Two-piece garter dress set - camisole discontinued by Baci - review by countrycutie

Packaging

It arrives in a cardboard box. Printed on the front is the picture of the model from the front. The back features that same girl from behind. No information, features, etc. anywhere on this box. The box is super obvious about what it contains. If you're worried about someone seeing what you're wearing in the bedroom, you might want to sneak it out.

The lingerie itself is sealed in a clear plastic bag and backed with a piece of cardboard similar to that of a pair of tights.

Material and Style

The dress and g-string are both made from a combination of nylon and spandex. The body of both items is a small, see-through black nylon mesh. It is extremely stretchy to make it one size fits most and has small enough holes that you won't have to worry about it catching on anything (garters, toys, etc, but do be careful with jewelry). Both the panties and the dress are edged in black elastic to hold it together.

The dress is cut in a wide v-neck and comes together with a small satin black bow in the center. The bow on mine is a little askew. The top of the dress is edged in black elastic and ties behind the neck halter-style. The ties are extremely stretchy and very similar to a bathing suit top. It's not the softest thing against your neck, but it won't stay on for long, right?




There is a tag in the back of the dress at the top that you may want to cut out.

The front of the dress has 3 long vertical stripes running the entire length of the dress, chest to ruffle. One stripe goes directly down the center and the other two are even with the tops of the garters. The stripes are made from a wider mesh, like fishnet and secured with an elastic edging similar to the edging on the sides of the dress, but smaller. There are no stripes on the back.

The bottom of the dress has a 2 inch ruffle made from the same stretchy nylon to give the dress a flirty, feminine look. The bottom edge is finished to keep it from fraying or catching. The back of the dress is about 6 inches longer than the front in that trendy long in back, short in front way. Very smart!

At the top front of both thighs, right above the inside of the ruffle is a garter strap. It is a typical hook with detachable black garter strip. The garters are adjustable. There are no garters in the back, just the front.

The g-string is made from that same black mesh and lined in the black elastic. There is a tag in the front that you may want to cut off. The lining in the crotch is a thin nylon. The back of the panty is adjustable for the one size fits most accuracy.



Fit

I was really hoping this would look good on me as I really like the halter-style, the garters and the frilly ruffle. Unfortunately, I was not in love with it. I am 5'6" with a 32" waist, 39" hips and 34B.

The dress is WAY too short to be attractive on me. Honestly, it felt like more of a top than a dress. The back skims the top of my rear in a sexy way and sits nicely along the back. It's the front that I did not love. Thank goodness for the ruffle! Without it I would almost be showing my belly button!




The lines are sexy, but they accentuate my curves and not in a way that had me feeling sexy. The very sheer material hides nothing so be sure you are very comfortable with your body before taking this one home. I felt that the neckline was a bit too wide for my liking. When I tried to prop my boobs up for that perky look I popped out because it is so low cut! The model's boobs sit up nice and perky, but mine looked a little sad without any support and without a cut that was made to show them off. Bigger breasted girls beware!

Care
Because this set is made from a small mesh, be careful to keep it away from jewelry and anything that may snag. This very thin material will rip very easily if caught.

To wash, either secure in a lingerie bag and wash in a machine on warm or hand wash in warm water and soap. This set can be dried in a machine on low. Just be careful to keep it separate from anything with buttons or zippers!

I really wanted to like this, but I was not fond of how it fit on me. I am a bit curvy and this piece hung to every curve, good and bad. I wish it hung a bit more loosely around the hips and fell in more of a babydoll. I am a fan of the ruffle and the garters. Overall, the dress stayed put very well as I moved around. No riding up or slinking down. The dress is very stretchy and soft so it was comfortable to wear. The only uncomfortable part is the halter that cuts a bit if tied too tightly. The underwear is super cute and comfy. I will definitely wear these with one of my other pieces.

This piece will most likely not work underneath clothes if that's something you're interested in. The ruffle would definitely show under most things.

While this set is adorable on the model and on a hanger, it does not flatter my figure. I found that it hugs in all the wrong places, and the flirty ruffle hits way too high. Perhaps when I lose 20 pounds it will look better.
