Fleur of England: 'Desert Rose' Set Review

Look: Romantic and incredibly sensual, are just two of many ways to describe the breathtaking beauty of this set. With the gorgeously soft sheen of its rosy silk effortlessly connected to delicately embroidered ivy leaf patterned motifs on sheer tulle, this set screams pure ROMANCE. When I first saw Fleur of England's Desert Rose Collection online I was immediately captured by its seemingly rose gold appearance and gorgeous detail. I knew I had to have it. But looking at it online isn’t nearly as mesmerizing as seeing this piece in person...or against my contrasting skin. Lets just say, Fleur NEVER disappoints!

Feel: Elegantly sexy is how this collection makes me feel. Besides its exquisite beauty, the luxurious textures of Fleur of England sets are like no other. Soft-to-the-touch French vintage silk, comfortable Italian tulle, and strategically placed hooks and straps immediately makes me feel as delicate, but strong and graceful as a desert rose. This set provides great support and comfort and is without a doubt a well sourced product.

Sizing/Fit: Overall, the set fits true to size. Like most balconettes, the bra works well for both shallow and rounder breast shapes. It gorgeously accommodated my tear drop shaped breast by providing a supportive and natural looking lift. While my true size is a 30G I tend to cheat a little with 32 F's and 32 DD/E's depending on the brand and fit especially being that my shape is more shallow/bottom-heavy I can get away with sizing down a bit if the cup is true to size or full coverage. So for this set I opted for a 32E being that it wasn’t available in 32F nor 30G. The Desert Rose Harness is one size fits all and extremely adjustable around the waist and has two adjustable notches behind the neck. Keep in mind the entirety of this set is VERY STRAPPY, due to this, and me not being a very skinny girl, my lil rolls were definitely appearant but I I don‘t mind the look and find it kind of sexy. How ever if you‘re not into straps accentuating your curves, I’d suggest going for just the bra and panty first.

For this set I purchased the Ouvert Brief in a small which fit well and was super stretchy. The brief is a bit full so if you're lacking in the booty area sizing down wouldn't be terrible. Lastly, I purchased the suspender belt in a medium being that I had a bit more belly fat at the time I purchased it and it fit well however I should have stayed true to size as a small would have definitely been fine.

Bra Sizes: 30D-30F, 32C-32E, 34B-E, 36A-36DD

Price: Expensive but entirely worth it. Like most extremely well made, sourced, and produced luxury items, the price of this set definitely was a pocket denter. The total price of this set was $541€ ($606 USD) Visiting the About Fleur of England page on their site gives you a better understanding of what makes their garments so luxurious. Each piece is hand-designed by Fleur herself, crafted and fitted in-house by their small team, then ethically produced in Portugal. Also, only a limited amount of each collection is produced which makes the styles exclusive. Also remember this set is made with REAL silk.

Fleur typically tends to be on the much higher/pricier end of my lingerie indulgence spectrum but I also consider it to be a super special treat or reward when I do purchase a set. Of course I am ALWAYS keeping my eye out for sales, deals, promo codes and clearance prices. You can find these on their site fleurofengland.com as well as on other sites that carry their items like Journelle and Shop Style
