I was sent this assignment just before my boyfriend's birthday, so I was excited that I would be able to wear it for him. There was a lot of teasing and buildup on my part by laying it on my body with my clothes on and making him reel in excitement for how hot I was going to look in it.

Why oh why didn't I do the math? Every time I held it up to my body that the crotch was just below my belly button and that my crotch is NOT just below my belly button?

I guess I thought that because it seemed to have a little elastic give that I would fit into it. It says "one size," and usually stuff like that stretches. With its open design, stuff could also hang out without ruining the structural integrity of the teddy. With the snap crotch, even if I had to squeeze it on I wouldn't have to wriggle out of it and look all stupid in front of him.

Let's face it, there's little more in the world that can embarrass you like struggling to fit into and out of lingerie. Talk about a mood killer.

But the night came and I slipped quietly into the bathroom to put it on. I got it around my ass all right and I'm a size 14. Then when I tried to pull it up over my neck for the top part I found the problem. It wasn't a squeezing-too-big-of-body-parts-into-tiny-teddy problem; it's just that my torso was too long. I couldn't stand up. Sadly it's like this thing was designed for small children and I can't imagine why anyone would do such a thing.

The model on the box seems to be posing in it just fine, but there's no telling how tall/short she is. I imagine that my friend, who is just under 4'11", would probably fit into this, but anyone who goes over the 5'4" mark should think twice about this teddy. It's very cute, don't get me wrong, but it's tiny.

Should you be short enough to use this piece, congratulations! The best way to clean it is to machine wash it COLD and lay it flat to dry, never bleach or iron it.

Though this never worked for me, it looked really hot on a smaller friend of mine. Then again, it was kind of scratchy and uncomfortable for her, so it's still not a very cool outfit.
