Flowy bustier babydoll - babydoll and panties set by Fantasy Lingerie - review by edeneve

Well, let's see, Which box is it? Two boxes in today's mail from EdenFantasys. Oh, open this one. Ripping the box open, anticipating Flowy Bustier Babydoll & Thong set from the Fantasys Lingerie line. Ha, there it is. Gently lifting the loose plastic wrapped Babydoll on a white plastic hanger, looking at the Bustier. Not really a bustier, it's a bra.

Noticing the Fantasy Lingerie piece has a wet look for the bra shape of the bustier, I see, it's called flowy because the rest of it is the babydoll. Ah, there are 4 panels with little white satin bows. Hm, that's not really fine lace here at the top, what's the name for it? Tatted lace, that's it. Machine made but still a nice trim.

The wet look Bustier which is actually a bra is made of poleather. This is 70% of the whole Bustier Babydoll fabric content. The thong is made of the same fabric with firm elastic all around. The fabric of the Babydoll part of the garment is polyester and 30% of the total fabric content.

The wet look bra is all lined in fabric for comfort. Sewn across the top edge from the right side seam to the left side seam is a very white machine tatted thick lace. It's very well made. There's a flower at the outside edge of each cup of the bra. The remaining tatted lace is designed with leaves and much smaller flowers which flows across the upper contour of the bra from one side seam around to the opposite side seam. It also dips down from the larger flower giving a nice framing for cleaveage.

The care label says to "machine wash on gentle cycle washing dark clothes separately". It can be dried in a dryer on low and removed right away when dry. I would line dry because I'm concerned that too hot of a temperature might cause the wet look material to melt or distort. Not only that, I've had too many experiences using a dryer as recommended and the garment shrunk.

Bustier Babydoll with underwire has a double hook strap across the back which is well made. All of the bra has double seams or a very good zig zag stitch. The bottom edge of the Bra is stretchy with elastic encased in the wet look fabric seam. Another seam feature of the it that makes the seams of good quality is that the inside of the underwire seams and outside edge seams are lined with a comfort fabric. Also, the white shoulder straps are quite substantial for support.

The babydoll part of the garment has reinforced seams as well. The fabric is a very good quality sheer black fabric. There are no snags or runs as found in lesser quality sheer fabrics. The Babydoll is designed with 4 panels beginning 1/2 way down the skirt. There is a single panel each in the front and back, and each side has 1 panel also.

At the top of each panel slit are tiny white satin bows. All 3 edges of each panel are sewn with a very tight stitch using white thread for contrast. This also reflects the quality construction. In fact, even each corner is angled very well. There are no skipped stitches or loose threads either.

Slipping into Flowy Bustier Babydoll, I know this is going to be too tight. The Babydoll skirt is sewn to the lower bra edge which cuts away at the sides and slopes down to the waist encircling my back. There's a little bit of elasticizing along the edge, but I'm not sure it's going to be enough stretch.

Well it isn't. Unlike the the Bra, this is quite tight. It's cutting into my waist, and I don't like that. This looks all bunched up at my waist. I am tugging and tugging to pull the skirt down to get it to fit right. It's not happening, just ain't going to happen.

The Bra fits perfectly. The underwire gives great support. The straps are doing a great job with support too. The cups enhance the shape of my breasts and even my cleaveage looks great. A very, sexy look. Now, if I can just figure out what to do about the skirt. I don't like the 2 small white strips. I think they do nothing to add to the Bra's look.

I ordered size medium based on my bra size knowing my waist and hip measurements were a bit larger. The bra fits great and has great support. However, the Babydoll is just too tight and uncomfortable. When I looked at Fantasys Lingerie size chart, I knew the larger size of the Bustier was just too big for my bust.

The only sizes available are small, medium, and large. Below is Fantasys Lingerie size chart copied from EdenFantasys size charts for the only available sizes for the Flowy Bustier Babydoll. The fit is true to the size chart.

Bust (in) Waist (in) Hip (in)

Small 6 - 8 35 - 37 26½ - 28½ 37½ - 39½

Medium 10 - 12 37 - 39 28½ - 30½ 39½ - 42½

Large 14 - 16 39 - 41 30½ - 32½ 42½ - 44½

I'm very creative and love to be challenged to find a way to make something work. I thought about what I could do and tried several things to get a good fit with the babydoll skirt. I even considered cutting the rest of the skirt up to the bra. Yes, it would not have the very nice white stitching up the edges, but at least it wouldn't be so tight.

Well, I figured out I could just pull the tight portion of the skirt up to the base of the bra leaving the loose panels to cover my body. I pulled and folded the fabric till it looked like a band about 2" wide all the way around the top of the skirt, and it worked. The skirt is now just long enough to let the thong peak out which, by the way, is very uncomfortable. I don't like anything up my butt.

I still like this babydoll. I don't wear it very often, but when I do, I still have to hike the skirt up which is ok. It's a different look than the product picture, though. It's still a flirty sexy look.
