Review: Plus Size Lingerie Boutique

I love wearing pretty things. I've always been one to splurge on my lingerie - OK, maybe not so much since I became a mom, but I still like to open my underwear drawer and see a fun collection of different styles and colors to wear.

If you too love sexy lingerie, check out Plus Size Lingerie Boutique. They have everything from chemises to sexy teddies to hosiery and even shoes. (My weakness!) They also have costumes for you to wear to spice things up in the bedroom - or if you dare, to costume parties.

I was able to choose something for review, so I headed over to the costume section and I picked out the Full Length Hooded Cape Adult Costume:

My package arrived promptly! This cape is made by Rubies, a well known entry level name in the costume world. This crushed lightweight velvety cape was floor length on my 5'4" frame wearing 2" heeled boots. (Without boots, it drug the ground a little, so if you're shorter, you my want to hem it so you don't trip!) The sparkly spider web trim design is an awesome purple glitter. (Beware that it sheds, so store the cape in a dry clean style plastic cover if you don't want glitter on other clothing!) This is not a heavy weight cape to wear outside every day, but rather a fun cape for a few parties or to wear in the bedroom. If you live in a warmer climate, then maybe you could wear it daily, although I am sure it will start to show some wear after awhile.

The cape is one size fits all, which I'll admit I was surprised was on a plus sized site. In my honest opinion, it's just right for my size 12/14 body. I'd peg it at perfectly fitting a size 18/20 at the most. While if you wear a larger size, you could still wear it since technically it only closes at the neck with a tie, the cape coverage wouldn't be quite so full. If you are wanting to show off your costume, or don't mind it not covering your body completely like the photo above, then this will not bother you at all though!

The Full Length Hooded Cape Adult Costume retails for $33.99 on the Plus Size Lingerie Boutique website, and I'd say it's an appropriate and average price for what it is. I love it!

If you're interested in placing an order, for a limited time use promo code Plus10 to receive 10% off your entire order! Plus Size Lingerie Boutique also has a flat rate shipping of $5.99, or if you purchase $75 or more, shipping is free!

...I have a giant wish list from the shoes. Check out the super cool pair of Women's Sexy Teacup Open Side Pump - this mami is in love!

I received the product mentioned above in order to try it out and share my thoughts on it. All opinions are my own.

Oooh la la! Just what I've been looking for. I found some cute little lacy boyshorts at WalMart, but sometimes a girl wants to class it up a bit. Looks like I've hit the jackpot!
