Marquis de pink teddy - teddy discontinued by Fantasy Lingerie - review by spookycutie

I LOVE the combination of pink and black, and I'm also fairly partial to wide-ish stripe patterns...so naturally, I wanted this as soon as I saw it on Eden. After receiving this piece, I'm hoping to get another few things from the Marquis de Pink collection before it's all sadly discontinued.



Packaging: The packaging is minimal; a cheap Saran-wrap feeling bag and a flimsy hanger. The tag is gorgeous, though! Here it is, complete with a lovely unicorn:



Appearance: This teddy is the same shade of pink as its shown on my monitor---always a plus to receive something that looks like the actual stock photos! It has a little bit of shine to it, which makes for a nice pretty effect. The only thing not pictured are the weird ties by the hips; I don't really know what to do with those as they're already looped, so you can't really tie them in a bow. I just looped them through the waistband part a few times and let them hang.

Material & Care: 92% Nylon, 8% Spandex, and the car instructions read:
Machine wash warm,
Gentle wash darks separately
Tumble dry low - Remove promptly
Do not twist or wring
This is one of the first pieces I've seen that says it can go in the washing machine. Pretty cool!

Size: I was going to buy this in a small, because the cups aren't super molded and it looked stretchy (I wear a 34D bra so, for things with molded cups I go with a Medium or Large) but then I thought I had better get the medium, so it wouldn't be like a wedgie and be painful. I'm 5'7" with a llllong torso, but this is actually long and loose on me! I'd say is definitely runs a little big. I most certainly could have gotten away with the Small. The bra band on this is even a little loose, but none of it's loose enough for it to be sliding off, thankfully :) It fits comfortable, just a little loose by the hips/tummy namely.

The cups have some underwire, and for once it actually sits where it's supposed to! Yay! Usually when things have a designated area for boobs, the bottom part is across my nipple...not so on this one!

The quality of this teddy is just perfect. No runs, loose threads or any other issues. It's soft and silky to the touch and I'm sure I'll love it for a long time :) Overall very pleased and glad I could snatch this up before it went out of stock forever!

I still can't say anything bad about this teddy! It's silky, pretty, and fun. I just wish I had more occasions to wear it!
