The Polka Dot Babydoll by Escante arrived folded neatly beneath hot pink tissue paper. There was no other packaging to the outfit, other than a cardboard tag that was attached to the babydoll. The cardboard tag stated the brand and the size of the outfit. The babydoll is available in sizes S-2X. Typically I wear a size XL, but this piece is not offered in XL. I had to choose between the L and 1X, so I chose the L because the chest is usually too big for me on anything over an XL.

The outfit is made of 96% nylon and 4% elastane. The polka dot mesh material is very stretchy. There is also an elastic band along the top, back of the babydoll that adds stretch as well. The entire outfit is sheer (except the chest). It really is too bad that it is so sheer because it would make for a lovely tank top for the warmer weather, or a cute little tank top to wear underneath a cardigan when it is colder.



I’ve taken measurements of the outfit laying flat, unstretched. If you need additional measurements, feel free to send me a message and I can get them for you.

Length of babydoll (taken from underneath chest, to bottom of longest dangling piece): 14 ½ inches

The pink ribbon underneath the chest looks like a light pink in the stock photo, but it’s actually a hot pink colour. The ribbon does not wrap around the back of the babydoll. The ends of the ribbon are sewn to the babydoll underneath the outer area of each cup. The ribbon is also sewn in the middle between the two cups. The ribbon is approximately 16 inches long and does not have any stretch to it.



The bottom of the babydoll (beneath the chest) is white polka dots on black. There are 7 dangling pieces of the same material, but black polka dots on white. The dangling pieces are placed on the babydoll as follows; 3 down the front of the babdoll, 1 on each side, and 2 in the back. The three pieces in the front have a 3inch width between them, and the rest of the pieces have a 4 ¾ width between them (except the very back, which is much wider).

The chest does not have underwire, but there is thin padding in each of the cups. The cups have a layer of lace overtop of them. The lace on the chest is the same lace as the panels on the panty; it’s thick and sturdy. I wear a C38 in bra size, and I would not suggest the size L to anyone with a larger chest size than mine. I found that my chest was even a bit too large for this size. It wasn’t uncomfortable, but my chest was falling out of the cups a bit.



I really like the panty that came with the babydoll because most of the sets come with a g-string or a thong. I don’t mind g-strings or thongs, but it’s nice to have a variety of panty styles. The back of the panty covers most of my bum, but there is the smallest amount of cheek that sticks out the bottom. The panty has a somewhat large tag in it, and while I did not find it uncomfortable, I feel it looks a little silly since the back of the panty is sheer. The tag comes off quite easily if you find it uncomfortable or unattractive like I did. Also, the panty does have a lining in it.



I found the babydoll and the panty to be very comfortable and did not irritate my skin at all. The only issues I had with this piece is that the more the material needs to be stretched, the lighter the colours appear (because it becomes more sheer). When I was wearing it, the front middle section looked as though it was more of a grey colour, rather than black because the material was stretched in this section. While this has nothing to do with comfort, I figured it was worth noting (I am a bit of a stickler when it comes to the appearance of whatever I am wearing).

The other issue was that the ribbon underneath the chest disappeared when I had it on. I guess my chest was just too heavy that the cups sat on top of the pink ribbon. It probably doesn’t help that the ribbon is only sewn to the babydoll in three spots. This wasn’t a gigantic deal to me since I still felt it looked nice, but again, something I figured it was worth noting.

The care tag in the piece states that the outfit should be hand washed separately in cold water. If you need to bleach the outfit, only use non-chlorine bleach. The outfit should be line dried, and should not be wrung or twisted. If you need to iron the outfit, iron on a low temperature only.

I’ve decided to give this piece a 5 out of 5. While I did have a few issues, the piece still looked lovely on me. The babydoll is adorable, the panty is fantastic, and the price is great. It’s a cute, flirty outfit that, with the proper care, will last.
