Turquoise stretch lace open crotch boyshort - shorts discontinued by DreamGirl - review by SMichelle

I was in love with these from the moment I saw them on the site. The color was so pretty, they're crotchless, and they're available in a wide range of sizes! I loved them even more because there are different color options available. Sadly, though, these did not live up to my expectations. The quality is cheap, and the fit wasn't that flattering on my figure.

Basics:
These panties are made by DreamGirl. They're open crotch panties, so they're great if you're looking for something you can leave on during sex. They're also comfortable enough to wear all day long.

The panties are available in the following colors: turquoise, hot pink, iris, coral, and lime. I purchased the turquoise -- which is just beautiful in person.

Material & Care:
These are made out of 90% Nylon and 10% Spandex.

As the name implies (stretch lace open crotch boyshorts), these panties have a great deal of stretch to them. You should be aware, however, that the more you stretch these, the more likely it is that you'll end up with a bit of muffin top.

The lace on the panties is very soft and non-irritating. It's comfortable to wear, even for extended periods of time. Unfortunately, however, the edging on the lace seems to be fraying straight out of the package.

To care for these, it is recommend that you hand wash them in cold water, and then allow them to line dry.

Sizing:
These panties are available in the following sizes: S, M, L, 1X/2X, and 3X/4X. I purchased the large.

According to the size chart, a large should fit someone with a 38-40" hip measurement. My own hips measure 40", and this pair of panties fits me just fine. I think that the panties are definitely sized a bit large, as these could easily fit someone a good 2 or so inches larger than me. That said, these panties should also fit someone on the lower end of the large size chart, as well.

My biggest worry with all panties is that my ass will not fit. I have some junk in my trunk, and getting panties to fit my ass right is always an issue. These panties DO fit my ass right, but I don't think that the look is flattering.

Moving on, I took the following measurements to help give you an idea of how the panties fit:
Waistband: 15.5" (unstretched), 23" (stretched)

Design:
These boyshort panties provide some coverage in the front, but they pretty much reveal your entire ass. This is because the cut of them is quite high. It's actually kind of sexy though -- especially because of hte little scalloped edges on the lace.

The panties also feature two boys for decoration. One very small bow is found on the top center of the front, whereas a larger bow is found on the top center of the back. The bows do not seem to interfere with wearing these underneath clothing, but you could easily remove the bows with a seam ripper if you chose to.

You cannot tell that these panties are crotchless when you're wearing them. The crotchless bit is made by two separate pieces of fabric that sort of overlap each other. That being said, it's definitely possible to keep these panties on during intercourse! I also really like the fact that it's not immediately obvious that I'm wearing crotchless panties.

For those curious, the slit measures about 8" long. It also falls in the proper place on me -- unlike some other crotchless panties.

Quality:
In a word? Awful. $10.99 isn't exactly a lot, but I'm not used to spending that much one pair of panties. My expectations for these were pretty high. I wasn't expecting perfection, but I was expecting sturdy seams. As it is, the seams appear to be coming undone. In fact, the seam that connects the crotchless portion with the front isn't even sewn completely! There's also an absolutely ridiculous amount of loose threads. So... Terrible quality. I wouldn't recommend these unless you're good at sewing. Even then, they're really only worth it if you get them on a really good sale.

These panties are sexy in theory, but they just did not make me feel sexy. I felt like they highlighted my flaws, so these definitely aren't panties that I'll wear to turn on my lover.

Prior to purchasing these, I was planning on buying a pair in every color... I'll pass, now.

Okay, these panties are still not the highest of quality. In fact, the quality sucks. However... I do LOVE how these look on me now, and I wear them pretty often. I've also decided to order these in other colors, and the quality on the other colors has been a bit better.
