Top and skirt - bra and panty set discontinued by DreamGirl - review by Kitka

What is it?:

The Top and Skirt bra and panty set by DreamGirl is a sexy set consisting of a halter style top with metal accent horseshoe that has rhinestones in it and a skirtini (skirt with attached thong) that are all made in China.

Unfortunately this cute little set is only available in One Size Fits Most and the color black. Sorry ladies, no real options there but if your measurements fit the sizing for OS definitely give this a chance.

This sexy set can be worn in the privacy of your own home for your partner or just to feel sexy for yourself. You could also use the top as a bathing suit top since the material is very similar. The skirt reveals too much for most women to feel comfortable wearing it in public but it could also be used as a bathing suit bottom if you're so inclined.

Material: 92% Nylon and 8% Spandex

Nylon is a strong, tough and resilient material which offers good barrier and high fatigue properties. It is hypo-allergenic and offers good resistance to oils, greases and solvents. Nylon also has good resistance to a wide range of chemicals and a high abrasion and weathering resistance.

Spandex is very strong, durable and able to be stretched repetitively and still recover its original shape. It is resistant to body oils, perspiration, lotions and detergents with no static or pilling problems. Spandex cannot be stand high temperatures so never boil or bleach this material.

The top and skirt feel very similar to a bathing suit but are just a bit rougher. The material is not see through and has some stretch to it making it very comfortable to wear.

The metal accent horseshoe with rhinestones feels decently strong enough to hold the top together while wearing it for long periods of time but it could possibly be yanked apart and broken somewhat easily if you pulled hard enough with your hands. Also, I'm not sure what effects chlorine and/or salt water would have on the metal or rhinestones so be wary of that if you decide to use it a bathing suit top.

The rhinestones and the whole set look very nice, not cheap, and all the seams are sewn with quality. There were no loose threads or any other construction issues with it.

Design: All measurements are taken with the garments laid flat

Top: The top is a typical halter triangle top that ties around the neck and around the back with 17" long ties. The cups are each 5" across the bottom and about 8 1/2" from the bottom up to where it connects with one of the neck ties and they stretch about 2" wider. The metal horseshoe that holds the front of the triangle top closed is about 1 1/2" wide by about 1 1/2" from the bottom of the ring to the end circle that contains the rhinestones. The material is black and somewhat shiny and the metal horseshoe is silvery in color and shiny with clear rhinestones embedded in the circular tips.

Skirt: Also called a skirtini or a skirted thong, this bottom piece measures about 13" from side to side and 3" down the front, directly in the middle. From the middle of the front to each side the skirt piece gets increasingly longer up to about 6". The skirt measures about 8" in length from the dipped back to the bottom. The waistband stretches about 8" easily and the skirt spreads out to measure about 20" on the bottom from side to side. The skirtini also has two cutout holes on each hip measuring about 3" tall and 2" wide along with a bit of sewn fabric on the front to hold up the skirt material. It kind of gathers the extra skirt material in the middle/front to reveal a little more of the thong piece.



Sizing: True to Size with a little extra room

DreamGirl Size Chart for OS:

Bust ~ 32-38in
Cup Size ~ B-C
Waist ~ 24-32in
Hips ~ 38-41in
Weight ~ 90-160lbs.

My Sizes:

Bust ~ 36"
Cup Size ~ DD
Waist ~ 29"
Hips ~ 37 1/2"
Weight ~ 137lbs.

The top fit very well on my DD cup chest and it was easy to adjust. It is pretty stretchy in the cups so a B cup may not look ideal, there could possibly be some cup wrinkling. The skirtini actually fit me perfectly considering the thong is in a fixed state. The only things I didn't like were the hip holes but only because I didn't find them flattering on myself so they may work for others. I am very pleased with the fit of this set and would definitely recommend it to ladies with similar measurements.

Storing, Care and Packaging:

Storing the set is pretty simple; just toss it in your lingerie drawer with your other garments or put it in a lingerie envelope or other storage bag before putting it away in a drawer, on a shelf or in your closet.

The top and skirt should be hand washed in cold water, line dry.

The top and skirt set came packaged in a cellophane bag that was inside a cardboard envelope with a dark background, "DreamGirl" on the top, "One Size Fits Most, Black" on the bottom and a photo depicting a model wearing the set. The back of the package has a back view of the same model wearing the set and a little more information about the set itself.

The packaging is not great for storage and should be recycled wherever possible.

The only reason I don't like this set anymore is because I lost a bunch of weight and it's too loose now. I've since gifted it away to someone but it was in fabulous shape when given away.
