I love this saucy little babydoll. It's see-through, super-short and adjustable with a ribbon that ties around your neck, halter-fashion. The colour is one of its main attractions for me, I adore this bright bluebell shade. A tiny little g-string is included, no more than a triangle in the same fabric, held up by thin elastic. A little basic, but it matches. The camisole has a wide band of gorgeous lace embellished with gold thread which sets out the bust area and the satin ribbon is very silky and glamorous.
Size-wise, based on bust measurements, I asked for an XL. Unfortunately there is a big gap between sizes and I didn't want the elastic to be tight. It's a touch big for me but I think it's the design more than anything. It looks best on a well-endowed figure. So the size runs true. For the price it's a steal, and the quality is fine. It looks expensive and it's lovely to wear. Highly recommended to make you feel special or as a perfect gift for that special lady. |
A pretty babydoll made to enhance any body shape. This would be a perfect choice for ladies of demure bust dimensions because the lace that forms the bodice and goes round the neck is elastic. It will fit anyone and make you look sensational.
The rest of it is see-through, as you can see from the photos, but not super-short; on me a size XL reaches to mid-thigh (I'm 5'8”, and my usual size is UK 10, US 8). Actually I needed a size L but, unfortunately, it's not available, so I went higher when I should have gone lower. After washing it, I can see that this style runs big. For such a flimsy item, it's very well made and very comfortable to wear. The matching g-string is very basic, just a simple triangle in the same fabric, and some thin elastic. An inexpensive way to make yourself feel glamorous and a super gift. I was sent one of these in black for my impartial review, and it's become one of my favourites. |
I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of this beautiful short robe. The fabric is smooth and silky, and it is an absolute pleasure to wear. It looks exactly as you see it in the photos, the colours are rendered pretty accurately and the peacock and flowers design is a classic oriental theme, nicely interpreted here. For my evaluation, I selected the Dark Blue but it was a very difficult choice. All the colour combinations look beautiful.
Finishing and manufacture are excellent, no loose threads or visible imperfections (see my detail photo). Since it is a loose garment, held closed by a matching fabric belt, fit is not such a big consideration. As long as you can get your shoulders in and have enough material to double up around your waist, it should work. However, just to give you my take on the sizing, I normally wear a UK size 10, US 8, French 38. I asked for a French 38 – L (UK S) (US L) and it fits me perfectly, even a little loose. I find the price very reasonable for this quality, and I think any woman would be very pleased to receive this pretty robe as a present (and, if you are like me, you will probably want to get it in several colours!) |
A silky and shimmery camisole, edged with black lace trim. I was offered a sample to review and chose the green one. I love vivid colours and this green is intense but soothing, just as you see it in the photos. The design flatters your figure, regardless of shape or size, and has a certain timeless elegance, especially if you pair it with one of those short kimono-style robes.
The matching g-string is a basic little triangle of the satin fabric with very thin green elastic (see my detail photo). Nothing special, but it completes the set. I really like the silky feel of this camisole. It's comfortable enough to sleep in or just for lounging and looking hot. Regarding sizes, at the time of ordering the L size was not available, so I had to choose to go up or down. For reference, my usual size is UK 10, US 8, FR 38. I asked for an XL and it fits me fine, just a touch big but not too bad. So on this style, the size chart is fairly accurate. I find the quality very good, all seams and details are carefully executed, no loose threads or visible imperfections. It washes well in tepid water (I chose to hand-wash) and dries quickly on the line. Whether you give it as a gift, or buy it for yourself, I think you will be pleased with this lovely lingerie set. |
Cute design and idea let down by the execution and inaccurate sizing. Unlike similar items, this one is definitely oversized. I got the Large based on the measurements in the chart (UK 10, US 8, FR 38 is my usual size) and it is way too big, both in the skirt and the top, even with all the ribbons completely closed. Also I expected some kind of support for the bust but there are no cups or underwire, so a stick-on invisible bra is necessary for best effect. The panty is a simple triangle of the same synthetic material, held together by elastic, and is clearly not meant for long term wear. The imitation leather material is not my favourite, it can get a bit sweaty. While the corset is made well enough with soft boning, eyelets and a front zip that runs smoothly, the skirt is poorly finished, the waist band is simply folded down, not attached or sewn in place.
I have given my feedback to the vendor, as that is part of what I do with review samples such as this one, and it is up to them to correct the size chart. Until they do, my advice is to go one size smaller than the chart suggests. The top is meant to fit tightly, and the laces will provide a custom fit. The skirt has a side zip and is so short that it doesn't really matter where it sits, although I think it is intended to sit low on the hips, below the rather long corset. |
Obviously this is a playful costume for private use, but if you plan on using it for parties or wearing it for extended periods, you should consider that the fabric does not breathe.
On the type of figure it was designed for (like the model in the photos), it can look very attractive, but I found it less than flattering. I suppose at this price, one does not expect a top quality item, it's just a bit of fun. |
