The Red Lace Babydoll and Thong by DreamGirl is available in sizes S-XL. I had purchased the size XL for myself. The outfit arrived on a black, plastic hanger and the outfit was surrounded by plastic. There was no text or images on the clear plastic. The babydoll has two cardboard tags attached to it. The one tag has an image of a model wearing the outfit and states the company name, website, and size of the outfit. The other tag states the company contact information as well as the material composition of the outfit. The hanger would be good to use for storing the outfit or it can be kept in a drawer.



Both babydoll and thong are 100% polyester. The waistband to the thong is elastic so it is very stretchy. The material of the thong is stretchy as well. The material to the thong is mesh and sheer. The babydoll is trimmed with black elastic. The shoulder straps are also elastic. The material to the babydoll has stretch to it and is sheer. I’ve taken a few measurements of the outfit both stretched and unstretched. If you need any additional measurements, please send me a message and I will get them for you.

Thong
Waistband unstretched: 15 ¼ inches
Waistband stretched as much as I could: 30 inches
Widest part of material that covers your front area: 5 inches
Liner length: 4 inches

Babydoll
Chest (armpit to armpit) unstretched: 15 inches
Chest (armpit to armpit) stretched as much as I could: 26 ¼ inches
Cup lengh: 7 ¼ inches
Cup width: 7 ½ inches
Length (armpit to bottom): 15 ¼ inches
Width at bottom of babydoll: 27 inches

The measurements that I had taken of the chest were with the hook and eye closures done up on the loosest eye. There are three eyes, at the centre back, to attach the hook to. This closure does up like the centre back of a bra. Each eye is ½ of an inch from each other. I decided to take the measurements on the loosest fit because the XL is the largest size available. The cups have a seam line that runs vertically down the centre of each. There is also a seam line that runs down the centre back of the piece. The cups are not padded and do not have underwire in them.



At the top of each cup, there is a black bow made of ribbon. The bows are very small. They measure 1 ¾ inches wide and approximately 1 inch long. These bows sit between each cup and shoulder strap. There is also another bow that sits right at the centre bottom of the cups. You could always permanently detach the bows from the outfit with a seam ripper if you don’t like them. The shoulder straps, as I had mentioned, are elastic. The shoulder straps are not detachable but they are adjustable in length. The straps can be adjusted from 9 ¾ inches to 18 ¾ inches.

The babydoll is lace with a floral pattern to it. Beneath the cups, there are 3 tiered ruffles. Each ruffle is around 5 inches in length, each. These ruffles go all the way around the babydoll. There is a keyhole cut out beneath the hook and eye closures at the centre back. This hole is approximately 3 inches long. The width depends on how tight you make the closure. The top 2 ruffles sit on top of a mesh material, which is the same mesh material of the thong. The mesh is really soft against the skin. The thong has a lining in the crotch.





According to DreamGirl’s size chart, the XL should fit a cup size of D/E. I wear only a C cup and my bra band is 38. The suggested hip measurement of 40-42 inches doesn’t really matter for the top since the babydoll flows outwards. My hip measurement is 41 ½ inches though, which is important for the thong. I weighed in the high 160’s the last time I checked and I’m 5’6” in height.

The cups of the babydoll fit my C cups well but I had to tighten up the shoulder straps. I imagine that a D cup would be the best cup size for the XL, and with a bit of loosening of the shoulder straps, an E cup would fit fine as well. It’s important to note that with the cup having no padding or underwire, there is no support for your breasts. This may be an issue for those with larger breasts. I personally didn’t mind. With the cups being thin and sheer, you can see your nipples through the fabric. If this is a concern of yours you could invest in a pair of pasties or similar item to wear beneath the babydoll.

The bottom back of the babydoll fell half way down my bum, leaving the bottom of my bum exposed. The length can be adjusted a wee bit by loosening or tightening the shoulder straps. The babydoll flows outward so I didn’t have any issues with it being too tight or uncomfortable in any area. The included thong fit me nicely. My 41 ½ inch hips did not experience any muffin top when I wore the panty. The material at the front covered everything nicely, which is nice because a lot of the times I find the width to be too slender. The thong is fairly basic. It’s just a red mesh material with no design or decoration. The babydoll would look great with lace boyshorts if you were not a fan of thong style panties.

The only issue with this outfit, in my opinion, is the cups. Both lace material and seam line rubbing against my nipples proved to be slightly irritating after awhile, which is why I had deducted one star from the overall rating. I didn’t find the lace bothered me anywhere else. I assume this is because I have fairly sensitive nipples. It would have been nice if the company had lined the inside of the cups with the soft mesh material that sits beneath the top two layers of the babydoll. The mesh is very soft and gentle against the skin. I liked everything else about the outfit. It hides my round belly and looks nice when worn. The overall quality of the outfit is good. There were a few areas where the stitching looks a bit funky (see hook and eye closure photo above) but for the most part it is done well. The care tag states that the outfit should be hand washed and line dried.
