I wanted something simple and cheap that I could wear around the apartment but not have sex in necessarily. Since these types of lingerie choices typical get ripped off, I figured these cheap and already mostly open babydoll would do the trick. I expected this to be form fitted since it is one size fits all, but actually the top was very loose on me. I recommend this for the busty women. Beware of the small thong though!

*Contents/overview:

This set of lingerie from Leg Avenue has two pieces. The main part is a traditional open front babydoll with lace. It comes with a matching g-string thong of the same lace pattern.

*Material:

I was very impressed with the material. I ventured that it would be scratchy and thick since it was so cheap to buy, but actually the lace is very soft and comfortable. It is made of 100% nylon so it is very stretchy. Because of the lace pattern, some parts are easily to see through than others causing a seductive peek-a-boo look.

*Design/craftsmanship:

There is nothing special here. The babydoll is super simple. Two micro spaghetti straps hold up the babydoll. it has a very low scoop neck that runs into the bust. At first I thought there was no defined cup, but actually there is a seam below the bust line. This does nothing for support however. The lace material was more durable than expected and probably wouldn't snag easily or rip from just normal wear. The back of the babydoll is closed and lies on the upper mid back. The bottom covers my butt, but may not for someone with a longer torso. Since the front is open the rest of the babydoll hangs nicely around the rest of the body.

The panties are traditional g-string style but were of poor craftsmanship though. The elastic bands are scratchy. It would be so much sexier if they were the same micro cording as the top straps of the babydoll.

*Cleaning/care/storage:

This has to be hand washed in warm water or put in a pillow case for a washing machine. This will help protect the gorgeous lace from being snagged. After washing hang to drip dry and NEVER iron. The design is kind of crinkled to begin with and looks great this way. To store, you can try to put it back in the bag and then back in the box or find a freezer size Ziploc bag to put it in. Because of the straps, you might be able to hang this also.

*Sizing:

It comes in one size fits most, which is usually not true but actually this time it was a bit different. This babydoll would probably fit most larger women, especially in the bust. Plus the open front design accommodates for any hips and tummy.

There measurements for the one size are as follows: It says that it will fit a dress size of 6-11, bust size of A-C, band size 32-38", waist of 23-29", and hips of 34-40". This is true for the babydoll part at least. It fits well above this though. I have size 34 D/36 C breasts and there was PLENTY of room in the cups. I could wrap the rest of the babydoll around me and it would meet my sides so this could fit someone with a much larger waist and hips than me and I'm on the higher part of the range.

Even though the top can fit much larger breasts, I'm not sure that the tiny straps would hold up. They didn't seem strained at all by the weight of my breasts however.

The panties do not fit the size chart though. The hip size is way smaller. It probably would fit a size 32-34 hip without cutting in, but anything larger it will, unless you wear your thongs like they did in the eighties. I don't though...the lower the sexier. My hips are around 39" and I made my peace with them since the babydoll went over it anyways, but if this were a bikini set, I'd be replacing the panties especially since the band is scratchy material.

*My Re-done Sizing Chart:

Dress size: 6-18 (for real!)
B-DD Cup
32-44" Bust
32-36" Hip

*Conclusion:

I'm giving this 3 stars overall. The price is awesome and I would be giving the babydoll 4 stars if it weren't for the pesky panties.

I ended up passing this along to a friend. It wasn't something I wanted taking up space in my permanent collection since I knew it probably wouldn't be worn again...until perhaps a pregnancy and since that isn't in the plans for a few years, I decided to part with it. I gave it to a gal with similar measurements as me and she felt the same about the sizing, but loved the top and how sheer it is. I still recommend this to any woman on a budget who is in the sizing chart that I re-did. The top is great for many women and if you have matching panties of your own, this would be a great inexpensive buy- it just doesn't do much for me.
