Luscious Lace
A very pretty piece of lingerie, it suits all body types and can withstand a beating. However, it did suffer some loose stitching after repeated use. Regardless, I would hem it until it fell apart and wear it many times.Published: January 30, 2012
Pros:
Stretchy, pretty color, very flattering to all body types
Cons:
may need hemming after a while.
I picked out this chemise for review because I figure I could give it an interesting spin. I am an exotic dancer. When I saw this my first thought was that it would make for an excellent outfit at work. I requested it and took it to work with me the first night I got it.
My initial thoughts on the piece when I opened it was what a lovely color it was. It's a very vibrant shade of teal, my favorite color. The hems are stitched well and the entire thing is stretchy and forgiving, which is a plus. It comes with two shoulder straps that are removable. All in all, well designed. I put it on and went to work.
This chemist can take a beating. It held up nicely, enduring several days of repeatedly taking it off and putting it back on. It didn't rip and stretched with my body nicely as I danced. It doesn't show dirt or hold on to smoke smells. I received many, many compliments on it from both men and women, and the women asked where I got it and for how much. It's very flattering and I recommended it to the women who asked.
Now for the downside, though I only have one point in this area. I noticed that some of the stitching that held the lace border on up top had started to come undone. It could be easily remedied by a couple stitches with a thread of similar color, but this happened after only three nights of wear. Admittedly, I had put the chemise through it's paces having taken it off and putting it back on multiple times a night, sometimes in a hurry, but I was sad to see it happen.
Regardless of the loose stitches at the top, I would gladly hem it back together and wear it again, and again, and again. The color is gorgeous and I definitely appreciate the stretchiness of the material. It's a beautiful piece of lingerie and I look forward to using it in the bedroom as well!

Thank you for viewing Blue lace courtesan long sleeve chemise review page!



Good review! Did you find the sizing to be accurate? I do like the color for this, but I am sad to see that it isn't quite holding up to the test of repeated-usage...
Thank you for the unique POV!
Thanks for the review.
Thanks for the review
Thanks for the review! This is a great way to test the durability of it! If it can withstand you dancing for a few days, it should be able to hold up to light usage super well.
I would have liked to know more about how it fit in different areas of the body and if it was comfortable. also, is it as sheer as it looks? Did a thong come with it or what did you choose to wear under it (if anything)? Thanks.
Is the lace itself strong, have you washed it?
Awesome review. I usually always have trouble with lace stuff. it doesn't last long but the stuff is too gorgeous to pass up! Love this color though.
I was wondering if you've washed it as well!
I have yet to wash it, but I imagine it would hold up just fine in a lingerie bag! I will do a follow-up with that detail.
Thanks for sharing!
thanks for the review. I want one of these. I love the color.
I'm glad that you talked about the durability and comfort level of the material. I would have also like to see how it should be washed, although I'm assuming it's a hand-wash item.
good job
Thanks for the review!
It doesn't seem like all lace stuff holds up for long, but this is really pretty.
