Blue lace courtesan long sleeve chemise - chemise discontinued by DreamGirl - review by SMichelle

Lingerie addicts, do you ever find yourself thinking that you have more sexy-time outfits than regular clothes? Oh, I've been there! All the sexy chemises, babydolls, teddies, and then nothing to wear out of the house. Don't you wish that there were more sexy-time outfits that were suitable for public wear as well? I know I do.

This gorgeous piece just happens to be one of those pieces. You can wear it with nothing underneath, just for your lover...Or, you can pair it with a tank top and a pair of nice jeans, and you'll have a very sexy (yet appropriate) look that you can actually leave the house in. In my opinion, this is a MUST HAVE.

What's Included:
This set includes two pieces; the blue chemise, and the matching thong.

Material and Care:
Both pieces are made out of 90% Nylon and 10% Spandex.

The chemise and thong are both composed of a very pretty, blue, floral lace. The lace is surprisingly soft and comfortable against my skin. It's not itchy at all. It also does not seem to snag easily. That said, if you have body piercings, you're still going to want to be careful.

The lace is completely see through, so you'll need to wear something underneath it if you want to wear it out of the house.

The material is also very stretchy, so it really should accommodate a wide range of sizes nicely.

To care for this item, it's recommended that you hand wash it in cold water, and then hang it to dry. The lace dries very quickly.

Sizing:
Dreamgirl has made this piece available in three sizes; small, medium, and large. Unfortunately there are no plus sizes available.

I ordered a large, which should fit someone with the following measurements:
Cup Size: C-D
Bust: 36-38
Waist: 28-32
Hips: 38-40

I fit all of these measurements (admittedly on the upper end), and this chemise fits me just fine. In fact, I could easily see this chemise fitting someone who is slightly larger than the measurements, simply due to how stretchy the material is. That said, even if you're on the lower end of the size chart, this piece is going to be very form fitting.

Length wise, the chemise fits me more like a top than a chemise. I'm 5'6", and it doesn't really cover my bottom at all.

The thong that comes with the set does fit my 40" hips well enough. That said, I find myself wishing there was more material to it, in order to provide a little more coverage.

Design:
This piece is designed to be worn off the shoulders. There are little removable straps that can help to hold it onto your shoulders if needed. The straps are very adjustable.

The chemise has long sleeves, making it great for cold nights when you want to look sexy for your man, but don't really want to freeze. The sleeves are very long, and flare out slightly at the ends.

The lace on this piece has a beautiful floral pattern over it. The edge of the lace is unfinished at the neckline, but it does seem to be unraveling. The bottom of the chemise is seamed,

There is also a seam that goes up the back of the chemise. That seam is very noticeable, but it does not take away from the beauty of the piece.

If blue is not your color, don't worry! This piece is also available red, raspberry, purple, and white. Personally, I'm going to try to collect all of the colors!

The included thong is made up of the same material as the chemise. It does have a pantyliner that is seamed at one end, so you will be able to insert a bullet if you wish.

Packaging:
The set arrived wrapped in pink tissue paper.

Quality:
Overall, the quality of this piece is okay.
I would have liked it more if the lace at the neckline was finished properly, but otherwise, this is a high quality piece.

I truly adore this top. That's right, I'm referring to it as a top. Why? Simply as I seem to wear it as a top, over a camisole, more frequently than I wear it as lingerie.

Every time I wear this out, I get a lot of compliments. I also feel incredibly sexy and elegant when I throw this on.
