The plum pleated babydoll and thong are made by Dreamgirl. They come in plum, pink, red and black. The sizes available for the plum colored babydoll at the moment that I am writing this review are small, medium, large, 1x/2x and 3x/4x. It was manufactured in China.

This piece of lingerie is sheer, so should be worn at home only.


Packaging

It arrived on a Dreamgirl plastic hanger inside of a plastic bag.






Design, Sizing and Fit

The 1x/2x sizing is supposed to fit size 16-18. The breast cup go from D-DD with the bust size being 40-48. The waist can be from 36-40 and the hip sizes 42-48. The weight runs from 165- 225 pounds. All of these combined put me on the low end of the 1x/2x scale. I normally wear a size 14 but I have found in lingerie I am more comfortable going up to the 1x/2x because of my weight. I wear 42-44 D and my waist is about a 36. I weigh 162 pounds at the moment, but I fluctuate between 165 and 170 normally.



The straps on this babydoll are 16 ½” at its shortest and 23” when you slide it as far as it will go. The triangle of the breast cup is 9” across the sides and 10” along the bottom. The back of the babydoll is 20” long as is the front measured from right under the breast to the hem. Measuring from the top of the breast, at the bow, to the hem of the lingerie gives you slightly under 28”. The thong is 15” across when laying flat. When stretched it measures 21” long. The triangle on the front of the thong at its widest part measures 5”. The back is only 3” wide. From the front waistband measured to the back waistband is 21” in length. The liner in the crotch is 5” long and goes from 2 1/2” wide to 1 ¾” wide. The following pictures show the pleated breast cup, the mesh cup behind the pleated cup as well as the thong from the front and back.











Material and Care

It is made of 100% polyester. The tag says to hand wash in cold water and line dry. I suggest you follow these to the letter because it feels very thin to me and would probably fall apart if you put it in the washing machine or dryer.

Comfort and Final Thoughts

As far as comfort goes, I would give this particular item a 3 out of 5 stars. Ididn’t like the material because after wearing it for less than an hour it just felt really scratchy against my skin. The straps were much too long for me and the way that it causes the cup to sit feels funny. When I say it feels funny, I mean that it had a slight pull to it right over my nipple area. It feels to me like I have a seam running directly over my nipple. With no underwire or stronger elastic band on this particular piece of lingerie my breasts felt like they were half above the band and half below. From the band below the breast this item was perfectly done. I loved the way that it flows around you when you walk and I loved the pleats. From the breast up definitely needs a bit of work. Even though this is a 1x/2x item, the upper part seems to have been made for women with perky, smaller breasts.

I loved the way that it looked, but it just didn’t work for me. It is available in beautiful colors for the basic sizes, but only the plum is available in five sizes. I also liked the cute bow that is added in at each strap and between the breasts.

It still feels itchy and is uncomfortable for me to wear. It has just been hanging in my closet. I like the color but not the way it fit on me.
