Madeline High-Neck Cutout Stretch Lace Dress with G-String Tease B418

What the Madeline B418 is

The Madeline is a two-piece lingerie set from Tease by Fantasy Lingerie, style number B418: a wine-toned floral lace mini dress with a matching G-string. The packaging names it the Madeline Lace Dress with Cutout Neckline & G-string, and both pieces come together in a single package, so there is no separate panty to buy.

It sits in the dress end of the lingerie drawer rather than the bra-and-panty end. If you are browsing the wider Dresses & Bodysuits range, the Madeline is one of the shorter, lacier pieces in it, and one of the few that arrives with its own matching bottom.

The lace and the cut

The fabric is an allover floral lace in a deep wine ground with lighter magenta flowers worked through it. The pattern is large-scale and continuous — the flowers run unbroken from the shoulder to the hem rather than sitting as a trim at the edges — and the lace is semi-sheer, so the garment reads as patterned rather than opaque.

The neckline is the detail the style is built around. A high, narrow collar sits close against the throat, and directly below it the lace opens into a single teardrop-shaped cutout at the centre front. The collar stays up and closed while the opening beneath it does the work, which is a different effect from a plain scoop or a V-neck.

The shoulders are cut as cap sleeves — short, lace-covered, and close to the arm rather than standing away from it. The back is where the style changes completely: it drops into a deep open scoop that runs well below the shoulder blades, leaving a wide bare panel framed by lace at the shoulders and the waist. Front and back are doing two different things, which is worth knowing before you choose what to wear it with.

The length is mini, finishing at the upper thigh. The body of the dress is cut close throughout rather than loose or swing-shaped.

The matching G-string

A G-string is included with the dress as the second piece of the set. It is made to coordinate with the dress rather than contrast with it, which is the usual reason these are sold as a pair — buying a dress and then hunting for a bottom that matches a specific lace tends not to work. If you would rather see what else is in that category, the store's Panty section carries bottoms on their own.

How to wear it and look after it

Step into the Madeline rather than pulling it over your head — the collar is narrow and the lace is fine, so feeding it up from the hem puts far less strain on the neckline than forcing it down past the shoulders. Settle the collar first, then straighten the teardrop opening so it sits centred, then smooth the body down from the waist.

For care, handle it as the fine lace it is. Lingerie lace of this weight is generally washed by hand in cool water with a mild detergent, pressed in a towel rather than wrung out, and laid flat to dry away from direct heat. Machine cycles, tumble dryers, bleach and fabric softener all shorten the life of an openwork lace, and the collar and cap sleeves are the first places a snag will show. Store it flat or folded rather than on a hanger, which stretches the shoulders over time.

Who it's for

The Madeline suits an adult shopper who wants a lingerie piece that works as a whole outfit rather than as separates. The high collar and the covered shoulders give it a more structured line than a chemise or a babydoll, while the front cutout and the open back keep it firmly in the lingerie category rather than the loungewear one.

It is a reasonable pick if you like lace but find most lace sets too fussy, and a good one if you want the matching bottom settled in the same purchase. The rest of the Tease by Fantasy Lingerie line sits in the same register if this style is close but not quite right. For adults 18 and over.

Frequently Asked Questions

What comes with the Madeline B418?

Two pieces come with it: the floral lace mini dress and a matching G-string. Both are included in the single listed price, and the G-string is made in the same lace family as the dress so the two coordinate.

Does the Madeline have an open back?

Yes — the back drops into a deep open scoop that runs well below the shoulder blades. The front keeps its high collar, so the piece is covered at the throat and open behind, and a conventional back-fastening bra will not sit under it.

Is the lace see-through?

The lace is semi-sheer, meaning the floral pattern is solid where the threads run and open in between. It is not a lined or opaque fabric, and the degree of sheerness varies with how densely the flowers fall across a given area.

What size should I order?

Pick your size from the size options shown on this page before adding the Madeline to your order. Sizes follow the manufacturer's own sizing for this style; if more than one looks plausible, the close cut of the body makes the larger of the two the safer choice.

How is this order packaged for delivery?

Orders go out in plain, unmarked outer packaging. There is no product name, brand or imagery printed on the outside, and the sender line carries no indication of what is inside.
