Sorbet Velour Lounge Suit
by Carysb Very.co.uk is an online retailer which offers many, many, different concessions; Sorbet is one of those concessions, which sell comfortable lounge/sleepwear via the website. For Xmas I received a Sorbet velour lounge suit. Not being a fan of velour (and definitely not being one to wear it out of the house), I was surprised by ... how comfortable it was to wear. The suit compromises of a hooded zip top and elasticated waist bottoms, however I will review each item individually for the purposes of the review. The suit I have is in beige, both the top and the bottoms are a matching colour, but due to the nature of velour, if it's pushed in the wrong direction this can create different natural shades of the colour, so it is handy to smooth down the material in a single direction if deciding to wear out. *~*The Hooded Zip Top*~* The material is 80% cotton and 20% polyester; it is relatively thin on the top, with a thicker section of material supporting the zip which runs straight up the middle of the front section from bottom to top. Either side of the zip is a pocket. The pocket is sectioned off by the zip and is stitched on with obvious seams for design purposes. The stitching is in-line with that of the rest of the garment and blends in well. The thread used is matching beige; however the craftsmanship is shoddy with loose threads on the end of every end stitch where it has been tied off. As a result, the top of the pockets appear to have started to unstitch themselves on one side, and on the other the loose thread sit on the inside of the zip track which can get caught on the zip. Bizarrely, the stitching on the rest of the top is done well, it is tied off well and there are no loose threads. It is almost as if the pockets were any after-thought. The soft material is offset with an elasticated band around the bottom of the top and the cuffs of the sleeves. The thicker and slightly ribbed elasticated band allows the top to be pulled down with comfort and stops it riding up. The hood is quite large and would fit most head sizes. That said I cannot recall ever using it. It has a tie which runs across the base of it with a pull tie on either side allowing the wearer to adjust the hood to personal preference. This is not made of velour, just cotton. Overall I would say that the top is designed to sit close to the body. It would fit awkwardly should you wear a bulky jumper beneath it. It also is not long enough to cover a longer fitting top worn beneath it, so would be most suitable to be being worn over a t-shirt or fitted top which can be tucked in. *~*The Bottoms*~* The bottoms start with an elasticated waistband identical to that on the bottom and cuffs of the top. Other than the hem of the trousers there is no additional stitching and no pockets. The seams down either leg are flawless and unlikely to break or create holes. The hem on the base of each leg sits approximately ¾ of an inch above the base of the material. This is handy if worn with no shoes or low shoes as it means the hem won't break or get caught when walking around. The trousers are straight leg and between 8 and 9 inches wide at the ankle. The width makes the trousers comfortable and not at all tight. However, the thin material might not be the warmest if worn outside. Also if you have a curvier derriere than you may find a visible panty-line on display as there is no additional material to pad it out. The length of these bottoms is 29inches. Having tested the size options on the Very.co.uk website, it does not appear that the length changes regardless of the size and there is no option for a longer/short length. *~*Overall*~* This lounge suit is most definitely best worn for lounging around. I haven't worn mine a lot but when I was doing my ironing this week I noticed some slight damage across the left breast of the jacket and also on one of the legs. It looked like the material was pushed in the wrong direction, but I couldn't make it look right. The suit is machine washable and wrinkle free which means the velour does not require ironing unless you want to smooth it all in the right direction. I have looked at various reviews of this product and many of them say "true to size". I'm not sure I would agree. Mine is size 10 but I am an 8 and I don't think a true size 10 would find this suit as comfortable as I do. It fits me really well, both in length and across the chest when zipped up. The only other disadvantage is that as a set you have to buy the same size on top and bottom, so if you have a big bum and small boobs or vice versa you may not be that comfortable. I would only recommend this as indoor wear. The suit is currently available is Dark Grey Marl or Royal Blue. Mine must have been from the last season catalogue. The RRP is £30.00 but it is currently on offer at £24.00. Read the complete review |

Sorbet Striped Jersey Long Pants
by xxfoxyredxx I love soft and warm pj's and even some daytimes when its cold and I have nothing to do and no visitors visiiting I will wear them...I own loads of nightwear believe me lol! These I bought from K@co and they cost me £15.00 and I bought them to match a pj top I already owned that I had bought in Matalan and thought I could pair ... them up. Made from cotton jersey these come in sizes 8-24 and in a long length though we are not told what length they actually are but I'd guess at about 30in long. They come in three colour options which are grey marl, black and stripe/hot pink. I bought these in the black option and they are a deep jet black and really plain. They are smooth and lightweight, not too wide on the leg but not tight either and have a concealed slightly stretchy, elasticated waistband to them which doesn't dig in or anything negative like that. These are fully machine washable, tumble dry safe and you can iron them if you so desire and all in all I love these! Although I wash and wear them often I have had no shrinkage or colour fade at all and although I initially thought that they were quite highly priced for simply a pair of pj bottoms I can now see why as they are simply just such great quality! Available from £15.00 from K&co.com Read the complete review |

Sorbet Boutique Lace Overlay Bras
by stickyangel I haven't had a great deal of money to spend on 'luxuries' recently so when it came to buying some nice new underwear the usual suspects of Ann Summers and La Senza were not an option. After looking through the Very catalogue for what seemed like forever I came across these Lace Overlay bras from Sorbet Boutique and thought 2 for £20 was ... pretty reasonable for what looked like nice bras. They come as a pack of 2 with one black/red and one black/nude. The design is the same on both, it's just the colour that's different. They are a lightly padded underwired style with lace overlay on the cups and a section of lace above the cups. They do look very stylish and the red one especially is very sexy. The above picture isn't great, they actually look a lot nicer in reality, and I think the one pictured looks slightly different to mine because it's a bigger size. They come in sizes 32b through to 40e which is not that big a range really but still the majority of people should fit into that range. Now my size can vary a great deal from shop to shop but I generally find I'm either a 34c or 34b so I ordered both those sizes to try. I found the 34b was a perfect fit so I would say the sizes here are a little on the larger side as normally I'm somewhere between the b and c so neither fits perfectly. The 34c was a slightly different design with thicker straps and a triple fastener at the back which surprised me as it's not normally until you get up to the bigger sizes that the style starts to change to accommodate. These feel really comfy when I first put them on and on the cup side they remain that way all day. The underwires don't dig in or cause any problems and I never feel as though I'm going to fall out of the cups. The back of bra is another story altogether though. The edges of the back feel really uncomfortable and as the day wears on I get more and more sore from them. This is not from the bra being too tight or digging in, but from the material being too rough and rubbing. I thought it might get better after a few washes but it hasn't so these have pretty much become bedroom-only bras now. The bras are supposed to be handwashed as are most lingerie items, but I must admit I usually just chuck most of mine, with the exception of really special ones, in with my normal washing and usually they come out fine. These don't machine wash well though, they don't keep their shape well and they started to look a bit fatty after the first wash, so I'd recommend handwashing these. All in all I do think these are nice bras for the money. My boyfriend loves them and if you're not going to be wearing them all day they're great Read the complete review |
