Packaging

Everything was pretty same-old, same-old with the packaging of the Christmas Romper when it arrived. I requested the assignment in November - in the hopes of preparing for some special holiday activities in December - and it arrived shortly after in a plain box. Inside, the only packaging holding the item was a plain plastic bag.



Folded up inside the plastic bag was the romper, a black belt, and two fuzzy boot covers. You'll have to provide your own boots to really make use of the white covers, which I don't have, but I was looking forward to trying on the romper even without them.

How'd It Look?

Well, I wish I was able to say that trying it on went well and everything looked great, but my experience with the romper didn't go so smoothly.

First, in inspecting the item when I first took it out of the bag, I quickly noticed red smears in the white fur where presumably the dye from the romper had rubbed off on it while the fur had been touching it.

I decided to overlook this and went to try on the item which did not go well. It simply didn't fit! There is some stretch to it, but not enough for the romper to easily fit a plus-sized individual such as myself, despite the sizing being One Size Fits Most like some of my other favorite lingerie pieces from Charm Wear. In my attempts to put it on, I noticed part of the stitching holding the zipper to the romper was tore; whether it was like this originally or tore during my attempts to wear it, I can't say for sure.

The best I could manage with the Christmas Romper was to wear it unzipped, but it wasn't a very attractive look in my opinion and wasn't flattering. Plus, having to wear an item of lingerie that is meant to zip up unzipped due to your size is a total confidence killer.

Final Thoughts

I really wish this item had fit me, but making it fit was impossible. Even when I did manage to get it zipped once, the moment I took my hands off of the zipper it flew right back down.

On assessing the item's quality for smaller women who may be interested in it, do note you may find red smudges on the white fur. The inside of the hood is also somewhat crinkly in texture from whatever material it is made from, and the fur of the romper gets a little itchy if you wear it too long.
