La femme novelty babydoll set - babydoll and panties set by DreamGirl - review by Jul!a

Looking for a way to add an extra pop of color and sexy to your night in, or out? Definitely look into this amazing set.

It came to me in a plastic bag, no frills, very nice.

This set is available in S, M, and L. I got the small, and according to DreamGirl, this means I should be a size 2 - 6, A - B cup, 32-34" bust, 24-26" waist, 34-36" hips, and weigh between 90 and 120 pounds. Personally I'm about 5'2, I weigh about 105, around my bust measures 31" and underneath measures about 28 1/2". I've got about a 25" waist with 33" hips and I wear a B cup. For the most part everything fit ok, but the cups were a little loose on me.

For a medium, DreamGirl recommends you be a size 6-10, B-C cup, 34-36" bust, 26-28" waist, 36-38" hips and weigh between 120 and 140 pounds. For a large they recommend you be a size 10-14, C-D cup, 36-38" bust, 28-32" waist, 38-40" hips, and weigh between 140 and 150 pounds. Since this babydoll ties in the front and will allow for a larger bust measurement, you can order a size down for a fuller looking top. But if your hip measurements don't fit the smaller size, order up.

There are a total of 4 pieces to this set: the babydoll top, the matching thong, and the matching arm bands. The top is about 20" tall from the top of the back to the bottom of the top. It falls much like a long t-shirt would, only more open and flowy. The cups run a bit big, so for the small if you have anything less than a C cup, I would recommend a padded bra that does not have underwire, unless you don't mind your breasts sneaking out. Since the cups on this top are also padded with underwire, if your breasts are large enough to need support, you will get it. The straps are adjustable just like a regular bra would be, and you put the top on much like a backpack should go, one shoulder on then the next, and it ties in the middle. Everything but the cups is made of a mesh as bright of a red as the cups. The mesh itself is super soft, and doesn't seem to get scratchy at all, unless you manage to put it on inside out, in which case the sequins might get itchy. Every 8" or so there's a floral design stitched into the mesh running lengthwise, and it's decorated with clear sequins.

The thong has more substance than a g-string, with a back piece that's almost 2" wide. The front has about 4" of fabric across the front, making sure that everything stays covered. Here's a picture to show you what I'm talking about. It's also pretty stretchy, stretching to about 19 1/2" across when laid flat. It matches the top in that it's the same bright red mesh with the sequins and the stitched floral design. It does have a nice crotch liner, making this outfit suitable for longer wear.

Next come the arm bands. They'll just look pretty around your wrists unless your arms are meatier. Even with the muscle I've gained from carting around rotors all day, my biceps are still a measly 9" around. Not enough to hold these arm bands in place. Your arms (or wherever you want to wear these) should be at least 10 1/2" around. Laid flat they measure about 5 1/2" across and stretch up to just under 9 1/2". They'll fit a wide variety of arms, and they match the top and the thong wonderfully.

DreamGirl recommends hand washing this set in cold water and line drying. The sequins are stitched on there well enough that I would personally feel comfortable running them through the washer on the lightest setting in a pillow case then line drying. For storage, just keep these anywhere you keep the rest of your delicates. You could even hang everything up, since everything but the thong has hanging straps.

While this set has been discontinued on Eden, it is still available through google searches, and definitely worth the investment I think. Not only is it obscenely comfortable, any pair of red panties can be worn instead of the supplied thong, and if you wear the babydoll over a black tank top with dark jeans it adds an awesome pop and twist to a much more casual outfit.

My only issues with this set was the fact that the arm bands won't stay on me, no matter where I put them, although if I wore them on my ankles my heel did keep them from falling right onto the floor, and the fact that no matter how tightly I tied that ribbon in the front, my boobs still popped out to say hi. Stacking another padded bra didn't work the greatest because that bra had underwire in it as well, but the next time I wear it out as a shirt, I'm going with a black tank and no bra.

I have to wear this over a tank top to not have my boobs fall out of the cups, but let me tell you, it does look smokin' over a black tank top. I have no idea where the arm bands went, or even the thong, but I do still wear the top as an accessory from time to time. It's held up fine through washing and everything so far.
