Athena lace babydoll - chemise and panty set by Fantasy Lingerie - review by Jul!a

This particular piece of lingerie not only looks smoking hot in the bedroom, but it can also add a smoking hot pop of color to your regular wardrobe. All you need is a tank top underneath and this becomes a gorgeous accent piece.

It came in just some pretty pink paper with a small tag on it. It has a care tag located on the side of the babydoll that tells you that it's 100% polyester and that you should machine wash cold and line dry. The thong however can also be run through the dryer on low if you remove it promptly. You can store it folded up in a drawer since it seems pretty wrinkle resistant, or you can utilize the hanging straps to hang it in your closet. Both pieces seem pretty well made, although the thong will give out long before the babydoll does. There aren't any loose strings or frayed ends that I could see anywhere.

I got mine in a size small. To Fantasty Lingerie, this means I should be a size 6-8, 35-37" bust, 26 1/2-28 1/2" waist, and 37 1/2-39 1/2" hips. Personally I'm about 5'2, I weigh about 110, around my bust measures 32" and underneath measures about 28 1/2". I've got about a 29" waist with 37" hips and wear a good solid B cup. With this set the breast size really doesn't matter, although because there's no underwire to support your breasts, I'd say that a full C or small D (or naturally perky breasts) would work best. On me it doesn't make them look fantastic, but they don't look bad either.

This set contains both the babydoll and a thong. The top is designed as sort of a halter top/cowl neck baby doll. It ties behind your neck, but has no specific cups; just an area that covers your breasts. On mine, that area is about 20" across the top, 8" tall at the sides, and 12 1/2" across the bottom all when laid flat. The very top of it folds over on itself a little on the inside to encourage that section to lay properly while being worn. At each corner on the top, there are strings that tie around your neck in a halter fashion, both about 21 1/2" long. That section meets a sheer floral lace band that goes all the way around your body under your bust. That band is about 6 1/2" tall, and then meets the flowy bottom of the babydoll. That part is open from the bottom of the lace on down a total of 13" in height. Both the flowy babydoll bottom and the top are made of the same sheer red mesh. It's pretty stretchy too, so even though it fit me very well and I'm just under their measurement guidelines, it should fit the entirety of the guidelines as well.

The thong is mostly the same lace as the midsection of the babydoll. The triangle of coverage is about 5" across and 7" down the middle and doesn't provide much extra coverage. On me, it met the elastic band and disappeared pretty much exactly over my vaginal entrance. The sides were covered pretty well in the front but as the triangle moved down, there was less coverage, especially if moving around much. It's the more common "t" back style, but it's adjustable along the band, so if you want to adjust where the butt string falls along the waistband, you can do that. It stretches up to about 17 1/2" across the waist band when laid flat. On my 37" hips it didn't cut in at all, but it didn't seem like there was a whole lot of wiggle room either. With this one though, you can easily replace it with another thong in red, or black, or whatever color you choose!

This is it being worn over a black spaghetti strap tank top. You can see that it doesn't cover very well in the back, but still makes a neat accent anyway.

I absolutely love red lingerie, especially when I can pair it with clothing and really stand out somehow. I've been eying this one for a long time and recently bit the bullet and ordered a whole bunch of things I've been wanting but hadn't bought yet. I'm sooooo happy I did. It might not flatter my body the absolute best when worn over clothing, but when worn on its own it looks really sexy. The way the cowl neck lays, the way you can kind of see my nipples through the fabric but not super obvious, the way the sides easily stay out of the way during sex, all of it makes me feel like I'm oozing sexy. It is one of my favorite pieces and one that I make sure I can easily get to to wear out as well.
