Black robe and babydoll - bed jacket discontinued by DreamGirl - review by mistressg

This set comes in a plastic bag, which fits the length of the robe without folding it. One nice touch about the packaging is that it comes on a matching padded hanger. It may not be very minimal, but it certainly adds to the presentation of the product . This is the first piece of lingerie I've gotten from Eden that came with a padded hanger, so I thought that was nice. Though, I don't know that I'll actually use the hanger, especially since I don't store my lingerie in my closet.





The set has no smell, and the fabric is very silky and satiny. The side that shows is more satiny than the inside of the garments.

The fit of the babydoll is awkward. It is very loose, not form-fitting at all. The first thing I thought when I took it off the hanger and got a good look at it was, "This looks like some sort of attempt at a sexy hospital gown." When I tried it on that opinion didn't change, that really is the best way I can describe the fit of the babydoll. Have you ever had to put on one of those little gowns when seeing a doctor? They are always loose and just kind of hang open in places, and the fit of this is quite similar. I don't really see what's sexy about that, except for maybe the color and material.





The robe falls just barely below my bum. I would really like it if the robe were another 5 inches longer, so it would be totally covering, but I am tall. I think of it more as a coverup than a robe. This is nice for wearing around the house over skimpy things. If I am wearing a bra or tank top and have to leave my room, it's great throwing this on quickly as a coverup. Also, I feel pretty secure that this won't just fall open accidentally. On the inside, along the seams, there is a string on either side to tie it closed so that it doesn't fall open. Plus, there is the sash closure on the outside of the robe. One problem that I have had with robes in the past is the tie just coming out and having to pull it back through the loops. With this robe, that is not an issue! The tie is stitched into the robe somewhere in the back, and it not visible to me that it is stitched in. Never again will you have to worry about minding a drawstring when doing your laundry.

The arm holes in the robe are comfortable, the arms are comfortably lose and could fit arm significantly larger than mine. I love the look of the robe and think it looks nice on me. I have been wondering if it would look strange to wear the robe out as a shirt with some nice pants. I think it could look like a classy tunic.

I want to say this is a nice set...but really, it is a nice robe. Or I should say, a nice coverup. If you are getting this because you are at all interested in the babydoll, do not waste your time. Thankfully, I didn't care about the babydoll in the first place. If you are short, you will like the robe even more than I do! Normally, I would not be happy paying for a set and not liking half of it, but the robe aspect of this set makes is worth the price.

I still like this robe, and it makes for a great cover-up when I'm running around the house. The babydoll was given to a thrift store almost immediately, but the robe is great. However, I really do wish it were just a few inches longer. This is a bit short for me to be comfortable wearing around if there is company over or if my roommate is around, but for a quick cover-up this works nicely. Though I will admit, if I find a slightly longer robe on Eden any time soon that is the same quality as this one, this would be pretty much replaced.
