Dominated to Pieces

This teddy really didn't live up to the expectations. It is a great design, but has serious material issues. This garment would be great for a one time use, but I wouldn't have any expectations for more than that.

extremely useful review
My wife had her eye on this piece for some time, so I thought she should have it. I had high hopes for the Swirl Jacquard Teddy Set because we have had good luck with Leg Avenue in the past. The set comes with the teddy and a pair of matching stockings. It has a swirl pattern on the front, and a complimentary pattern on the stockings.

The material is made from 90% Nylon and 10% Spandex. The care instructions are hand wash in warm water, non-chlorine bleach if needed, drip dry and do not iron. This particular teddy was made in Taiwan. It is a one size fits all teddy. It has two snaps that connect at the crotch, and these are not visible when wearing the teddy.T he material is see through (for me, that's the best part).

The front of the box has a close up of a model wearing the teddy. The back of the box has the same picture, but it is farther away. It shows the complete set with stockings. The box makes a good place to store the teddy and stockings, but the box is by no means discreet because of the pictures on it.

With all that said, onward to how it actually looked! My wife was excited to try this one on. She modeled it for me the same day she received it. I have to say, the first time I laid eyes on it, the teddy reminded me of a dominatrix. I can't exactly put my finger on it, but if she had come out with a small whip, my mind would have been saying "I'm going to be in a world of hurt tonight."

The top of the stockings came up to the middle of her thighs. It did look comfortable on her, except for her breasts. It looked like it was squeezing in on her. She also had noticed that the nylon attached to the banding on the teddy had started to pull. It wasn't the seam that started to give, but the actual body of the teddy. It was like she didn't fit this one size fits most, even though she had done just fine with other products by Leg Avenue. I attribute it to the fact there is less Spandex in it. It was a true disappointment.

I do have one hope and that's she will continue to wear the teddy, at least until it goes totally bust, but only if it's not too uncomfortable to her. She looks great in it. I would just have to watch to make sure she doesn't purchase a whip or anything else that could be painful!

For the price of $15.99, it's not a big loss. I would say for someone a bit smaller than my wife, it may be an excellent fit and a great look. Now, for my wife's comments:

This particular teddy set was one I was unsure of, because of some the pictures made the design look "shoddy" at best. After it arrived, (a surprise purchase from my husband) I went to try it on. I took it out of its box and laid the smaller, folded item on the counter, thinking it was the stockings. As I began unfolding what I thought was the garment, I realized I was holding the stockings. With one stocking in hand and one falling to the floor, I quizzically looked at the folded piece sitting on the counter.

Has anyone ever wondered what a sausage might feel like? I was about to find out. The teddy measures:

At the neck: 7 1/2"(non-stretched)and 10 1/2"(stretched)
Arm hole to arm hole: 7"(non-stretched) and 11 1/2"(stretched)
Top hip: 6" (non-stretched) and 11 1/2"(stretched)
Crotch: 3 1/2" (non-stretched) and 6"(stretched)

The stocking measures 4" at the thigh banding and 3" from the knee to toe(non-stretched). The stocking has about a 3" stretch throughout.

(continued in the Experience section)
Experience
I carefully pulled the teddy down over my head and finished by snapping the two metal snaps located at the crotch. To be able to complete this task takes a lot of wiggling, and one must be very gentle while pulling or positioning the teddy to avoid rips, tears, or snags. The stockings were the easiest to put on. Once you locate the design, you slide them on as you would with regular pantyhose. The design is meant to be running up the outside of your leg, so some forethought is needed, but it is not difficult to accomplish.

I was thrilled at the overall result of the whole look. I loved it to pieces and that is exactly what began to happen. There was a lot of stretch to the garment, surprisingly enough, but with even the gentlest of pulling it began to get small holes within the body of the garment. It felt nice and it didn't feel constricting, but it did squeeze my small breasts and nipples to oblivion. The stockings were another surprise. The banding did not dig in, nor were they baggy in some areas while not in others. I had no problem getting them to stay in place. I did, however, only walk about 20 feet before the first run made its appearance.

I was devastated at this point. The teddy and stockings were beyond what I expected. This was going to be my favorite set of all time, if it had not begun to fall to pieces. I made my short appearance and then lovingly took it off, all the while realizing that I probably would not be able to wear it again without causing it to completely fall apart. The hose, themselves, were useless because of the long run that ran up them.

I gave up. I folded it all up and put it in the box, saying a small prayer and giving the garment its burial rights. I put it away into the drawer (I have yet to get rid of it).

I cheered up, thinking, if I go to Eden, I will just order this magnificent piece in a size up. To my dismay, I find out there is no other size. I have no clue what happened with this garment. At 140 pounds, 34B cup size, and 36" hips, I have never had a problem with fitting into Leg Avenue's one size fits most. The only thing different was the proportion of Nylon and Spandex in the garment, so I can only assume that is what went wrong.

I am not sure I can recommend this to anyone considering the what happened. I honestly don't believe that I got a bad set. I think this would happen again with another set. I truly am disappointed, because I did love the look of this teddy. I am willing to purchase it again, though, with the understanding that it will probably be a one time garment. If the stockings run again, I will just deal with it for one night (or turn out the lights).
Follow-up commentary
This is another follow-up that I am leaving up to my wife to do. I do want to say that the one time she wore it I was loving the thought of what this "could have been dominatrix" dream come true. I wish that she could have been able to wear it again comfortably and without any troubles. On to my wife's say;

In the beginning I was not sure I was going to like the outfit, but as stated above I did fall in love with the overall look. I have not tried to wear it again, even though I still have it "resting" in its original box. There were to many issues with it, for me to even want to attempt it. I thought about purchasing another but have been leary because I don't think this was a one time fluke for this outfit.

I do agree with my husband opinion that someone that is shorter and smaller then I, might be perfect for this outfit and all it has to offer.
