Strappy teddy - teddy discontinued by DreamGirl - review by Teacookie

Lovely color contrast, lace detail with a slight shimmer. The elastic is very sturdy and feels hard, while the stretchy lace is soft. 92% Polyester, 8% spandex. For care; hand wash cold water, line dry, made in China, labels in right bra cup.



My mannequin's body measurements in inches: Bust 35, Ribs 32, waist 25.5, hips 39, crotch to neck (the hollow at the base of the neck, clavicle?) 26. Strappy teddy on the mannequin; mid crotch to rib 18 Panty liner to rib 16, right to left rib lace 15.75
Just to let you know when I say rib I mean the line under your breast that you use for bra measurements.



Unstretched; begining of lace crotch up to the top of the lace at the ribs 17.25, from the narrow beginning of the lace crotch to the top where it widens 5, a lace cup right to left 7, a lace cup up and down 3.25, from the top of the cup to the end of the elastic 15, from where the elastic attaches at the rib band near the cup to the end of the elastic 18, from the bigining of the lace cup on the left to the end of the one on the right 15.
The two elastic straps on each cup above the lace is 6.50, the elastic on the side of the cups near your pits is 5.5

The bust ties are 17.25, stretched 31. So the elastic stretches about 3/4 its size, if you don't mind it biting into your flesh, the elastic is pretty hard to stretch.

On the back, the elastic for covering the butt has a right and left side since it's sewn to the vertical elastic strap that comes from the crotch, they don't move. The straps are not sewn completely flat; you can say they are tacked down in one place onto the vertical strap. I am going to label them from top to bottom strap A, B, and C.
Not Stretched the measurements are; Strap A left 10.5 right 11, Strap B left 10.5 right 10.5, Strap C left 10 right 10.
Spacing between the straps horizotal C to B 1.75, B to A 1.5, from end of crotch to C 4.5



The pany liner (not including the elastic on the side) not streched is 2 inches wide and 3 inches long to where it narrows to a point, Streched 3 wide and 4 long.



The elastic is folded in half, the lace is between the folds where it conects to the elastic. The portion of lace in the middle runing vertically is single seamed no elastic.

Note my mannaquin is made so it can be attached to a wall, so it basically has no butt.

Tying this pretty around my bust and neck was easy. Boyfriend thought it was beautiful and sexy. I am a B cup so I did not stretch the lace in the cups; it did not lay flat against my body along the top of the lace. Example- have you ever worn a bra with cups that were a bit on the big side? They stand up on the top edge a bit a way from your breast. I could not get the bottom portion on and it was a struggle to get it over my mannequin's thigh of 23 inches. Since I can't wear the bottom portion, I will probably replace the horizontal straps with some of my own. Some other ideas of altering this would be attaching it to booty shorts or a different pair of underwear.
