I must start off by saying that I absolutely adore this set. I coveted it for weeks, waiting for it to come back in stock, and jumped on it as soon as I saw that it was. Not only does it look amazing in the photos here on EdenFantasys, but it looks amazing in person as well! I'm very impressed by the quality of this set, and love that it's under $40.


Made by Dreamgirl (which is a company I am growing to love, they really take care of us more full figured girls!), this set includes a chemise, and a matching ruffle-backed panty.


The black chemise is soft and silky, and adorned with a slimming pinstripe pattern that I am personally a big fan of. It features pink lace details on the bosom and the trim. The lace is soft and not at all scratchy like some laces can be. There is also a little black button/decoration in the center. I snipped it off, I just felt that it looked better without it. The chemise does have underwire under the cups, which is a nice touch. I'm a big fan of underwire and I almost feel naked without it, no matter what I'm wearing. Honestly, my only complaint with this set, is that I am a bit small chested (borderline ample B/small C) for my otherwise full figure, so I don't quite fill out the cups the way I would like. This is in no way a flaw of the lingerie itself though, just something I have to deal with often when it comes to buying lingerie to fit my body. When I first opened this piece and held it up, I was afraid the chemise seemed a bit "boxy," that it would not flatter my hourglass figure or hug my curves in the right places, but I was instantly proven wrong when I tried it on. It skims and accentuates my curves, without being skin tight. It's lovely, and I actually appreciate that on me, it is not tight. It's both flattering AND comfortable. I have actually worn this to bed on nights when my husband isn't even home, it's just that comfortable. The back of this chemise is flared out to show off the ruffle bottomed panty that is included. I love this detail, and so does my husband. Plus it makes for a bit of extra room for wider hips. I ordered a 1x/2x (I normally wear a 14, pants/dress size), but I might have been able to get away with a smaller size because of this.


I was more interested in the chemise when I ordered this, and didn't pay much attention to anything else. I was pleasantly surprised to find that included were actually panties, and not a thong. While these fit well (and I do have large hips, 44"), I found that the back of the panty was a bit small and lacked the coverage I would have preferred. They might as well have included a thong, because these make their way into being one anyway... They are black with the same pinstripe design as the chemise, and the three rows of pink lace ruffle detail are absolutely adorable. I love the way it looks with the slit in the back of the chemise. The panties have a cotton lining, which is nice and not something I have seen very often with lingerie. As cute as they are, I actually prefer to just wear a pair of plain black or pink panties that have more coverage with this, or no panties at all.


This set is 90% Polyester, 10% Spandex. Care instructions say to had wash in cool water, and line dry. I have washed this in cold water, on a delicate cycle several times and it's been fine. I prefer to hang it to dry, but my husband put it in the dryer once on medium heat, and it suffered no damage.

I shared a few photos on my blog: Tame or Temptress

I still love this. It's super cute, and very comfortable. It has held up very well, even with machine washing. The cups are still a little big for me, but as it's usually only worn for a little while, no big deal, and if I wear it with a bra, the cups fit just fine. I'd purchase this again.
