Racer dress - costume discontinued by Coquette - review by js250

Warning: One size does not fit most! If you are any larger than I am on any measurement, this dress will not fit. I am at the maximum stretch point for the material. This also hugs any and all flaws when this tight as well. I do wear a Spanx prior to sex, of course it is rapidly removed when hubby's back is turned after we get in the bedroom.

The Racer dress by Coquette is made of 100% Polyester. It has adjustable shoulder straps that are nylon and satiny looking. These do go out of adjustment easily. The seams on the dress are covered in red material, making it look like it has boning. There is no boning in this dress, however. The red mesh at the top is a great touch, is adds a bit of cleavage and sexiness to a basic dress design. The bottom has a 2" checkerboard strip at the bottom, I have found that mine rolls up after washing and I need to use an iron on low and put a damp cloth between the material and the iron to get it to lay flat again.

The instructions say to hand wash and let air dry. I wash this in my wash machine on gentle and let it air dry. I have had no problems with washing it this way and would not recommend the dryer due to the material melting or losing its stretch.

The three patches are sewn on, but could be removed with a seam ripper if you desire. I left mine on for the fun factor. This dress could be worn in public it you like the fit. I would not be comfortable wearing this in public due to the tightness on me. It is not uncomfortable, but is tighter than I would prefer.

This pairs very well with black fishnets or thigh high stockings. A bodystocking would also work to help smooth out the lines. This is a fun outfit for wearing around the house, role playing, camming or wearing out either daytime or clubbing. I would love to see this in a larger size, this is too cute for those whose partner is a big Nascar fan or motor head. Wear this to a car race or car show and have some fun with it!

The seams have held up pretty well, no loose threads. I am very happy with this product and have started stuffing pillows in it prior to wearing to get it to stretch a bit more, this is working! I will have it fitting perfectly after a few more times. As with all polyester material, this will lose the tight stretch with wear and washing. I am looking forward to that! I do love this dress and enjoy wearing it for both myself and my husband.

The Racer dress has finally stretched around my good curves enough to be comfortable and super sexy. I am still keeping this as a home only dress, but for those who have a more youthful figure...go car racing!!
