LINGERIE REVIEW -
L’AGENT SIENA SOFT BRA, SUSPENDER AND BRIEF
I brought Siena on a whim alongside Lucila and I was sad to say that both sets were disappointing especially after my first purchase was Esthar a while back and I loved it. I’m not sure if blogging about Lucila will be beneficial but I will consider it as Lucila has entirely different points from Siena. I was hoping to purchase these two sets and write up something to reignite my passion for what I considered an affordable yet appealing brand but this time, I fell flat.
Siena is particularly difficult to photograph in real life because it is actually a very very dark navy laced with gold and the product photos show the set as almost a light blue. I wasn’t disappointed, if anything I prefer a darker set but this was the first time a product photo truly deceived me.
Visually Siena is very pretty in the right lights. It is fashioned out of a floral lace with the metallised fibres woven into the lace and fabric which, if you are in good lighting, can really appreciate but nine times out of ten the darkness of the set overshadows the details that have been put into the design. I think you either need a good clean natural light or a glitterball and light show to really show this off.
Siena is a really nice fit for a small bust and the satin underband and straps on the set are soft but the lace which, with the metal fibres, is quite scratchy in more tender places which overall stops the set from being comfortable. I mark very easily but my buttox and breasts were quite red and tender when worn with tighter clothing. I mean its not wholly uncomfortable but you are always semi-aware that you are wearing lingerie and if you are like me, mean you are always adjusting it in an unladylike fashion at the dinner table or at your work desk.
I really love the fit of the bra because it is encompassing and supportive and the knicker is fitted but not restricting. I purchased my standard comfortable 32B in the bra and S in the suspender and knicker. The suspender doesn’t fit as well as the S in the knicker and rides up on the waist as you move so if you do have slightly bigger or rounder hips I suggest sizing up for comfort. The bra and knicker fit really nice and snugly despite the aforementioned but it just doesn’t save the set.
I’ve always seen L’agent as an alternative option to Ann Summers. An affordable yet classy brand that you can wear alongside you dailies but add a touch of ‘oomph’. You can pick up a set from the L’agent sales for £30 or under and they always have a really wide range so I didn’t expect to see negative results on not one but two sets. I’d like to say I struck unlucky but two different fitting sets being like this? I feel like actually, I just got lucky with Esthar way back when or maybe I am being harsh and the team behind the design and build of the lingerie has changed since then? Perhaps it is me and I need to completely reconsider my styles to body shape when purchasing from L’agent? Either way I won’t be returning to them for a while because of this. Sorry L’agent but you really let me down this time.
