worn exactly as it is.

No outfit layered over it.
Stockings attached.
Slippers on.


I moved around the house, sat down, made tea, did ordinary things. Hoping the window cleaner wasn't due! 


This is always my starting point. If lingerie can’t cope with familiar movement in a familiar setting, it doesn’t deserve special treatment later.


The set stayed striking — but it was never forgotten. The straps are felt. The suspenders remind you they’re there. This is not lingerie that fades into the background.

Out of the house briefly


I did take this set out — but not theatrically.


I wore my normal everyday clothes over the top, a simple outer layer that didn’t fight the structure underneath, and flat shoes.


The aim wasn’t to create a look.
It was to see how the set behaves when life happens around it.


This was a short, ordinary outing to Tesco to be precise for milk and bread— Bright lights, walking, standing, moving through a public space. Nothing glamorous. That’s exactly why it’s useful.


The set held its shape, but it never disappeared. I was aware of it the entire time. Not uncomfortable, but present.


This is short-wear lingerie. Designed for a defined window, not a full, effortless day.

Evening Lingerie wear - makes more sense


I did also wear this set out in the evening, deliberately and for a short, defined window.


This wasn’t a full night out. It was an early evening drink — an hour or so — enough to feel how the set holds up when you’re seated, standing, moving, and aware of yourself in a social setting.


For this, I put the heels back on.


That matters. Heels change posture and how this kind of lingerie sits on the body. In this context, they work with the set rather than disguising it. The structure, straps, and suspenders felt intentional here, not intrusive.


An hour was enough.


Any longer and the effort would start to outweigh the reward. But for a defined evening moment, the balance made sense. This is where the set feels aligned with its purpose — not everyday, not effortless, but impactful and considered.

The hubby test


This is always a quick, honest check — not a performance.

The reaction was immediate:



  • very striking

  • clearly impressive

  • unmistakably a “wow”

But also a recognition that this is a lot of lingerie.

Admiration rather than comfort — which aligns exactly with the set’s intention.

Abbie's verdict


Impact: ★★★★★
Wearability: ★★☆☆☆
Comfort over time: ★★☆☆☆
Effort required: ★★★★☆


This is a highly structured set that prioritises visual impact over ease.


The support is firm and deliberate rather than adaptable. It suits bodies that already hold their shape well and relies on accurate sizing — there’s very little forgiveness once it’s on. The fabric, a polyester blend with stretch, holds its form and delivers the look, but it doesn’t soften with time or disappear against the skin.


At £45, what you’re paying for is design and presence, not comfort or luxury feel.


In terms of sensuality, this is a focused, contained kind of sexy. Posture changes. Movement becomes more deliberate. You’re aware of your body throughout — not in a playful way, but in a controlled, intentional one.


This isn’t lingerie you forget you’re wearing.


It’s a set you choose deliberately, wear for a defined moment, and take off with relief rather than regret.


If you want lingerie that fades into the background, this isn’t it.
If you want something that delivers impact and makes you feel very present in yourself — briefly — it does exactly what it promises.
