Gangster Get-up
This is a well made lingerie piece. It looks great. It feels great to the touch and stretches well. however, make sure you get the right size and allow for room because you will need it.Published: April 9, 2009
Pros:
nice material, high quality lace, won't shrink.
Cons:
bad sizing guide, weak bra cups.
This little lingerie number is very sexy! And when I say little, I mean LITTLE. It barely covered my arse! I don't even really have one. Now I have no problem showing the beh-donk-a-donk...but the virtual models on this site really suck! They gave me a wrong expectation of this outfit. It is much shorter than it looks on the virtual model. I was hoping something that teased much more since I have a lot of skimpy pieces.
Tip: get the size above what the sizing chart says. I got a M/L and my measurements are on the LOW end of the range. For example I am a size 10 dress size. The range is 8-14! It did not fit comfortably enough for me to feel as confident as I would like. That was a bummer. The bra cup is a bit weird. They don't offer much support. If you are much larger than me (34 D), you will not get away with this unless you have fake breasts. The straps are so thin that tightening them does not change anything at all but adding lines to your shoulders.
It is really well made though and won't shrink if you wash it. It is made of a nice feeling material. The lace is really high quality and won't be poked through by your fingers the first time you pull it down. I have had this problem with lower end products.
Bonus: it is made in the United States. I don't know about you, but I enjoy supporting my country's products.
Usually, I find that matching undies that come with outfits like this are useless. These are actually very comfortable and don't cut into me. I would totally wear them without the main piece.
As long as you get this product in the right size and heed my advice, you will end up with a great lingerie piece.

This little number holds up great to use and cleaning. It is a great investment if you can find the right size .

Thank you for viewing Pinstripe chemise and thong – chemise and panty set review page!
How did you wash this outfit? Has it held up well? How does the fabric feel to the touch and while wearing?
By the way, we use actual mannequins in the photos.
Thanks!
I have not washed it, so idk yet
I said the fabric had a nice feel.
And virtual or non...the mannequins suck. I hate them. The pictures of ACTUAL women with ACTUAL sized bodies do much more justice to the outfits and what should be expected. This is a main reason that I don't buy lingerie from this site.
Thanks for reading.
This is a cute outfit! I'm glad to see a wide size range in this one - how much stretch does this have?
Wow. It's a shame about the sizing issue but this is cute.
Even though I am fairly sure that it is the same vengeful person saying my reviews are not useful at all...the least you could do is say why...oh wait... you can't. Stop being so childish please. Down-rating is not in our job description.
So if I have a larger rear end I should probably steer clear of this one then?
MMM...I would say bigger hips are worse. Unless you are self concious of your butt sticking out a little?
I normally am, but if it's just me and my partner who's already seen it a ton of times I don't think it would bother me as much.
But based on the pictures of the model the big hips would be a big factor in the butt sticking out I guess, lol
A balanced hourglass figure would be best, so if I were you I would steer clear of this one.
Thank you for the review. I was looking at this but I now know my boobs wont fit. lol.
The only thing holding me back from this is the lack of support in the chest area... it looks like a beautiful piece though!
Great review
I totally agree with your comment about how much more helpful it is to see the items on actual women! I like the products that show pictures of both the regular and plus size model in the photos- even though "plus size" means a size 10-ish model, it gives me a WAY better idea of what something will look like on since I get to see it on more than one body type, so I am way more likely to buy.
sux about the cup size because it is very cute
thanks for the review
Thanks everyone! I agree, real models are better and a size 10 is not plus size!
100% agree 10 is not plus size have this discussion every time with my husband, he doesnt understand that i have to order plus when i clearly am not except for my bust. thanks for the review i dont think this one would work for me in the boob department.
Thank you so much for the review! I really like this set!
Wow... so long ago! Since we're on a similar size range now, which size should I get?
