Overview
After my last foray into the Dream Girl line I swore I would never again select an item of lingerie bearing their label. As it turns out never only lasted two months. The Love is Beautiful bustier and panty set by Dream Girl lured me back in with its exquisite design and details. While this does come in white I opted for the black. I admit that while this set may be leaps and bounds above my last experience with the manufacturer it has flaws that is likely to upset many.
Material and Texture
Bustier
According to the tag, the Love is Beautiful bustier is said to be 100% Nylon, 100% Nilon, and 100% Polyamid, I would agree with this and add lace into the materials. While the tag suggests that the bustier and panty are made of the same materials there are some differences to be found. The back of the bustier you will find that there are nylon panels allowing the wearer extra give. These panels are placed along each side of the adjustable hook and eye closure. Next, the bustier's inner lining is made of a soft woven material that gives off the impression of satin. The outer shell of the bustier is made of the same rough lace as the panty however the lace that dangles off the garment is of a much finer quality.

Panty
The tag on this portion of the set is the same as the bustier though from the looks of each garment they have some differences in regards to materials. The outer shell of the thong seems to be lace over polyamid and, while beautiful to look at, is rough to the touch. The side strings of the thong are nylon making these panties wonderfully stretchy and gives comfort to the sides for your hips. Meanwhile the inside is made of polyamid with a cotton crotch lining. As you can see from the pictures this makes the inside of the thong very odd. The polyamid is starchy and weird choice of lining for an undergarment, for this reason and another I will explain further below that I have no wish to wear this thong and deem it useless.



Design and Craftsmanship
Bustier
The bustier includes four removeable garters attached at the front and back of the garment. These are very secure and I don’t see them getting loose and falling off unexpectedly. All you need to do when using these is slide the clamps out of the hook, place your stockings in between the clamps and hook, then re-slide the clamps back in place.



As you can see from the pictures Dream Girl did not skimp when they were placing boning within this garment. In fact when it comes to craftsmanship, by this I mean stitching, materials and the basic aesthetics of the product Dream Girl did a great job. There are nine plastic bands that make up the boning of this garment. As you can see from the photos above the boning, while great a tucking in the front of my tummy, did not give any shape to the sides of my waist. I had hoped this garment would add an hourglass curvature to my shape instead it left my sides looking narrow.



Now under normal circumstances if the bust portion of a lingerie set has an underwire, removeable straps, and some padding I’m pretty pleased. In this case I’ve found the bust to be the greatest weakness of this bustier. The padding is a thick foam-like material that did not fit my breasts properly. By this I mean there was enough room left over that I would need to wear a bra on top of bustier's padding to fill it out. Since this is a small I can only imagine what the deisgners were thinking when setting the measurements for this product.



Panty
The thong that comes in this set is very pretty and made to match the bustier. In regards to the craftsmanship like the rest of this set I have no qualms on this matter. There is not a stitch out of place or a string hanging about. Everything about this thong should say quality but once you get to the interior portion you’ll find that looks can be deceiving. Let me just say that if one is making a thong they should not choose to do so using a stiff material. Furthermore next time the manufacturer is kind enough place a pantyliner in their thongs it would be more considerate if the liner was actually situated correctly.

DreamGirl Size Chart



I was pleased to see that the Love is Beautiful set comes in sizes Small-3X since it said to me that DreamGirl was taking the figures of all ladies into consideration when designing this garment. While the sentiment might be very appreciated I don’t know if the manufacturer is being completely realistic with their measurements. Of the three closure options available in within this bustier I found myself only able to reach the furthest out so if you have a waist bigger than mine don’t get a small. Once I had the bustier on I found that there was way too much room where my breasts should lay in the bustier. This means you need breasts larger than a small C cup to fill this out. Seeing as this was a size small I would say a lot of petite women will not be able to wear this garment unless they've had breast augmentation. Basically this garment will only work for someone who resembles Barbie to fit properly.
Likes and Dislikes
What I wasn’t so fond of
As you may have inferred from reading this review I was absolutely unhappy with the thong this set came with. It was the epitome of looks can be deceiving; pretty and seemingly well-made. Imagine my surprise to find the material to be stiff and starchy. But all can be forgiven because, let’s be honest, the main reason for getting this set was not the thong. While the bustier is a keeper and I’m relatively happy with it the extremely unrealistic expectations the manufacturer seems to have had when designing this product is saddening. For the price I expect most individuals looking for a bustier could find a lot better elsewhere on Eden.
What I loved
No matter how I may nit-pick at this set I’m still overall happy with it. Honestly, if I could I would rate it 3.5 stars but that's not an option. Aside from the bosom and shapelessness, I found it to be quality piece in terms of stitching and material. This set did not have a string out of place or any wires poking out which I found to be a blessing one does not always receive with lingerie. Also I found the bustier to be absolutely gorgeous once I had it out of the bag and while I was not completely pleased with it when it was encasing my body I still found it to be too pretty to ignore. At the end of the day it still made me feel sexy which means that even though I know it could have been better, the bustier still did its job.

From other reviews of this product I’ve learned that this is an item best for larger breasted women in small and smaller bosomed women in large. This is an odd combination. I have found that some women do fit this combination and absolutely love this piece. It’s not for me and I don’t think it’s for the general population but upon giving this to a friend I found that it has a niche market who will love it.
