Packaging:

The Dreamgirl Lace Dressing Gown Robe with Matching Shorts arrived on a black plastic Dreamgirl hanger wrapped in clear plastic. On each side of the shorts is a small loop of satin ribbon which attaches to the hanger, these are easily cut away. The sets black plastic hanger which features the name ‘DreamGirl’ can come in handy for long term hanging of the set as it is smooth and free of any sharp seams so doesn’t run the risk of tearing the sets delicate lace material.




First Impression:

Seeing the set in person for the first time, the lace of the robe has a beautiful vintage look to it. The cut of the robe is kimono like with a scalloped lace trim at the front. The length of the robe is shorter than most and the flower lace pattern is sexy and quite definitely see-through in places. The sleeves of the robe are roughly three quarter length and loose fitting while the robes tie is an incredibly soft shiny satin ribbon with a generous amount of length. The shorts are made of a soft and very stretchy material with a matching lace trim around the legs. While they are cut in such a way that they cover you fully like boyshorts, the soft mesh material they are made of is teasingly sheer.

In Wear:

Trying on the robe for the first time, the lace material isn’t quite as soft as some items I own but also isn’t scratchy in wear. At 5”4 tall myself, the end of the robe sits just half way down my cheeks (shorter than it is on the model in the product photos) this gives the set a teasing look. When worn together with the shorts this means that the matching lace trim of the shorts is on show which really brings the look of the set together. The front of the robe features a scallop trim and even when tied still shows a nice amount of skin. The long satin tie of the robe is incredibly soft and one of my favourite things about the set, while it is so silky that it can be a little tricky to tie, once it is tied it rests at the front of the robe looking shiny and luxuriously soft. It helps to break up the all lace and sheer look of the robe and actually reminds me of a ribbon on a gift waiting to be opened. The tie is attached at the back of the robe and is supported by two thin loops, one on each side of the robe.

In terms of comfort the robe is light and airy and unlike some lace lingerie items, the material doesn’t scratch the skin. The material of the shorts is incredibly soft and very stretchy and the lace trim on them is comfortable too. The sleeves of the robe are loose fitting so this allows for alot of movement. The generous length of the ribbon tie can be tied to any length or tightness and helps to create a nice shape in wear, highlighting the waistline.

Experience:

In terms of sexiness, this set certainly didn’t disappoint. The slightly open front of the robe, delicate looking scallop trim, see-through flowered lace pattern, short length and sheer shorts all combine to make this set a winner when it comes to sex appeal. The satin tie at the front begs to be untied and the ruching at the back of the sheer shorts draws attention. These lace trimmed shorts definitely make a nice change from the usual string thong that is often supplied with lingerie sets and the shorts are something I can easily see myself wearing to bed with other lingerie items or as sexy PJ shorts separately. I think the robe would even be perfect for wearing over a satin shorts and cami pajama set.

Material/Care:

On the sets labels, the robe is listed as being 100 Percent Nylon while the shorts are listed as being 92 Percent Nylon and 8 Percent Spandex. The set should be hand washed in cold water and line dried. It shouldn’t be ironed or placed in a tumble dryer. While I have yet to wash the robe, I can say that the shorts have survived a cool machine wash with no problems.
