The material is a very soft nylon/elastic blend in a dark purple color. Upon washing this, I did note a distinct lightening of the color especially in the mesh stomach panel. Both the mesh and the lace appear to be perfectly matched in color and texture. The tag states that it is machine washable separately and line dry, however all lingerie we own gets hand washed and checked for defects, tears or general aging.

The piece is a lace, split crotch string thong style teddy with back ties at chest level and around the neck, this piece provides no back coverage. There is a large, fairly inflexible care tag on the left chest tie, which we removed very carefully to prevent this irritation. Both the mesh stomach panel and the lace are very soft and supple.

This was shipped in a box without any sort of protective packaging around the piece; even a simple plastic bag around it would have been nice.

The piece generally fit very well and looked nice on, however the undersized cups simply lay over the top of the breasts not providing any cupping or general support. In my wife’s case, her normally perky breasts looked somewhat droopy as they were not contained within the cups. The split crotch panel adds a nice visual aspect to the overall appeal. The teddy's length was perfect for her shorter frame, and chest and neck ties allowed us to adjust the fit. Though the size is listed as large due to the string tie nature of this, I would say this is really a one size fits most for the larger size.

This will stay in the rotation and will definitively be something I encourage on date nights, though again due to the lack of cup support, it will likely be only for dates where we do not leave the house.

The piece is very lightweight and could easily be crushed for an overnight bag or even thrown in a purse.

We enjoyed this piece and will likely continue to enjoy it. It feels well-made and felt good on. The open crotch look is very attractive and the color is great. All that aside, the cups do not provide any form of support and for larger breasts, this may even make them appear a little droopy.
