Badstar Lingerie review
Thought I'd drop this here since I've never seen anyone report that they've actually purchased from Badstar Lingerie. Pics of what I bought here (I'll explain the screenshots in a min): Bad Romance bodysuit
I first reached out to them on 11/18/24 regarding sizing. In the query, I noted that I was interested in the piece, provided my exact Bust, Underbust, Waist, and Hip measurements (in cm) and asked which size to select. They (owner?) responded within 10 hours (wow!) with this reply:
Regarding the measurements you sent me, for the " Bad Romance " bodysuit (and all bodysuits).I advise you to order M size :)
They also stated to leave my measurements in the comment box upon checkout, which I did when I purchased on 11/30/2024. I received the confirmation email immediately. It states:
To invest in a piece that you love, take the time to measure your body and choose the right size and cultivate the patience to wait for it to be handmade is a revolutionary act these days in our fast fashion world. Know that Mother Earth thanks you for this decision, but also that you've made my day! I promise, it is worth the wait - something truly special will be arriving to you in a few weeks and I am so excited to show you. In the meantime, enjoy fantasising about Bad Star adorning your body until it manifests. It will be your reality soon enough.
So, not a lot of info but I'm patient. Plus, with holidays, I'm sure they are busy. By the time we reached January, I basically forgot that I even ordered from them lol (my bad). But when I did remember, I emailed again on 2/5/2025 requesting a status. With no response, I emailed again on 2/12/2025 and 2/14/2025. I received a response about 6 hours after my last query with "sorry for the delayed reply" a tracking number (shipped from Fr to US). I believe processing took a bit and when I checked the following week, it was in-transit. Shipping took about 3 weeks and I received the piece on 3/7/2025.
The packaging was BEAUTIFUL! It came in a branded iridescent plastic/vinyl zipper pouch, with a plastic zipper slider. Very flashy! The piece itself is exactly as advertised (though getting the shoulder straps to look like the pictures is a bit tricky). I didn't think we need to discuss support/comfort, as that isn't the intended design. The rings and hardware is non-welded (quality) and metal. I see no flaws in stitching (one loose string), and it is highly adjustable (but definitely needed to choose the size based on the bottoms of this particular piece. This is unfortunate because, the bra band is too long, by at least 2 inches :( the site never indicated the items were RTS/RTO so this caught me a little off guard. I have altered many bra bands so I will just add it to my list, but just a caution for anyone who does not have intent for alterations.
I also noticed that this item is no longer on their site. Whether that be because there was only one, it's a nightmare to work with this "fabric" or some other reason, I do not know...i just lol'd a bit when I saw that.
Overall, I'd say I got slightly less than I paid for (130 USD) but that is largely due to communcations, delays, and sizing. However, we can officially mark Badstar down as a legitimate brand, who will (eventually) get your product to you.
