| My nipples are about 1cm away from ruining this photo |
Now i wasn't planning on reviewing this item, i just wanted to quietly add it to my collection. But i feel like i should say something.
Motel Rocks is a decent company, they make affordable clothes and have a good relationship with lots of fashion bloggers (including one of my favourites) so i'm in no way making a general statement about the quality of the products they sell. Just the Hillary bodysuits. There are currently 5 "Hillary" bodysuits on the Motel Rocks website, being sold for £25 each and i've noticed that they've brought out different versions every season since the start of 2012, at least.
So the wisdom i'd like to impart is: Just don't buy one. Certainly not for full price and i'd even think twice if, like me, you find one for much cheaper on ebay. No matter how pretty the neckline or the print, no matter how gosh darn flattering it is on the body, it's not worth parting the cash for an item of clothing that does not actually clothe you. These bodysuits do not stay up. Not for a second. Every other photo i took wearing this was indecent. Every time i moved, even slightly, my nipples came out to pose. It won't stay up on a small bust, i can't imagine it would stay up on a fuller bust either.
What about a strapless bra underneath? Nope! Aside from the lovely, but impractical cut of the neckline making a strapless bra show, the bodysuit won't stretch over a bra and therefore won't stay up.
Tit Tape? Nope! This baby is double lined so no matter how much you tape yourself up the cups won't sit flat and the paranoia sets in as gravity works against you.
Attach straps? Yeah okay, but y'might as well buy a bodysuit with straps in the first place.
I've lusted after this particular Hillary bodysuit since 2012, ever since i virtually paired it with my high waisted denim shorts (which have since broken, don't buy from American Apparel either), and there were times when i genuinely considered paying full price when i certainly couldn't afford it.
I try not to post fully negative reviews on this blog, or at least i always try to end on a positive note but i'd hate for someone else to be this disappointed.
