Fantasy Lingerie Vixen Open-Back Long Sleeve Teddy

Vixen is a long sleeve teddy, which is not what most teddies are. The sleeves run down the arms, the back is open, and the whole piece is rhinestone fishnet. So you have covered arms and a bare back, and the fishnet makes it all see-through. It's the kind of mix that works because the sleeves feel like a layer and the open back takes it back.

Put your arms through the sleeves first and pull the piece up over your shoulders. The rhinestones are set into the fishnet, so catch them on nothing. Rings, bracelets and long nails are the usual culprits. Once it's on, the stretch (it's 90% nylon and 10% spandex) lets it settle against you.

There's one size, and it covers size 2 to 12. The numbers are a bust of 32 to 38 in and hips of 34 to 38 in. That's a decent range, but an open-back teddy has a lot of exposed skin, so the fit on the torso matters. Measure before you order.

Checking the fit

Run a soft tape around the fullest part of your chest, level and not pulled tight. Do the same around the fullest part of your hips. If both land inside the 32 to 38 in bust and 34 to 38 in hip range, one size will suit you. If either is outside it, the fishnet will be stretched further than it likes, and you're better off looking at a different cut.

Sleeve length is the other thing. Measure from your shoulder to your wrist if you want to be sure the sleeves won't ride up.

Getting dressed

Open-back pieces are easiest to put on from the feet up. Step in, bring the teddy up your legs, then slide your arms into the sleeves one at a time. Straighten each sleeve before you move on to the next, and check that the rhinestones sit flat against the fishnet.

Care

Look at the label before you wash it. If you aren't sure, hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent, press the water out without wringing and lay the teddy flat to dry. Heat damages rhinestone settings, so skip the dryer. A mesh laundry bag helps if you use a machine.

Where it fits in an outfit

Long sleeves change the way a teddy reads. Most teddies show the arms and shoulders. This one covers them, and the open back becomes the surprise when you turn around. It works well under a robe, since the robe hides the back until you want it seen.

Because the fishnet is sheer and set with rhinestones, plain skin or a simple layer underneath lets the pattern show. Try it with your hair up so the open back isn't hidden.

How we ship it

We send the teddy in a plain, unmarked box that doesn't mention lingerie or anything else about the contents.
