Everything in the Obsessive Crimessa set is semi-transparent except the trim, and the only ornament is a pair of small silver-toned hearts, one on a bra strap and one at the front of the thong. The bra is a soft triangle with sheer red mesh cups on a plain elastic underbust band. The thong matches it in the same mesh, with two thin straps meeting at the heart ring on the front panel. It is the set to choose when you want the colour to do the work and nothing else to compete with it.
What comes in the set
Two pieces, both in the same red mesh: the bra and the thong. They are sold together in one combined size and cannot be split into different sizes for top and bottom. Both arrive together in the original Obsessive box.
The bra
The cups are soft, unlined triangles of semi-transparent red mesh, edged in red binding, without foam or wires, sitting on an elastic band that runs straight under the bust. The straps are thin, adjust through sliders at the back, and one of them carries the heart ring at the point where it meets the cup. The band closes at the back with a single hook on two positions. Through the mesh the skin reads clearly, so this is a bra to be seen rather than one to disappear under clothing.
The thong
The front panel is the same sheer mesh as the cups, cut low and edged in red. Two narrow straps run down from the waistband and meet at a small silver-toned heart ring set into the panel. The back is cut as a thong, in mesh rather than a bare string, so the coverage there is a little wider than on string-back styles. The logo tag sits at the left hip.
Choosing a size
The Crimessa set is made in two paired sizes, S/M and L/XL. Because bra and thong share one size, compare bust, underbust, waist and hips against the Obsessive size chart before choosing, rather than going by dress size.
Care
Hand wash at 20 to 30 °C with a mild detergent, or in a wash bag on a delicate programme. No bleach. Press the water out, dry flat away from sun and radiators, and skip the tumble dryer.
Frequently asked questions
Are the cups see-through?
Largely yes. The cups are unlined and made from semi-transparent mesh.
Does the bra have wires or foam?
Neither. The cups are soft triangles with nothing inside them. The elastic underbust band and the adjustable straps hold the bra in place.
Can I buy the bra and thong in different sizes?
No. The set comes in one paired size for both pieces.
