BRAND & COLOUR:

The Sweet Bouquet Baby doll and g-string set is part of The Escante Collection and is made in Mexico.

The set is rather darker than the baby pink shown in the product page images. I've never been a big pink fan, but the shade I received seems to work for me.




MATERIAL:

Contrary to what Eden states, the garment tag says 91% Nylon and 9% Elastane. I had bought this one in good faith, believing the fabric would be the solid type (chiffon looking) you see in the product page images. As much as the set is gorgeous, I was disappointed to find mine is completely see through and made entirely of tiny holed mesh. It leaves nothing to the imagination.
Having said that, at least it's cool for those warmer months.
The flowing skirt part is extremely stretchy in every direction. Even though the cups are also made of mesh (looks similar to a bee hive – only a miniature version), it's not stretchy in any way. This particular mesh is embroidered with silver and pink hearts, along with a variety of different types of flowers.

Seen as how this set only comes in a M and L, I went with the largest. With this style of baby doll, I find I can easily get away with a L when I normally go for an XL.

All measurements below are gained by measuring across a flat garment.




G-STRING:

As much as I like mesh fabric cause it allows your skin to fully breath, especially when it comes to down south, I prefer g-strings that are made from solid material. The mesh does also have another great feature; if the company insist on using a panel all the way to the back instead of using a strip of elastic, the mesh easily scrunches up and feels comfortable, unlike stiff fabric. The panel, as stated above, is made using tiny holed mesh that narrows in at the crotch area and flares out slightly on the top back edge. In the middle of this panel is a small cotton panty liner which is attached firmly on all four sides. No inserting a tiny bullet into this one for a little warm up. All the way around the mesh panel is lighter pink elastic which creates the waist band as well. On the inside of the back is the largest tag I have seen on a g-string! It's almost the size as the panel – ok, a little exaggerated. It's only held in place by a few zigzag stitches, so I'm sure most with have it removed in no time, probably out of itching frustration!

BABYDOLL:

The baby doll is stunning, just not what I expected from the company's product images.
The shoulder straps are a light pink to match the g-string and plastic adjusting clip like you find on a bra. Each one joins to the very tip of the cups and then runs down the outer edge. It's very slightly stretchy, but won't give much, as the cup mesh doesn't have the give the rest of the piece does. The entire top panel, which includes the cups and just beneath them, is created using a grey/blue non-stretch mesh with beautiful pink and champagne coloured embroidery. The mesh edges feature hearts, roses and various other types of flowers. To make the mesh in between more interesting, there are rows of outline embroidered flowers in both colours.

The cups sport underwire and are suitable for B to C cups. If you're any larger than a C, it's more than likely you're going to overflow these cups. I'm a DD and I have a LOT of overhang. If you're a very firm D, you might be able to pull it off.
Between the cups is a metal hook and fabric loop to help hold the front together instead of just relying on the 14 ¾” strips of pink ribbon. You can either tie them in a bow or leave them hanging.

Across the back top is a strip (almost ½” wide) of elastic where the mesh gathers onto. Inside at the back is a second piece of mesh with the same elastic at the bottom that runs between each cup. This second layer is only 1 ¾” deep in the middle of the back. I'm guessing it just gives extra support across the back. The skirt is made using two panels at the back, so it creates a slight gathering. The two fronts are cut to curve out to the sides, so they gape and reveal your stomach.

All seams have been serged and the ribbons ends have Stop Fray on them. They have done a great job when it comes to quality. They just need to cater for those who are larger than a C cup and get their images right!

CLEANING ~ PACKAGING:

The instruction tags on the baby doll and g-string state to hand wash in cold water, then line dry. It was late afternoon by the time I got home with my package and I insist on washing any new clothing before wearing it. I knew if I did hand wash my new pieces, they would never dry by early evening for me to try on; I'm extremely impatient. So I ended up just placing this and a couple of other lingerie sets into the washing machine on a hand wash cycle. I have a front loader, so I felt confident that they would come out in perfect condition, and they did.

My two piece set arrived wrapped up in Eden's pink tissue paper. It's great if you can use it for another project.


EXPERIENCE:

If I lived alone or just with a partner, this being so see through wouldn't be such a big issue. I could still even wear it in front of family if just the cups weren't see through. I most likely would not have bought this if the picture showed the true item.
At the same time, it is a stunning piece and perfect for those who can be free to wear it around the house. I'm just disappointed cause I feel deceived! I paid out close (saved on buyout discount) to the $35 for the item in the picture I thought I was getting. If I lived in the US, I'd probably be sending the two misleading baby dolls back for a refund.

As much as it is very pretty, it is more stunning in the product images with the Chiffon looking skirt and the cups don't look anywhere near as see through as mine.

It's sexy, but for Escante's misleading pictures compared to the actual item, I'm knocking it down to 3 stars! May seem harsh, but I don't appreciate being deceived just so they can sell their products.
