Black pleated babydoll and thong - babydoll and panties set by DreamGirl - review by blacklodge

Material

This cute pleated babydoll was made in China from 100% polyester. It is a perfect spring or summer set since it doesn't really retain body heat. It's pretty cool to the touch as well. Another great thing about this babydoll is that it isn't itchy at all. The cups, if you will, are actually two separate pieces that are only attached at the top where the bow is and across the bottom of the cup where the middle band is. The top layer is the pleated material while underneath is mesh. Since this babydoll is very sheer, the mesh over the breasts helps it become a little more modest.


Size

This babydoll comes in three sizes: small, medium, and large. I picked up the small. Looking at Dreamgirl's size chart, a small should fit people who's bust size is 32-34" A/B. Since the babydoll is not formfitting and is very flowy, if your body doesn't exactly fit the other measurements you should still be able to wear it. (The other measurements are: 24-26" waist and 34-36" hips.)

Now for the actual measurements of the babydoll:



The green line indicates the middle band. The front does not stretch but the back does. Unstretched, it will fit someone who's 26" but stretched, it's 40".

The straps at their shortest are 13" and at their longest, 18".


Fit

This babydoll is so comfortable. It fits me wonderfully. The straps stay in place. The band doesn't cut into by back or armpits. I love it. Those are my main checkpoints my lingerie has to have for me to like it, and they're all checked. The only thing that slightly bothers me is if I sleep in this, my boobs pop out. That's really the only "bad" part, and it's not even that bad.

Flaws

There aren't many flaws and the ones that are there are easy to fix. On the right cup, the pleated material is coming undone due to poor stitching. I'm pretty handy with a needle and thread so it was an easy fix. Just a few little reinforced stitches to hold it together.

The bows are attached by a single stitch. I can see them easily coming off with a quick tug. This is also an easy fix.


Care

The tag says hand wash in cold water and line dry. After stitching my loose ends up, I ended up tossing this in the washer with all of my other laundry. It's held up very well and I've had no problems so far. I hang this up to dry. The pleats are just as pleated as they were when I bought this, and I've had this 6+ weeks.

Everything else

There's also a thong included with the babydoll. It's just a generic black thong with a black cotton liner. It fits like any VS small sized thong, except it's plain and not all that cute.

I've worn the heck out of this babydoll and it still looks brand new. I absolutely love it. It's been my go-to sleepwear for the summer. Eventually I would like to purchase this in plum, too
