Here’s our review, illustrated with a few photos, of a rather unusual piece of lingerie: the Splendor Lolitta dress.
I really like slightly fetish outfits and, so that I can show them to you here, I try to seek out things that are a little out of the ordinary. A little tight-fitting black dress is often very cute and generally looks pretty good, but you already know that. I wanted to try some slightly more unusual outfits, to mix things up a bit.
That’s how I spotted the Splendor dress by Lolitta in the Kisskiss.ch shop catalogue. A tutu-style faux-leather skirt, red straps and a collar with BDSM overtones gave this dress a pretty unusual look.
On the model wearing it, it looked classy… But what would it be like when tried on?
Here’s our review of the Splendor Lolitta dress.

Packaging
The Splendor Lolitta dress comes in a thin cardboard box, quite wide, with a photo of a model wearing the garment on it.
The matching thong
Let’s move very quickly on to the thong included: a faux-leather triangle at the front and a simple elastic strap at the back make this a very ordinary G-string. It’s one of those pairs of knickers that only exist so the description can say “with matching thong”.
What the Splendor Lolitta dress looks like
The Splendor dress is made up of a faux-leather collar, from which hang a multitude of red straps holding a little skirt, also made of faux leather.
Let’s take a closer look. The collar fastens with a Velcro fastening, and has a large black plastic ring at the front, which gives the whole thing a BDSM feel. A metal ring would probably have looked more authentic, but the choice is likely down to the weight of the ring. At first glance, you don’t really notice that it’s made of plastic.
There are ten straps, all adjustable and positioned at the front of the dress, five over each breast.
The skirt fastens at the front with a ribbon that you tie. It comes with a pair of suspenders, also red, which you can leave hanging down or attach to stockings, as you prefer.
Texture and materials
The packaging says: 90% polyamide, 10% elastane. In practice: the collar is made of fairly smooth faux leather, the skirt fabric is thick and not stretchy at all, with an outer texture that does a pretty good job of imitating leather, while the straps and suspenders are elastic.
Sizes
The Lolitta Splendor dress is available in two sizes: S/M and M/L.
Everything is adjustable; the only measurement you really need to consider is your waist. The ribbon gives you quite a bit of leeway to adjust it, but the skirt does seem to come up rather small in this respect: if in doubt, choose the larger size.
Comfort
I was worried that, like the Luxury bra by the same brand, the Splendor dress might have problems with the fastening that holds it in place, but that wasn’t the case.
As for comfort, the skirt isn’t tight-fitting and everything else is elastic: you feel comfortable, nothing pulls and nothing digs in.
The look of the Splendor Lolitta dress
The Splendor Lolitta dress can be worn on its own, with or without stockings, or with a bra or short top underneath the straps — for example, on a night out, if you want to avoid feeling “naked” too soon.
Of course, the straps don’t stay perfectly symmetrical and aligned with your nipples all the time. When you move, the dress moves with you, and your breasts are revealed and hidden to varying degrees as you move. But nothing too chaotic; overall, everything stays pretty well in place.
The skirt has a slight tendency to bunch up around the hips, but nothing too dramatic.
I really like this fetish look, a little BDSM, a little futuristic. It’s an original outfit that stands out without tipping into tackiness.
Conclusion on the Splendor Lolitta dress
The good points:
- It’s an outfit that’s out of the ordinary, fetish, but not clichéd. It’s a matter of taste, of course, but I like this look.
- Its price is very reasonable: around fifty Swiss francs, which currently works out at around forty euros.
The bad points:
- There’s not much to criticise about this dress, except that it doesn’t cover much. You’d be best off wearing it in a situation where you feel completely comfortable with nudity, or adding some extra accessories.
The Splendor Lolitta dress is an original, quirky outfit with a few BDSM connotations, all at an affordable price. An unusual garment that I really like.
