Lingerie with polka dots is always a sure bet for my husband to tell me that I look "cute", never sexy, but "cute". That's fine for me because sexy can get old. Sometime I just want to be cute! This bra and panties set is the ultimate "cute" set with its ribbons and bows, polka dots and coverage. I just love it, read on why I do...

Packaging:
The Polka Dot Babe by Fantasy Lingerie came in a simple cardboard box. The items were inside neatly folded in a plastic bag. The product packaging is bright pink with a model photo on it. There is a decent amount of information on the box including care instructions and the size that is included.

The box can double as a nice gift. You can put it in a gift box or wrap it up, and it could be presented nicely. This item isn't too risqué so it could be given at a bridal shower, bachelorette party, as a gift to a close friend or lover.

Contents: Bra and Panties included
Made in China



Care/ Maintenance:
The care instructions for this item: machine wash warm on delicate cycle. Wash darks separately. Dry on low heat and remove promptly. The tag also says not to wring or twist the item to dry.

I would say these instructions are pretty easy to follow to care for the item. I decided to take it even a step further and hand wash mine. I like this too much to have anything happen to it in the machine wash! To maintain its shape, I recommend hanging or folding nicely. I keep mine in a Ziploc bag inside my lingerie dresser drawer.


Size:
This set is available in the sizes: S/M, and M/L.
I ordered the M/L

Measurements I took:
Laying flat across top panties – 13.5"
Laying flat across bottom of bra – 27"
Top to bottom length garter straps – 7" – 10.5"

I am typically a size small-medium. I wear size 4-6 in dresses and jeans. I have a 34D bust. The rest of my measurements can be found on my profile page. I ordered the M/L based on the bust size. HOLY CRAP is the sizing off! The M/L was more like a XS/S sizing! The bra would be best for someone with a B cup and the panties would be best for a size 2 with no hips! This is one of the most off sized items I've ever gotten!



Design/Shape:
Bows and polka dots galore is what describes this set best! Totally cutesy and adorable. The colors are black and white, patterns, bows and more!

The bra is lightly padded and has a flimsy underwire. The front of the bra kind of looks pin-up like because of the shape. There is a satin white bow on the front, that you can remove if you absolutely hate it! There are small bows on the adjustable bra straps as well. There is a thin layer of lace that is on the side panel of the bra. The back of the bra is hook and eye closures and there are 3 different adjustable settings.

The panties are full coverage and very comfortable fitting (although they were too small for me). They have a small waistband and are kind of booty short style. They have garters on the front and the back. The front garters have white bows on them to match the bra bows. There is no panty liner.

Material/Texture:
The material make up is 10% spandex and 90% polyester.

There is a decent mount of stretch to these pieces. When the polka dots are stretched, they became less white and had black lines in them. The material is smooth and soft and comfortable to the touch. The materials feel sturdy and long lasting. The craftsmanship seems to be good. The material is mid-weight and not very breathable.

Personal Experience :

I think this is a cute set for many occasions. It can be worn under clothes or for a special event like an anniversary. I will not be wearing this very often, if ever, because the sizing is so weird. Unless I lose a lot of weight, it will probably stay in the closest. I am saddened by this since it is so cute and my husband likes it too. It is just not worth squeezing uncomfortably into it!
