Lace chemise with strappy back - chemise discontinued by Music legs - review by js250

The Lace Chemise Arrives inside a small, fat cardboard box with a picture of the model wearing this outfit on both sides. This is a OSFM chemise and due to the lace being super stretchy, it will fit many different sizes and body types.

There are Two straps on the bust area and two straps on the band area under the breast, these criss-cross over the back and the breast area straps then connect to the band area and vise-versa. This is a bit interesting to get straightened out prior to putting the chemise on, but once you have the straps straight and put your head through, you are set to go! You will have to rearrange them after you get the rest of the chemise on. I never could get them to stay in the correct places. I think the bouncing of the breasts moves them around too much for me to ever look right in this chemise.

The material is Nylon and the lace has a beautiful swirly floral pattern. The stretch is amazing and I did not get itchy from the lace. This is one of the softer lace outfits and I was very happy about that! I could see someone wearing this over their swimsuit or sports bras as a cover-up. The back might look a bit awkward for wearing over tank tops or tube tops, but that would be up to your personal preferences. For the bedroom, once you are laying on your back--the outfit is amazingly sexy. My husband was a bit frustrated for a few-in a fun way!- because of the lack of breast access, but when I sat up and removed the top strap and pushed the chest area down, he was very happy with the results.

Hand washing is recommended by the manufacturer and me, I use the Dona Lingerie Wash, and air drying is mandatory unless you want a nylon ball to play with. I store this in the original box, but I have many of these outfits and need to know which one I am grabbing so the box is very helpful for my purposes. You may also store this in a lingerie drawer either folded or rolled or a plastic baggie to keep it from snagging. I do not recommend hanging this one up, the straps make it difficult to get placed on a hanger correctly and it might fall off to the bottom of your closet.

I wear a size 10 dress and this chemise fits me pretty darn good! I can adjust it to mid thigh or just above the knee by adding flattering 'wrinkles' in the material over the stomach area. The more of these little wrinkles you add from just a tug and letting the material bunch, the more it hides and flatters a tummy pooch. I just discovered this by accident and now am using this with every one of these outfits!! I have a tummy pooch. This chemise will probably fit up to a 12 or 14--but please do not hold me to that, it is just a guess based on the way it fits me.

I like everything but the straps on this chemise. They cut into you after wearing this for over an hour and leave deep red grooves where the straps go across your shoulders and back. The straps aren't even tight!!

I loved this when I first got it but the more I wear this, I am realizing I am going to have to seriously alter the shoulder and back straps to make this chemise more comfortable and less constricting.
