Lovehoney Unwrap Me Purple Babydoll

I was pleased to see another colour available for the popular Unwrap Me babydoll, the world can never have enough colour options. I’ve been dying to try out this style so I was even more pleased when I was given the opportunity to receive this babydoll to review, especially since this gorgeous purple is my favourite colour variation yet! Thanks, Leanne!

Quality wise this babydoll is excellent, you would think it cost a lot more than it does. The lace is just fantastic; durable, vibrantly coloured and super soft to the touch. None of that cheap, stiff, itchy lace, this stuff is fabulous. The ribbons are soft and shiny and while they are slick enough to untie in a flash, they have enough grip to stay tied until you wish them otherwise.

One size items can be very hit and miss, but thanks to the stretchy lace and the ribbon ties on both the neck and front of the bust it’s easy to get a good fit with this babydoll. At a size 10-12 with a 32D bust I found this fits me perfectly all over and is super comfortable to boot.

I found this babydoll was pleasantly flattering, how it sits on you largely depends on how you tie the ties. There isn’t much bust support from the soft lace cups but it is possible to get some lift by tying the halterneck tighter, which in turn makes the babydoll sit higher. The way I tie the halterneck means the hemline sits a good couple of inches higher on me than it does on the model (even though I’m a tad shorter than her!) which results in quite a short babydoll. I also tend to tie the ribbons at the front of the bust quite tight, meaning the babydoll has a narrower opening down the front which helps the babydoll skim over and hide my tummy. You can achieve a more open front look by loosening the bust ribbon a little, which I do on more confident days. Really this is quite a versatile babydoll!

My favourite thing about this babydoll is how floaty and light the lace is, it drapes over your curves so beautifully and swishes and swings as you move. I found myself twirling just because I love the way it moves, which was a tad silly but in a happy way! What is lingerie for but to bring you happiness, right? I think the lightweight fabric makes this the perfect babydoll for those hot summer nights.

Overall, this is an essential for babydoll lovers; it ticks all the boxes for quality, look and feel at a great price and obviously has the added fun factor of ‘the big reveal’ when you or your partner untie the front ribbon. I think this is the only babydoll where I can forgive a lack of bust support, it’s better to have a natural shape since the point of the ribbon tie is that you’re going to untie and reveal your natural bust anyway. I’d definitely recommend this babydoll, I really can’t fault it!

My wife was really pleased with the colour of this babydoll. It's mid-purple in colour, and that suits her taste just fine. The lace is soft, now itchy, and appears well made; having survived machine washing unscathed.

The babydoll is tie-halterneck with an elastic strap around the back and a bow at the front - a bow which you can undo to reveal the goodies inside. I am supposing that this is where the Unwrap Me name comes from. It's a pretty good idea.

The hemline reaches almost but not quite to the bottom of her bum cheeks - leaving a tantalising tease when viewed from behind. It's a shame the babydoll doesn't come with a thong or similar, since the front wafts open easy and leaves little in the lower half of the body to the imagination.

The cups offer little support to the breasts, but do a decent job of hiding them away. It's nice that the bow can be tied to help create more support/uplift if wanted.

Overall, we both liked this piece - she liked it because it's quite feminine, and I liked it because the bow makes it a little naughty!
