Fatale Attraction

A few weeks back, my 'One of Three' post was all about San Francisco's Dollhouse Bettie. I posted three unique pieces of lingerie from the dollhouse, and the Blush Femme Fatale Pinstripe Garter Pantie, was the eventual winner. Knowing what I know about Dollhouse Bettie, I'm positive that I would've been happy reviewing any of the three pieces. As it is, I couldn't be more happy to be reviewing the Garter Pantie.

Where to even begin? I'm pretty sure that this is one of the more comfortable well-fitting panties you could ever find. The pantie is a combination of nylon and elastic, so it has a similar feel to a quality pair of tights. Just like tights they are incredibly soft and smooth, as well as body-conforming.

The pantie is a brief-style but does not rise super high on the waist. It ends up sitting just above the hips. It is a gray color with a soft, small elastic waistband. Red pinstripes descend down the garment all the way around, except for the middle panel, where the stripes are horizontal. On either side of the horizontal panel is a pretty gray ruffle that is done in an ultra soft mesh. Finally, there are four adjustable garter straps that are connected to the pantie.

I wore the pantie with vintage black stockings. Because the stockings were 100% nylon they did not have much stretch, but the garter straps are adjustable and had more than enough extension to connect to the stockings and then adjust back to a comfortable spot. The connectors on the garter straps are hidden by gray ribbons. Looks-wise, it is very nice, but they can get in the way a bit when attempting to connect the stockings, particularly in the back. Other than that very small issue, I have no complaints whatsoever.

The garter straps can also be removed very easily allowing the garment to be worn just as a pantie. If done so, the pantie fits just like a regular brief and still looks quite nice. It's a good option, but stockings go so well with this pantie it almost doesn't seem right to wear it that way.

The fabric content breaks down as 80% nylon and 20% elastane. Again, I can't stress enough how soft smooth and comfortable this is. It's available in small, medium, and large. It costs $29.25. As with anything I ever tried from Dollhouse Bettie, it is of very good quality. If taken care of, it will last a long time. Hand washing and air drying is an absolute must. It's a versatile piece so it's well worth the money, in my opinion. It also has a matching bra so it makes a very nice set when paired with the perfect stockings.
