A couple of
weeks ago, I got a notice from Jamie over at Black Girl Nerds. She received an email from a web promoter
looking for someone to review lingerie for their website. Immediately I put a bid in because I love
lingerie, and I’ve wanted to continue my Sexy Things series. So I contacted the web promoter
and she said I had to choose a piece of lingerie from their online catalog
and review it. The lingerie was free of
charge, so how could I possibly lose?
There were several websites to choose from. I selected the Plus Size Lingerie Boutique, which is obviously meant for us thick curvy bombshells, and they have a wonderful selection with reasonable prices. Too wonderful, as everything I liked had already sold out. Eventually, I decided on the Dreamgirl Satin Seduction Floral Lace Robe and Charmuese Babydoll in fire engine red.
To get the full
and proper experience, I took a hot bath redolent with the fragrance du jour, eucalyptus. My bed was freshly made and I had a glass of
Red Moscato ready. When I got out of my
bath, soft, warm, and smelling good, I couldn’t wait to put on the Dreamgirl
Babydoll. As you can see in the
pictures, the babydoll crisscrosses over the back, so it took me a moment to
put it on correctly. I didn’t think to
adjust the straps at first—excited, remember—so when I first put it on, the
straps cut into my skin. I removed the
babydoll, adjusted accordingly, and put it back on. The satin felt magnificent and I was amused
to find out how short it really was on me.
In the picture, it looks a bit longer, but in actuality, it literally
stopped at my thighs. Of course, that isn’t a problem. The skirt flares out just as the picture
shows. The robe is as long as the
babydoll itself.
A
caveat: The following does not negate
the fact that the Dreamgirl Babydoll is perfect if you want to get certain
things accomplished.
The issue revealed
itself with my boobs. The babydoll looks
exactly as shown, but my breasts are larger than the model’s and the material didn’t
fully cover them as shown in the picture, and once I adjusted the straps, I
couldn’t get it to look right. If this
is something that’s marketed to plus-sized babes, then there should be adequate
material to cover the breasts. From what
I could tell, the babydoll would be perfect for someone with a pair of
40-42Ds, something I haven’t been in a while.
My boobs hung out on both sides
and the only things that were significantly covered were my nipples. That annoyed me. I prefer my lingerie to cover the outside of
my breasts and leave the cleavage free.
The photograph shows that, but that’s not how it actually is, unless you’re
a small-breasted curvy babe. Not the case with yours truly.
Overall, I’m
satisfied with the item I chose, but that was only because it was free. If I’d paid for it, I would have exchanged it
for something else. But as far as the
actual website, I know that I will be visiting it again. There’s just too much lingerie goodness to be
had. And they have a costume
website! It’s called the Plus Size Costume Super Center.
Remember Sexy Things #5? Um,
yeah. They have one.
Rating 3/5
stars.
Oh, by the way...if anyone has suggestions or requests for any topic worthy of a Sexy Things post, do share. It's a popular series, and I feel compelled to continue it.
