Black off the shoulder babydoll - babydoll and panties set by DreamGirl - review by SMichelle

If there's one thing I love, it's lingerie that can be used both in and out of the bedroom. This is a great piece that can easily work for both private and public use. Pair it with a sexy pair of panties and you have a look that will wow your lover. Pair it with a sexy pair of jeans and a camisole, and you're ready for a night on the town. It's truly a multi-purpose piece.

That said, it's not perfect, and I feel a bit torn on what I think of it.

What's Included:
This set comes with the black lace babydoll, and a matching thong. There is no hanger included, so you will need to provide your own if you wish to hang this up.

Material and Care:
Both pieces are made out of 92% Nylon and 8% Spandex. There is also a satin ribbon on the babydoll, and what appears to be a cotton pantyliner on the thong.

Both pieces are completely see through on their own, which means that this piece is very breathable.

The babydoll and the thong both have a matching lace pattern on them. The lace is somewhat of a rose design, which is just gorgeous. The lace is very soft to the touch, and is not at all itchy. You should be aware, however, that the lace does feel somewhat fragile. I worry that one tug would cause the babydoll to rip.

To care for both pieces, it is recommended that you hand wash them in cold water, and then hang them to dry. Once the piece is dry, I would recommend either hanging the piece in your closet, or folding it nicely and placing it in a drawer.

You may also want to be aware that the packaging states to not use bleach on this item.

Sizing:
Dreamgirl has made this item available in two sizes; one size fits most, and plus size. I decided to try my luck with one size fits most.

According to Dreamgirl, the one size fits most should fit someone with the following measurements:
Cups: B-C
Bust: 32-38"
Waist: 24-32"
Hips: 34-40"
Weight: 90-160lbs

I personally wear a large C, or small D, depending on the bra, and weigh slightly more than the recommended weight. Otherwise, I fit into the recommended measurements. Overall, this piece does fit me, but it is very snug. It would fit someone with a smaller bust better, but it can certainly accommodate a D cup with a little effort. That said, the larger breasts you have, the less support it's going to offer you.

I don't think that this would fit someone any bigger than the measurements outline, so in this case? I would say that Dreamgirl is right on with their sizing.

As for the thong? For me, the thong was too small to be worn comfortably. The thong measures about 16.5" when stretched, while laying flat.

Design:
The product page, and packaging, make this piece look as though it's supposed to be longer. For me, this piece was extremely short. I'm 5'6" and it fit more like a top than anything else. That's okay though, it still looks great with a pair of sexy panties, or with a pair of jeans. I do wish that it was a bit longer, though.

This top can be worn either on the shoulders, or off the shoulders. I prefer to wear the piece on my shoulders as this gives me more bust support.

The bust portion of this top is a little small, and would probably best support anything below a small c cup. Larger breasts can fit in this, but you will not get the proper support, and may find that you spill over the top of it.

If you're not a fan of bows and ruffles, you're going to want to avoid this piece. The neckline, and the arm bands, both have a little ruffle on them. There is also a very large non-removable bow in the center of the piece. The two arm bands also have bows on them, but you could probably remove those bows with a seam ripper if you chose to.

The thongs design does include a pantyliner. The pantyliner is open on both ends, so it may not hold a bullet in properly.

Packaging:
This piece arrived packaged in a cardboard box. The cardboard box has the Dreamgirl label on it, as well as a picture of the model wearing the item. The packaging also lists basic information about the babydoll.

This packaging is not discreet, so you're probably not going to want to open it in public.

Quality:
Overall, the quality of this piece is okay. There were some areas with loose threads, but that is nothing that a pair of scissors can't fix.

My only worry with this piece is that the lace may tear easily, but for a piece that cost less than $25? It's well worth it.

In my initial review, I wrote that I worried that this item would tear easily. It looks like I was right.

After I wrote my review, this piece kind of sat in my lingerie drawer; untouched. It was a beautiful piece, but I never felt the desire to wear it.

Then one day, I decided to put it on... it looked great, but then as I went to adjust the hemline, it ripped, badly.
