Beach police - costume discontinued by Espiral - review by married with children

This will show up in a plastic bag with a thin cardboard insert. The insert has a big picture of a model wearing the outfit. It is the same picture shown on the product page. The back of the insert shows the same model from behind, plus 6 other outfits by Espiral Lingerie. There is really no need to keep the packaging around. It does not work for storage, at least once you take the outfit out. And there really isn't any information on the packaging that you need to keep around.

To care for this, they want you to wash separately and drip dry. You also can not bleach. It is not stated hand wash only, so I will be throwing ours in the washer when it comes time to wash it. This has just been tossed in the dresser for safe keeping. It does not need to be hung up to store it. This is a pretty easy piece of lingerie to take care of. Very low maintenance, at least for us. This was made in Colombia, for those who care.

This outfit comes with the top, bottom, toy handcuffs, police badge, and a head piece. The top and bottom are about the only pieces worth keeping. The hat and cuffs are a joke. But more on those two below. The outfit is made from 97% Nylon and 3% elastan. It feels like nylon or spandex. Very smooth and slightly stretchy. The toy handcuffs are made from plastic. And as far as the hat goes, I cant tell what it is made from. There is no tag on it, and it does not feel like Nylon. It feels like the material used on tents or tarps, almost plastic feeling. The police badge feels cheap and thin, and it is made from plastic.

The quality on the hat and cuffs is very poor. The hat does not fit, and has no adjustment to it. It also does not look like the picture. It is very wrinkled and miss-formed. The picture has it looking like a high quality hat, this it is not. This was way too big for my wife's head. The bill was also shaped funny, like it had been cut out wrong. The police label on the front was cockeyed. The elastic on the back only gives you 1/2 inch of stretch, if you are lucky. The cuffs look like something you would get from the dollar store. Very cheaply made. They are also on the small side, if you have a large wrist these will not fit you. The cuffs come with a set of keys. Not that you will need keys, you can just pull hard and they will break apart.

The bottom and top are pretty decent quality. Not the highest, but good enough to last for awhile. The bottom is very similar to a pair of boy shorts. The seems and stitching are all done right. They fit slightly loose on my wife, but just ever so slightly. They have a small pocket on the front, with a metal chain attached to it. The metal chain also has a heart pendant. The metal chain attaches to the top. If you do not want the chain, it should only take a few minutes to detach it from the shorts. THe shorts are 75% black, with the rest being white. The white is mainly used in the waist band. The small pocket is also white in color.

The top is also in black and white. With more white being used in the top, then in the bottoms. The top has two white buttons in the middle right below the bust's. The cups are also white. There is no breast support in the top. This is held on by a band running around the bottom, and two tie strings around the neck. Because of the band running around the bottom, you can not get this off in a hurry. So when things get hot and heavy, the top tends to be in the way. The metal chain attaches to a small metal loop placed in-between the breasts. The police label on the top is crooked and feels like it is made from the same material as t-shirt tags.

Overall, with the exceptions of the hat, cuffs, and badge; this is a pretty good outfit. The top and shorts fit nicely. This is a one size fits all, and my wife is about 5 foot 4 inches tall and 125 pounds, with a 34 B cup. It looked pretty nice on her. It still bothers me that the hat was of such poor quality. I expect that from the cuffs, but not the hat. For almost $40, you should get a decent hat.

The hat, cuffs and police badge were such poor quality that we did not even use them. My wife gave the cuffs and badge to the kids to play with, and she tossed the hat. Such a shame that they could not have came up with something better to come in this package

we really have not used this any more, not because it is poor quality. It just does not get into the batting list. We have many more sexy outfits that I enjoy seeing her in. This works for dress up play. It has also held up nicely with the cleanings. This is a good cop outfit, if you are looking for a cop outfit.
