Boatneck chemise - chemise discontinued by DreamGirl - review by js250

The Boatneck Chemise by DreamGirl is a very sexy and feminine piece of lingerie. It is versatile, can be worn in public, if paired with the correct clothing under it, and is perfect for lounging around the house or seducing your partner!

This chemise comes in its own fold-over cardboard box that is perfect for storing it in your lingerie drawer. It helps reduce snags and allows you to see the garment prior to sorting through all your lingerie to find this one item.

Hand wash the chemise in cold water and mild detergent. Let it air dry, do NOT dry this in a dryer. The mesh is 92% polyester and 8% spandex and the lace trim is 90% polyester and 10% spandex. There is a fair amount of stretch in the netting and the lace, however there was not as much as I would have thought. DreamGirl claims it will fit women from 90-160 pounds. I would agree with their sizing recommendation.

The main material is fishnet, about 1/8" weave. The neck, lower back band and bottom band are stretchy elastic. The lace starts at the hem, goes all the way up the sides, loops over to form the armhole and goes back down to the hem. The back is completely open, this allows for greater fitting sizes, and the back of the chemise is netting over your derriere. This piece is only 1 foot long, so it can rise up over your butt.

I am getting some of the lace or fishnet bra/tube top lingerie pieces here on Edens to go under this chemise and make it more versatile. This will also allow me to wear this around the house for lounging and teasing my husband.

You cannot beat the comfort of this garment, the netting can be a bit itchy, but this goes away about 5 minutes into wearing it. The lace is very soft and lies flat. I did enjoy wearing the chemise with the armholes over my shoulders, this allowed for a couple more inches in length of the garment.

You do need to be careful when you wash and store this chemise, the netting will snag. Do not cut the loose threads, this will unravel the whole dress. Do not ask how I found that out!

I love this chemise and am going to get a back-up, this is so versatile and comfy! My husband loves this on me and teasing him is just too much fun. I highly recommend this as an addition to your lingerie collection.

I love the versatility of this chemise! I cannot wait until the weather warms up so I can pair this with jeans and a tube top for going to the lake or out during the day.

My husband loves this with nothing under it, imagine that! I love to tease him a bit and add one of the fishnet bra and panty sets under this chemise before we play around. It looks pretty hot and is very enticing for him as well.

Grab one of these before summer hits, you will love pairing it with you summer clothing, using it as a cover up and for the bedroom as well!
