Something blue teddy - teddy discontinued by Fantasy Lingerie - review by badk1tty

At 6' and a size 18, I'm tall. I'm not just tall, I'm freakishly tall for a female. I generally order things a size or two larger so that they're not too short for me, so I got this in a 3x. I'm glad I did, because a 1/2x would not have fit me. Not today, not when I've lost another 30 pounds, nothin'. The reason for this, is that the plus-sizes are wider, but not longer. You cannot take a size 6, and add another 10 inches to it around the waist, and call it a size 16. You need to add size to the hips, the waist, the bust, the straps, etc. I don't feel like Fantasy Lingerie did that with this product very well. However, that being said, I don't have any other complaints about this product.



I actually was a bit hesitant to review this product, because in the past, I didn't have good experiences with this brand. About 7 months ago, I reviewed a different piece of lingerie by this company, with terrible results. The fabric ran, it was put together incorrectly, and there was just an array of other problems. I am pleasantly surprised at the quality of this product.



Made of 100% nylon, the bust looks like a traditional bra, and fits as well as one, also. The torso area is a mesh, that runs from the bottom of the bust all the way to the crotch, with no solid pieces of material between. The seams are sturdy and run down each side on the left and right, so that there is nothing to take away from the appearance of this piece.



The straps on the bust are very adjustable (however, if you're trying to get some more length, you'll sacrifice support and coverage for length on the bottom), so if you need to add a few inches or take a few inches away, you have that. The straps also are sturdy, and attractive. A faux-lace runs from the cups to the adjustable straps, and is crafted so that if you need to stretch it fully it won't mar the lace. It's also reinforced so that if you're having some rough play, it's not going to fray too easily, either. This is crafted to take more than a few rolls in the sheets. The bust also is reinforced with under-wire, so that it gives support as well as emphasizes the structure of the piece. Between the cups is a tiny blue bow, with a single pearl bead sown between the bow.



After the mesh of the body, comes the curve of the thighs. This part is cut a bit high, likely to emphasize the curve of a woman's body as well as show off the goods below. For me, I didn't exactly like this because it sort of lumps about my belly instead of showing off the curve of my thigh. Ahh, the bane of being overweight! At the mid-point between the thighs, where the lace ends, is the attachment to the garter. At the topmost point are another set of blue bows, again with the pearl bead sown on. At the bottom of the garter, also nicely adjustable, is the clasps where they're meant to attach to a set of thigh-highs. *NOTE* Do not be deceived, as I was. This set does not come with any nylons. I was disappointed, as I thought this came with the rhinestone nylons in the photo.



The piece of material that runs in the thong is not much narrower than runs in the crotch, but it's also not a G-string. It's somewhat thin in the front, and somewhat thick in the back. It also clasps with plastic buttons (somewhat like an infant onesie) between the crotch.



For storage, I simply hang mine on a hanger with a bunch of other pieces of lingerie. As it's a light material, I put 4-6 per hanger (dangling the straps on one side of the hanger, with another piece on the other side of the hanger, to counter balance it. When I've got 2 or 3 on each side, I put 2 or 3 more hanging over the actual neck of the hanger. This makes it so that I can store a very large amount of light lingerie's on a hanger, without taking up much space, or wasting a drawer). As for washing, machine wash on gentle, in warm water. Tumble dry on low. Do not hang or wring.
