I love a pair of sexy lace panties, and these certainly seemed to fit the bill. In fact, it's similar to some of the hipsters or bikinis that I've purchased from Victoria's Secret in the past, so I hoped that I would like it just as much.

This is a basic bikini that is all made of black lace. There are seams at the side and a verticle seem up the back that provides some ruching. I like this detail in panties, but if you know you don't, I'd pass. For those new to this style of ruching, I can assure you that I never feel it, so I'd recommend the general style.

These are supposed to be rather cheeky, but they fit just like a bikini for me. I would achieve this effect if I went down in size; however, lingerie sizes are often hit or miss for me. I feel like this is comparable to most VS sizing. I usually wear a medium with stretchy materials or a large if it's less stretchy. The large I got covered my ass and fit my 41-inch hips quite well. I feel as though I could have gotten away with a medium but it might have been less flattering and more snug. Still, I don't mind if these aren't quite cheeky. I have plenty of those.

The black lace has a feminine floral pattern. There are a few larger flowers and many smaller leaves adorning the lace. It's a very thin lace. However, it's not super soft. The lace of the Baci hipster I have is thicker and glides nicely against the skin.

Of course, you want a crotch liner; however, Dreamgirl disappoints in this area. There is a tiny liner that is no more than two inches long, and it seems set far back. It's not a sturdy piece of cotton; either. You can see right through it to the lace. I've noticed that panties without a proper liner tend to pick up an unpleasant smell from sweat and such, and this was the case with these.

Unfortunately, the lace is also far more delicate than almost every pair I've ever had. I think this is due to the thinness. I found myself accidentally catching my nails on these. After a single wear, elastic threads were breaking. I will probably wear them a little bit more, but I expect more for something at this price.

It seems like these are only best for in the bedroom, but I buy panties to wear all the time. In terms of comfort, these were okay. They have soft, fabric elastic around the waist and legs -- unlike the plastic type that panties sometimes use. They stayed put; although, I did have some irritation toward the end of the night. This may be due more to the fact that I'd just shaved. Comfort-wise, these could be every day panties.

I had washed these beforehand in a lingerie bag, which is what I do for all my delicate panties. I rarely have a problem, and I'm no stranger to lace like I mentioned. Although this is one of the cheaper panties I've purchased from EF, the price is comparable to something I might purchase from VS, and I'd like to see comparable quality.

I'll still wear this until it's too messy to look good, but I is a sad panda.

Although it's not quite fair to say that I don't like these anymore, the lace has quickly begun to fray. They're definitely not as high quality as I like even my delicate underwear to be. For example, lace from VS seems to last much longer. Still, I'll probably get a few more wearings out of them.
