After Dark Nurse Apron-Back Babydoll with Medic Hat and Panty Curve P223

The After Dark Nurse Costume Set at a glance

This is a nurse-themed roleplay outfit in red and black, sold as a four-piece set under style code P223. The hanger card names it on its spine as the After Dark Nurse Costume Set and badges it Plus Size, under the Curve wordmark and the Fantasy Lingerie signature. The pieces are an apron-back babydoll with an attached flared skirt, a panty, garter straps, and a medic hat.

Curve is the extended-size label within Fantasy Lingerie, so P223 is drafted on that block from the start. Everything else carrying the same badge is gathered in Curve by Fantasy Lingerie, and this style is cross-filed under Babydolls.

Piece by piece

The babydoll is the centerpiece, and it reads as a dress rather than a two-part outfit. The bodice is red, with black contrast piping tracing the vertical seam lines down the front, so the paneling shows as a deliberate design line instead of disappearing into the fabric. The cups are shaped and outlined in that same black trim, each one carrying a bold black cross appliqué. Those crosses do the nurse theming on their own, with no lettering anywhere on the garment.

Above the cups sits a strappy cage detail: thin black straps that cross the upper bust and run up into adjustable spaghetti shoulder straps. Each strap passes through a small slider at the side, which is where the length adjustment happens.

Turn it around and the construction becomes clear. The back is open from the shoulder blades down, which is the apron back the listing name refers to. One elasticated strap crosses behind the bust line to anchor the cups, and below it a wide red satin ribbon wraps the waist and ties into a generous bow at the center back. That ribbon is the fit adjustment for the body of the garment.

The skirt is black, flared, and attached at the waist seam, falling to upper-thigh length with a soft, slightly rippled hem. It is split at the center back, so the two halves fall either side of the bow rather than gathering underneath it.

Underneath, the panty is red with black elastic trim and a cheeky-cut back. Black garter straps run from the waistline down over the thighs, each one finishing in a metal clip with a red tab. The medic hat completes the theme: a flat black nurse's cap on a headband, with a glossy red heart on the front and a black cross set into it, echoing the appliqués on the cups.

What adjusts, and what does not

Two things on this garment move: the shoulder straps and the waist ribbon. The straps run through sliders at the sides and shorten or lengthen in the usual way. The ribbon is the more interesting one, because it is a tie rather than a hook-and-eye closure, so the waist settles wherever you knot it instead of snapping to a fixed row of fastenings.

That is worth knowing before ordering, since it is the detail that governs how a tie-back piece behaves when you sit between two sizes. Sizes for P223 come from the dropdown on this page. The panty, garter straps and hat have no sizing of their own beyond the elastic and the headband.

Wearing it

This is a themed set rather than everyday lingerie, so it is built around an occasion: a costume party, a themed photo shoot, Halloween, or a roleplay night at home. The red-and-black palette is deliberately graphic, and the cross appliqués and medic hat carry the theme without anything else being added to the look.

If you want to use the garter straps, you will need a pair of thigh-high stockings for the clips to fasten onto. Black is the obvious choice against the skirt. The hat sits on a headband, so it works with hair worn up or down.

Who it's for

This set is for adults 18 and over who wear plus sizes and want a complete themed look in a single purchase rather than assembling one from separate pieces. It suits anyone who likes a costume that is unmistakably a costume, since the cross appliqués and the hat are not remotely subtle, and that is the point of the design.

If you would rather have lingerie without a theme attached to it, the wider lingerie range covers plainer babydolls and sets.

Good to know

Check the garment's own care label before washing. Pieces built from fine stretch knits with appliqués, satin ribbon and metal hardware are generally happiest washed gently by hand in cool water and dried flat, away from direct heat.

The garter straps finish in metal clips, so take care not to snag sheer hosiery on the hardware when fastening them. Store the set flat or hanging rather than folded under heavier garments, so the satin ribbon and the hat hold their shape. Keep out of reach of children.

Frequently Asked Questions

What comes in the After Dark Nurse Costume Set?

The set is made up of four pieces: the apron-back babydoll with its attached black flared skirt, a red panty with black trim, garter straps, and the matching black medic hat with a red heart and cross.

Does this come in plus sizes?

It is a plus-size style only. Curve is the extended-size label the hanger card badges it with, and the front of the pack reads Plus Size beneath the brand signature. Pick a size from the dropdown on this page.

How does the babydoll fasten at the back?

It ties. The back is open, with one elasticated strap crossing behind the bust and a wide red satin ribbon at the waist that wraps around and finishes in a bow at the center back. The shoulder straps are separately adjustable for length.

How should I wash it?

Follow the care label on the garment itself, which is the authority for this piece. As a general rule, delicate stretch knits with appliqué and satin detailing do best hand-washed gently in cool water and laid flat to dry, rather than machine-washed or tumble-dried.

Will the parcel say what is inside?

No. The outer wrapping is plain and carries no imagery, brand marking or description of the contents, so nothing on the outside indicates what has been ordered.
