Magic Silk
Magic Silk hits the precise spot between affordable and actually nice, which is harder to achieve than it sounds. Their satin chemises and lace bra sets are the ones worth reaching for on a random Tuesday with no particular occasion. The satin quality is what ends the cheap-lingerie cycle.
Their particular strength is the chemise and babydoll cuts: the drape is good, the lace trim isn't scratchy, and sizing tends to run true enough that you don't need to consult three different charts. For an entry to mid-range lingerie budget, this is the place to spend it.
Their satin pieces use polyester satin with lace trim. Not actual silk, but the weight and drape are noticeably better than budget alternatives. Machine washable on delicate.
Generally true to size with a slight lean toward generous. The chemise and babydoll cuts have built-in ease, so many people size down if between sizes.
Magic Silk carries through 1X/2X in most styles. Their extended range is more limited than Dreamgirl or Fantasy Lingerie, so check individual listings for availability.
The classic satin and lace short chemise. Simple construction, consistently good drape, and a solid color range across black, red, ivory, and seasonal options.
