I got this babydoll super cheap from Brastop. It's a very cute chemise but the cups run VERY large. I have gaping on both my breasts and it just looks unnatural. I would recommend ordering a full cup size or two smaller than your natural shape to accommodate for the fit.

Found this for a great deal on amazon so I figured I'd give it a go since I'm severely lacking in the proper lingerie department. Only just tried this bra on so more details/pics/measurements after I 'unveil' it to hubby.
First impressions:
Fit- decent! Sister sized to a 34G since 32GG was sold out. Wasn't expecting much but figured id make small compromises for the price, it was better than I expected. Wires seem really narrow for a curvy kate, I think someone mentioned they're working on making things narrower/deeper. (works for me!)
Gore lightly tacks. Band is comfy. A firm 34 but not enough to size up unless ... you're on the larger size of it or like bands comfier for loungewear. Works for my sometimes-33ish sometimes-32ish ribs. Cups need to be broken in/washed to lay better, teeny gaping but I think it's only because it's fresh out of the package. Keyhole in the back was enough to get this on but may not be enough room in bigger cup/smaller band sizes. I could see a 32J having to carefully wiggle into this type of garment.
UPDATE: gaping was from me hurriedly swoop/scooping and not getting it all. It looks great and lays flat once I did it properly. Gore could be .5-1cm lower or have wires overlap but since it's not a bra-bra I'm not worried about it. Slightly pointy shape, haven't thrown a shirt over it so I'm not sure how pointy but I love the retro look so it's fine with me.
Appearance-love the gold cups and ivory body. The sheer material looks kinda cheap to me, but I'm used to sewing with very fine fabrics. For the price range it's good. Looks to wrinkle easily.
UPDATE: cups are a peachy gold. Very pretty with swirly embroidery overlay. hubby likes it, his only criticism was that the top part was not also see through. *eyeroll*
Quality-for the $27 I paid, fantastic. Most lingerie I see is either way overpriced, tiny size range, or super cheaply constructed/fall apart
Buying the matching short next!
UPDATE AGAIN: I LOVE wearing this under my dresses. It's super comfy. I have a sheer dress that came with one of those awful spandex-y "slips" (basically a one size doesn't fit all tube with straps) so I just wear this instead. Covers up my choice of undies and if anyone happens to see it they'll just think its a slip rather than a bra. I wish I'd grabbed this up in the other 2 colorways, or a few more white ones to dye.

So much better than the Parfait Honey babydoll in quality and fit.
I didn't expect such a good fit! My standards are a little lower for nightwear: the band doesn't need to be quite as firm and I don't object if there's a little quadraboob, but I think I could actually wear this under a dress if the cup embroidery wouldn't show.
In fact, that's my only complaint. The embroidery is so 3d that it renders an otherwise amazingly versatile garment almost useless.
It probably looks less obtrusive in other colors.
The fit is so good, though, that it has redeemed my enthusiasm for CK. I will now be stalking the ritzy!ivory colorway

I was interested in trying this as it has been many years since I last had a babydoll which fit, and of all the companies coming out with babydolls this year, this was the cheapest. I have decided not to keep it.
The fit of the cups was fairly good. The band was maybe a little tighter than I would have liked, but not enough for me to go up a size. I got a fair amount of east-west from these cups, whereas naturally my breasts point forward. I didn't think it would be comfortable to sleep in; it is more something I would wear ... for lounging. I also noticed significant wrinkling/folding of the fabric near the gap under the brand.
Mostly I just didn't like how this looked on me, and I thought I would rather have a multi-purpose bra for lounging than a dedicated piece. I didn't like the thicker fabric sewn at the bottom. I suppose it is to make it hang well, but it looked like an afterthought rather than part of the design. I really didn't care for the pattern on the cups, which my partner claimed made my breasts look like aliens. I didn't think it was that bad, but it really didn't suit me although I thought I would like it because of the geometric design. It just seemed too busy.
The center gore measures 7.5 cm in the bra portion of the babydoll, and there are an additional 50 cm of fabric below that.
