This could be the shortest review in Edenfantasys' history. The Mesh Ruffle Tanga with bow is beautiful, sexy, well made and fits, as well as flatters, a wide range of plus size women. We ordered a size 1X for my wife. She has a 35" waist and 42" hips. These ride high on the hips so the hip measurement is the important one.

The waistband is .25" elastic. It, too, is very soft and stretchy. Unstretched, it measures 17" and will stretch quite easily to 28". The entire panty is made of black soft, sheer mesh. Although the material is rather dull, the details spruce this up and it is transformed into a very pretty panty. Because we both love this panty so much, we really wish it had more than one color (black) available. Most pantys come in only one or two colors. I wish they were more creative in making several colors available.

The only seams are two seams in the front. These seams divide the front into three sections. The seams are covered with .25" satin black ribbon. The edges of the leg opening are nicely finished with a rolled edge. From one front seam, around the back and reconnecting to the second front seam, there are three rows of black mesh ruffles. There is a rather large black satin ribbon in the center of the elastic hipband. The ribbon is .75" wide and it is tied into a simple knot bow that is 3" wide and has two diagonal ribbons that are 4" long. In the center of the robbon knot is a small artificial rhinstone. It looks very cheap. There is a nicely sized black cotton liner that measures 2" X 4". It is sewn in place on three sides and is very secure.

The manufacturer is Leg Avenue, a rather middle of the road lingerie manufacturer. They used a blend of 91% nylon and 9% spandex. The washing instructions from Leg Avenue are to hand wash these in cold water, no bleach and no machine drying. Yes, these are delicate pantys, but we washed them in a lingerie bag in the regular washing machine and did not use the delicate cycle. We did let them air dry and because they are so light, open and sheer, they dried very quickly.

These were very comfortable on my wife. There is no elastic band around the legs so it does not bind. The sides of the hips measures 4.5". The pantys curl a bit around the bottom edges, adding to the ruffle pattern. If you are wearing these under clothing, the center bow may present a problem. It does not lay very flat and can be seen poking through all but the heaviest of fabrics. Worn with jeans, there would be no problem but worn with lighter cotton shorts or pants, and the ribbon will most definitely cause a bulge. Neither of us find the bow very attractive so we tried to remove it. It is very tightly tacked to the elastic and we didn't think we could remove the bow without cutting into the elastic.

The other think you should know about these is that the mesh is very easy to catch on fingernails and jewelery so caution is advised. They have no runs but you can see multiple snags. The good thing is that the snags did not damage the pantys so that they can not be worn. They are still very pretty and sexy. My wife has a pretty flat butt and when wearing these she is as close to having "junk in the trunk" as she will ever get!!

These are comfortable, easy care and look great. I think they would work for any body size or shape!!! I am very happy we own these!!
