Heart Print Mesh Babydoll Set - Sheer Chemise with Bow Ties & Matching Thong, Red

You Tie the Straps to Your Own Length

The straps are bows, tied at each shoulder, which means the length is yours to set rather than a manufacturer's guess at a torso. Anyone who has bought a babydoll that hung two inches too low understands why that detail is worth paying for. Below them the cut is A-line: fitted through the bust, loose from the ribcage down, and forgiving through the middle.

The dots are not printed. They are flocked velvet, raised off the transparent mesh, and the difference registers in the hand before it registers in the eye, because printed mesh is flat and this has genuine texture. Over sheer red that relief is what gives the garment depth instead of leaving it looking like a swatch. The front is open, so the two halves of the skirt part from the middle and move when you do.

It arrives as two pieces, the babydoll and a matching thong, so there is nothing else to buy to complete it. Sizes run XS (2) through XXL (12), with all measurements in the guide in both inches and centimetres; check them before ordering, because once the sealed intimates packaging is opened there is no return and no exchange. Wash it cold by hand with a mild detergent and lay it flat to dry. Bleach, the tumble dryer and the iron are all out, and heat in particular flattens the flocked dots permanently. Wash it separately the first time, because deep reds transfer, which is an expensive lesson in a shared machine downstairs.

Order it to a Brickell tower by late afternoon and it is hanging up before you decide what shoes go with it.
