Black Lace and Satin Bustier with Detachable Garters and Panty Curve P172

What this set is

The Black Lace and Satin Bustier with Detachable Garters and Panty is style P172 from Curve by Fantasy Lingerie, the brand's plus-size line. It is a two-piece set: a black floral-lace bustier with satin-trimmed underwire cups and four detachable garter straps, plus a matching black lace panty. The carton is marked "Plus Size" and carries the Curve line's printed tagline, "Sexy is for every BODY". Stockings are not part of the set.

"Curve" is the name of the line rather than a size code: it is Fantasy Lingerie's plus-size range, and the style number P172 is how the maker identifies this particular bustier across its catalogue. The two pieces are cut from the same floral lace so they read as a set rather than as separates that happen to match.

The lace, the satin and the strap detail

The body of the bustier is a single black floral lace, cut so the pattern runs continuously from the bust line down over the hip. The lace is semi-sheer across the midsection and finishes in a scalloped edge at the high-cut leg line, so there is no blunt hem across the hip.

The cups are the structural part of the piece. Each one is underwired, with black satin forming the lower and outer cup and lace laid over the upper portion, giving a two-texture cup rather than a single flat panel. Above the cups sits the detail the style is named for: a narrow strap splits off each shoulder strap, crosses the upper bust and meets a slider ring, leaving an open cut-out between the strap and the cup edge. It is a deliberate bit of hardware on an otherwise soft garment.

Running down the front are slim satin-faced panels that follow the seam lines from the underbust to the hip, reading as a set of long vertical lines across the front. The panty has a smooth satin front panel finished with a flat satin bow at the centre, with lace returning across the back for full rear coverage.

The back

The back of the bustier opens into a teardrop keyhole set high between the shoulder blades, framed by the same floral lace. Below it the lace continues unbroken to the leg line. The shoulder straps are adjustable, each running through a metal slider at the back so the strap length can be set independently.

Two garter straps hang from the back of the bustier and two from the front, four in total, each with its own slider and clip. They detach completely, so the bustier can be worn as a garter piece with hosiery or stripped back to a plain bodysuit-style silhouette in a few seconds.

Fit and wearing it

Start with the straps: set each shoulder strap at the rear slider before anything else, because the strap length is what positions the split strap detail correctly across the upper bust. Set the four garter straps afterwards, from the clip end, and keep the front pair slightly shorter than the back pair so the welt of a stocking sits level.

Care

Handle it as delicate lace. Hand wash separately in cool water with a gentle detergent, unclip the garter straps first so the metal hardware cannot catch the lace in the basin, and do not wring the fabric. Reshape the cups by hand and dry flat, away from direct heat — a dryer will cook the elastic in the straps and the satin panels long before the lace gives out. Store it folded rather than hung, with the cups nested, so the underwire keeps its curve.

Who it's for

This suits an adult shopper who wants a structured lace piece rather than a soft chemise, and who likes the option of hosiery without committing to it permanently. The detachable garters make it two looks from one garment, which is a fair part of its value — you can pair it with stockings from the garters category or leave the straps off entirely. The underwire and the satin front panels give it more shape than an unlined lace bodysuit, so it reads as a considered piece rather than a novelty one. For adults 18 and over.

Good to know

This is apparel, not a medical or therapeutic garment, and it is not a shapewear or compression piece. The lace is fine-gauge and will snag on rings, watch clasps and rough nails — the usual care for lace applies here more than most, because the panels are cut large and a pull travels. Keep away from children. If you have a known sensitivity to nylon, elastane or metal hardware, check the fibre label sewn into the garment before wearing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the garter straps really removable?

Yes — all four garter straps unclip from the bustier completely. Each one attaches at the hem and has its own adjustment slider, so you can remove all four for a clean bodysuit-style line, or leave them on to hold hosiery.

Does the set come with stockings?

No. The packaging names two pieces, a bustier and a matching panty, and hosiery is not among them. You will need to supply your own stockings if you want to use the garter straps.

Is the panty a thong?

No, the panty has full rear coverage in lace. The front is a smooth satin panel finished with a flat bow at the centre, and the back is cut from the same floral lace as the bustier.

How should I wash it?

Hand wash it in cool water with a gentle detergent and dry it flat. Unclip the garter straps before washing so the hardware does not snag the lace, skip the tumble dryer entirely, and reshape the cups by hand while the piece is still damp.

How is the order packaged for delivery?

Every order ships in plain, unbranded outer packaging with no product imagery or description on the outside. The sender line and the billing descriptor are both non-descriptive, so nothing about the contents is visible in transit.
