Boatneck chemise - chemise discontinued by DreamGirl - review by SMichelle

I love fishnet outfits, but sometimes it feels like if you've seen one... you've seem them all. This fishnet chemise is unique and sexy, combining lace accents with the fishnet body. The low-cut back is also a nice twist on a fishnet dress. I adore this chemise, and I think that you will, too.

Basics:
This chemise is made by Dreamgirl, and it comes with an included thong. The chemise is only available in black.

According to the packaging, the outfit was made in China.

Material & Care:
There are two different fabrics that make up this chemise. Firstly, you have the fishnet, which is made of 92% Polyester and 8% Spandex. Next, you have the lace, which is made of 90% Nylon and 10% Spandex.

The fishnet material, which makes up the bulk of the chemise, is very durable and stretchy. It's also a rather tight fishnet, with the holes being quite small. While I do think that the material feels durable, you should keep in mind that the netting still might snag easily. For this reason, you should be careful when wearing it.

The lace material accounts for the sleeves, and is found extending all the way down the sides of the chemise. The lace is floral, and it's quite soft. It feels to be just as durable as the fishnet material. The lace material contains more spandex than the fishnet, so you would think that it'd be stretchier. It's not... I actually find that the lace doesn't really have any stretch to it at all. All in all, I found the material to be incredibly comfortable. I absolutely love wearing this!

There is also some elastic on the piece. The elastic is located around the neckline, the bottom of the skirt, and the top of the lower back. The elastic is very stretchy, and it helps to ensure that the piece fits properly.

The included thong is made up of the same fishnet material, but honestly? It's a throwaway. It's just not a quality undergarment.

To care for this item, I'd recommend hand washing it, and then line drying it. Also, to prevent snagging, I'd suggest that you store this in a ziplock baggy.

Sizing:
This chemise is only available in one size fits most. The packaging states that one size fits most should fit between 90-160lbs.

Dreamgirl's size chart gives the following information for their one size fits most pieces:
Size: 2-14
Cups: B/C
Bust: 32-38"
Waist: 24-32"
Hips: 34-40"

I wear a 34d bra, and have a 32" waist. My hips measure 40". This piece fits me very comfortably, though the the thong is a little small. You're probably not buying this piece for the thong, though, so I wouldn't worry too much about that.

I feel like this piece can easily fit above the size chart, due to how stretchy it is. It's not going to fit someone that's 10 inches larger, but it should stretch to fit someone that's 3" or 4" larger.

Design:
This chemise has a high-cut neckline in the front, yet the back is extremely low-cut. The back is so low-cut that your entire back will be revealed, with the net material only covering your bottom. The back has elastic bands at both the top and bottom, which help to hold it in place.

The front of the chemise is made of fishnet material, and as such, you shouldn't expect to find any bust support here. The fishnet is accented by gorgeous lace trim. The lace goes up over the shoulders, forming non-adjustable shoulder straps, and it extends all the way down the sides of the chemise. I love the lace, as I feel that it brings a little something special to an otherwise very basic fishnet dress.

Packaging:
This item arrived in Dreamgirl's typical cardboard-case packaging. The packaging features photographs of the model on both the front and back, so it's not really discreet. The models nipples are not visible, due to the fact that Dreamgirl photoshops them out -- weird. The packaging provides plenty of information on the item, and it does a great job of protecting the outfit.

I don't feel that the packaging is suitable for storage. Instead, I store the chemise in my lingerie drawer.

Quality:
The quality is highly impressive, especially when you factor in the low price. The included thong did have a lot of loose threads, but I didn't plan on wearing the thong, so that's no big deal. The chemise is in perfect condition, without a single flaw!

I love this fishnet dress! I purchased it with the plan of wearing it as lingerie, but it also looks fantastic when worn over a black top -- just as long as I wear a jacket to cover the open back. I think that it would also make an adorable swimsuit cover-up, too.
