Tackle me babydoll - babydoll and panties set by DreamGirl - review by married with children

My wife picked this out, with no input from me. Not that she needs my permission to pick out a piece of lingerie. But I would have told her that I thought it looked cheap, had she asked. She picked this out because we have another football outfit that we both loved, and she had high hopes that this one would be as loved as the other. Needless to say, this one wont be as used as our football fantasy outfit.

Lets start with the packaging, as that will be the first thing you see when receiving this in the mail. This comes in what seems to be the standard Dreamgirl packaging, a cardboard box designed to hang from a store display hook. It is not really heavy enough to keep around and use for storage, it is pretty thin and would not take much abuse before breaking. The front of the package has a huge picture of a blond model wearing the outfit. The back has a smaller picture of the same model in a different pose, with her back towards you showing off her butt. There is no information included on the box. It is also made in China.

This is a one size fits most. The sizing range they say this will fit, is 90 pounds to 160 pounds. This is a pretty wide range of sizes. My wife falls into just below the middle of this range. It seemed to fit her body fine. It wasn't as nice as a fitted piece of lingerie, but then it is not as expensive as a fitted piece either.

The material is 100% polyester. It feels like polyester. It is soft and silky. There is quite a bit of stretch to it. I could not find any care instructions on the tag or the box. So I washed this with just a regular load of clothing. It did not give me any problems in the washing machine. The color did not fade, and the seems did not come apart. I was a little worried about the dryer. But we have a new dryer with a sensor that does not let it get too hot and turns off when the clothes are dry.

The shirt was slightly big on my wife. Not so big that she could use it as a nightgown, but it sat loosely on her body. The underwear just had a cheap look and feel to it. The fit like a cheap pair from wal-mart. They did not fit like a pair from VS. They were also slightly loose. The shirt has some shoulder pads sewn into the shoulders. They make the shirt sit funny on my wife's shoulders. They are also not attached very well to the shirt. They are tacked in two spots to the shirt. It looks like they only used a few threads on each spot to attach these, so I expect them to fall out after a few washes.

The print on the front of the shirt is stated to be heat transfer. Now what that means I do not know. I could not get any change in color or pattern from body heat. I tried rubbing my hands on it, I also put in under my knee and held it there with my leg bent for 10 minutes; and nothing made a difference in the print. I could use a blow dryer to heat it up, or put it in the dryer for 10 minutes or so; but that will not simulate body heat it would experience from regular use.

This set just had a cheap feel and look to it. I did not expect much, but my wife did. To me, they just fit wrong and sat weird on her body. I also feel that the printing on the front of the shirt will come off in the wash, after a dozen washes or so. They look and feel like cheap printing on a t-shirt or sweater, the kind that you purchase because you love printing (favorite band, phrase, picture, ect) and it starts coming apart and rubbing off in less then a month. That is the feel and look that this shirt has. Now I could be wrong, and it could last for a long time; but I doubt it.

We have not used this since the original review was written. Because it did not work that good for us the first time around, we have not taken the time to use it again. It just felt cheap and did not fit or look that good on her. I don't see this one getting used again. Stay away from this one, I feel you will just be disappointed in this.
